Safe to disconnect iPhone without ejecting from iTunes

They made it so you can disconnect it whenever. If you get a phone call while it's syncing with iTunes, you can take it out of the Dock and not worry about screwing something up.
The iPhone and iPod touch have always been like that. Disconnect whenever you want.

Wow that best piece of advice in this thread way to go man
What is that supposed to mean? Apple has documents explaining that you can unplug WHENEVER. It's DESIGNED that way... it's not like an iPod.
Yeah, that actually is good advice. Why the sarcasm? Did you hit the wrong emoticon?
He's just trying to jump on the "Bash TheSpaz" bandwagon.
You picked the wrong thread Curly. Kinda reminds me of the Slow Clap Guy in Not Another Teen Movie...
Wow seems like your headphones are to tight...plus am sure spaz is a big boy and can handle himself

i guess that was bad luck of the irish
The fact that a "Bash TheSpaz" bandwagon even exists goes to show that he has to be doing something to cause people to bash him.

I didn't take offense to it. I was just wondering why you were being sarcastic about it. It's a well known fact that you can unplug the iPhone from iTunes without ejecting it. Did you read the Apple support document I gave you?

Oh I know he can. It's unbelievable how thick Spaz's skin is.
It's definitely a tired trend though. He doesn't need to be defended but I don't think anybody should be needlessly ridiculed.
+1. Yeah, he needs to go to the downgrade to 2.2.1 update or open old dead threads about pixel counts, if he's going to do any bashing.
Me thinks someone has made themselves look stupid! And oh, where's Moe and Larry?
I think people just argue with me mostly because I have some sort of bad name around here. People see a "TheSpaz" thread and immediately click it so they can start bad-mouthing me. It's okay... some people take me seriously.
I'm not a terrible person you know... I bet if you were to talk to me in person you'd see that I'm not as bad as people make me out to be.
People like to hide behind their computer screens and think that they can say anything they want because they can pretend to be anonymous.

its ok spaz, although this is my new account, I've been around here long enough to of read plenty of your threads and posts and I don't have any issues with ya. People are just smart asses and it often backfires on em, like with curly... but just keep layin down the facts.
its probably because people see your name and assume youre a spaz
Sometimes I even turn my computer off when I have my iPhone pluged in, haven't noticed any problems with it.
BTW, what the hell is a spaz anyway? English is not my main language so I don't get that.
I should also say that I appreciate TheSpaz threads and post's the most here, he gives a different view of things and I really dig that!

It has always been safe to do this with every iPod ever released with one exception case. Anytime you had an iPod set up to show up as an external drive as well as an iPod, then it required you eject that drive before removing the iPod.
The ability to just remove it (while it's not in the middle of a sync, of course) is partly why it has a special driver. That and giving apple more control over what's easily visible to the user of course
That article really doesn't say anything about whether or not you need to "eject" the iPhone before disconnecting it--just that you can disconnect it at any time. In that respect it's not very informative at all.
Frankly, if you don't need to use the eject button in iTunes before disconnecting the phone, I have to wonder why it's even there...
