Apple iPhone 4S Could Be Next in Line of Apple Device Issues

Apple’s mobile devices have consistently proven worldwide blockbusters. Whether the succeeding iterations of the iPhone, with increasingly advanced hardware and software, or the iPad dominating the tablet space, every new release seems to spark a customer rush for the nearest electronics store. However, despite their elegant design and top-notch software engineering, these Apple products sometimes run into issues. With the iPhone 4, some users complained of dropped calls whenever their bare skin touched the device’s exterior antenna rim; Apple eventually compensated with a giveaway of free rubber bumpers that covered that rim. With the iMac, reported issues with yellowed or flickering screens also drove Apple to a public response. Nor do these issues stop at hardware. Apple famously wrestled with the rollout of its MobileMe service, which was meant to sync users’ online data. At one point, Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs ushered the MobileMe team into the company’s auditorium for a dressing-down, climaxing with him dismissing the head of the team. Although Jobs is deceased, and former COO Tim Cook now holds the company’s reins, Apple will almost certainly continue its stringency with regard to its product lines. It remains to be seen, though, how it will respond to user reports that the iPhone 4S, the latest device in the iPhone line, is experiencing some battery issues.

Apple iPhone 4S Battery Issues

According to online reports and several irate commenters on Apple’s discussion threads, a subset of iPhone 4S units are experiencing significant battery drain in a relatively short period of time: 15 to 20 percent an hour, in some cases.

Antennagate

In 2010, the blockbuster release of the iPhone 4 was somewhat marred by reports of dropped calls whenever users gripped the device in a certain way with their bare hands.

Yellow iMac Screens

In late 2009, an unknown number of iMac buyers reported either a flickering screen, or one with a disconcerting yellow tint.

MobileMe

When Apple launched MobileMe in 2008, users reported issues with the online service, including problems syncing devices and some lost data.

Jailbreak hack enables Siri on iPhone 4, 4th-gen iPod touch

Hackers have succeeded in bringing a limited port of Apple's new Siri voice assistant feature onto "jailbroken" versions of the iPhone 4 and the fourth-generation iPod touch, though they have noted that the workaround is not ready for a public release.

Steve Troughton-Smith and Grant Paul  publicized the hack via Twitter late Saturday. The tweak requires that devices first undergo a jailbreak, the procedure for hacking an iPhone to run unauthorized code and applications.

The two hackers provided screenshots and a video (below) of their success, while reporting that the service was "literally just as fast" on the iPhone 4 as the iPhone 4S. According to Paul, UI on the iPod touch felt "slightly slower," though the actual Siri was "pretty much identical."

Troughton-Smith said that he had boiled the entire hack down to "one line of code" plus "a *ton* of filesystem changes." He also promised that all details of the workaround would be revealed once he confirmed "it works, doesn't break other things and is safe," probably after the release of an iPhone 4S jailbreak. When asked whether a release date had been set, he said no, adding that doing so would "anger the hive."

Apple unveiled Siri earlier in October, announcing the feature as an exclusive to the iPhone 4S. In April 2010, it was reported that the Cupertino, Calif., company had acquired the developer of the original Siri app, possibly for as much as $200 million.

Given that initial reviews of the iPhone 4S have pointed to Siri as a main draw and "standout feature" of the device, Apple could move quickly to block the workaround from hackers. This could potentially lead to a cat-and-mouse game similar to its continued efforts to prevent jailbreaking and unlocking.

Apple's first television ad for the iPhone 4S focused exclusively on Siri serves as further evidence that the company plans to, at least at first, rely on the service to distinguish the device from its predecessor. Some have criticized Apple for taking 16 months to release an iPhone with nearly the same design as the fourth-generation iPhone.

Though Siri is currently only officially available on the iPhone 4S, a recent report from The New York Times suggested that Apple may center the interface of a rumored high-definition connected television set around the voice assistant feature.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson during an interview that he had solved the problem of a simple and elegant interface for an Apple-developed HDTV.

"It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine," Jobs was quoted as saying. "I finally cracked it."

iPhone 4 remains top-selling US smartphone

Despite iPhone 5 approaching, Apple iPhone 4 is still NO 1 hot sale smartphone.

Analyst T. Michael Walkley with Canaccord Genuity revealed in a note to investors on Tuesday that checks with U.S. carriers indicate that sales of the iPhone 4 remain on top ahead of the iPhone 5 debut, despite the fact that the iPhone 4 is more than a year old.

"Our checks indicated strong sales of the iPhone 4, as it remained the top selling smartphone at AT&T and Verizon despite increasing consumer expectations for the iPhone 5 launch," he wrote.

"During the holiday season, we anticipate strong sales of the iPhone 5, as we anticipate a strong global launch with increased distribution to new carriers including Sprint in the U.S. market."

Walkley's research found that the iPhone 4 remained the top-selling handset at both AT&T and Verizon in August. In addition, the $50 entry-level $50 iPhone 3GS was the second strongest selling handset at AT&T. Verizon does not offer the iPhone 3GS.

The iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS beat out the $200 Samsung Infuse 4G, which was the third-best selling handset at AT&T. And at Verizon, the Samsung Charge 4G came in second, while the HTC Thunderbolt 4G was third.

"While Motorola Mobility and RIM enjoyed stronger sell-through trends in 2010, our (first half of calendar 2011) checks indicate a clear trend toward increasing share for Apple, HTC and Samsung," Walkley wrote.

