PCWorld Forums: Apple's Ios 6: What We Know - PCWorld Forums

Post your comments for Apple's iOS 6: What We Know here

Please add a mobile cell phone or Crapple newsletter and keep this out of the regular PCW News. Tired of my inbox being polluted with CRAPple stories that I never subscribed to. If I wanted REAL CRAPple news, I would go to Mac World, not PCW.

Well other PC users are interested in news about phones that are primarily used in conjunction with PCs and not Macs, so deal with it or go away.

P.S. I fixed your spelling for you.

My 4S switches between wi-fi and cellular. It takes a second, but then it kicks over to the other. Never had a problem. And Tango destroys Facetime in quality and works between platforms. Facetime is dead to me.

automatic switching between wifi and 3G has always been there ... not sure what you're talking about there...apparently, based on your screenshot, WiFi+cellular only concerns apps having issues with wifi, allowing a temp switch to cellular, while other apps will keep using wifi in the background.

AT&T is charging for whatever they can charge! what a rip off!

You have a 'Bad' rating re reputation here, minus 29. Nice.

Hey dude it's your fault for not opting out of the PCW newsletters. Dude do us a favor and go back and play with your free Android phone and waste you time weeding through all your spam emails instead of bothering us. Because apparently you agree to receive spam from every website and have no clue how to opt out of them.

FYI iOS is better made than Android. Better games, better apps, less malware, less pre-installed crapware and it gets updated more than Android devices. But we all are entitled to our preferences. I've had both Android and iOS, and I will never buy another Android device again. I'd rather have Windows Mobile over Android.

All negative means is people don't like what you have to say. And if you care if your rating is positive or negative then you got issues.

Wow! Is that all the resolution is going to be 1136 x 640? Serious? Oh wait, this ensures that apps scale properly so they don't look like crap liek they do on iPad when you het the 2x button.

File-sharing over BT? Finally! To late for me though Apple. I always jailbreak my device so I could have the feature which is native to the Bluetooth specs. Now you're going to allow it? Thanks Dad!

Wifi/Cellular switch? lol. Every Android phoen I ever had, if I was downloading a file over Wifi and I hop in the car and drive out of range, when the phoen switched to 3G/4G, the download takes a quick pause and then keeps going. Hwoever based on my present settings, downloads are over WiFi only and they pause until I hit a WiFi again.

Facetime over 3G/4G? Not without an unlimited plan.

As far as needing to type the password everytime I want to download an App or song I already paid for? That was always stupid. Its already paid. Why input the obvious for what I already own? Nevcar had to do that on Android or Windows Phone/Mobile.

The things that actually need to be secure on iOS aren't and that thing that don't need it are all locked down. Backward. Though I will update my iPad to iOS 6, I don't see anything I am thrilled about right now, because in one form or another I already have similar capabilities on other devices.

Is that TheTess? The hate mail sender? In the not to distant past you sent me a hate mail because you didn't liek somethign I said, yest you posted that crap above? Wow! Just Wow!

I certainly don't. Because I know in my case its always the same 5 trolling Apple fans who just minus posts even when there is nothing wrong with them.
Doesn't bother me because i will continue to say what I feel and if they have such a problem with it, its their fault for being whiny little children.

Re: 2x iPhone app on iPad - It looks fine to me. The scale is 2x, an ideal multiplier. The first and second gen iPads don't show retina iPhone apps for some reason. Third does.

Re: Wifi/Cell - The article is probably not as clear as it should be on this one. The new feature on iOS 6 detects when the WIFI connection has become useless (i.e. the WIFI network's there but Internet access isn't working) and switches to cellular. iOS has always been able to switch from WIFI to cell when there's no WIF signal at all.

Re: iOS not secure - What's not secure? Sandboxing and encryption make iOS secure. Of course, no OS is immune to exploits until they find a way to avoid poor programming.
