Apple Acknowledges iPhone 4S Battery Problems

Posted by samzenpus on from the our-bad dept.

bdking writes "After more than two weeks of complaints from frustrated iPhone 4S owners, Apple finally has admitted problems with fast-draining batteries in the new devices. The company blames it on bugs in iOS 5 and promises a fix 'in a few weeks.' But Apple should have spoken up sooner, if only to acknowledge the issue."

    Seriously man it's been two weeks. There are Android updates you can't even get in Belgium because the operators don't give a shit. Now that's problematic. Waiting a couple of weeks ? Not so much.

    According to the NRA, a magazine and a clip are the same thing.

    CLIP
    A device for holding a group of cartridges. Semantic wars have been fought over the word, with some insisting it is not a synonym for "detachable magazine." For 80 years, however, it has been so used by manufacturers and the military. There is no argument that it can also mean a separate device for holding and transferring a group of cartridges to a fixed or detachable magazine or as a device inserted with cartridges into the mechanism of a firearm becoming, in effect, part of that mechanism.

    So please, stop correcting people who say "clip" instead of "magazine". You're wrong and you need to give it up.
