These both exist.
In Mail, tap Edit in the navigation bar on the Mailboxes screen, and All Sent should be toward the bottom of the top list. Check it and you should be set.
In Photos, select the photo you wish to rotate, tap Edit in the navigation bar, and you should see an option at the bottom of the screen to rotate counterclockwise 90º.
Nobody said they didn't adjust the design as necessary for each foundry.
As for dropping out because of low yields, it hardly matters which side gave up first. As Samsung continued to report to Apple that yields were low, Apple at any point could say "Never mind, we're going with someone else", or else at any point Samsung could say that they were not going to get the yields up to a level acceptable to Apple so they're going to cut their losses and withdraw from the bid.
If the customer really is paying by the wafer then the customer will be critically interested in yields, and obviously won't commit to a contract if the yields aren't satisfactory. The foundry knows that better than anyone so of course they might drop out if they know they'll have no chance of getting the business in the end.
more cores != more powerful
cores let you split up the computation to run more threads at once but the application and the OS has to be coded to take advantage of it and it depends on the workload
compared to modern ARM chips, xbox 360 and PS3 aren't very powerful. I think the A7 was as fast or faster than the xbox 360. the lack of RAM and storage is holding up the level of depth for game creation
Could Apple conceivably buy TSMC? I'm sure there would be objections from opponents of the company, presumably on the grounds that they shouldn't be allowed to buy companies that would be so useful to them.
However, their principle competitor (Samsung) has the same advantage as they would if they had such chip manufacturing capabilities. In other words, as the purpose of anti-trust litigation is to promote competition by preventing companies from having unfair advantages, it's counterintuitive to think that Apple should be sued for trying to offset the same competitive advantage that is possessed by their principle rival.

Hi, I thought I'd leave these tips and I hope they help.
I can't speak for all attachment types, but you can definitely save PDFs. I've personally saved them into iBooks, Kindle, and DropBox, but I see there are also options for OneDrive (SkyDrive) and Box.
You can also rotate photos. Just view the photo and hit the edit button in the upper right to reveal the edit tools. Rotate is the first button on the left in the tools.
Yeah so if you have a meeting or an interview, the way you look won't affect how well you express yourself. But I'm sure nobody will go to a meeting in pyjamas.
The first impression is always important, even for a company.
Some of the basics that I was talking about that are missing after almost a decade of iPhone are:
-better/more parental/security areas...such as allowing me to view my pictures but disable the Trash button...or include some kind of black list for dirty websites (since Apple already bans all sorts of stuff in the App store)...or offer the ability to force the email system to ask me for the password every ______ hours/days/weeks/power cycles/whatever.
Are you speaking of having multiple users using the same phone, but with different permissions? And what reasoning is there to disable the Trash button for photos? Are you checking up on someone? If so, maybe that person isn't either responsible or mature enough for an iPhone.
And I completely disagree with anything constantly asking for my password. Seems counterproductive from a usability standpoint
Multiple users for the iPad, single user for the iPhone...and it wouldn't be constantly asking for a pw on the iPhone...just every ____ days/weeks as I stated...some kind of user setting. Parents, like me, don't want our kids accidentally sending an email (which can be done about 12 different ways on the iPhone) while I let them use the iPhone for 10 mins to look at pictures or watch a funny Youtube.
-better history/caching control of Safari...it's really weak that it can't remember what website I was at 10 days ago
I'm not sure which version you are using, but on my iPhone 5 with IOS 7, my Safari goes back 2 months.
I am on iOS 5.x
-better/longer record of phone calls...I believe the max is 50 received calls and 50 dialed calls. Seriously? 16-64GB of storage and this is the best Apple can do?
Again, what version are you on? I have over 100 of each on mine going back over 2 months.
-better Airplay integration...such as DIRECTLY to the other Airplay device and NOT over a network/router
That would be a good addition
-the ability to EASILY get my 1080 videos off the iPhone AND at 1080...ludicrous that I record at 1080 but when I push to Youtube it's 720 or worse...and that I must jump through all kinds of hoops to get the video off my iPhone and onto computer...it should be a simple feature in iTunes.
Why not just copy them from Explorer? Once you connect your iPhone to your computer, you can open it just like any other folder, and copy the files to wherever you wish
There are problems with using Explorer....1)it does not work with videos larger than ~600MB...this is a well-documented problem and a PITA workaround. 2)End users should NOT have to use Windows Explorer to get their videos off their iPhone...iTunes should do it. Allllll those Apple promos/commercials about the wonderful video and how nifty things can be created on the iPhone...but....you can't get it off the phone in perfect quality. Easily. Lovely.
-the ability to send longer/better quality videos by email....Hotmail, Yahoo, Google, and others provide a 25MB attachment size limit while Apple is still holding onto its 5MB-is-the-largest-we-can-possibly-send-because-it's-1993 motto.
I guess you have an unlimited data plan. Mine counts both uploading or downloading against me, so I would not even think of sending something that large. Plus it would take forever. However, to each their own.
Sending a 10-25MB file in email, these days, takes minutes on wifi or even a decent cellular connection....if that. Yes, to each their own.
-the ability to store, locally, in some kind of folder my email attachments....PDFs, music, etc.
While I understand that some people seem to want control over this (it's a Windows mind-set), Apple takes care of it for you. I think if they could make it bulletproof for the average user, they would probably add that capability. Maybe in a future IOS release?
Apple does not take care of this otherwise I wouldn't be asking for it.
iOS does magically cache some emails so that they are available offline...but not all emails. Moreover, there are plenty of docs I receive in email that I would simply like to store on my iPhone for 100% offline retrieval and not having to worry about networks or, as you said earlier, wasting bandwidth by re-downloading/re-caching all the time.-I love the All Inboxes but why isn't there an All Sent box so I can easily see all the emails I've sent from my various email accounts?
Already answered
I have not found this...must be later than iOS 5.x
-An editing feature of photos...so that if the iPhone accidentally mixes up the orientation of a photo (which it ALWAYS does when you take a photo looking straight down at the floor), you can just flip the orientation.
Can't talk to this one, as I don't edit my photos on my phone. I edit them on my laptop!
You cannot change the orientation of iPhone created photos on any software program that I know of....I researched this problem for hours.
----------
Thanks to you and others with the similar reply!
1)I am on iOS 5.0.1
2)The Photos feature exists
3)The All Sent does not exist.
I doubt I am going to upgrade to iOS7I'm not. But when a consumer knows that they make a part for something that he/she is buying, the feeling that a quality part is being used matters. Since we don't get a peek inside their factories, the logo is the only image of the company that we get. It may not really matter in functionality. But that's not the point of marketing.
----------
Why? Have you come across apps that would be significantly better with more than 1GB RAM? Are there apps that can't be made until there's more than 1 GB RAM? I'm not being facetious. I really do want to know specifically how my iPhone usage would be significantly improved by more than 1GB of RAM.
With an endorsement from apple, they have all the credentials required for any hypothetical consumer..I seriously doubt any iPhone or iPad buyer really even knows who or where his A5,6 or 7 SOC is made..or would be able to discern that the A8 is not made by the same maker as the A7.
The customer always pays for the silicon in one way or another. The customer is also inconvenienced by low yields in that they are not able to rapidly scale or ramp up production if demand increases. Additionally, there is the risk that the cause of the low yields may adversely influence ability to increase clock speed or other performance/reliability factors.
Obviously, low yields result in higher costs which ultimately affect retail pricing.
----------
Yea, but the customer cares about price, reliability and performance.
So now you are equating a persons appearance to a company logo. You avoid buying a product because of the way a company logo looks?

