Cable Forum - The iPhone thread

Whats wrong with the baloons where you see the message as a proper conversation.
No point switching folders to inbox, sent box, etc.
Works for me. :tu:

Anyone know if Siri will come to the Iphone 4 or is it exclusive to the 4S?

I have to say it's a lot better with the balloons. It's just for 4s

Siri is an Iphone 4s only feature at the moment. Apparently the software WILL run on an Iphone 4 BUT the crafty beggers at Apple have made part of Siri cloud based meaning if you attempt to connect with an Iphone 4 it won't. Yay.

Apparently the Jailbreaking monkeys are working on it ;)

Thanks, I guess it is one of those features that will get people to upgrade.
I'm not that fussed if I don't get it on the iphone4.

Re: The iPhone thread

It's surely just a marketing thing, just an incentive for people to go for the 4S.

If Siri uses "cloud processing" and needs an active data connection, then why not let the 4 have it?

If Siri *does* need the power of the A5, then why not let the iPad 2 have it? (given that the iPad 2 also has the A5... but at a higher clock speed than the 4S)

Re: The iPhone thread

Iphone 4 has a 1,420 maH battery
4s has a 1,432 one

Neither are terribly big, although the thing only has a smallish 3.5 inch screen to drive

WiFi usage at home is much preferred over 3G as it will use a lot less power (if you are using WiFi why not turn off 3G at that point)

Simply because the transmitting power of WiFi is usually smaller than that of a 3G radio since the access point is much closer and the signal will be much stronger than the usual 3G tower. They tend to be less dense than 2G towers and the phone will need to transmit with more power in order to keep reasonable signal strength with 3G.

Re: The iPhone thread

Is there anyway to see what data is being used when your connected to 3G just as I would like to know which apps and free and which use my Internet data

Sorry no idea on Apple, someone else may know, isn't there a config screen or similar detailing all that or an app available?

I've just checked the Three website. "Text 500" has 5000 SMS and 500 minutes. Unfortunately it just has 1GB of data (I asked which tariff you had as Three has some tariffs with truly unlimited data - "All you can eat" data - on e.g. The One Plan). I don't quite understand it though as "Text 500" doesn't appear to be a tariff available for the iPhone 4S. Is it the tariff you used to have previously, and are you sure you're still on it now?

As for an app or something to show data usage... I use the O2 app to see how much data I have used. I don't know if Three has a similar app. You can also check by going to Settings > General > Usage > Mobile Usage, which will show usage since you last Reset the stats.

Any app which uses data will use your mobile data when you are not connected to WiFi.
