Did you try searching this forum using the keyword rattle? Several threads

 

[iPhone 62S]

It's the autofocus, the rattle is perfectly normal.

oops didn't search
sorry!

but i am shaking it ever so slightly right now when its on standby and still rattles!

You have to ask yourself if it effects the function of the phone in any way. If it does then the issue needs to be adressed but if not and until it does, perhaps you can ignore it.

Its the accelorometer i believe. If that is how you spell it?

And yet you still didn't search before you posted this one.

No, and no..

Shake with mute on, then off, often it's the button rattling.

Mine rattles also. It is the vibrate/ringer switch, however, it's Nothing to worry about!

The actual moving parts of the accelerometer are so small that they're not going to make any noise that a human ear will be able to hear.


It's the autofocus lenses in the camera.

No rattle, unless it is in mute/silence.

It's the weight from the vibrate motor. It's normal.

This thread was answered and dead all ready. No need to bump it with incorrect information.

I have a 3GS and nothing rattles if I shake it.

Your phone is clearly broken then.

Wow.. relax dude.
This is an iPhone forum, people are going to make posts that have already been discussed. Deal with it.

I am so friggin tired of people who can not compose a title relevant and accurate to their thread. And of people who yell HELP for a physical defect in their phone. How are we supposed to HELP?

Come to think of it, I'm just tired of people.

Oh no, I'm curmudgeonly 7 days a week.

The rattling sounds are probably the dead corpses of the 2 rats which they installed inside to run the OS faster...hence the 3g "S".
