Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen?  This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not?  Seems like an assinine concept!

It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

  • Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

    Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
    And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
    I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
    If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
    Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
    Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
    I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
    Thank you

    The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
    Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
    Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
    You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 lose 3G signal when plugged into the TV with the AV Adapter?

    When I plug in my iPhone 4 (Verizon) or my husband's iPhone 4 (AT&T) to watch Netflix, Netflix stalls and the 3G signal disappears. I have tried connecting the adapter both before and after entering the application. I believe the digital AV adapter and HDMI cable are fine, because I have no problem seeing output from my iPad 2. 
    When I plug in the adapter, the 3G signal will disappear shortly thereafter.  The red Netflix screen will appear on the TV, but 9 times out of 10 it will go no further.  One time it stayed on the red screen, but I heard the audio from the movie.  Another time it showed the movie for 10 seconds, then stopped.  When I unplug my iPhone, it will take a while to regain the 3G signal.

    I had the same issue in my 2012 Nissan Altima.  It was a function in my car's stero settings.  I had to go to the car's iPhone/iPod settings when the iPhone was plugged into the USB.  My settings come up automatically when I plug in and I can scroll through the commands to "Shuffle" songs.  Hope this helps.

  • Why does my iPhone plays louder music in one side of the earphone than the other?

    Hello Apple Community,
    So I own this iPhone 4S which is about half a year old, and from this Monday onwards I kept feeling that my iPhone plays music louder in one side of the earphone than the other. I don't think it's my earphones because I just got them two weeks ago, and I always took good care of it. What can I do to solve this frustrating problem?
    Thanks!
    P.S. My earphones are the Klipsch x10. Costs about 300 bucks.

    The only setting on an iPhone that controls balance is here: Settings>General>Accessibility>Hearing.

  • Why does Large text in a Form get cut off at the top when I save it as a PDF

    Hi. I've created a form in Acrobat with 2 text fields. I set the size to 40pt and 30pts using Helvetica. When I fill out the form and save-as a PDF the text displays as cut off at the top.
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    Making the text fields MUCH larger than the font.
    Changing fonts. I've tried Helvetica, Verdana, Arial
    Selecting Multi-line
    Does anyone know how I can keep it from cutting off? The only solution I've been able to find thus far is reducing the font size significantly, which is not an option.
    THANKS!

    I'm using Acrbat Pro version 10.1.4
    The text looks perfect in Acrobat. I'm choosing File > Save As from Acrobat and then when I open it with Preview or Reader it cut's off the text.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep turning on and off

    this started happening about two weeks ago. my phone just turns off to the apple logo and back on where i would have to put my password back in, the phone does this at random times so i dont know when its going to happen. Ive already tried restoring my phone in itunes but that hasnt fixed the problem. I have an appointment today at the Genius Bar so do yo think that they would be able to replace my phone? this issue is getting really annoying. PS. i do have applecare if that matters.

    if you have phone support they can help you. since you are going into the retail store they can help you out to. it sounds like a software issue which shouldn't be too hard for them to fix. if they cant tho they will probably replace it.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 crash when purchasing a game in the app store?

    Hi everyone,
    I have an iPhone 5 model A1429 with 16GB  with iOS version 7.1.2 (11D257).
    I am trying to install the game Lies of Astaroth (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id586902335)
    But after pressing Install and entering my iTunes password, my iPhone 'crashes' (the screen kinda goes green) and restarts.
    I have tried 3 times and the same thing happens.
    Did anyone else have this issue?
    Best;
    Leon

    Does this happen with any other application you try to download from the App store?  If you haven't tested that, pick another app to download and see what happens.
    If the other app downloads fine, then it's not your device, it's the other app.
    Alternate method of installing an app is to download it on your computer via iTunes Store, and then sync to over to your device.

  • HT5824 Why does my iPhone require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud??????????????

    Why does my iPhone 5 require 27 hours to backup to the iCloud???????

    It depends on your upload speed which is normally very slow.
    Subsequent backup should be a lot faster (incremental backup)

  • Why does my iphone 4 ios 6 not connect to itunes store or allow Passbook to do the same?

    why does my iphone 4 ios6 not connect to itunes store nor allow Passbook to do the same?

  • Why does not Apple allows iPhone to be sync by two different computers ?

    I have a pc at home and one in office. But I can only sync it with my home pc. Why does not apple allow iPhones to be sync by atleats two pcs as having different pc for work and home is very general.

    It is possible to sync from multiple libraries manually on other devices (iPads & iPods) so blanket statements that 'it's DRM' don't really make sense to me.
    If it is the only reason why can't non DRM'd content be copied?
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
    See step 6, iPods & iPads have fewer restrictions compared to iPhones.
    Perhaps we would have a better idea if it wasn't all wrapped up in thousands of words spread between the multiple terms & conditions agreements.
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/ww/
    You will need to read those terms & get legal help if you can't work it out titan_sifu, good luck.
