Why do Apple not support bluetooth?

Why do Apple not support basic bluetooth profiles?
Why can I not use BT file sharing with my PC? Why can I not use generic HID on PC?
All other smartphones on the market support this.
Do Apple not want PC customers?

And the processor limitations.
iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

Why does Apple not support GiffGaff?

GiffGaff allow you to tether and use your standard data allowance, but Apple don't even recognize GiffGaff as a network - so you can't enable any kind of tethering. The only workaround appears to be to jailbreak your phone. Why does Apple not support this network?

Nobody here would know that.

Why does Apple not support the rSAP - Remote SIM Access Profile - for connection to car handsfree via Bluetooth

Hello community,
I just ordered a new car and it comes with a bluetooth based handsfree installation based on rSAP (remote SIM access profile). I learned that rSAP is the ideal thing to eliminate the unwanted radiofrequency radiation (RFR) inside the car. Now while googleing I also learned that iPhone on iOS does not support rSAP.
I would like to point to the following page which shows some more detailed information on the rSAP topic:
http://paulroberts69.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/android-2-2-and-rsap-compatibility /
I find rSAP a very usefuly thing, if it really brings the GSM radiation level down inside the car and allows the full use of all GSM functions by the rSAP premium handsfree kit built into the car. I absolutely do not understand why it is not already available with iOS.
From several web sources I understand that rSAP is available for jailbroken iPhones. That means, the chips inside the iPhone would support a rSAP service. Therefore my question: will it become available with iOS 6?
Or do all the folks at Apple drive old cars/brands and don't even think of the rSAP feature? Can we somehow start to get a hearing by the Apple developers? According to my knowledge, rSAP is implemented with all premium handsfree factory units of the VW brands - Audi, VW, Skoda ... This should make a relevant user base!
Any others with same wish and/or experiences? Comment here please!
Regards,
Olaf

Hi Meg,
could be several things:
1. they forgot?
2. none of their team members drives any VW branded car?
3. nobody cares about the radiation inside the car?
4. all have plugin holders for the iPhone?
I am just surprised that rSAP is offered by a premium car maker, but Apple seems ignorant about its support.
I am mostly concerned about the radiation when I use regular hands free. But I do understand that rSAP also has some limitations (only access to SIM contacts and other things, Wikipedia DE has a good full report, Wikipedia EN is much shorter).
Regards,
Olaf

Why does Apple not support syncing Entourage Notes and Tasks with the iPhone?

I'd like to know why Apply syncing does not support notes and task syncing with the iPhone. It used to when I had a Balckberry and used a third party sync app.
I bought the iPhone (4S) thinking that syncing would be smoother and have less problems than I was having with the Blackberry and third party sync software. Are there any plans to support this?

Normally I run OS X, but on a whim I tested iCloud on Windows and was able to get Outlook to read and create Notes. It supposedly supports Tasks too, but I can't figure out how to use Outlook.
I suggest reposting your question to the iCloud for PC forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_pc
or the iCloud for iOS forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_ios_device

Why does Apple not support Java Runtime Environment?

I am a U.S. Armed Forces Service Member, and I have ran into this problem so many times along with millions of other people, and I would like to ask Apple why don't you support JRE? My job requires me to use websites that is designed for government use to run on Java. I travel a lot, and I work on the go; I love using my apple products such as the IPad, but when it comes down the sites that I must use, I can't. It is very frustrating and impossible to get the job done without accessing these sites. Apple, you would get so much more support/business if you would allow your faithful followers to have access to Java. Specifically JRE 1.5+. I still do not understand the reason why Apple has consistently refuse to work with Java based application. Apple, please swallow your pride and give your supporter something to keep going with. Thank you.

U.S. Navy Service Member.

One take on it here:
http://www.codenameone.com/3/post/2013/01/why-oracle-wont-issue-java-for-ios-any time-soon.html
As James said, you can comment to Apple, but given the many serious security problems that have and continue to be discovered in Java, the chance of Apple implementing or allowing a Java engine in iOS is vanishingly small.
Expanding on what Phil said, there is at least one app/service combination, VirtualChrome, which says it supports Java. But you could achieve the same result with probably more control over security by just taking control of a desktop system running Java.

