Admit it. iPhone5 is queer and toy like. On top of that iOS6 is a POS.

iOS 6 problems are growing iOS 6 problems bug companies By Daniel Chubb on October 8, 20121COMMENTS product-reviews.net Now that we are a few weeks on since the launch of iOS 6 it seems that the list of problems have not only grown, but the bugs are causing companies to warn people not to update if they’ve not done so already. We’ve also seen a number of products affected by iOS 6 problems, which includes users of AT&T’s MicroCell finding the service broken after upgrading on their iPhone 4/4S, and even on the latest iPhone 5. The unnamed company that warns about iOS 6 problems – this source is claiming a “large” company has contacted employees over iOS 6 issues, and states there are bugs with meeting invitations in Microsoft Exchange. It worried this company so much that they warned staff to avoid updating to iOS 6 until the problems have been fixed, and it is worth pointing out that both Microsoft and Apple are aware of the bugs and are apparently working “towards a resolution“, although we’re not aware of an official response from either company. You can see part of a memo that the employees received below, we don’t know the name of this company that the above source quotes from, but the impact of these Microsoft Exchange problems in iOS 6 are very clear and the warning to not upgrade is also crystal clear. If you own the iPhone 5 with iOS 6 then you are warned to not interact with any calendar appointments until these bugs are fixed. Some iPhone users enjoy using AT&T’s 3G MicroCell device to improve reception in their homes, which is especially important when you get a ready bad signal, although it seems these devices have been plagued with bugs since iOS 6. Some users are reporting that the service has broke and after contacting AT&T they explained the problem is being worked on, although there is no set time for a fix. You can read more about iOS 6/iPhone 5 issues with MicroCell here, although feel free to leave a comment if you’ve experienced any issues. We’ve also heard about issues with Wi-Fi on iOS 6 devices and iPhone 4/4S users finding batterylife draining much faster after updating, which some of PR’s readers asked Apple Store staff about these issues and the staff said they “didn’t know anything about it“. It is worth pointing out that we have extensively tested the iPhone 5, and can confirm there are no battery issues on the latest hardware. Did you update to iOS 6 right away, or did you expect problems and are waiting for fixes?After owning 6 different iPhones now it has become the norm to see bugs after a major softwareupdate, and thousands of existing iPhone owners that don’t purchase the new hardware often say they’ll wait a few weeks before updating, which is purposely to see the expected bugs fixed. Now that iOS 6 has arrived with problems for certain users, the patient people will say, “I told you so” and are waiting for the iOS 6.1 update. If you have updated an older iPhone to iOS 6 and have a number of problems, then you could always downgrade although this will require a jailbreak to do so as explained in this article, which should be considered at your own risk. Hit the comments with your iOS 6 problems, if you have any that is.

Apple On iPhone 5 Purple Flare: You’re Holding It Wrong October 8, 2012 By Anna Peel valuewalk.com Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s latest creation, the iPhone 5, has proven to be a bit of a disappointment, thanks to a few poorly designed features. One of those features happened to be the camera. Some iPhone 5 users have reported seeing purple flares, which appear in the pictures. Apple recently acknowledged the camera problem and offered a solution, unfortunately the solution was less than satisfactory for most people. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) shared their solution on their support page, they also mentioned that it’s a problem that is not unique to their sixth generation smartphone. Here is brief report the company shared: Symptoms: A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture. Resolution: Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect. The problem with the solution? Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) isn’t addressing the problem as a defect, and instead they are placing the blame by telling iPhone users that they’re aiming their camera wrong. Whether this issue effects all iPhone 5 cameras or just some, remains to be seen. For now, iPhone 5 users may have to wait to see if Apple follows up with a better solution. Those who’ve been waiting before purchasing the sixth generation Apple smartphone, may want to hold off the purchase for at least a little while longer, or at least until all of the phone’s glitches are solved. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has missed the mark with this last iPhone, but that doesn’t mean that they’ve lost their touch. I think this is an opportunity for the company to show everyone they can easily bounce back up from almost every glitch.
