The Apple Iphone 4G Blogs

(CNN) — It all sounds eerily familiar. A new iPhone. Massive sales. Then, an apparent glitch that, while it doesn’t affect everyone, is prevalent enough to irk customers and catch the eyes of tech journalists everywhere.

Poor battery life on the iPhone 4S, released on October 14 to great fanfare and record sales, has been the new model’s Achilles’ heel in the minds of many users.

While complaints about the perceived problem haven’t reached the fevered pitch that last year’s iPhone 4 release saw about its so-called “death grip” problem, they don’t seem to be going away.

There were, of course, the expected number of early-adopter quibbles with the phone: from troubles with new carrier Sprint, to a sometimes slow-moving camera, to limits on the voice-activated Siri “personal assistant” outside the United States.

Glitch will make iPhone alarms late Monday

(CNN) — Not forgetting Sunday morning’s time change is hard enough.

But Apple iPhone users in the United States must also remember to delete and then reset their phone’s alarm clock — otherwise they may be an hour late for work on Monday morning.

A glitch in the iPhone’s operating system will cause recurring weekday alarms not to ring on time on Monday morning because of the end of Daylight Saving Time, which occurs at 2 a.m. on Sunday in the United States.

The phone’s alarm app doesn’t recognize the time change and will ring an hour late if users don’t go into the program and manually reset the alarms.

It’d be an understatement to say that this has been a terrible week for Apple, and we haven’t even reached the halfway point.

On Monday, Consumer Reports dealt a devastating blow to the iPhone 4 when it declined to recommend the device to consumers due to the antenna reception problem.

Consumer Reports concluded from its tests that cell reception is indeed lost if you cover up the small gap between the two metal bands on the bottom left corner (as it’s facing you) of the phone. The media quickly picked up the story.

Tuesday wasn’t any better for the tech giant. Consumer Reports slammed Apple for not providing a fix to customers at no extra cost. Some have even suggested that a recall was imminent — an endeavor that would cost the company $1.5 billion.
