Got a bit overexcited with some calculations to what I can sell and end up with a mac mini.
So glad my HE discount is still in use, magic track pad was on the sale and 2 M4's ** Competitor removed ** .
(apologies there Huddy)
Just waiting patiently for the data doubler kit to turn up then to sell all my current pc stuff...

No, it's 1GB. http://mashable.com/2012/09/20/ios6-growth/
My device has never crashed or bricked because it isn't running Windows.
It sounds like Windows devices are prone to bricking. Thank god for iOS!
That's great. It still doesn't excuse the misleading advertising.
actually, it does. its not their fault you don't understand the differences between binary and decimal units. nor is it their problem you can't read the note that explains how much space the OS takes. its like buying a new SSD installing windows and wondering why you don't have the whole drive free.
Lol, prone to bricking, got anything to back taht up. Or just trying to make rubbish up.
You need 2.5gb free to install ios6 o that's what I assumed it used.
How it tale advertising? Or misleading?
A) it has 32Gb
b) they do not hide the fact, they tell you the exact breakdown, as I've already posted.
I've had 3 iOS bricks in ~3years of ownership. There is an issue when it happens, as you have to have iTunes. Which means being at home. If it happens when you are away you are stuffed.
As I said I would rather there be a more user friendly option on both OS.
If your going traveling or Holliday, you will most likely want that safety net.

I thought iCloud back up sorted that problem out?
That doesn't recover the phone. That just backs stuff up. Still leaves you with a brick untill you can get to a computer with iTunes.

I mean if you get a new iPhone, put in your Apple ID, can you not retrieve your backup from iCloud without ever the need of iTunes?
Yes, but that's not what we are talking about.
We are on about the restore files. On winRT these are kept on the device at a cost of 5GB space, they can be moved off the device in the settings.
iOS does not have restore files, so if there's a critical error, you will need to connect to iTunes to reinstall and get your device back working.
As I said its upto the person which is better. But as a mobile device plenty of people use it out and about for extended periods, weather it's people like me who work away and based in hotels for a week at a time, or people in industry that travel aboard for even longer than a week.
It's certainly annoying when it happens.

But that basically never happens. You either have to be doing something you shouldn't be doing(ie jail breaking) or seriously unlucky to brick an iPhone so badly you have to restore via iTunes.
In fact in years of ownership (every iPhone except 3G) and jail breaking, beta iOS etc, I've only ever experienced it once.

I have own an iPhone for 5 years, I have never bricked one and even jailbrake the first one for all that time I had it.
Binary v decimal isn't an issue. Do they really expect everyone to go looking for the small print? It wouldn't be an issue if they were to say something like 32GB total space, 16GB usable on the main product page.
You bought bricking into the discussion. A stable device (anything iOS & probably Android) doesn't require recovery files on its storage media. You must be doing something majorly bad if you need a recovery option just in case you mess up the device.
Ah, another Glaucus assumption!
Note to self: When buying a Microsoft product, look for obscure FAQ page because they're not upfront about important information.
What did you do to cause the bricks?
Where did I say it was unstable, what eve diene do you have it's unstable? You don't.
I haven't done unthink when bricking the phone, they've just bricked on their own, twice was when it ran out of battery, charge it up and it fails to turn on.
No it's not often, its very stable. But it does happen, and when it does your stuffed. If you go to work and come home then the system is fine. If you are using it when away, it is far from fine. As I said it should have the option. WinRT gives you the option, they come on the device but you can easily remove th backup files and stick them on a USB drive.

Indeed, I'm no apple fanboy, but I've never had an iphone brick on me, even when jailbroken they're very reliable. I'd rather have the extra 5 gb of room for my own stuff.
Then have it, you have the option.

I've owned all iPhones since it was release (and the 1st Gen iPad and iPad 3) and not one of those has bricked. I've had them lock up completely on the odd occasion. and I've needed to use the two finger reset.
