Hi About 5 days ago I upgraded the OS on my iPhone 4 to ios7
What a silly mistake that was! 😠 And I am told I cannot downgrade to ios 6 at all.
I've been using a third party battery pack for the last year that only cost me £30.00 and its been working fine up untill the OS upgrade! then it would not charge up.
I thought Oh well a years not bad for £30.00 as the Apple battery is about £100.00 and my last one lasted 2 years. So I went and bought a new third party Battery, but when I plug it into my charger it doesnt charge it up.
So I returned to the shop and they fitted one that had already been charged. But when I plug the apple charger into the phone I get a message saying that some third party accessories are not supported and it will not charge the battery.
The other point is that you cannot go to your local high Street and just buy an Apple battery for your phone you have to go to an Apple Centre my nearest Centre is 30 miles away. I was caught out like this when on Holiday in Corfu, Greece, nowhere could I get a battery for my iPhone 4, I was told it had to be sent to Athens to have one fitted at an outlandish price. And now with the new IOS 7 I can't even use a third party battery, this really is totally unaceptable.
1) There should have been a warning to problems with upgrading
2) There should be a way for those that have been duped into upgrading to IOS 7 to downgrade to IOS 6.
3) It seems after reading these posts that even if you have an Apple battery there are a lot of problems with battery drain etc.
I must say that after years of being an Apple Loyal Customer I'm considering buying an Adroid Smart Phone.
Has anyone found a work around regarding the third party battery Issues?
