No iPhone For 64-Bit Windows

Posted by kdawson on from the very-fine-print dept.

Mizled writes "After buying a new iPhone yesterday and bringing it home to sync and activate it, I found out that Windows 64-bit is not supported. Neither XP 64-bit nor Vista 64-bit works with the iPhone. I called the Apple support line and the rep said I needed to downgrade my computer from a 64-bit operating system. I also posted about my concerns on the Apple iPhone discussion forums, but my post was quickly removed."

    the rep said I needed to downgrade my computer

    Look on the bright side, he could have told you needed to upgrade to OSX.

      I thought by downgrade he did mean switch to OSX.

    wow - I've never actually seen someone use "through" for "threw." I've seen the opposite - but you've correctly spelled the longer, incorrect, homophone. Congratulations sir.

    Or buy a phone that doesn't make you jump through hoops to use it? I can't believe you're actually saying people should use kludges just to use a phone. Amazing.

    It's not just a phone, it's the iPhone. Apple fans queued overnight to get one. Some dude sold his corneas on eBay just to get the $500. He can't see for shit anymore unless he holds it a few inches from his face, but he's got his iPhone and he growls at people like a dog when they try to take it away.

    You've got to be more careful. Apple fans monitor these forums. What you posted may get you bitten by some blind fanatic.
