Agreed; sounds like a non-issue to me. This is all very subjective and I think we have to rely on our instinct to a certain extent to decide whether to request service. I believe I have heard that there may have been certain issues with a couple initial batches of iPhone 5s, but am not totally sure.
Best thing to do as always if anyone is concerned is head to an Apple store or contact your carrier.
