What is it now, 3rd or 4th update trying sort out security issues like bypassing finger scanner, randomly crashes etc etc

Oh dear

Nice that Apple are pay homage to M$ though with the use of a blue death screen. Maybe M$ should file a lawsuit against them

I do actually, my daughter uses it when it decides to work. Either it's too warm or too cold for the iPhone 5 for it to work. Sh1te performance now with version 7 o's. Lucky for some but not most.

I pretty much knew that TBH, how can people get so hung up on a brand?

Quite sad really that grown men are behaving like little old women who have nothing better to do with themself's than gossip about little things that have nothing to do with them or don't really affect them.

its a little nothing, it does it with one certain app which you will probably never use so don't worry and enjoy

come back and let us know what you think to it, I'm ordering my 32gb 5s next week

Not sure if this thread is only relavant to the iPhone 5 but after updating to ios7 my phones been slower (iPhone 4) and my brothers 4s is absolutely crap lol, his battery keeps running down quite quick BUT that's ok as when it gets to around 30% it switches itself off anyway and won't restart, it's also randomly crashing and freezing when he answers calls.

It's affecting his buisness at the minute so he went to the apple store and they told him they were too busy to check the software and if it was the hardware it would be £140 to fix! Absolute joke IMO when he's only 13 months or so into a contract, phone has been in a case since day one and is unmarked, why should he pay to have a phone fixed due to it not being able to last the length of the contract???

And I'm not bothered which phone I use as I don't do too much with them, I would say the iPhone is better than all my previous phones even though it's not very reliable and can't even keep up with the predictive text lol, there's sometime two lines of text typed out before anything appears on the screen!

It will be an excellent phone and I would not worry about threads like these, considering how many millions are sold its obvious there will be a few faulty ones that will happen in any form of tech.

Tbh he took it back to apple store yesterday, staff had him wait in the shop for 30 mins and then did a factory reset, phone is still exactly the same lol.

It would seem the phone is buggered and it would also seem the service from the apple store in Gateshead is pants.
