Should i go ahead and get the iphone 3gs or should i wait
i want to get one but all the talk about the screen problems and the heat problems is scaring me away...should i just take my chances or should i wait
Ditto what everyone else has responded. Also, you shouldn't go by what you read here. Most of what you read here will be complaints about hardware, software issues, etc. People that don't have issues are not represented well here only because, why post on a support forum when you have no problems?
Anyway, take what you read here with a grain of salt. But like another poster said, if you wait until ALL the bugs are taken care of, you're gonna be waiting a long time. I love my iPhone. I'm thankful and lucky that I haven't experienced the issues most people on here have been experiencing. I've had an iPhone since the first generation and have been blessed with good iPhones. But then again, I think the majority of the iPhone consumers have as well.

curious about the iOS 5 software that is coming out. If I wait til its release to buy my iPhone 4 will it come with the iOS5 software already on it? or should I go ahead and buy my iPhone 4 and then update the software when the iOS5 is released?

Yea I would have to say wait until the release of IOS 5, because the phone will probably run it a lot smoother. I mean go ahead and buy the Iphone 4 if you are dying to have it, because you can just update it which is no big deal at all, but it would be the smarter thing to wait for the new updates.
And the networ issue as far as I am aware is fixed on the Verizon iPhones, so it really depends on which service you have.
- correct me if i am wrong
Have to disagree here, Apple have not even announced an iphone 5, it is pointless to speculate that we will see one or not see one until Apple actually releases a statement. ios was built and tested on the iphone 4 so there will not be any slowdown or laggyness compared to a phone that has not been released yet.
If we are advising potential apple product buyers then we should not be putting them off buying a iphone 4 on speculations alone. Just because apple have for the last few years released an iphone every june/july does not mean then have to stick to this approach.
Apple have not issued any statement regarding an iphone 5, until this time it does not exist, only in heresay on the internet.
Any one looking to get an iphone 4, to you i would say waiting until ios 5 is released is a personal choice, no matter if you wait or not you will be able to update via itunes. One way or another in the future you will have to do an ios update via itunes whether this is the 5.0 software or 5,2,1.
Please note that Apple are very closed mouthed about new hardware releases and potentially a new iphone could be round the corner, however there is no evidence to suggerst this, i.e Apple have not even mentioned an iphone 5 this year anything you hear towards the contrary is media spin thus far and speculation.
ios 5 was built and tested to work seamlessly on iphone 4, the beta software released to developers is being tested on iphone 4. Please do not listen to people telling you that the iphone 4 will not run this ios as well as a phone that does not exist yet. When iphone 5 launches it will most likely have dual processors and not until its launch will the next gen apps start appearing. -

if i want to give in my iphone 4s 16gb and get the iphone 6 16gb how much would it be? or how much credit would i get forgiving in my iphone 4s?
You need to ask your carrier this question. Many of them are offering some decent trade in deals, but it varies from carrier to carrier.

Is it possible to get the iPhone 3Gs from Malaysia
Hei,
Im a foreigner living in Malaysia, doing my degree. And i've been trying to buy an iPhone 3Gs from Maxis for such a long time but have failed,
They are saying that it is sold only for postpaid customers and only locals can become one.
The apple distributor here doesn't sell the product and only contracts it,
How am i going to get the iPhone 3Gs from Malaysia?
Thanks in advance for the responseno

First off, a few important details must be noted.
1. My credit is bad to the point at which I cannot possibly qualify for a phone contract.
2. I cannot afford the retail price of newer models of the iPhone.
3. I am looking for unlocked phones.
That said, I've been looking at the iPhone 3GS offered at H2O Wireless. $40 a month, unlimited talk & text. The phone would be $199, and include a SIM card and a $50 card.
But, is the iPhone 3GS still worth it? Would I be better of buying a different unlocked phone for $199 and using it with H2O?If your credit is PAST down the toilet. You're better off getting a prepaid regular cellphone. However, The 3gs is easier to get fix(Like the broken screen) and cheaper to replace. Go to "Gamestop", you can get it cheaper($139.99, on sale 25% off right now) and you can still use the H2O Wireless. And you can use "Skype " on it.

