Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Appl

Why does my iPhone 4 have a different Model # than those on display at Apple?
I noticed while in my local Apple store today that their iPhone 4's have a higher Model # in their Settings --> About screen. When I compare mine vs. theirs, why is my Model # lower?
My biggest fear is that Apple will secretly correct the hardware issues on the iPhone 4 & screw over everyone who bought it early by not doing a recall since it would cost them an arm & a leg.

They are basically batch numbers as posted by several forums other than Apple. One forum in Canada listed 8 batch numbers of iPhones residing in their country with the last code of "C/A". Mine is "LL" for some reason in the USA. I would have thought it would be "US" but there is probably a more detailed thread on this code choice by Apple.

  • Why does my iphone have 10GB of other?

    Why does my iphone have 10GB of "other"???

    In my case, after upgrading to iOS 5 I had no music or video. But plugged into iTunes I could see 5gb of 'other'
    When I clicked on Music in the device I could see all my music listed. I clicked on a track and pressed play and it worked. Then looked at the phone and it had all been miraculously restored (although I am having to reinstall most of it because the artwork in most cases won't show.
    It was the same with the apps. Until I downloaded a new app, none of my existing ones would work. What a wonderful experience this iPhone upgrading is turning out to be!!!

  • Why does my iphone have poor coverage and other phones work good

    i have two AT&T phones, 1 iphone 4 and the other a motorola tundra for work. My question is why does the Motorola tundra have 100% signal and my iphone go in and out of service continually....from 3g to no service and then to E network then back to O network and then to no signal at all. very frustrating

    Open the App, then try the settings and options within the Game.

  • Why does the iphone have such a small headphone jack!?

    The headphone jack on the iphone is not wide enough for any of my non apple headphones to fit. in fact the official apple cable i have for the ipod video does not even fit... this does not make much sense to me.
    also, on a side note, not being able to manually manage songs in itunes is very lame.

    Yeah, slight bummer..
    I have a pair of Shure E2c's that wouldn't fit until i took out the ol' razor and carefully trimmed the rubber back about a 1/4" so they would fit. If you can do this without destroying the integrity of the headphone, give it a shot. Or you could purchase an adaptor that works just as well..
    I chose the cheap way out.. I already spent $600 for the phone and $100 on the headphones, so I didn't want to spend another $10 for an adaptor.
    As far as manually managing music, I really don't see what the big deal is. I created playlists that I want synced and if I want to change something, I simply change it within the playlist and resync.. Does the same.. Don't see a real advantage to manually managing. That's just me though.

  • Why does my iphone have sounds for everything but text, Including calls?

    For some reason my iphone 4S doesn't make any sounds when i get a text, it doesn't even vibrate. But with calls and everything else it does exactly what it's supposed to. It started when i just recently updated to IOS 6.1.2. I've checked the switch above the volume buttons, i switched to assistive touch to turn off mute, which helped for one text but than the sound stopped again, but the settings stayed the same. And i also tried cleaning the ports. I will only reset my phone as a last resort, so any ideas will be helpfull.
    -Thank you

    i wondered the same thing.
    You have to go to the "Restrictions" page of your device's Settings and make sure "iTunes" is turned on. 
    This is why it only happened on my children's iPods and not on mine. 
    The reason a full restore works is that it resets all your passwords and allows everything automatically until you reset the restrictions again. 

  • Why does my iphone have duplicate songs with an icon?

    Recently I've noticed something on my iPhone.  Maybe it's been there all along, who knows.  But here's the deal: if I buy an album on iTunes for Mac, and sync my iPhone, the album on he phone looks bizarre:
    As you can see, there's a duplicate of each track, with a circle icon.  If I try and play this circle icon, it tells me I need to be connected to WiFi or something.
    Points of note:
    1. Under "Store" in the iPhone settings, I've turned off automatic downloads of everything.  I found that if this was enabled, my iPhone would download new music and would get a second copy sync'd by iTunes.  Fail for iTunes/iPhone recognising the same album I guess..?
    2. Every so often, my iPhone is now asking me for my Apple ID password - no special reason I can see,it just pops up and asks me.  This might be related.
    3. I haven't purchased/turned on iTunes Match anywhere (iCloud).
    I'm wondering if it's got spectacularly confused somewhere, if it thinks maybe it should be streaming this album from my Mac, or downloading it from the Store, even if it's already got a copy.
    How can I make it stop?  It's annoying in the extreme.  Sure, it's not as bad as not having food on the table, pretty much a first world problem,but not what I'd expect from the thing.  I'm happy to blow the device away and restart it as a fresh iPhone, not quite sure how to do that, but I'm open to all suggestions that might show how to fix the problem.
    Thanks

  • Why does my Finder have two different languages in the Menu?

