Just Given an IPhone, Should I return It and Wait?
Hey All,
I just unexpectedly received the 16GB IPhone as a gift last night, and have not opened it yet. The reason why is I am tempted to wait until June when Apple may unveil the new version. Does anyone have any insight as to whether a new version will show up and if it will be worth the wait?
Considering I've waited this long, I'd hate to invest in the current model two months before something superior is released. On the other hand though, I find it hard to believe that Apple would leave the current generation of IPhone users in the dust.
Additionally, anyone have any leads on a price if a new model is released?
Just looking for some good advice for my current situation. I have 12 days to make a decision =)
We don't know if Apple will offer an upgrade path, but probably not. There's a lot less to 3G than meets the eye; see http://blackfriarsinc.com/blog/2007/10/why-edge-versus-3g-less-than-you-think. There have been some tests published comparing EDGE and 3G performance on smartphones, and they generally confirm the Blackfriar's blog. 3G is faster, but not by as much as the overall throughput difference imply. Depending on the site, the iPhone on EDGE was the same speed as 3G for some sites, slightly slower for some, and worst case took twice as long to display the site. This last case was 1 minute for 3G and 2 minutes for EDGE - which is much more a site problem than a phone problem. One minute is already unacceptable, and, to me at least, shows that the site isn't practical from a phone.

I have just upgraded my iPhone 4S to OS6.1 and now I cannot link or connect to the App Store, any ideas?
To do this your device should be firstly connected to computer and iTunes is open. Put your device into dfu mode: 1.turn off your device 2.press and hold power and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds and release power and keep holding home until iTunes says a device in recovery mode. now should be able to restore.

So I just updated my iphone 4S to iOS 6 and was having fun trying the panorama pictures, and all of the sudden my phone turned off (it was fully charged so it's not out of batery and it felt warm) and it has since not turned on again. Suggestions?
Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality. -
I was given an iPhone 4 from a friend and I was trying to reset it to factory settings but it won't let me. It's keeps popping up with a box to put in my friends iCloud account password in but I don't know it. How can i delete their iCloud account without knowing their password?
You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.
Best of luck,

Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card. -

I just upgraded my IPhone to IOS 7.1 and now the speech to text function and Siri doesn't work
The microphone icon is white not grey
And when I hit it it only stays on for a split second
Not long enough to dictate a message
It worked fine before upgrade
And works on IPad which I also just upgraded
Help??There are many, many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

Hi. I just got the iPhone 6, plugged into itunes and made the mistake of putting an OLD back up on my new phone resulting in losing all contacts after 2013. They are not saved on the cloud. Is there any way to go back to before I screwed up?
If you have performed a sync with the device since you restored this old backup, then don't bother looking for another backup. iTunes writes over the last backup each time you sync. If you were handling contacts in iCloud, you would find them by logging into iCloud. Or you can check settings and iCloud and see if the button it on for Contacts. Otherwise it might have been on the computer, if you had a program that syncs with iTunes and handles contacts, depending on the computer system you use. If Windows, it would be Windows Contacts or Outlook. If a Mac, there is a Mac Address book as well.

I've just upgraded my iPhone from ios3 to ios6 and it has taken my phone back in time. My most recent photos and messages are dated from a year ago. My music is fine, just messages and photos are gone. HELP?
Restore the device using the most recent backup.
If you have not backed up the device recently, then there is nothing to restore. -
Help......I just synchronised my iphone 4 with my laptop and i now have no contacts on my phone....it scrubbed the lot (thousands!)....how do I get them back!!
i have seen a lot of people do this when they impatiently disconnect the iphone before completing and update.
Simple restore the iphone from your last back up.
right click on the device in iTunes and select restore from backup. -
just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password.
If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
http://iforgot.apple.com
If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.

What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one?
If the problem persits after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem. In that case an appointment at the Genius Bar of an apple store or returing it to Apple is in order.

I bought my 5s yesterday (oct. 17) and when I go to the App Store it wants to charge me between $4.99 & $9.99 for any iWork or other apple apps - why is this? I thought they we're suppose to be free for new devices purchased after sept. 1?
