Well now there is a better overall phone. Should those not having model 1634 be able to return theirs?
AT&T the best iphone

maybe because there is no significative difference between the SoCs.
I didn't say iPhone 4 antenna was a good solution. The way they changed it in the 4s demonstrated it wasn't.
I just said the "AntennaGate" was overblown by the net.
No matter how you try to twist it: sales numbers demonstrated the iPhone 4 was a success.
According to Hiraku's CPU Identifier app. the highest end of iPhone 6s PLUS model, 89.12% are installed with TSMC where as the rest are of Samsung chips..
Not sure about the accuracy.. but from what I have read online, majority of the highest end iPhone 6s PLUS owners have a TSMC chip installed on their phone
thanks. if this is indeed true, i think i might pick the 128 model.
can i ask where did you read it if you remember? a link maybe?
i'm also wondering if there's any difference in chips in worldwide models, etc..
Overblown is making a ridiculous statement saying apple successfully demonstrated that all phones suffered from it.
My golden rule on MR , once a person turns to sales figure to support thier arguement, they are desperate.... And deflecting .
We are not discussing sales figures mate, we are discussing a design flaw. Having huge sale figure, does not mean the problem goes away
no one once said the iPhone 4 was not a success. You are better than using the sales figure get out clause so many throw around here.
Huh? So, no
So, what's your reason for stating your non-facts, things pulled from your conspiracy bin?
If Apple lies, they get sued and potentially clients.
If you lie, well you just lie.. So, who am I going to believe? Little hint, mister "no spin" (sic): not you.
Also, whose "fan" are you, who are you spinning for? Because, anyone who uses "cult of apple" in their post their has his agenda posted in mile high blinking red letters across their ocean wide ego inflated head.
So, crash off your own high horse, you're one of the little people...
Apple gave a chip to some people that give more specs than the one they announced in September, a difference that will truly matter only for the most heavy users. Everyone else is still getting a great phone that's within spec.
If anyone is trying spin, it's you, not Apple.
Apple could have only used the TSMC and probably had low stocks until January and more people would whine about that, and they'd be right because for most it wouldn'T matter.
It did until this blew up.
It's reasonable to think that Apple paid them off, because the timing is so suspicious. Apple simply don't want people finding out which chip they have, in case they get flooded with returns, not to mention lawsuits.
Even Apple found two sources for chip, Apple should provide same designs but not one with 14ms but other 16ms, one must be better than another one when two have different designs, this is totally Apple screws itself up.
[/QUOTE]No, it's yanked by the developer.

@leowings We will take the App down in 24 hours until we can release a decent update.
5:48 AM - 7 Oct 2015
Lirum Labs@LirumLabsThis is a completely unconvincing response.
The app was working just fine when I first downloaded it. It's clear to me that they've either been paid off by Apple, threatened by Apple, or have removed the functionality from their free app in order to make you buy their paid one.
The apps are back up without an update, which suggests to me that Apple made the move. The functionality has been removed, so I think Apple deliberately removed the apps initially, then persuaded Lirum either with money or by threat to remove the functionality of determining the chip, after which, they allowed the apps back on the App Store.
Sales DOES mean that the "issue" was real only on forums like this.Overblown is making a ridiculous statement saying apple successfully demonstrated that all phones suffered from it.

The antenna wasn't the best part of the iPhone 4, BUT it didn't cause any real problem in most of the cases (again, US customers under poor AT&T coverage were the most complaining people at the time).
Here is 6s plus from apple website:
iPhone 6s Plus
Talk time: Up to 24 hours on 3G
Internet use: Up to 12 hours on 3G, up to 12 hours on LTE, up to 12 hours on Wi‑Fi
HD video playback: Up to 14 hours
Audio playback: Up to 80 hours
Standby time: Up to 16 days
All are in Apple unknown condition, the term "up to" means apple nevers promise anything
So apple nevers promises anything about battery or heat at all. It just says it uses a a9 chip, actually apple can use different cpu in every iphone 6s plus, saying the chip is a9, still legal. Apple can let one iphone 6s plus can run 50 hours in real life, another one runs 1 hour, still legal because as long as in apple testing condition the hours are within what it claims, or even not there still ok, "up to" means can be not close to that number at all.
See the term "up to" can tell apple has cheap shot this time and dont want to take any responsibility.
totally BS ... every OEM use the term "up to" speaking about battery life, since it is influenced by many factors
Rubbish. The issue went viral and made the news worldwide . Like the 1800 news!
Apple issued all customers a free case, how on earth do you conclude it was limited to forums?
You either have an awful memory or live yourself in a reality distortion field, do I need to help with how things actually played out? Or would you prefer to live in your dream world where antennagate was a non issue.
I got an iPhone 4, my favourite phone that apple had ever profuced. I accept its got a design flaw. And you know what, I had to adjust my grip!!!
yes it went viral and forgotten after a few weeks. Like any other #gate in Apple's world (bendgate the last).
A very vocal minority on web forums could sometimes reach traditional media, but after a few weeks al these false "issues" are forgotten.
Yes I did ask. The first thing I said was that the battery doesn't last long enough and I want a new one. They ran the tests and then said I couldn't have one, even though I was prepared to pay.
I'm perfectly aware that lithium batteries decline in capacity. That's why I went in wanting to upgrade!
