OP, it sounds like you never sync your phone. You can delete all of your photos on your phone after a sync, same with voice memos.
Try syncing your phone once a day.

You sometimes have valuable things to say. And then you muck it up with over generalizations like the one above which make it hard to take you seriously.
I'm sorry but that's simply not true. My brother and his wife who don't troll the messageboards bombarded me with emails about the proximity sensor. Actually, they didn't even know the term "proximity sensor." They just kept asking me why they would keep muting people etc after they got their iPhone 4s.
Apple screwed up this iPhone release, NO question.
Do you take simple numbers seriously? With 3 million iPhone 4s sold (and that was back in mid-July), an AppleCare complaint rate of 0.55%, and return rate of 1.7%, it doesn't sound like an over-generalization to me. The vast majority of people who have bought the iPhone 4 clearly are very satisfied with the device.
I was referring to your overgeneralization of who was perpetuating the idea that there is an Antenna issue. It's not just tech bloggers or fandroids as you put it.
Yeah. It pretty much is. And the only ones who are still beating the dead horse are the Fandroids and Apple-haters, most everyone else has moved on.
The mainstream media only picked up on the "story" after the tech blogs had been running near-daily articles about it. As I've pointed out, complaint and return rates demonstrate that it was much ado about nothing from day one.
You have no hard data on return rates or complaints. All you have are stats that Apple presented. Surprise surprise. Whether they are truly accurate - no one here can confirm or deny.
Agree with OP about first 3 points. Having to clear the entire history when you just want to delete one freakin call is stupid. Also having to delete pictures one by one only proves a moron is an engineer.
Does apple not have people test things out and realize how piss poor the setup is?
Wow. So when someone presents data that makes your weak attempt at argument look even weaker, you just trot out the tired "well, you have no proof of those numbers"? Fantastic. I'll take that as you tipping your King over.
I think if Apple had flat-out invented numbers for their "Antennagate" presser back in July, the ravenous media who were gleefully reporting on the problem at the time would have done enough digging over a month later to have found them out should they have been lying about their data. But you just go right on living in your little fantasy world where evil corporations can simply issue public statements filled with lies and never get called on them.![]()
These things are so basic and no brainers so that all the phones have them... except of course iPhone!
-Delete recent calls one by one (can only delete them all)
-Delete all voice memos at once (can only delete one by one, major pain)
-Delete all pictures at once (can only be deleted by clicking every single photo and then pressing the delete button)
Now here comes the biggest issue. Much bigger even than the antenna issue. I can´t believe no one has complained about this!
-Phone ear speaker volume is way too low
I mean my grandmother can´t heart a thing with iPhone 4, but with her old rusty Nokia she hears just fine, which is much louder as it should be. I have a perfect hearing and it´s very difficult even for me to hear the other person, especially when I´m sitting on a bus or somewhere with background noise. I always have to shout to my friends "what? What? WHAT!? Please speak up!" It´s really embarrassing in public places and even more embarrassing that my friends are getting ammunition to bash my new iPhone!
So what is Apple thinking? Why can´t they get the basic things right?
you completely misinterpreted what I wrote. And you have a history of being antagonistic. I have no desire to feed your ego nor waste my time explaining myself to you more than I already have.

Like I already said...you conceded the argument with your absurd post where you question the accuracy of Apple's data. You aren't leaving the debate because you have no interest in participating, you are leaving because you lost, and all the backpedaling and excuse-making in the world won't change that fact.