    Hi
    My Finder seems to be showing two different languages? Most of the menu items, like File, Edit, View, Go and Help are all in English (my preferred language under System Pref, International, Language). However, i am not exactly sure when (or what i did), but some of the menu items under Finder (Shutdown, Sleep, Restart etc.) and under Window (all of the menu items) were in a Chinese language.
    So i went to the System Pref, Internaltional, Language and unchecked them. So that only the English variants were selected. I restarted....and all it did was change the same menu items that were in Chinese to a Norwegian (????) type language.
    I have reinstalled my OS 10.4 and it was still the same. I then ran all the updates....and it was still the same.
    I have run the Optional Install on the OS 10.4 disk, and tried the Language Translators reinstalled....and still the same.
    Apart from formatting.....does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi BDAqua
    I trashed the /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file ......rebooted....and it didn't fix the language issue in Finder.
    I then did as you suggested (show package contents) and found the file path System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder
    I then did a Get Info....but didn't see any language section tabs.
    When i Get Info on the System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
    I can see the language tab.....but it is all shaded out (i.e. i can't make any changes). I tried under the Ownership and Permissions tab to change the "Owner" section from System to My Name. However, this did not give me access to the language tab. I also tried to change the "Group" section to My Name (was on Wheel????). But i had no success in changing the language.
    Are there any other angles i could try?
    I have done quite an extensive search on the internet.....but haven't found anyone with the exact same issue. This was the closest... http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-34796.html
    But i tried everything they suggested (except the format option). I haven't posted on any other forums yet either.
    Thanks again BDAqua for all your assistance!

  • Why does my iPhone have 6.2gb of "other"memory after os5 upgrade?

    Does anybody know why the "other" amount for storage is so large now?

    In my case, after upgrading to iOS 5 I had no music or video. But plugged into iTunes I could see 5gb of 'other'

  • Why does my iphone have little flashing lines after opening a web page?

    So last night I was reading on my phone, and I wanted to look something up that had to do with my book. I opened up Safari, and clicked on the first link, I think it led to tumblr, and I waited for the page to be pulled up. After about 10 minutes, my whole phone froze up and I couldn't do anything. The web page suddenly faded to these grey flickering lines which stayed on my phone for over an hour. I didn't know what to do so I pulled it off the charger and let it die. In the morning when I pulled my phone out and checked it. It had the little charger on the black screen but the lines were there too. I plugged it back in and all is well except the lines are still on my screen. Did I do something?

    If you want to try something to see if its software related is to Restart, Reset, then Restore. Do each one then test the phone before proceeding to the next in that order.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • HT1349 Why does my iPhone connect with someone other than the person I am texting?

    Can someone explain why when I text someone from my contacts I get someone texting me back and I have no idea who it is.

    Try to set up the phone as new device and to rule out a software error, don't use the backup after that.
    If the phone works without problems, restore from the backup. If the problems are coming back, set it up again as new, this time adding the 3rd party apps back one after the other, one of them must be causing the freezes.

  • Keynote issue: Why does my iPhone 5 not detect my iPad with Retina Display when both devices are up-to-date?

    I have an iPhone 5. I am trying to pair it to my iPad with Retina Display. However, the devices do not detect each other when trying to pair over Keynote.
    My apps and iOS are up-to-date. What is the problem? I have even tried wi-fi. I successfully paired the device to my iMac and it works.

    This is for you and any other person that needs it. I didn't know how to use it properly.
    Therefore, I guess it is operator error on my part.
    You have to go into your Presentation tools and enable the remote from there.

  • Why does PM7 sometimes print a different font than selected?

    When I print an entire file of 20 - 30 pages, PM7 sometimes prints a small section of the file in a font that looks like Arial even though the text is in Times New Roman. I've double-checked to ensure that the text is in fact saved in Times New Roman. When printing just the one page, the print is normal with the correct font throughout. This problem only happens twice in a 410-page document, and always on the same two pages in the same location. Help!

    Mel, I haven't used PM in many years, but I seem to recall having problems like the one you describe. As far as I can remember, if one had the time to perform a thorough check, these could nearly always be linked to something in a wrong or damaged font, and this was not always easy to spot. Sometimes it was just a single blank space in the middle of perfectly normal text, sometimes it could be a single character, or a couple of them, standing behind the text or a figure, or in a remote corner of the desktop. If one didn't have the time, sometimes it was better to rewrite the whole text in a brand new file, placing again any figures from fresh copies of the originals, and replace the troblesome page(s). But it has been so long that my recollections may not be all that good.
    Good luck.

  • Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    thx

    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.