You have the advantage of me, sir. I have not yet used an Android device other than during very brief demos.
My frustration with iOS comes from having had a great deal more trouble with it over a number of devices that should never have happened.
In particular, Ive should go because he is focused on the shallow, superficial and meaningless aspects of the OS. Crayola colors and "transparency". Memory management and memory leaks continue to plague iOS resulting in it being a crash-o-matic with anything other than minimal use. An associated failure of design is that the iOS device does not revert to virtual memory ("disk out") when it runs out of RAM. If, for example, you have an iOS device with plenty of storage space available, it is not accessed by the OS. The OS simply crashes the Apps. There is no way to clear memory other than to restart the iOS device (sound like a PC? When in doubt, restart.) A real OS does this. OS X does.
The "native" apps (Safari, Mail, etc) are a part of the OS itself. If they somehow become corrupt (an all too frequent problem) one has to do a complete reinstallation of the iOS and you must set the device up as a new device rather than restore from a backup. That means that you loose your App organization and folders. This is a major problem if you have more than a minimal number of Apps installed. (I normally have several hundred Apps installed.) The reason for this is that the corrupt version of the native app is a part of the backup and if you restore from the backup you are reinstalling the corrupt App and defeating the purpose of the new installation of iOS in the first place. You simply can not imagine how many hours and days are lost getting things back to somewhere near where they were in the first place.
It is sadly apparent that the iOS team has little, if any, OS X experience or they would have, for example, had an integrated password manager in iOS from about iOS alpha 0.5. Even with the advent of iCloud based Keychain for iOS, it does not offer the functionality of the real version of Keychain. (1Password has been indispensable and remains so.)
Now you are probably asking yourself whether I have bothered to tell Apple about these problems? The answer is yes, many times and in many ways over quite a few years. The system is simply not responsive and not competent I am very sorry to say. I have to conclude that there is little, if any, likelihood of the system changing or the problems being resolved.
The Apple "ecosystem" is supposedly all about device integration. If I move away from a part of the ecosystem, the question then becomes why I should remain with any of it. I do not approach that prospect lightly. It is not a change I want to make, but is one I may be forced into by Apple's lack of competence.
Regards.
----------
Agreed. Yet another example of the iOS development team not benefiting from the experience of using a real OS.
So far as the hardware itself goes, just how is it that Apple can not understand that many users want a micro SD card system for additional storage of movies, music, games, photos or whatever and figure out a way to implement it? I say figure out a way to implement it because an Apple official once told me that some of their business/government customers did not want SD card capability. Really? Is it really that hard to have an option delete for those customers, particularly as they tend to place large orders? Apple management is not as good as many people give it credit for.
Depends on where you are at...
Usually 64-bit is not needed under the bridge, but everywhere else it is quite useful.
So you can stick with 32-bit.

Which is for apple to decide (Quality of the end product or that of the developer to meet it) and has nothing to do with the logo of a company (towards which the comment was made)...
I suspect they already do this via power/clock gating and DVFS (dynamic voltage and frequency scaling). I've not seen confirmation though.
Yes, ImgTec calls them "clusters". It's possible they'll do a speed boost with the shrink or do a four cluster variant in a GX6450 type solution. Time table is aggressive though.
Indeed. Nvidia's K1 is even wider than A7 though, so it seems there's still room to grow.
Apple has doubled RAM at least every other generation since they increased 3GS to 256MB. I expect 2GB in iPhone 6.
Not so. Here is the original quote to which I replied.
