iPhone 5 Deactivated After Every iOS Software Update
For the second time in a row, the iOS software update caused my 64GB iPhone 5 to have its phone service (through Sprint) deactivated. This time, in the process of backing up and restoring my iPhone (which a rep from Sprint advised me to do the first time), iTunes didn't tell me that the back-up had failed until I tried to restore from it. I had to restore from an earlier back-up, causing me to lose a month's worth of text messages and other valuable data.
A rep at Sprint told me that "this is just gonna happen," meaning every time Apple updates the iOS, my phone is going to be deactivated, and I am going to have to spend an hour or more backing up and restoring my phone, not to mention sucking up 50+ GB of memory on my hard drive.
My girlfriend has an iPhone 4S, and she does not have this problem. I find it hard to believe that the newer model would have such a drastic flaw. iPhone 5 users out there - what do you know about this?
Thanks,
Noah
