Will Apple continue to make the 3GS after iPhone 5 release?? or for how long?

I plan on buying another 3GS at the end of November. I hope the phone will still be made and sold - a great phone!

  • Will apple continue to make the iPad 2, or do I need to go get one tonight before they all disappear?

    Hi.  Will Apple continue to make and sell the iPad 2, or do I need to run out and get one now?
    Bob

    IT's very possible they're dropping the price to clear out inventory, and as soon as the current stockpile is gone there won't be any more. Has Apple said if they're still making new iPad2's?

  • For how long 10.6 will get security updates?

    Some days ago I downgraded to 10.6 from 10.7 (on my white MacBook early 2008) and with 10.6 it's so much faster. It boots up with 15 seconds while in 10.7 it does about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
    Applications open more quickly and everything. I've just realized that my computer wasn't made for 10.7 exactly. I'd like to use 10.6 as long as possible, because I love the OS. It's perfect.
    For how long it'll recieve security updates? Some days ago I read some post that 10.6 will be like Microsoft Windows XP (Supported for a very long time).
    What do you think?
    Will most developers still support 10.6 ( and will it recieve security updates) about a year later ?

    So it's not because of most mac users use 10.6?
    Most Mac users are on 10.6, about 40-45% of them. 12% are on 10.5 (likely PPC) and 3% still on 10.4.
    Apple doesn't support 10.4 or 10.5 any longer. However they do support 10.6.
    OS X 10.8 was released only a year after 10.7, so they got about 20% market share each.
    But how long do you think they'll support it more?
    Will it become Apple's XP?
    Apple just released a security update for 10.6, so they are certainly paying attention to it.
    Also like was mentioned AppStore is on 10.6.8, so for the interests of security Apple has to kind of pay attention to 10.6.8 as to prevent it being used to get into AppStore.
    Also they don't want another flashback incident on their hands by ignoring too many of their users for security updates.

    Apple also released iTunes 11 for 10.6.8 too.
    However Apple didn't release Safari 6 for 10.6.8, so you need to use Firefox as it gets updates and more rapidly than Safari.

    I couldn't agree with you any more. Running 10.6.8 on the latest top of the line Early 2011 17" that will run it and it SCREAMS.
    10.7/10.8 are absolutely crap, bloated, stupid and ugly.
    For your old white 2008 machine that's 5 years old, 10.6 is the best for it. So you were right to downgrade.
    Since your machine is at it's end of life stage, you might not have to worry about Apple leaving 10.6 for security updates, it might die before Apple leaves it behind.

    The Student membership is an annual plan so you'll pay the same price each month for 12 months regardless of when you graduate during that year.

  • Wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app

    wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app so I am concerned

    If the backup and restore takes place properly, you shouldn't have any issue as millions of people have done an update from iOS 4.

  • Will Apple continue to support iWeb?

    Will Apple continue to support iWeb?

    It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

  • Will Apple continue to update &/or upgrade Snow Leopard?

    After Lion, will Apple continue to update &/or upgrade Snow Leopard?

    Sorry, speculation is outside the T&Cs of this forum. (but I doubt it apart from security updates).

  • What does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

    what does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

    It means that you get only one download of the movie per purchase, so once it's downloaded, you'd be wise to make a backup. Otherwise, if something happens to delete the movie, you'll have to buy it again.
    Regards.

  • How long will Apple continue to release patches for Snow Leopard?

    Now that Mountain Lion has been released, how long will Apple continue to support Snow Leopard with patches?

    I think the support has already stopped for 10.6.8 if past practice is anything to go on.*
    Past observation suggests Apple supports the current and the preceding OS.
    On the  25th of July, 2012** it became no longer the preceding but relegated to 'bronze'.
    * exceptions have been known but are rare.
    ** when 10.8 came out.

  • When will Apple support MAP on the iPhone iO6?

    When will Apple support MAP on the iPhone iO6?

    Guess I could have been clearer.  What I am referring to is MAP-compatable (Message Access Profile) phone pairing for text messaging in newer vehicles.  Apple does not support this service, would make driving safer if they did. 

  • Will apple continue to support OS X Lion?

    I am new to apple and i have question regarding OS X Lion.
    I have OS X Lion 10.7.4 on my Macbook pro late 2011 model, i want to ask that will apple continue update to OS X Lion to 10.7.5 or above? despite the fact that apple has just released a new OS X mountain lion..

    no one here knows what apple plans to do.  They haven't released a newer version of 10.6 (10.6.8) since 10.7 was released last summer.  So if you want to take a guess based on that.  Then the answer is no.  But again, no one here can say what apple has planned as we just dont know.

    If you purchased it within the last 14 days you can return it for a full refund and then purchase the 5G.
