iPhone 4S Issues -  A few iPhone 4S owners have been complaining about a short battery life on the recently released iPhone 4s model.  According to a statement released by Apple, there have been a “few bugs” that have attributed to the short battery life.  In response to the new battery issues Apple said “we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks.”  We’re hopeful Apple will have this release shortly and iPhone 4s owner’s can find some relief.

Another recent issue with the new iPhone 4s is the voice assistant feature “Siri”.  It seems that a network outage was the cause of “Siri” being unavailable on Thursday.  There has been no statement from Apple regarding the “Siri” outage.  Looks like you’ll have to forgo the new feature for now if your one of those effected until the problem is resolved.

The battery draining issue coupled with the “Siri” network outage is frustrating to say the least.  However,  the iPhone 4s still gets our #1 vote for being the best smart phone on the market today.  With a 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and Apple A5 chipset the iPhone 4s is the most powerful phone available.  Some other nice features of the iPhone 4s are its 8-megapixel camera and capabilities to record 1080p videos.  The new iCloud technology lets you wirelessly connect to iTunes.  Did we mention that you can use the iPhone 4s on the CDMA as well as the GSM networks?  For people that travel, particularly overseas, you won’t have an issue using your iPhone as some countries use either CDMA or GSM but not both in some cases.

Hopefully,  you haven’t had any accidents with your new iPhone 4s yet.  If so,  we will soon be adding an array of iPhone 4s repairs at low-cost affordable rates.   As always, we are striving to be the #1 mail-in repair service in the nation.  Please contact us today if you have any questions about an iPhone repair or iPhone screen repair.

The New iPhone 5 Reportedly Lost

With the release of the iPhone 5 around the corner,  Apple is doing what they can to keep the new iPhone model under wraps until its official release.  Unfortunately,  it seems as though one of Apple’s own employee’s has lost the new iPhone as such is being reported.

The Apple employee strolled into a bar in the San Francisco area with the most sought after piece of technology to be released and reportedly walked out without the device.  How can this be so?  Was money a motivator or was this a careless mistake that could prove to be costly for the multi-billion dollar tech company?

Apple determined to retrieve the iPhone 5 model began an investigation.  According to CNET,  Apple tracked the phone electronically to a single-family home in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood.  When the home was investigated they spoke with a man there who admitted to being at the same bar of the Apple employee the same evening the iPhone 5 went lost.   He denied knowing anything about the device.

Well, it appears from the reports that Apple was able to retrieve their yet to be released iPhone.  With so many employees working for Apple you have to think that they would take better precautions and keep the device more secure.  Is this some kind of publicity stunt?  Doubtful, since the iPhone has gained so much popularity over the past few years.

The iPhone 5 is reportedly to be released on October 7th on the AT&T, Verizon and for the first time on the Sprint network.  It is estimated that 1 in 2 Americans own a smart phone with the iPhone being the leader in the smart phone arena.  The iPhone 5 is rumored to offer a rounded back and a larger screen as well as some new features that were not offered in the the last generation of iPhones.  We are waiting anxiously for the release of the new iPhone 5 and will have the repair at or official website.
