Why apple does not provide iPhone 4 ability to use facetime using cellular/3G data?

Because you can't. That's why.
No one here can address any question as to "why" Apple made the decision they did. We do not represent Apple.
Speculation is prohibited by the TOU.
The fact is, you can't do it. If that's not acceptable, then buy a new phone.

    why apple does not provide the apps for free as samsung doing ??

    how the same app is for buy and in the other hand in android OS its free
    Free Android apps are generally stuffed full of adverts that drain 75% of the phone battery. See:
    http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/android-app-ads-account-for-up-to-75-percent- of-battery-drain/19168
    Would you prefer to pay $0.99 for an app or lose 75% of your battery life?

  • Why Apple does not provide for call block / blacklist function on iphone?

    If Apple frowns upon jailbreaking the iPhone, why not AT THE LEAST endorse and make available third-party application that can provide a decent call block / blacklist function (like the Call Blocker for BlackBerry)?
    Can an Apple representative provide feedback pls?
    [Most telcos do not provide call-screening as a value-add service. Even if they do, a more cost-effective method is still the better option.]

    Have you asked your service provider if they offer any call blocking service? I know here in the USA, AT&T does, although they do charge $4.99/month for the service (it is part of a parental control package that allows control of both numbers that can be blocked from calling you, and numbers that your iPhone can call to).
    On-phone black list apps typically work by using caller id info and looking it up against the apps own database of numbers you've entered. So your phone still rings at least once, as the phone needs to allow a brief connection for the app to get the caller id info before disconnecting a number flagged for blocking. There really is no way to truly block calls from the phone itself, you need your service provider to be on board with the idea, so they can dis-allow the call at the switch and truly block it from ever reaching your phone.

  • Why Apple did not provide Installation Disk in MacBook Pro Mac OS Lion 10.7?

    I want to reinstall my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion , I want to reinstall it without using Ethernet, Wi-fi, etc... I want to reinstall using a Installation Disk but there is no Installation Disk when I bought my MacBook Pro. Why Apple did not provide Installation Disk? It is better to have it. It is very useful. Right? I want to reinstall without using Ethernet. I want Installation Disk Mac OS X Lion! I ask price from Power Mac for upgrading . Php 1,500 .

  • I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8  Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  • So if Aperture does not provide the ability to burn photos to dvd/cd how do you go about doing that?

    So if Aperture does not provide the ability to burn photos to dvd/cd how do you go about doing that?

    Simply mount a disc in the drive, then in Aperture Export your versions to that location.  Later in the Finder, Burn.  No need for special function.

  • Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

    Why Apple does not support from Iran? And why not open a store in Iran?

    You think this is an injustice?
    I think that injustice relates to rights that are not honored or respected, and I think we can agree that in no circumstance, human, civil, political or legal, is having or owning an Apple ID, or any other consumer item, a right.
    Why should this happen? ...Iraq ... Afghanistan....
    I believe that Apple, and most American companies, would love to have access to every market in the world, and Iran certainly (or at least, potentially) represents a larger market for Apple products than many countries in which they do business. So, given the choice, they'd be there.

  • Why Apple does not ship the iPad/iPad2 with a simple calculator app?

    I just wonder what are the rationales, if any, behind the exclusion of a calculator app from iPad.

    None of us can tell you why apple does or doesn't do anything--we're just other users like you. But there are a number of decent free calculator apps you can get from the app store. I use Calculator XL.
    Before I retired one of the projects I worked on was the HP-41CX--I designed and programmed the logic board tester--so when I purchased my iPhone I was quite pleased to see that a very good emulator for the 41CX was available from the app store.
    Prior to finding the emulator I had tried several of the free calculators and found them all insufficient for one reason or another. Links to i41CX below.

  • Can anyone tell me why Apple does not sell a Bluetooth Headset that is compatible with the IPhone 6??  The Bluetooth 4.0 version that the 6 runs has been in place since 2010.

    No Bluetooth headsets are compatible with IPhone 6 series-

    I originally wrote this post to see if anyone else had come up with a solution to Apple's inability to engineer the Iphone 6 product line to be compliant with Bluetooth 4.0 that has been around for ONLY 5 years.  Since you want to talk about driving while talking let's look at your evidence.  1) When you consider that the Washington Post will not admit to the number of participants participating in the study they site makes the study in valid as you cannot tell if any conclusion is statistically valid.  The National Safety Council does not give what data it had or where it came from but is pure opinion- not factual. 2)  When you look at your second source from Forbes- did you realize that the person who wrote it is a CONTRIBUTOR with no scientific data to back his conlusions?  I happen to have be a licensed Insurance Agent for over 30 years.  The largest insurance companies (who pay the claims) have not been able to draw conclusions about talking and driving as the number of incidents per million miles (determines the rates charged for coverage) have not been statistically different enough to go to state insurance commissioners to ask for rate increases due to talking and driving at the same time.  The states that have enacted Hands Free Laws did so for 1 reason- if a person has 2 hands free to try to avoid an accident there is a higher probability that a driver will maintain control of their own vehicle vs. 1 hand.  Can we stick to the subject- Do you think that APPLE should have made the IPhone 6 Compatible with Bluetooth Headsets and why haven't they done so yet?

