OMG iOS7!!!!

[Hmbre97]

I like that it has a new menu for a Wi-Fi Toggler and a built in flashlight

Seriously? Those are just now features being added?

Jesus Christ... The iPhone really has become the jitterbug of the smartphone world.

Give them money! MORE MONEY!

A phone company/os forcing you to use only their brand of chargers.

In a move possibly triggered by stories of deadly electrical shocks coming from Apple iPhone and Apple iPad units, the Cupertino based tech giant is blocking the use of unauthorized third party Lightning cables with iOS 7. Those cables authorized for use with an iPhone or iPad, contain a chip that authenticates the cable allowing it to be used with the device. There is word going around that some unauthorized cables with cracked chips have been working with iOS 7. Apple will probably shut the door on the usage of the latter in a future update.

Additionally, there is allegedly a workaround that will allow the unauthorized cables to work with iOS 7. The process is said to be long enough to get those using a hazardous cable to switch to an official Apple produced cable. Back in July, Apple's website in China displayed the characteristics of an official Apple charger. This came after an incident that killed 23 year old flight attendant Ma Ai Lun. Lun was allegedly killed from an electrical charge that came out of her Apple iPhone 5 while she was answering a call. The phone was plugged into an outlet at the time, using an unauthorized charger.

Other situations took place afterward, including a man shocked into a coma by his Apple iPhone 4, and another man who allegedly went flying across the room when he touched his daughter's Apple iPad. In order to get unauthorized chargers out of commission, Apple started a trade-in offer where it would sell an Apple authorized charger for $10 to anyone bringing in a knock-off or unauthorized third party charger. The offer is available in the U.S., China, and other countries such as Australia ($14 AUD), Canada ($11 CAD), France (€10), Germany (€10), Japan (￥1,000), and the United Kingdom (10 GBP).

Man, I hate factory Apple cables. They're all flimsy pieces of shit.

I don't understand why everyone's gets so worked up over iOS vs android... I have had both over the years and they are just phones... I will say I liked having a removable battery on my android phones for the hard restarts I would have to have a few times a week lol.

it's because their phones define their identity.

Bugs, LET THEM BEGIN!

I tried that and mine goes back to the lock screen. All i have is the Iphone 4

Same here on a 4s

I was able to do what's reported with my 5. But it begs the question, who the fuck is going to let their phones get into the hands of someone who shouldn't have it? Physical security is the first step, if a person can get their hands on your equipment all bets are off.

"I couldn't buy that, its for a girl" etc etc . . .

I pissed a girl off at work just by downloading an ios7 theme on my S1 while she was talking about not being able to download it on her iphone5. Right after that I told her it sucked and changed it to a windows 8 theme then showed her that. She just got up and walked away.

Well, that doesn't sound like you were being a condescending douche or anything.

Anyone else having issues in the pic/vid forum?

I open the thread and there won't be an embedded video. Just blank space.
