From AppleInsider:
An increasing number of iPhone 5 owners are reporting scuffs and other signs of damage to their newly-purchased smartphones right out of the box, with some miffed customers taking to the web in what is being dubbed “scuffgate.”
Update: iFixit has posted a video testing the “scuffability” of the black and slate iPhone 5 versus the last generation iPhone 4S. The test does not reflect normal day use, however it does appear that Apple’s newest device is more easily damaged by other metal objects.
Seems like the golden idol has feet of clay. Maybe that’s why they want that extra 707 million from Samsung — to buy buffing compound and touch up paint.