  • HT204387 Can anyone speak to why Apple will not allow iPhones to connect to Bluetooth enabled OBD-II readers for car diagnostics?

    Hi! I have been reading up on Bluetooth OBD-II readers that plug into the onboard diagnostic port of your car and connect to apps like Torque. However, the readers cannot connect to iStuff (iPhones, etc.) because Apple apparently does not support the necessary Bluetooth profile to enable this kind of connection. Does anyone know why? And, is there anyway we could change that? All Android phones connect no problem. Thanks!

    Apple doesn't share this information with us nor can we speculate about it.

  • Why apple does not help the scientific community?

    I see that everybody are asking the same question about the ability of writing superscript or subscript in word processors on ipad.
    The real question should be why such an expensive device does not meet the student and specially the scientific community. None of the program's used in ipad supports these most important features for any student. And I thin the reason would be the so itself since none of the program's have this feature. Therefore everyone just have to come up with different tricks to do the job that it should be so easy.

    You are not talking to Apple here, just users.

  • Apple does not provide IDVD, now how can i burn my slideshow?

    I am professional photographer, and i do not find a way to burn my slideshow

    DVDs are obsolete technology.  Period.
    I understand that you are preaching the gospel from Hollywood and Apple. I have friends in Hollywood they eagerly promote downloading and digital copies. Their ultimate goal is to "pay-per-view" for each device. They despise the entire concept of anyone having a physical copy of a complete movie.
    There's no disputing that with any valid information.
    I have lots of valid information, and I am disputing it.
    Just because DVDs are still on sale, that doesn't mean they're top-of-the-line. 
    Just because downloading and streaming is a newer technology does not mean that it benefits the consumer.   New does not equal better.
    It sounds like you're implying that physical media shouldn't be backed up.
    All media should be backed up if you are legally allowed to do so.   I own about 1700 DVDs (many of which are not available from Netflix, or iTunes.  NONE of these DVDs have EVER failed.   In my years of using computers I've had well over a dozen hard drives fail (and I buy good ones).  So I view DVDs as much more reliable.
    It would seem to me that backing up a digital copy is EASIER to maintain because you can highlight it, then click "duplicate."
    That may or may not be the case. Many digital copies are “locked” to a particular device or set of devices. On the other hand, DVDs can be lent, given away and even sold if you wish. I don't think there's any way to resell a digital copy that you no longer want.
    Has the PC patrol already edited it before you buy it on disc?
    Your point is valid. That's where eBay comes in handy.  If you're after an original version of the movie. As mentioned above you can't buy a used digital movie. 
    Get past the obligatory FBI warning.  Sometimes there are previews that can't be skipped.
    I hate all that to. Some of the digital copies I have purchased start with the same hassles, with no way to skip over them.  I'm sure you know that you can purchase a DVD player with UOPs  (User Operation Prohibited)  disabled. With these players you can instantly navigate a DVD.
    Just to nit-pick, DVDs, CDs, and even BluRay's are digital.  They're no less digital than a file on a computer's hard drive.
    You are completely right of course. I'm falling victim to Hollywood terminology “digital copy included”. Your standard DVD is also a digital copy.
    I have no objection whatsoever to your preferred method of collecting movies.  I prefer physical optical discs (DVDs). Hollywood can make a LOT more money with the elimination of DVDs, which is why they are pushing it so hard.

  • I would like to ask why apple does not support Whatsapp for Ipad

    Dear All,
    As a relatively new apple user, i find it difficult to understand as to why apple doesnt support whatsapp for ipad. I am mostly on the go and carry my ipad for business purpose, and as you know, these days social networking is an intergral part of our lives, i find it perplexing as to why ipad doesnt support whatsapp. Almost all of my collegue's and friend are using this, it becomes increasingly diffcult to multitask between a phone and an ipad.
    Could Apple kindly make it available for users. It would be really convinient, especially for people in the age group 50+ who would like to be in touch with their families regularly.
    Regards
    Bala

    Whatsapp is meant for phones, authenticated via the voice carrier link. That's what the developer (nowadays Facebook, who bought the company) decided to do with their app. Hacking that design sounds dangerously against the TOU for discussion in these forums.
    You can always search in other message boards outside Apple's regulations for what you want. Regardless, you will need an iPhone to authenticate and activate you Whatsapp account.
