(View all)So what happens next year?
And what about other issues? Should we turn our phone off for several days?
Unacceptable Apple!
So true. I'm not usually one to cry "unacceptable" but this truly is. "Don't use it for a week and it will resolve itself" is just a crap answer for a third rate company, not acceptable for the "it just works" company.
The bug is so bad, that even the act of adjusting the on time for the feature turns it on instantly.
So, what else isn't working that Apple knows about and doesn't give a damn about? Privacy features? Security features?
They are basically telling millions of customers that they don't give a damn.
Google or Samsung need an add making fun on this one...
this is so absolutely mind-boggling. it will resolve itself on the 7th, so just relax? really? what a message to send to customers, i'm really floored.