Settins > General > Reset and then Erase all content and settings. Then during setup assistant click restore from icloud backup

My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.
You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?
If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps! -
I have the original iPhone and I can't sync the address book from my Mac to the iPhone. What should be the problem and can I sync?
Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos? -

I have an 16GB iPhone 3GS. I want the iPhone 4 because of all of it's cool features. Should I upgrade? I'm due for an upgrade on 2/09/11, but i don't know if i should spend about $650 in total (Current amount for iPhone 3GS) or should I just upgrade in 2011. Also since Apple kept the same design for 2 years, what if they do it again and i get the 2011 version and then the 2012 version is all redesigned, then I would probably want that one. What should I do? Do you think At&t would give me an early upgrade option?
Come-on...you're an Apple customer. You ought to be used to buying an Apple product and several months later (a couple of years if you're lucky) they come out with a new "market blow away" product or a terrific new model of yours. That's the Apple way! Get used to it.
There are many out there just like the Chinese who must have the latest and greatest item on the market as soon as it's available and that includes a lot of Apple customers. That's why we love Apple. They come out with a new product and by the time the rest of the market starts to catch up a couple of years later, the new product comes out and the process starts all over again.
If you want it...get it. There are just so many smiles left in life.
Good luck with that new iPhone 4!

I have been looking at getting the Iphone 3g over the past couple of weeks. What I really want is an unbiased opinion. I know it may have some trouble with 3G. And I know it may have a few minor software gliches(which I am pretty sure Apple will fix).
Also which should I get the 16gb or the 8gb version.
ThanksA lot of "depends" type questions...
personally, I say yes. Ultimately depends on how you wish to use the phone?
3G: Call AT&T Customer Svc and have them verify the level of 3G network support in your local area, or your frequented business or otherwise travel locations are. Just because they show you being in "blue" 3G zone, doesn't mean your signal strength will be as strong as another "blue" area 4-miles away. My 3G signal vacillates from No Svc to two bars from minute to minute standing in the same spot. The more users on 3G network will slow your download speed.
BATTERY: No complaints here based on my regulated use of 3G, PUSH; Locate Me; Wi-Fi usage; send and receive emails/SMS messages, GPS and internet access. First 24-hours I owned the field I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with all the features and I ended up with 19-hours battery time. Since then I avg 24- 48 hours before recharging.
My Personal usage: I use my 3G as a "tool", only using features as required. I work a lot from my home office; therefore, don't require PUSH for email/SMS since I have my laptop and local ISP for internet and email access. Being at home and when traveling in the local area I "know where I am for the most part" so GPS is not required. Having my business phone there, most of my calls are on it and not my iPhone unless I receive a call from a colleague or family member on my iPhone. I do leave my BlueTooth turned on at least 8-hours a day even in my home office. I turn PUSH on when I am expecting important emails from clients or colleagues when away from my home office which is at least 1-hr per day... when I am not expecting anything of importance and away from my office, I leave it on FETCH at 15-30 min intervals since there is nothing that important that can't wait and if it is, they can call me to get my attention. I use my camera on occasion (twice in two weeks I think... and have rare needs for video capabilities). Sending pix via SMS or txt can be convenient at times, but depends on the priority and urgency you put into sending this to someone who may not even have their wireless device turned on or close by? I also have not experienced the same concerns as others on this Discussion site.. but their user scenarios may significantly differ from mine. I don't use Micro Soft Exchange server, nor Mobile Me... since my syncs etc can wait until I get to my MacBook Pro and flip on iTunes. I purchased the 16Gig and glad I did. I do have around 200-tunes on it and maybe keep 2-3 movies on it. I listen to my iTunes a couple hours a day on average and talk time is 2.5 to 3.5 hr's a day. I was at the airport two days ago and jumped on their Wi-Fi to jump on the internet to track a colleagues flight coming in and checking news and had my 3G on PUSH for emails for a couple of hours and barely noticed a drain on my battery. Again, I use it as a tool for those features I need at the time and glad I had my 3G. A guy next to me had his BlackBerry open to the web and he glanced over to see the rich HTML download I had on Flight Aware and commented on how he wished he had the robustness of the 3G. On the flip side, the iPhone isn't perfect when it comes to Business usage on a regular basis. It meets my needs and if I want, I can use my company's MS Exchange server, etc... or even Mobile.Me... I just choose not to at this time. I did come over from Verizon Wireless... and I am not convinced AT&T's network (EDGE or 3G) is as reliable. I have had 4-dropped calls in area's I have never had issues with in 7-yr's with Verizon... but AT&T so far have been very good about credits. If this continues on a regular basis before my 30-days ends, I may have to consider returning to Verizon? 3G is still being rolled-out, so I am hoping its coverage and network tools improve to handle the additional user volume's. I don't care which phone you use on 3G, it will still have the same issues and burn battery life quickly if you choose to live on 3G... surf the net or use GPS to go to local grocery store, etc. It isn't a toy, its a tool to be used when you need it.
