After just two short weeks with a new iPhone 5, the lightning cable port stop working in "one direction." By that, I mean, the cable plugged in one direction worked, but the other it didn't (troubleshot with four different cables between my 5 and my gf's 5). But...it's identical on both sides! Baffling, eh? Even baffled the guy at the Verizon store when I took it in this morning as he tried several different cables with the same results.
Aside from that, my phone "died" for about 25 minutes this morning while on a nearly full charge. I made one phone call, set the phone down and when I tried to use it again a few minutes later, it wouldn't power on. After those 25 minutes or so, it suddenly decided it felt like turning back on as it sat on my computer desk. I tried to swipe it to unlock, but it was unresponsive. I let it sit there for a few minutes and it finally swiped unlock on its own! Coming from a steaming pile of s*#t droid3, I suddenly started to experience deja vu. Could the iPhone 5 be as crappy as a droid? No way...it MUST be a lemon.
So I go it swapped out for a brand new one free of charge, and now I'm happy again.
I will chalk up my bad experience as just being unlucky with my first iPhone.