Why does Apple not support Firefox?

When I tried to contact Apple support they told me my browser is not supported!
I am using Firefox 10.0.2.
Is this not the latest version?

You can get a more uptodate browser.
TenFourFox -- It's a port of the latest FireFox to run on older hardware and software.

Turn on pipelining. This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server. Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

Why Has Apple Not Fixed Bluetooth!!!!!!!!!

I know this has been discussed over and over again but all I wish to do is connect my iPhone 4S to any other Bluetooth device PC, MAC, handset ect this can’t be that hard its only Bluetooth every other handset set I’ve had never had an issue so why Apple!!!!!!!!! I love the iPhone and was a devoted Android user till not long ago thinking of going back as I need Bluetooth. Sad that such a technologically advanced company has not fixed this small issue.

"Apple should build in this feature into the iPhone"
You can leave feedback for Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback
" i cant understand why they havent "
You do not need to understand it. Apple has made the decision. Your understanding has nothing to do with it.
Leave feedback for Apple. There is nothing more you can do.

Why does Apple not support prepaid phone service?

I was wanting to ask someone from Apple this directly. I have a prepaid phone from ATT and they said that the way that Apple sends data doesn't support the prepaid service. I was just wondering why they did that? If it was intentional? And if that will change any time soon or in the future?

Then you're in the wrong place.
FWIW, I think it is supported, but not sure.

Why is Apple not supporting Firewire on the new Video 60g or the Nano

Does anyone know if there is a way to enable Firewire support on the new Video IPod or NANO. I cannot believe that Apple has released this product with only USB support. I am at 1 hr to upload 1000 songs out of 9000. Absurd.
Is there an update or a way around this.

I'm a big fan of Firewire myself but I guess it's just a lot easier to switch over to USB 2.0 as the standard.
You're using USB 1.1, that's why your transfer rate is so slow.
Do yourself an enormous favor and set your iPod to Manage Manually in iPod Options to avoid accidentally Auto Updating your iPod with USB 1.1

HT4759 WHy does Apple not support iCloud bookmarks for 64bit firefox?

I use 'Nightly' the "unofficial" official 64 bit version of firefox and the iCloud bookmarks plugin is not compatible. Why is this unsupported?

Follow these steps to fix the issue...
Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/icloud-bookmarks/
Right-click on "+ Add to Firefox" and select "Save Link As..."
Save the file to your desktop
Rename the file to add the .zip extension (eg icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi.zip)
Open the zip file
Extract the install.rdf file and open it with notepad
Remove the whole following line to allow it to work in a 64bit browser
<em:targetPlatform>WINNT_x86-msvc</em:targetPlatform>
Change the following line from...
<em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion>
to something like...
<em:maxVersion>99.*</em:maxVersion>
Save the file, and update the zip file with the one we just fixed
Delete the META-INF folder, otherwise during installation it will detect install.rdf has been modified
Rename the file back to .xpi (eg icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi)
Open this file with Firefox, it should install the addon fine now
Open the iCloud Control Panel settings, and enable Firefox bookmark syncing.
If you don't want to do this yourself, I've made the file available to download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rgfodf7ualt0wdw/icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi ?dl=0

Why charger saying not supported when it is a genuine apple charger

Why charger saying not supported when it is a genuine apple charger

Do you mean the AC wall adapter or the cable when you say "charger"? Neither is a charger; the charger is built into the phone. You need to do some basic troubleshooting. First, try a different cable with the same AC adapter. Then try a different USB source such as the USB port on your computer. If you get the same message after both tests the problem lies in the phone. The most common cause of this message is dirt, moisture or pocket lint in the lightning connector on the bottom of the phone. Inspect it with a bright light and clean it with a plastic or wood toothpick. If none of these steps resolve the problem take the phone, cable and adapter to an Apple store for diagnosis. Make an appointment first: http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/us/en/techsupport/
Note: You should register the iPhone on Apple's website first, if it isn't already registered: https://supportprofile.apple.com/. This will speed up the appointment process.

Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)? I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions. I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred). As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud." But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
Thanks.

The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
There may be other sources which work - try Googling.
