Thanks for the heads up as I'm not sure if I ever caught that. I put in her serial number and even though it was made during the proper time frame (we bought them at launch) it doesn't recognize her number as being affected.

If they don't come out with a 4" updated model then I supposed I'll get get her the 5S for cheap this autumn and hope that they come to their senses at some point in the future. Luckily she doesn't depend on her battery as much any more. She used to be on the road all the time. For now she gets by ok. She even wishes they would bring back the 3.5" model, haha.
One of the main reasons why she wants a smaller phone is because it fits in her pocket. Why doesn't she carry a purse? Because with a purse it's hard to feel the vibrations. Why doesn't she turn on the ringer? Because she runs her own daycare and loud sounds would wake up the kids during nap time, but she still has to take calls and texts from parents, confirm appointments at doctors, respond to email from our accountant, whatever. She doesn't want to have to carry a bag around to carry her phone. Second of all her hands aren't that big. I can sympathize as I have trouble wielding my Plus so I'll be downsizing. I can see her having similar problems reaching across the screen with her thumbs. She understandably gets mad that Apple hooked her into this ecosystem that she loves (iCloud, reminders, iTunes music, iTunes movies, Photo Stream of our kid shared with our families, the syncing of all her stuff between her iPhone and iPad, as well as her account on my rMBP that she occasionally uses) and then Apple pulled a bait and switch and stopped selling devices that she can use. That fit in her hands and pockets. I gave her my iPad Mini with a keyboard case to run her business stuff like Office so maybe she just needs a dumb phone and the iPad. One example though is how integrated we are. We have shared grocery lists, which is super convenient, but she's not going to carry around her iPad at the grocery store. And the iPhone has a better camera than the iPad. It just sucks for her all around what is happening with the demise of smaller devices. At first I thought she was being unreasonable but now I empathize.
Comments like this is why I hate you people on the internet... you know what he means but you have to play stupid... it's not the "newest" iPhone with all the newest features etc. But of course it needs to be spelled out for you... ugh... I hate you.
