Mark, Pino: I have not upgraded my 4s yet because of the map issue. What other goodies did you get if you upgraded the operating system?

Henners, I don't think you really have a grasp of how NFC file transfer works. Probably this video gives you a better idea.Quote:

It transferred a 17 MB video file in maximum 3 seconds.
iPhone 5 doesn't have the NFC tech, so the first option is obviously not possible.
Does the iOS 6 have Wi-Fi direct?
A recent experience has me puzzled. Hopefully some of the Apple users here can enlighten me.
Why can't Apple provide a standard mini-USB charging port on their phones? Why does it have to be these overly complicated connectors?
We were at the beach recently, and one of my friends forgot his iPhone charger back home. The rest of us had different phones, but a lot of mini USB chargers, which obviously he couldn't use, so he had to keep his phone switched off until he found a charger. Which was difficult to find, because surprisingly enough there weren't any genuine Apple stores nearby. So, he bought a cheap, fake one, which, surprise-surprise, wouldn't charge the phone properly. So, he couldn't use his phone all the while he was there, until he flew back home.
Now they have the lightning connector which has some authentication chip inside, which makes it even harder to find a cheaper alternative.
Why can't Apple embrace mini-USBs, and why do you have to install iTunes on every freakin computer to be able to transfer files?
Shouldn't it be about making things easier for people?
What's the new sharing feature on iOS 6 that you mentioned before?Quote:

This has already been overcome and alternatives are already being manufactured. It was never going to be rocket science copying the chip. Adaptors and leads are being sold around £4.95.Quote:

You can share contacts and always have been able to do so by sending a business card style message.
Now I think you're deliberately misunderstanding for comic effect.Quote:
If you have an app on your iPhone the chances are the other iPhone user can download it themselves from the app store, so sharing is not really needed. If I had spent 3 or 4 quid on an app, I wouldn't wish to give it to somebody for free anyway. That's just me though maybe? :)
So sorry to hear that Henners.
