MCU Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'll be waiting for the 6. Another utterly pointless upgrade cycle. Same. 4S is doing me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Finally upgraded my 3GS after 50 months. Now have a 4S. Felt better than the 5/5S and I'm not a massive user of it now so the 4S is more than enough for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Had my 4 for over 3 years. Will not be upgrading until it stops working completely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I remember when I loved my IPhone, genuinely can't think of a reason to get one now. Strange how times change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 My 3GS was purchased in 2010, the speaker stopped working a while back, now the headphone jack is faulty. I won't get a new phone, I was offered one when the original contract expired but I'll keep this phone until it completely packs in. It's served me well, having had a huge amount of use, as it's been used for all my web surfing after my laptop died a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Does anybody else get 'charging is not supported with this accessory'. I'm getting it more and more. Is this an iOS piss take, trying to get people to buy the official overpriced apple sweatshop charging cable as opposed to a cheap as chips eBay imitation sweatshop charging cable?

Dodgyknees Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It's them trying to make you buy the official equipment. My partner had to try a few different non-official chargers to find one that works. Well done Apple... overpriced phones and trying to rip people off with extras.

Xela Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I remember when I loved my IPhone, genuinely can't think of a reason to get one now. Strange how times change. They're still very good phones. Excellently made and good at what they do. As long as you accept the limitations then they are great. It's them trying to make you buy the official equipment. My partner had to try a few different non-official chargers to find one that works. Well done Apple... overpriced phones and trying to rip people off with extras. I think its more likely dust in the charging point on the phone. I've used non official chargers for 5 years with no issues. Overpriced? Possibly but you get it back at resale.

Dodgyknees Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 She has had the same issue with the Ipad too.. also as soon as she updated to IOS7 she got the warning on two out of the three she has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 So I've the iPad Mini with Retina display, very nice screen, though the device is heavy, noticeably heavier than the other iPad mini. Also the Racing Post iPad app which I bought this device for is excellent. But by lord iOS is diabolical. Why is there no back button? Seriously it's a nightmare to navigate around.

Correct I usually have to press it several times on my S3 Horses for courses but I find iOS far easier to use and navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think we reached the point a while ago (probably 18 months or more) where the biggest complaint users of one OS could throw at the other is "I'm not used to it" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I think we reached the point a while ago (probably 18 months or more) where the biggest complaint users of one OS could throw at the other is "I'm not used to it" I think that iOS has caught up a lot of ground to android for features and android has caught up with iOS for touch response so there's not a load between them now. But I think iOS is still a bit limited with the sharing mechanism and the restrictions for the sake of it. Also as there's still not a lot between the operating systems themselves, with apple you're then having to deal with their lock in and other restrictive things such as being forced to use iTunes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Just read the first few pages of this thread. I liked it when someone posted about a new thing called apps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an iOS piss take, trying to get people to buy the official overpriced apple sweatshop charging cable as opposed to a cheap as chips eBay imitation sweatshop charging cable? Mine started to do that and then totally died on itself. The logic board had completely packed up. I had to buy an out of warranty replacement for £120. Saying that, however, it's more likely to be as Xela suggested and just be some dust in the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah, I've been deliberating whether it's a dirty connection or the 'cheap' cables. I'm sure I remember apple saying they were trying to crack down on that, on the basis of them not being safe?? So whether there is a technical way they can do that by stopping the phone accepting them or not had me wondering. It might be that, it might be dust, it might be something more fatal, but at the moment it's intermittent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah. I don't approve of sweatshop cheap buying. But the official stuff is expensive sweatshop. So I opt for what I perceive as the lesser of the two evils. How can you get away from it? It's a **** up world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
