Can Apple make it so texting is disabled when driving?

The iPhone has GPS. Isn't this a simple application? At least make it a selectable option in iOS.

How is the phone going to know the difference if you are the driver or the passenger? How is it to know you are not riding on a train or in a bus? I understand where you are coming from, but I guess if you put a restriction in the phone, like the restrictions that you can place now on certain applications, there is always an exception, as I listed above. And do you think that someone that has access to the restriction so it can be turned off and on, depending on like I said, driver or passenger, couldn't they just as easily turn it off?
You logic is comendable, however this is a case of resposibility, not adding restrictions to the device.

  • Can Apple make an app or an update that makes you insert your password to turn your phone off? This can help deal with theft of iPhones because people take or find a iPhone, the first thing they do is turn the phone off.

    They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.

    Not sure this is a very useful thing.  It would run down the battery.  All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked.

  • Can Apple Make iOS 7.1 shut down proof?

    Can Apple make the iOS 7 lock screen shut down proof? Meaning they can't hard reset or shut the phone down?

    Doing so would undoubtedly mean that it would fail standard regulatory safety testing. Could they do it? Sure. If they did, they would not be able to sell them in most of the world.
    That would also mean that if anything ever went wrong, and you had to re-boot your phone because it locked up, you would have to make an appointment at the genius bar of an Apple Store and take it in for them to re-boot it, or ship it to Apple so they can re-boot it.  Since it's illegal to ship active RUNNING electronics in many if not most places, that means you might have to get on a plane to go somewhere where there's an Apple store so they can re-boot your phone. Oh... wait... you can't do that either because you're not allowed to have a powered on cell phone on a plane.

  • HT4528 I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls me it comes up as unknown but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a carrier issue or is this my device?

    I just bought a new 4s and I can't send or receive texts. Also when anyone calls it comes up as "unknown" but I transferred all my contacts. Is this a device issue or a carrier problem?? I've tried everything. Reset the network and some a hard reset but no changes.

    I believe the root cause is IOS5.01. same problem on my iphone4s with IOS5.01. Now I have a expensive I-touch!  wake up steve.............. I suggest you change your sim cark from 64k to 128k. or just waiting next generation IOS.

  • Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

    Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top 

  • How can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

  • How can I make the menu text in Elements 11 larger?

    I am having trouble reading the menu text in Elements 11 that I juat purchased.  I have found that with many programs there is a way to enlarge the menu text, but so far I have not been able to find a way to make the menu text large enough for me to read unless I am about 1' away from the screen which I am sure you can imagine is not reasonable or acceptible.

    Sorry to say but enlarging menu text is not possible in photoshop elements. You can try adjusting resolution to a lower value so that the menu text becomes a bit bigger.

  • Droid X can't make/receive calls/texts from home

    I've been experiencing problems with my phone for about 2 days now. I can't use it to make calls or texts and I don't get any from anyone either. If I literally drive 2 miles down the road, the phone works. I've tried to reset it using *228 and update the roaming settings. I've taken the battery out while the phone is on, and even manually powered it down, but nothing works. The phone shows I have full signal strength until I actually make a call, then the bars disappear and the call never connects. The same thing happens when I try to send a text; it just never sends. I can connect to the internet, so there's no problems there. I appreciate any help.

    Hello chinesesnowplow
    Wow! That's very upsetting not being able to call or text from your home. Let's get to the bottom of this immediately.
    Are you still experiencing the issue? Are there any other devices having this same problem in your home? Did this start after a particular application was downloaded? Please place the device in airplane mode. Go to Menu> Settings> Wireless & network settings> then check mark airplane mode until the signal changes. Then uncheck airplane mode and retest.
    Please let me know if this helps, if not I would be glad to further troubleshoot with you.
    Thank you
