Apple is facing a lawsuit for not telling users about the amount of memory required by its flagship operating system.The complaint alleges that it takes up so much space that far less than advertised is left for people to store their own data. Apple has yet to issue any official comment on the lawsuit. The lawsuit is seeking millions of dollars in damages for those using Apple devices facing the storage squeeze. Pretty exagerated case imo, but still they do have a brutal point to the case, we probably get to see this one ending up in apples favor any ways post your opinions & rants & android FTW comments down beloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeee..

Version 8.2 of Apple's iOS mobile operating system could launch as soon as Monday with new and improved health features in tow. That's the same day the company is expected to unveil more details on its Apple Watch. The maker of the iPhone and iPad mobile gadgets was close to releasing iOS 8.2 to the public earlier, blog Boy Genius Report said on Thursday, but instead decided to push out one final build to employees and testers. The change log for that build reveals several new features and enhancements in the health department as well as a host of bug fixes, according to BGR. The Apple Watch faces an increasingly competitive market already crowded with devices from other players. To entice a wide range of buyers, Apple designed its first wearable as both a smartwatch and a health and fitness monitor. So the health features baked into iOS 8 need to be solid if Apple hopes to capture the fitness crowd. Based on the change log, the new and improved health features in iOS 8.2: add the ability to select the unit of measurement for body temperature, weight, height, distance and blood glucose, improve stability when dealing with large amounts of data, include the ability to add and visualize workout sessions from third-party apps, address an issue that may have prevented users from adding a photo in Medical ID, fix units for vitamins and minerals, fix an issue where health data wouldn't refresh after changes in data source order, fix an issue where some graphics showed no data values, and add a privacy setting that enables turning off tracking of steps, distance and flights climbed. But iOS 8.2 is also designed as a bug squasher. Life hasn't exactly been easy for Apple's iOS 8 since it launched last September. The initial version carried a few bugs that were supposed to be resolved a week later in iOS 8.0.1. But that edition came with even more bugs, prompting Apple to quickly pull it and launch 8.0.2. Since then Apple has rolled out versions 8.1, 8.1.2 and 8.1.3, all with some enhancements and bug fixes. The bugs and multiple releases may account for the sluggish adoption of iOS 8, which has trailed that of its predecessor but is finally up to 75 percent of all devices that visited the App Store as of last Monday. According to BGR, the bug fixes: address an issue in Maps that prevented navigating to some favorite locations, address an issue where the last word in a quick reply message wasn't autocorrected, fix an issue where duplicate iTunes purchased content could prevent iCloud restore from completing, resolve an issue where some music or playlists didn't sync from iTunes to the Music app, fix an issue where deleted audiobooks sometimes remained on the device, resolve an issue that could prevent call audio from routing to car speakers while using Siri Eyes Free, fix a Bluetooth calling issue where no audio is heard until the call is answered, fix a timezone issue where Calendar events appear in GMT, address an issue that caused certain events in a custom reoccurring meeting to drop from Exchange calendar, fix a certificate error that prevented configuring an Exchange account behind a third-party gateway, fix an issue that could cause an organizer's Exchange meeting notes to be overwritten, and resolve an issue that prevented some Calendar events from automatically showing as "busy" after accepting an invite. The update also promises greater stability for Mail, Music, the Flyover feature in Maps, VoiceOver reliability, and Connectivity with Made for iPhone Hearing Aids.

My friend has an ipad that has a password on it. he forgot the password and has no computer to sync it to so we're using mine. since it's never been synced before it asks for us to do something on the ipad before we can restore it. but we can't do that because we don't know the password, is there any way to restore the ipad without having to type in the password at all?

You all probably heard about the Celebrity Nude Scandal when iCloud accounts were comprimised around 2-3 weeks ago. Now, there is a reported bug in iOS 8 and OS X. First it was heartbleed, but now there is a possibility of a bigger BASH bug. http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/national-international/277016451.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_CTBrand iOS 8 when it first came out introduced a lot of bugs, lower battery life, slower WiFi, and even higher crashes. Then Apple quickly worked on an update and released iOS 8.0.1. This came in with even MORE bugs and some users are reporting Touch ID no longer works and they can even no longer get service on their phone. Many are recommending not to update, including trusted reviewers such as MKBHD. So basically, those who paid $1000.00 for an iPhone 6 Plus and waited tirelessly in lines basically have a giant iTouch now. There is a way to revert back to the bug-filled iOS 8 but require quite a bit of technical knowledge, which most of the iOS community generally doesn't have. These phones were created to give an easy and smooth user experience, but instead is causing a lot of frustration. http://www.techtimes.com/articles/16256/20140924/users-complain-of-ios-8-problems-shorter-battery-life-slow-wi-fi-crash-rate.htm https://www.yahoo.com/tech/apple-pulls-ios-8-0-1-update-that-caused-some-users-to-98321257444.html https://www.yahoo.com/tech/apple-releases-ios-8-0-1-fix-but-users-report-major-98319076134.html http://news.yahoo.com/hundreds-users-reporting-serious-bugs-ios-8-0-172321887.html?pt=BureoF2GVB/ On top of all that, there were also received complaints of the iPhone 6 Plus being bent in peoples pockets and sometimes even the iPhone 6! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/breaking-fad-new-iphone-bends-pants-pockets-owners-article-1.1950696 http://money.msn.com/top-stocks/post--users-claim-iphone-6-plus-gets-the-bends?ocid=ansmony11 http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2014/09/24/evening-news-roundup/16159079/ There have been claims that things like this happen to all phones of that thiness and height. But, there has been solid proof that it doesn't.

Let's have a moment of silence for all the microwaved iPhones...

One particular quirk, as just discovered by one eagle-eyed beta user, definitely advocates user privacy in that in randomizes your device’s MAC address before you connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot, which also serves as a kick in the teeth for companies whose entire business is based on logging and tracking this information. When a device running iOS 7 or earlier goes out looking for a connection, it exposes your device’s MAC address. With some companies strategically placing hotspots in all manner of places – including trash cans – to get a hold of your data and log where you’re headed, iOS 8 fights your corner by obscuring your MAC address with a random, spoof address that periodically changes. This means that not only is your real MAC address being protected, but these entities that thrive off the information will not be able to trace you, and given how accustomed we’ve become to having our rights waived in pandering to the corporate interest You can see why some businesses have capitalized on this information divulged by your device’s straying signal. After all, it’s a good way of keeping track of, say, how many smartphone users are entering the vicinity – particularly if your product is of interest to this group – but with iOS 8, those utilizing this signal will have to look into alternative strategies. So, among the many other less prominent features of iOS 8, Apple has now rolled out MAC address spoofing. Given how much of a vested interest Apple shows in protecting the privacy of its users, it’s not all that surprising, but nonetheless, it will be gratefully received by consumers and conversely, met with dismay by those in the field of data tracking and marketing.
