This is my premature “coroner’s report” on my 3G (white 1Gb) iPhone. Â I’m really posting this for anyone else who is having problems with their WiFi. Â For information, rather than hope, that is.
My unit, 10 months (but not under warranty because it was a replacement for one that went in the sea) gradually stopped connecting to WiFi networks and then even detecting them. Â Now an Apple Genius has confirmed the hardware is defective. Â The unusual thing was there were no other problems with the phone, and there have been no error messages. Â I’ve now just switched the WiFi off, although that means I won’t be able to use some apps (like remote) or surf fast at home and at work.
I now expect the rest of the phone’s functions to gradually deteriorate until it no longer rings or lets me dial numbers containing a 6. Â I should be furious, but secretly I’m pleased to have the perfect excuse to buy (with money I don’t have) the next generation phone, the one I always wanted, that is going to be announced next week.
You are going to announce it, aren’t you, Steve?
