Hmmmm Interesting article.

A few points:
iOS 8 crashes 67pc more often than its predecessor, iOS 7
According to Apple, 46pc of iOS-enabled devices, including iPhones, iPads and iPods, are running iOS8, while 49pc are running iOS 7 & to roll back the update:
Step 5) Installing the IPSW file will wipe everything from your phone, but now you can re-install everything you backed up earlier. Simply select "Restore Backup" in iTunes. Nice one, in other words reinstall the OS, its not a roll back at all. Wonder how many people will lose all their data.

I was offered either a Samsung or iphone today, same price when enquiring about a plan upgrade, guess which one I Didn't take. :)

1384631 2014-09-25 06:03:00 One of these (www.nzherald.co.nz)?
Only a good choice if someone gave you some "almost bad" beer. ;)
(Unlike phones, beer can't be bad. At worst it can only be not good.)

Ha ha - thanks for posting this - I mentioned your decision on Facebook today, along with the videos, and am now waiting for my friend in Wellington who is a fanatic Apple devotee to spit the dummy about my posting. :D

1384634 2014-09-25 22:13:00 Normally the iphone would be more expensive, but then we are not on a normal phone plan, ours is combined with a package so its cheaper.

Just reading on www.stuff.co.nz OMG :eek: about 50 people at one store and 60 at another - If that low numbers happed overseas they would wonder what went wrong :)

Edited: Just found a reply from Apple re the phones bending: online.wsj.com
saying warping is "extremely rare" through normal use. So there you go -- :p people are not using their new phones correctly.

1384635 2014-09-25 23:12:00 Yup, it's mostly due to having unapproved non-Apple clothing. If you go to the iGarment iDepartment, there are many choices available for exclusive iDesigner Fashion Apparel.
Using this iThreads range avoids voiding your warranty, instead leaving you a complete iUser. ;)

1384636 2014-09-25 23:37:00 Cannot believe that Apple hasn't given a few units to the average monkey to test out as part of the prototyping process before selling millions of them.

If they had done this there would have been no surprises and massive expenses such as they are going to incur now.

The staff that have been testing them in real life situations much have been treating them like precious jewels, heads should roll at Apple engineering for this elementary stuff up.

My grandson would have found all physical vulnerabilities in the unit after a day using it down at the skate-park in Moorhouse Avenue.

Isn't that what Apple told people with the antennagate story a couple of years ago?? :-)
