I'm having a very hard time deciding between white and black. I've got a white one reserved at the Apple store tomorrow, but I'm still tempted to change my mind.
On the one hand I think the black looks a tad better, but I think the white will hold up better over time, and it might be cool to have a change.

I always went black and decided not to go back. Very happy with my decision.

I touched it up pixel by pixel on the edge.
Really? Apple's shipped products with glossy metal that was WAY more prone to scratching and scuffing than the iPhone 5 for over a decade now and it's never been this big a deal (except for maybe the 2G nano thing, and even that was way worse)
Cool looks good!
That was the Apple of the past. Present Apple is expected to make pretty quality products. I just hope it's not that bad once I get my hands on it.
I know what you mean, but they still ship two products with the glossy metal today. I do agree that they're trending away from that (thankfully) but the iPhone 5 is a far cry from the damage potential of those models

looks good, but i think itd be better if you made the gridlines light blue and the same weight like on the wallpaper

Unfortunately the grid lines are not on a separate layer, and paint bucket won't fill in only the lines.
Which glossy metal products are you talking about?
Oh nice the ebay unlocks work on the 5s? Pretty neat, too bad cant use T-mobile 4G.

Got the Incipio Feather today and really like it. It's thin but sturdy and looks great.

Just noticed my first marks on my phone. They're very small, but it still sucks.
Is there a lip so I can set the phone face down? And how is the sharp bottom edge I'm reading about?
Interesting...
So found this minimal clear case for the phone..

Awww, we hit 10000 posts and I missed it :<
Anyway, it's been almost two weeks and I'm still enjoying the hell out this phone. It still feels so fast.
LTE in my area is kinda meh and I have access to WiFi both at home and work, so it was never really that big of a deal to me.
I've also had the chance to use the new maps several times and it's worked well for me thus far.
The screen is gorgeous. I don't think anything else needs to be said about it.
I do have two complaints: 1) battery life does seem to be a little bit worse than it was on my 11 months old iPhone 4S and 2) GORRAMIT APPLE FIX THE GORRAM LOCK SCREEN ALBUM ART
Anyway, great phone as always.

Such an embarassing oversight. I couldn't believe it when I first saw that view.

Owned it for 2 days with no scuffs so far.
Nothing I can notice but I haven't taken a microscope or a DSLR right up to it to inspect every angle.
I haven't had a chance to put music on the phone yet. What's wrong with the artwork?

Well it's going to take them a bit of time to getting around to doing it and Apple to approve of the updates.
I've gotten a million updates personally.
So usefull! Thanks. There should be a button 'Mark all as read' though.
I check the App Store almost as much as I'm checking anything else on my phone. I'm hoping stuff starts getting updated faster. I hope Rayman Jungle Run gets updated soon especially since it's showing the non-retina assets on the iPhone 5 :/

Had it since launch day. No scuffs black
That doesn't make sense with a properly architected app. UI always takes priority over communications.
Yup, I'm patient.
I have gotten a few but none of the ones I use are updated for the screen resolution: skype, viber, my bank app but its mostly games like Fruit Ninja, Super Hexagon, Canabalt etc.

The problem isn't limited to any specific app...it's a system wide problem that only seems to occur during LTE coverage. The screen becomes unresponsive, usually at random and eventually fully until I lock and unlock the phone again.

a huge black area with nothing below the artwork. no reflection, no use of the extra screen space, hell, it's not even centered.
It would appear apple are now having issues with the wi-fi hardware in the ip5:

This iph5 release is turning into a cluster-fuck.

Some people are already on their third iPhone 5? Sounds almost like the next 360...
I agree, what a terrible, awful release. Apple should have this locked down perfectly and yet they still manage to balls it up.

I'm nowhere close to the volume limit so that wasn't it.
The only setting which was on, which I haven't seen before is the 'sound check' option, I turned it off now, that might have been it. I'll find out when I'm in the train again.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Can you (or someone) post a pic of this?
iOS is such a piece of shit when it comes to scaling for new screen sizes. This is exactly like the iPad route, "let's just scale this and add no more functionality whatsoever, and leave that to the apps".
Fuckin' Forestall, man.

The gap isn't below the artwork, it's above it.
Reflection is still there.
If they had 'centered' it, it would've looked much worse.

My bad. I've only held the phone in my hand for about a minute.
Still, they need to take care of this, stat.
is not the gap for playback controls while in locked mode?
they probably did not want to confuse their users as normal
Extended controls overlap the artwork by a bit.
To facilitate perfect framing of the artwork on iPhone 5s would've required them to redesign the lockscreen as a whole, which I suppose would've been great. But wasn't part of the plan of iOS6 obviously, which to me makes sense since the 5 isn't the majority mobile device on the OS yet.
