Daniel, Thanks for letting me know that information! I really appreciate it. Wow even on the iPhone 5 that happens! I guess it's a small moving part and they are bound to wear out. Interesting that Apple tests their phones and the carriers don't. I got my phone from AT&T.
Will let you all know what happens, but I expect smooth sailing. And yes,I've backed up my phone to the iCloud therefore everything should come back, correct? I wonder if my bookshare books will or if I'll have to redownload those?
