wifi doesn't work with IOS 7

I think you'll have problems moving on, so let me apologize for my post.

It does not work for my Iphone 4S

Dear Apple,

Thanks for fixing a security issue that I dont give a crap about..

PS how about realeasing a patch to fix the more serious issue screwing up most of the 4 and 4s...

\ohhh i understand a problem with the 5 is more important since us poor people have your older product and dont matter..

Apple has one **** of a racket,,, Who ever thought, we can break people phone and then force them to pay us to fix it..

I didnt break my phone, my phone did not break, Apple broke my phone...I will never buy any story that my p\hone happen to break right as i updated.

I just wanted to say, I own (my family owns) an Apple TV, Apple Macbook PRO 2010, Apple Mac desktop 2013, Apple iPad 2, Apple iPhone 4, and finally 2x Apple iPhone 4S's. Check my Apple ID, you'll see that I have all of this crap! After installing iOS 7 on my 4S's one (1) has the WiFi button greyed out (because of that the WiFi won't work and after putting iOS 7 on my iPhone 4 it will no longer sync to iTunes. If these issues are not fixed by this weekend, I will visit the iTunes store and leave them all of my non-working apple equipment. I am fed up with Apple. If my 5 year old doesn't have his iPhone 4 and my wife doesn't have her iPhone 4S, they can't buy apple crap online so it'll save me money.

I live in Killeen TX and my nearest Apple Store is in Austin. I might be giving away two (2) broken iPhones there Saturday.

Bottom line is, I know the sync issue with the iPhone is a deliberate software block, because it refuses to charge connected to my MAC (haven't tried a PC yet but will tomorrow) but it charges with the same cable when plugged into a wall.

I even suspect this WiFi issue is TOTALLY a software purpose driven block intent on getting people to let go of their old devices and spend money with apple to upgrade. Well the problem with that Apple is I want to hand stuff down to my Son and invest in something reliable. When people get a bad taste in their mouths about a product, they move on and avoid what reminds them of that taste. If your products are unreliable, customers go to what's reliable. They spend their money elsewhere.

So long Apple, I won't be buying another one of your products any time soon. You make junk and refuse to support your product.

Back to PC's and Android devices for me. I hear Samsung's the way to go.

Glad I bought only TV shows on my Apple TV and only rented the movies. I haven't built up a library. Games are only a dollar each, I can swallow that cost moving to Galaxy. Thanks for making the decision easy for my family!

Poor Steve Jobs, he must be rolling in his grave

Apple doesn't stand behind their product unless the customer pays them to do so. Since some people are on a two year upgrade cycle within their households and Apple releases a new product every year, Apple wants you to pay them their profit margins as if you were upgrading every year thus making holding onto your old devices just as costly as just getting a new device. An example of this is quitting iTunes support for my Son's "old" (in parenthesis because the word old is subjective and open to interpretation. Is a new car on a dealers lot for three months old? Old is what you have to decide it is). I just bought that iPhone 4, 3 years ago after coming returning from Korea in 2010! My wife's iPhone 4S was just purchased for $399 ten months ago and is a 32gb 4S. I could probably get another one, it might be under warranty, but Apple's don't have removeable storage, is apparently unreliable, and until this last update, just worked, but their products don't for me anymore. So I am moving back to Android, maybe Samsung. We spend a lot of money, but that won't be spent with Apple anymore.

You are right It is a "mistake" is to waste money in APPLE. I had also a MacBook Pro, Ipad 2, Iphone 4S, and there is no way to access to Wi Fi with my 4S. Samsung here I go.

Apple this marketing update does not work.

Bye.

Also experiencing the same issue, "unable to join" message appears for my home network. tried all the resets and suggestion thus far. Pretty disappointed as i'm also one the lucky few thats never had 4s issues until ios7 came. Hopefully someone at apple is reading these.

I have an iPhone 5 and I've had wifi issues since the upgrade.

I could care less about all the whining, but I seriously doubt my problem is hardware related, for two reasons:

1. I can connect to unsecured access points and use them normally.
2. I can connect to 5 Ghz 802.11N networks and use them normally.

My issue is specifically related to non-5 Ghz networks that are secured. In that case, I either can't connect, or when I can, the connection drops immediately.

It's curious that a hypothetical hardware issue would only manifest itself in that context, but not in the others. It seems to me all of the above processes would necessarily utilize the same hardware.

Yes, I'm afraid you have summed up the situation very accurately. Once upon a time I and many others bought Apple because it was a quality product that was built to last - and did last, but now (just like hp and others) Apple would rather cut corners on quality and service, and have you buy a new phone - adding to their profit line but not much else.

The fact that you only get a 90 day warranty on a new phone tells me that not even Apple belives in the longevity of its own product and passes all the risk to the customer. Why do car manufacturers - particularly Japanese give 2, 3 even 5 year warranties? They understand that their customers want quality and reliability - and will guarantee this. Apple doesn't - it's as simnple as that.

I've started to look as Samsung products rather than spend the cash to exchange my iPhone S4 - like you it was bought in summer of 2012 and is now useless becasue the wifi doesn't work. I'm not sure I want to pay the premium any more for quality that is not only a figment of people's imagination and the marketing guys.

If anybody has any thoughts on what Samsung phones would be suitable for a previously loyal Apple buyer, I would love to know.

The Apple has gone wrotten I'm afraid ...

This sounds like Apple trying to make the best of a bad job - it is clear that many iPhone S4's had this problem revealed by the new ios 7.

A professional company that took pride in the quality of its product would exhange without cost and even perhaps offer an upgrade to a better phone ... but not Apple

No, it's not a good offer - it's a greedy company putting profits ahead of pride and quality ...

Nice reply to the previous comment ... 🙂

My thoughts exactly ...

You've got the sums right ... really sickening to see how company's seek to profit from their own mistakes ... particularly one like Apple has joined the rest of the pack in this respect ...

Being frustrated is not in line with company policy ... which is that you should quietly accept their views and pay for a replacement iPhone that was kind of missold to you (vis-a-vis quality) when you bought it ...

Just about to join you 🙂
