Apple IPhone 4.1 OS May Cause Mass Data Loss… Oops they did it again

Apple IPhone 4.1 OS May Cause Mass Data Loss… Oops they did it again

First, before your yell at me for being hater of Apple, I own a MAC and an Iphone (several of them), but I just can’t take once more instance of my IPhone turning into an IBrick!

According to Apple’s website, the iOS 4.1 Software Update brings Game Center, new iTunes features, high dynamic range photography, and more to iPhone, what they don’t tell you is that it could also lead to the loss of your contacts!

Apple known for user intuitiveness has lost ground once again with its latest 4.1 OS upgrade of the Iphone / Ipad, which in many instances has overwritten / deleted the contact files of the iphone.

Moreover, it has been reported that then syncing the phone to your Mac or PC, will then overwrite your back up. Over one thousand consumer iPhone rants were found in the socialscape throughout North America, which the number of instances seems to be building momentum since the release date.

When Apple was asked to comment on the matter, they stated that “there does exist the possibility that if you don’t upgrade from your computer all your contacts are located could be lost!” Moreover, the Apple spokesperson began reflecting on how many times she lost data on the coveted Apple device. Geeze, do you think that should be a BIG RED FREAKEN WARNING SOMEPLACE!

My advice, WAIT BEFORE ANY MAJOR APPLE UPGRADE, until 4.1.1 comes out. Apple is aware of the oppsy, but in their attempts to gain ground prior to the Christmas season in the battle of the cell phones, they are throwing consumers under the bus, for the potential gain of mass profit. As a result, several active IPhone influencers & social evangelists are switching sides. Good for Google, bad for Apple, especially in this latest issue goes mainstream.

What happened to the Apple we once knew that created outstanding products without cutting corners?
