I don't even turn off the phone except when I want to do a hard reset. Do we really need voice control to do so?
Apple have never really been one to give excess options and let users choose. They tend to give us what they deem is necessary.

ok thx
I was just about to post about this too, this has happened to my gf's 3GS over the last day or so too :\ That's a pretty fucking worrying issue to have with them.
My old iPod touch had the same thing happen to it, but instead of having the back shoot out, the metal curves that go to the screen bent out and the screen was pushed out a bit.

so you got unlucky and you're mad at apple? Could have happened with any phone. It sucks but other companies won't even give you new ones for 200.
Also like said above, you shouldn't have to pay at all if you recently got it, just go to an apple store. They usually understand. Unless it's old as hell.
My 20 year old car wouldn't start for me this morning, I'm fucking done with Ford.
It's been more than 12 months. This is the first Apple product I ever owned, idc how long you owned your Ford --_-- at least you had 20 years. I only had 14 months, the updates screwed something up. Gave them a shot, they blew it.. my money down the drain...

after owning the phone for a year, getting a new device for 200 is still better service than you'll get anywhere else if your phone messed up. you got unlucky mang.
everyone's looking for someone to blame.
but, honestly, if you need to point a finger, Apple is to blame for selling a product that stopped working after an unreasonably short period of time. sorry it didn't work out for you.
Well, you are out of warranty. At least, Apple is willing to give you another phone for $200. As to the update screwing something, if it was the case, it would be all over the net. More likely, the hardware was already failing.
What did you expect from one year manufacturer warranty? How sure are you that the issues were due to the update?

Yes. I think it's totally reasonable to blame apple.
I'd still like to know exactly what's wrong. I severely doubt an update did it, although its possible that an update brought the problem to light (for example the phone gas a problem and can never boot from cold, which you face never done until the update).
But yeah, unlucky. It's not money down the drain, however. You had 14 months! Did you like the phone during that time? If not then maybe you did lose the money.
I still boggle a little at the cost though. I know money is money, but my phone cost US$1100. If it goes out of warranty and fails and apple let me gave a new one for $200, I'd be ecstatic.
What happened to the phone? If it's a hardware failure straight-up that isn't the result of a drop or water damage, Apple tends to flat out replace your device.
This, you should call in and see what they say. You might be surprised.
Ok, I have a possibly stupid question. Say I have an old iphone, which I sync with an old PC. I am planning to buy a new laptop and iphone. If I login with my apple ID to the new phone, and then download apps from icloud will it download with all settings/files as they are on the other phone? Or just the same as if they were downloaded fresh from the app store?
The thing is I have certain files/images saved in some of my iphone apps, and was wondering if I'd have to do some complicated transfer, or if icloud might prove useful for carrying over to my new iphone, skipping over both the old and new computers.

Seems like the guy is pretty dead set on hating Apple and just wants to give up on them at this point.
Meanwhile in Europe Apple is required to give two year warranty :/
Settings and saves aren't synced via iCloud unless specifically programmed for it by the app.
If you login and download apps, they'll be as new.
If you backup via iCloud, this DOES includes saves and settings for the apps, so if you choose to restore a new phone from your old iCloud backup, then it will just like your old phone (it will actually automatically redownload the apps you had in the later part of the restore.
Blame yourself for listening to unknown people from the Internet.
Hey, sorry for being off topic. Can't find the 4S thread.
I have had my iPhone 4S for 9 months now, and earlier this week a green pixel has popped up on the bottom right... It's noticeable when on a black layout, hardly noticeable on white, etc.
It's been bugging me a lot as I keep looking at, and if I were to sell the phone, I don't want a complaint about the dead/stuck pixel.
The phone is still under warranty, but would Apple bother with a small green dead/stuck pixel? Any point me going in store? Or is it possible to fix it myself?
Can it get worse?
Thanks

If it's still under warranty you can definitely try the Apple store, they are really helpful.
Alright, cool. Thanks for the speedy response, appreciate it.
In the App Store on the Features tab. Go all the way down till you see "Essential App Collection". There you will see the best and recommended apps.
Adding to what ecurbj said, this thread has some good general suggestions too.
Congrats dude, it truly is a great device.
My app has the chat heads
I still don't have chat heads either. It might be a feature they are rolling out per user? I haven't updated to the new version released today though.
Do that and then report back. They added the feature today with the update and they advertise the chat head feature on your News Feed.

The update did the trick for me. Try it.
They've said it has been in the iPhone app for the past few updates, but I never saw it. Granted I don't use messages much.
They did say when they released it, it would happen over the next couple weeks.

Would buying an iPhone 5 now be stupid? Maybe offload it when the 5s comes out? I'm not sure how much they go for off contract
I mean, it'll be at least 2 months and up to 4.5 months before the new release.
