Pop Ups on iPhone

I like my iPhone, but Siri broke a few updates ago and has yet to return. It was nice being able to ask the score of a football game while I was busy. Now I have to search manually like a sucker.
Apple is well known for exceptional customer service. This is not normal behavior. Go into your Apple Store I'm sure the genius bar(help desk) there would fix it for you.
 
Of course its worth the debate if not and the apple camp was to acquiesce people might assume android and Microsoft before them were the equal of Apple but only cheaper. In which case if not for Apple because there is no value in it we would not have Windows we would be in a command line typing instead of dragging and dropping. We would not a have desktop publishing industry. Video would not have evolved as there would be no QuickTime. USB would never have evolved to current speeds as FireWire or Thunderbolt would not exist to push it along. You would still have your Sony Walkman but no iPod. Yes crack berries may still be the rage but no smartphone. Not to mention it's an American company we should be proud off.
I have to ask if this was a Freudian slip. Since Apple is one of the worst offenders of moving money off shore to prevent paying taxes.
The new Oxfam report shows that Apple holds the most money offshore of any major U.S. company, at $181 billion.

Also you also know that Google who developed the Android platform is also a US company. (For the record they ship money overseas as well)
Also the term American Company has traditionally been reserved for those that create jobs in America. Not companies that ship them overseas to China.
The Apple home computer not at all. After only one generation, all the Apple manufacturing jobs in America disappeared, as the work of building and assembling the machines was turned over to laborers in sweatshops in China and other countries. Jobs that should have provided employment for Americans for decades to come were terminated.

So if they do not pay their due taxes and move all the jobs that could help Americans overseas. How exactly are they American company that benefits the American economy? that being said Motorola was the last Company to Manufature phones in the US. So it is not a reason to not buy them but it is also not a reason to buy them.
 
as long as we're on the subject of iphones and the app...I don't like how I have to find the link at the top of the "old" forum to get to the current forum..it was much easier when we had the extra app to open and post in...just my 2 cents

Just book mark the new link. All the links to the new forum should be updated on the main site.

Come on Jar Head you and I both know you’re being disingenuous here.

First of, Apple employs a ton of workers in the US. You know that. That should be self-evident.
And many of those are good paying jobs including manufacturing and design and employees at Apple retail and business and education consultants.

In Shift of Jobs, Apple Will Make Some Macs in U.S.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/07/technology/apple-to-resume-us-manufacturing.html?_r=0

About the sweat shops, yes that happens but first apple does not owns those factories but Apple has long had programs that attempt to limit the abuses. Unlike Samsung and others:

As for taxes we all know Apple is not the only one doing this. What apple did was actually sanctioned by Ireland and they(Ireland) does not want the money the EU saids apple should pay. Personally I think all these companies should pay more in taxes but why would you single out Apple? And Apple has indicated they would like to repatriate the cash.

ANY WAY ALMOST GAME TIME GO BIG RED!!!!!
 
I have shut off iPhone ads. Let me know in this thread if you still have problems.
 



I know you keep lumping Samsung and iPhone together ... but the truth is, there are many types of Samsung phones. Not all are more expensive.

And only one model is the potential cause of fires -- not all Androids, not all Samsung phones.

And regarding malware ... you are correct ... Androids are more vulnerable. The reason is simple. The Android operating system has always been made customizable for the user (unlike the iPhone). Many IT savvy people, in particular, have appreciated this customization ability that the Androids offer. But it does come with a trade-off. Apple maintains tighter control over their phones, and thus less risk for cyber attack (but not no risk).

To each, their own, when it comes to smartphones. I really don't care who prefers what. There are advantages and disadvantages to both -- which is why both Android and iPhones exist. Not worth the continual debate of "my phone is better than your phone."
There have now been reports of a galaxy 7 edge catching on fire as well.
