4.3.3 update for Iphone 4

To anyone who can help me- Thanks in advance.  
I haven't updated my iphone 4 since 4.1.  I've been too apprehensive with all of the battery issues and other complaints (now it's SIM card problems with the new 4.3.3)  I deal with the few issues I have, even though they may be fixed with one of the newer updates, because they aren't terrible and I like my battery performance right now on 4.1.  My alarm clock doesn't work properly- it still goes off an hour early on recurring alarms; I still get "no sender" emails; and most importantly- I still have terrible reception without a case on my phone.  It's my understanding that Apple never fixed this antenna problem and they just said to use a case.  I'm very careful and I don't need to use a case but I guess I have no choice. 
My iphone 4 is only about 6 months old.  I'm not sure if it's under warranty but I know the "help" people at Apple tell me I'll have to pay to speak to someone. Wow.  Obviously I could go to the store nearest me but all I know is that if they replace my phone, I'll have the newest version of 4.3.3 or something close. My biggest concern is the antenna problem.  I use my phone as a phone.  Does anyone know if the new white phones have a different "fixed" antenna or are they just more of the same? 
Again, thanks for any help. 

The antenna issue was really blown out of proportion by the media - the vast majority of people have not experienced this issue. I don't use a case and i've not experienced any reception problems. If you are then it's probably worth contacting your carrier - maybe the reception where you live is the problem? By terrible reception, do you mean that only a few bars are displayed? If this is the case, and you are able to send/receive texts, make calls etc, then there isn't really an issue.
As for paying to speak to someone at an Apple Store, you don't. It's free to speak to a genius. You also get a 1 year warranty with your iPhone. If they swap your iPhone 4 for a new one then chances are it will have iOS 4.3.3 on it as they usually contain the latest version. AFAIK the White iPhone is the same as the black one, with the same antenna design. Even if it was fixed, they would not give you a white iPhone and they only do a like-for-like swap out.
I'm not sure what this new problem relating to the SIM cards is? My iPhone 4 came pre-installed with iOS 4.3.3 and i've not had any issues with it.

  • HT3939 is there an update for iPhone 4 A1332?

    is there an update for iPhone 4 A1332? It seems lately every ap I try to load requires a different system.

    The iPhone 4 can be upgraded to iOS 7.0.4.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • When is the next release/update for iPhone iOS.5 ? (concerning SIRI)?

    Hi,
    Given that Siri is in beta, when does Apple plan to update us with a proper version with the bugs ironed out?
    Are they going to remove the annoying design of Siri that requires an internet connection to ask it the local system time?
    If anyone has any news on this, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    H

  • When is the next update for iphone carrier setting?I cant change my carrier to 2g!!!There is only 3g or LTE available for me.

    when is the next update for iphone carrier setting?I cant change my carrier to 2g!!!There is only 3g or LTE available for me.

    Carrier Settings are dependent entirely on your carrier.  2G is old outdated and slow etc, most carriers are phasing out their 2G service. You would need to ask your carrier when they plan on releasing a new update.
    Why on earth do you want to set your iPhone to 2G?  It will automatically switch to 2G if 3G is not available, and 2G is found.

  • Phone call function for Ipad mini & iOS update for Iphone 4

    Hi,
    Why isn't apple doing phone call on the Ipad Mini. I understand being exclusive but i've been an apple user for over 2 years now and i like using apple products. I've notice samsung has incorporated these features in their Galaxy Tab 2. By doing so, Apple is loosing it's edge against its competitor. Hope that these funtion will be incorporated in the next iOS update.
    On another note, why isn't siri included in the iOS 6.0.1 update for iphone 4. I'm not sure why android based phone could enjoy each of the new features that they release and apple can't do the same. I can understand from a business point of view but it will also affect customer's satisfaction. Appreciate if the team could consider giving the same treatment to all the apple products in terms of it's software updates and new features. 
    I'm not sure if the team is aware that apple products cost a BOMB in Malaysia. For an Iphone5 16GB, it's retail price is at RM 2,199.00 ( not inclusive of call & data plan ). Taking the cheapest call + data package from a telco provider could be as much as RM100/month ( RM1,200.00 per year ). The rational of changing an iphone is not appealing because of the huge cost. 
    As such, apprecaite that apple could at least extend all new features in it's iOS releases to all apple products.
    Thanks,

    Hi Andrey,
    I think I have figured it out. It has to do with my iCloud account. After a lot of reasearch I found a bunch of people with the same problem, and the fix for now is to COMPLETELY DELETE your iCloud account. Simply turning everything off does not work. I immediately did this on my wife and my phones and everything went back to normal.
    It appears to be a bug, because mine was only supposed to be updating my "notes" which shouldnt take 30 megs a day. Hope they fix it soon.

    I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

    I think I solved the problem by initiating the update in a different way, from the itunes panel where I can click to start the update, instead of saying yes when asked if I want to update when itunes launches in response to the iphone being plugged into the computer.

  • When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

  • Can the iOS 5.0.1 update for iphone work on my ipod touch?

    Is was woundering if you could use the same iOS 5.0.1 update for iPhone on your iPod??

    No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch.  On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.

  • Why no 6.1.1 update for iPhone 5 ?

    So 6.1.1 is out for the iPhone 4S. Good I hope it works and sort out the issues those people are having. Now what about us iphone 5 users? Are we supposed to just swing for it? I sincerely hope Apple is working on a seperate update for this as I sure would like to use my mobile Internet again, that'd be swell. Public statements once in a while wouldn't hurt apple

    i have the same problem with cellular call... so where are waiting for the new update for iphone 5 to solve these problems.

  • I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back?

    I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back? Every time I see a change, I think the old version is better. Especially the phone and caps. Is it possible?

    Sorry... Apple does not support the Downgrading of iOS.

  • ANY UPDATES FOR IPHONE 4S to fix WIFI ISSUE

    ANY UPDATES TO FIX THE WIFI (UNABLE TO JOIN NETWORK) FOR IPHONE 4S? THERES A NEW OS FOR IPHONE5, WHY NOT BOTHER TO FIX THIS ISSUE FIRST???

    Ever since I upgraded my iphone4 to ios6 I can't get stable connection with home wifi. I am sitting less than 5 feets from the router. My iphone either cannot find the hotspot or getting very weak signal. And it's so weak it will break every two minutes. My ipad is running ios5 and it connects instantly. My ipad can find dozens of hotspots; my iphone can't even find my home wifi.
    Yes, I have tried every solution on the web, changing my router setting, reset network setting, recover to orginal settings.... NONE OF THEM WORKED. It is obvious a software problem. IOS6 does not support my router as it did in IOS5.
    Seriously, if Apple does not fix this problem, I'm gonna switch the system.

  • Why do i always get a message saying that the when trying to dowload the software update for iphone 4? it is a brand new handset and a clean install of itunes.

    i am trying to update my iphone 4 to the latest software version as promted on itunes and it gives me a timed out message. and an error code (err = 3259) it was downloading fine and then once it reached the end of the download it just stopped and gave me the error message. does anyone know why it would be doing this? i have only just recieved my iphone 4 today and i only installed itunes on my laptop which has never had itunes installed on previously.

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.