In addition to strong sales of the iPhone 4, he also found that the 3G-capable iPad 2 is the top-selling tablet at both AT&T and Verizon, which are the only two carriers that offer the iPad in the U.S.

"Based on solid demand trends for iPhone/iPad, poor sell-through trends for competing tablet offerings, and the ramping iOS ecosystem driving longer-term replacement sales, we believe Apple will maintain dominant value share of both the tablet and smartphone markets to drive healthy long-term earnings growth," Walkley said.

Why iPhone 5 is being delayed by Apple: Are they bogged down by death grip

 People are wondering as to why iPhone 5 is being delayed by Apple? They wonder if they are bogged down by death grip, the same problem that was faced by Apple in iPhone 4?

Every other person, whether iPhone fan or hater is perplexed by Apple’s unexplained behavior. Five months have passed when it should have been made a concrete announcement of iPhone 5 launch or in fact should have launched it. But there is neither any announcement or launch of it.

iPhone fans who have got accustomed to the periodic launch of iPhone variant every year and even in between are a little perplexed. When great Android smart phones are being launched with regular intervals and when Motorola and Samsung are launching different variants of their phones Apple is not even informing its fans as to what it intends to do and whether it will launch iPhone 5 this year or not.

Meanwhile there is a latest update about iPhone 5 proximity sensor. This sensor is not part of the current iPhone and is a latest add on for the forthcoming iPhone 5.

A tech website SW-Box.com has said that it is in possession of iPhone 5 proximity light sensor flex cable.

This is among the most tangible proofs of iPhone 5 and its development.

There are reports that Apple has delayed the iPhone 5 due to production problems.  There are many people who think that Apple has failed to solve the death grip problem in the phone and so is the delay. Death grip problem in iPhone 4 had cost Apple a big amount of money and had to give a cover to all the people who bought the iPhone 4 in the initial several months.

Apple Doesn't Need a Cheaper iPhone

You can't deny the smashing success Apple has had with the iconic iPhone. Since it was launched in 2007, more than 100 million iPhones have been sold and the revolutionary device now accounts for about 40% of Apple's sales. But Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) has caught and passed Apple in the number of cell phones running its operating system and is adding 500,000 devices per day to its ranks. That has some Apple watchers calling for a cheaper iPhone to compete with free (with a contract) Android phones. Should Apple listen?

Above the fray
Apple's history of sticking with the premium product is mixed. In the 1980s, adhering to a closed system and high margins let Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT IBM, NYSE: IBM get the upper hand in the PC race. But recently, the premium product is what has differentiated Mac in the PC market and has led to its success. Likewise, when netbooks were all the rage, Apple stayed away from the price-sensitive products and instead worked on the iPad, which revolutionized the industry.

With the iPod, Apple expanded a successful product into the Shuffle, Mini, Nano, and Touch varieties that cover any price range consumers may need. That's the model Apple would probably follow if it wanted to reach beyond its current base.

But the answer of what to do with the iPhone depends on how Apple could make the product less expensive without ruining the experience. You can’t just shrink an iPhone, reduce the size of the screen, and have a hit the way Apple did with the iPod Mini. The iPhone is all about a superior experience, and any "dumbing down" may bring in more buyers, but they may not be happy with their experience.

Of course, Apple already sells the iPhone 3G for $49 with a contract through AT&T. Verizon doesn't have that option because the 3GS doesn't work on its network, although newer models could be made available at reduced costs.

But remember that one of the reasons the iPod model worked was that Apple essentially replaced the iPod with the iPhone, so it never became a commodity business based primarily on price. Apple gets on a slippery slope if it starts trying to make every consumer price point happy with iPhones.

Increasing sales volume has never been the only goal of Steve Jobs or Apple; instead, they've had success sticking with "delighting their customers." Unless Apple has some magic trick up its sleeve (and it might), I hope it doesn't stoop to making a dumbed-down iPhone

Apple Hopes to Thwart Jailbreakers with iOS 5

When Apple releases iOS 5 later this fall, users who like to jailbreak their devices might find the process more complex than usual.

While perusing the code for iOS 5 beta 2, the members of the iPhone Dev Team discovered Apple is putting measures into place to make it more difficult for iOS 5 users to rollback to earlier versions of iOS.

It isn’t uncommon for more advanced users to want to try out the latest non-jailbroken software and then revert back to an earlier version so that they can take advantage of their jailbroken features. The current workaround is for users to backup their SHSH blobs before upgrading the software. This ensures that an older version of the OS and firmware can be restored at a later time.

With iOS 5, Apple is changing the way that the blobs are created. The blobs will be regenerated every time a device is rebooted, meaning that simply having an old version of the key around won’t allow users to install an older version of the software.

While this doesn’t prevent groups like the iPhone Dev Team from finding exploits and providing tools so that users can jailbreak their devices, it might make keeping a device in a jailbroken state more difficult.

With iOS 5, Apple will also be looking at doing over-the-air OS upgrades, meaning that the software can update itself without needing to connect with iTunes. In theory, this means that Apple could push out small updates to patch exploits, preventing a user who has agreed to install said update from jailbreaking their device.

On its blog, the Dev Team doesn’t sound overly concerned about what this means for jailbreaking in general but does note that Apple has “stepped up their game” when it comes to locking down the OS. We’re sure the cat-and-mouse game will continue.
