Unsure as to why the iphone 4s was locked?

ethan · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:01

Now left wondering if it is ok to talk about it as its details are out

Robbo · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:01

There is a big thread in the Apple forum. You aren't mean to discuss Apple stuff in here really.

ethan · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:02

Ok thanks. I think I need that Glasses-off software to improve my vision.

Wicksta · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:03

Yeah the moderators in the Apple forum don't like normal people talking about the iPhone.

Begbie · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:04

But its a phone? Thought we could discuss Iphones in here, rather than causing a war in the Apple section?

Wicksta · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:07

Apple shares down nearly 5% now.

Wicksta · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:09

Sorry, now down well over 5% since that last post 2 minutes ago.

What if you want to discuss the 4s in relation to the SG2?

He was joking, you can talk about the iPhone in here, but there is also a dedicated Apple forum for certain stuff in order to try and avoid massive fanboy wars.

I can't face the 4S thread after only 5 pages. So much hypocrisy it's unreal.

As sad as it sounds if Apple had announced the iPhone 5 they would have had my money, but with this I am unsure what to do.

Completely underwhelmed tbh - although admittedly, it was only the media that was banging on about the iPhone 5. I'm sure the fanboys will soon be along to correct me, but this doesn't exactly sound like a vast leap in technology over the iPhone 4 ...

It's a substantial upgrade, not a vast leap. Mobile phone technology is moving so fast that there aren't many vast leaps these days.

I love the way Apple owners have been bleating "It's not all about CPU and GPU specs you know" for the past year, and now apparently it is.

What? I've hardly seen the CPU and GPU mentioned thus far. It's more about the camera/video/storage improvements and whether Siri will be good or not.

Close the door when you leave.

There's no need for that kind of attitude is there.

If you hadn't noticed there is an Apple Hardware forum which includes iPhones and this is belongs in there.

Wicksta · 4 Oct 2011 at 20:52

Yeah who made you a Don simulatorman.

Indeed, but this forum and the Apple forum are bound to overlap at times, that's all.
