I HATE APPLE

AT&T says I'm at 65% of my data plan that started on 10/1
I had jury duty from 10/1 to 10/4 and my phone was turned off and sitting in a box p much all day for 4 days
How and why could this be happening?

what kind of phone? my (android) phone will tell me what's using the data.
my guess = auto updates.

There is a setting (in Settings --> iTunes and App Store) to only use wi-fi for auto app updates. Good so far. But the same switch also turns off cellular for iTunes Radio at the same time. WTF? I can wait until I'm in a wifi hotspot to update apps, but most of the time I'd want to use iTunes radio I'm in a car, walking, or on public transportation where wi-fi isn't available. Those should be two seperate settings.

this upgrade to mavericks did not go very smoothly /:

Noticing more and more lag with iOS7 on my old iPhone 4. I can open up the Messaging app and type out three words before they start actually appearing on the screen, and I'm a slow iPhone typer. It sucks because I would actually like to upgrade but probably shouldn't spend the money but my phone is getting increasingly frustrating.

if you haven't done the update from this week... do it. My wife's 4 was super laggy, and the update seems to have fixed much of it.

I want a fucking iPhone 5S but I don't want a fucking broken gyroscope; did they fucking fix that yet?

nobody knows what you're talking about

Looks like they did with software: http://isource.com/2013/10/23/ios-7-0-3-sensor-fix/

oh ah cool!

except him

if you can afford it, it doesn't hurt to upgrade yr hardware at least every two years or so

apparently ios7 broke the TV out function on ipads? kinda crazy for what is a pretty common presentation device.

lol s1ocki

Updating the update seemed to help for a day or two but now I'm back to lag on everything. :(

If you take a brand new iPhone 5s (still with the plastic on) to an apple store because the home button is sporadic and they agree to replace it, do they do a back-up and restore and give you a new phone with all your old info and settings on it, or do you have to do that yourself or start from scratch?

You do that before you take it in.

They give you a fresh phone

But first they give you a wedgie

maybe it's not working because it's got plastic on it.

I've thought about that. The plastic doesn't cover the button, I cut it off there so I could use it while I wait to get another plastic cover. But maybe its affecting it somehow, I'll test it when the case arrives.

wonder if the home button will be a point of failure for the 5S from a defect perspective

had mine about a month and it already seems a little wonky - clicking very loudly when I press it

love the fingerprint reader but I suspect it introduced some new manufacturing quirks

Their margins allow for a reasonable rate of repairs/returns. Let's them use reasonably-proven components without fear of financial ruin should a large recall be needed.

* lets

The home button on my iPad conked out after a few months and they replaced the unit no questions asked, saying it was a very rare fault.

how is the new ipad? thinking of picking one up.

it's really nice, the old ipad 4 feels big and bloated by comparison

i traded in our family ipad 1 for 200 off the new one at target

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7460/apple-ipad-air-review

new one is about as thick as an iphone

Do you have to spend the $200 on an ipad or is it a generic gift card?

depends on your target

they gave me a gift card though. there is nothing wroth spending money on at target so we just got the ipad air

you could've bought like 25 of these

http://img2.targetimg2.com/wcsstore/TargetSAS//img/p/12/94/12943140_201309121320.jpg

I could buy groceries

when they swiped the trade-in card they gave me they had to manually type in the amount that it would deduct. so idk if it was a regular gift card or what

Wait they gave you $200 off for an ipad 1?? was it ever used?

Yes

left hand side

has to be a target w/ a 'target mobile'

sunny about to break some little kids' hearts.

oh this is a promotional $200 on ANY ipad??

thats awesome. i have $400 worth of cracked ipad waiting!!

they might not take it if the screen is cracked, idk

our ipad was dinged and probably had scratches and stuff but the screen was fine

Yeah, it specifically says the screen cannot be cracked

bloody hell

STUPID TARGET

i took a bag of garbage to kitchen scraps and they wouldn't give me $25 for it

Target gave you $200 for the original iPad? Their website is quoting me $75 for a 1st-gen iPad 64GB wifi/3G :-/

Yeah they'll do it regardless of what the website says

Unless you're in chicago

Read the link -- $200 minimum for all iPads in-store until the 9th

OH I SEE

Oops. Thank you.

No locations in Chicago. That sucks. I guess it would be worth borrowing a car to drive to a suburb for that deal.

Just run to evanston

huh. might be worth driving to Concord I guess. stock up on...underwear and non-perishables?

don't forget monster mix.
