I guess apples dies with the founder...


I have the same issues after the update. Calling apple is useless. Calling my telco maxis, and the moronic customer service tells me to google "downgrade iOS 6.1 to 5.1"... Duh...


I did all the rests and restores to no solution... Frustrated. I just took out and put back the sim card with the ip5 on.... And voila... 3G and Edge is back... But now battery drains quite fast. Was at 100% at 9 am and now at 9 pm is at 33%. No browsing nor calls for the day. Just left the 3G on and was on standby.


Is that normal.

Same problem here in Malaysia!! This is biggest disappointment ever had with iOS. Hopefully the apple technicians been notified with our concerns and get this thing be fixed quick!! It's ******** be called smartphone OS whereby their iOS versions were having so many flaws in every updates !!!


Anywhere, any ideas on how to contact apple directly? I mean like send them an email?

A smartphone with no working internet connection is just useless a peace of cheap metal.

APN Settings are correct, resets are useless, downgrade not possible.

This is really a bad situation and it seams, that no one at apple or any big tech news site even recognizes this.

Really disppointing and this is the worst iOS Update ever.
