APPLE PHONES.......NO SERVICE


I have a new refurbished Apple phone that I have spent quit a bit of time trying to contact somebody at Apple to fix it....Its one month old......I have to wonder how a person can call a Apple person without spending the rest of there life trying to contact someone in the communication business.....I have tried e-mail, of course no body has a phone number, but if your phone doesn;t work , how would you call them anyhow......Maybe I should just sell it and get another brand that works.............What do you think ??

Well:  I have spent two-three months with my new Apple phone and my new Apple I pad and I can't beleave people will actually spend money on something this worth-less, Beteen pass-words, user-names and codes......A person could spend a good part of ones life just trying to call someone or like tonight, trying to download a "App"......It is a absolute joke to buy something like this so you can set your heat in your house, watch the people next door, operate your Streamer and maybe call someone.......Only if you have enough codes, pass-words, and pure luck...............Every time I see someone passing pictures around or looking at there house from afar, I get a real a big smile on my face............If someone told you that you had to have a Apple phone, you would fight them to the death.......WHAT A JOKE  ???

I’m definitely not a “techie”. I can mutter my way thru an Apple product. I do however agree that sometimes these devices are not very intuitive.  My wife usually steps in when she sees me yelling at my IPad or phone.  Don’t feel bad autospec, it took me a few years to figure out how to post a pic from a hosting site.  True story. 

I understand your frustration having only just escaped the Apple autocracy.

Even to escape it was a nightmare backing up my photos and transfering data off iCloud.

As of December 2021 there is no simple way of transferring WhatsApp chat from iPhone to android.

If it wasn’t for VLC media player I’d have given up with iPhones years ago.

The entire Apple ecosystem is geared up to users buying more iCloud storage. The meagre 5GB offered for free is more or less useless to back up anything like a normal iPhone. The endless reminders about getting booster jabs remind me of the endless reminders about buying more iCloud storage.

Income streams matter most.

It goes without saying that life on Android is infinitely easier.

 

Yes, the hardware is good, but the software is simply too inflexible. It’s geared up towards those who buy/stream everything online.

 

Anyway, having escaped the Apple ecosystem the next step would be to escape the Google ecosystem.

It’s bearable, for now at least.

I have given this Apple phone to someone who has more patients than me...........THANKS 
 

I don’t think it good give phone to busy doctor.
