Apple lied :o

[Snickerzz]

During WWDC Apple showed off iOS 7 and what it could do. One of the new things being unlimited apps in a folder. Well, i put it to the test and found out that there's a limitation of 170 apps in a folder, if i tried adding more my device would freeze for a second then the apple logo would appear for a split second then continue working normally. Keep in mind this is a beta though :P

A company whose success is based on marketing lied to its customers!

 

Oh, the shock will send the world into a tail-spin into the Sun.

Like its possible to actually have unlimited or you can go back to very limited... its up to you.

I guess 170 is a reasonable amount. From what I've seen the beta seems really slow. Not laggy but animations take ages to finish as apps load. Not sure if it's just because it's still in Beta or because they made it that way to hide the lack of performance due to proper multitasking (not sure if it actually is multitasking as android does but that's what Apple said).

Solution to anything ever related to iPhones: do the smart thing and get an Android phone.

yea it is, if you have that many apps well, you get 2 folders XD and i havent noticed lag as far as animations, they seem as long as the previous ones

why do you have 170 apps just  lying around?

yes that ^^

More of a marketing strategy than a bald-faced lie. 170 apps in a folder is effectively unlimited; most people have that many in total combining all folders. The odds of anyone actually doing it in real world usage is almost 0. Same goes for the guy who used up 77TB in a month.

yea i know, i can see why its not actually unlimited :P i just wanted to see how far i could go XD

[GoodBytes]

No no no.. it's Unlimited. Don't be confused. In fact, they did the star sign (*) when he said it. You should have watch his finger.

sorry dude, its not a "lie" as you like to say, its that most devises cant have 170 apps on them. And how do you use all of those apps? 

[LAwLz]

170 is basically unlimited for any practical purpose so I think it's OK. If you want some bigger lies from Apple then just look at their old iMac range when they said it had a desktop GPU, but in reality it was a mobile one (they did not have the M after the numbers anywhere on the site), or when they said they used Westmere CPUs in their Mac Pro when it was actually Nehalem. Oh and how can you forget the good old "the iPhone 5 is the thinnest smartphone in the world at 7.6mm". Sounds thin right? Yeah, it's almost as thin as the Motorola Razr at 7.1mm.

 

Those are just some of the instances where Apple flat out lies. There is no denying that those things are lies. Oh and don't get me going on all the times they only show a small piece of the truth, or distorts the truth to make themselves look better.

Lol, made me burst out laughing

 

Good job man! How could they do this to us!?!?!

It's so ironic :)

Not true, on my first smartphone the Galaxy GT-i9000 (aka S1) I had 224 apps. And I would have probably had more if I wouldn't have deleted what I didn't like. Though it's true now I only have about 50-70 on my S2.
