Iphone 4S & IPADS

1- No international warranty:
Apple is renowned for its warranty. People who use Apple products often talk about how their grievances are handled efficiently without any questions. All because of one simple fact. Most Apple devices are covered under international warranty.
But iPhone 4 is an exception. In India, Apple provides warranty for only those iPhones that have been bought in this country. In fact, for iPhones — because they are often linked to carriers — there is nothing called international a warranty. If some dealer abroad tells you that you will get international warranty on an iPhone, he is misleading you. He may provide a “seller’s warranty” but that is not Apple’s warranty.

2- Buy from ‘authorized’ shops: In plain terms, this means that you should specifically ask the seller if he is authorized to sell the iPhone. It's even better if you check the list of authorized stores at Apple, Airtel or Aircel website and only buy from a shop which figures on the list. It is a fact that iPhone 4 has been launched in India, but not all shops or websites are authorized to sell it. So take care.

3- You are doomed (likely) if you bought iPhone 4 from the grey market or from abroad: Officially, service centres authorized by Apple in India are not supposed to touch any iPhone 4 that has not been bought from “authorized source”. This means that even if people are willing to pay money for parts and service, Apple will officially not provide any service to such a device in India. That’s the official policy. In reality, some centres — read
the more benevolent ones — may take pity on you. But that is no guarantee.

4- iPhone is an exception: Apart from iPhone, all other Apple products are covered under international warranty in India. Apple claims that because of the complexity and its business model that relies on carriers like Airtel and Aircel, the company does not provide any international warranty to iPhone 4 in India.

the news on how one of the iphone 4 owner had gone thru the ordeal... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Code:

Puneet Kumar recently bought an iPhone 4 from a shop in Amsterdam where he went for a business trip. It was an unlocked device, bought at 680 euros from a shop that was very much legitimate. Puneet got a bill
along with the device and a “two-year international warranty”. Unfortunately for him, his iPhone 4 started malfunctioning days after he came back to India. The home button was “erratic” and many a time Puneet found pressing the button wasn’t bringing him back to the home screen. Armed with his copy of bill and a receipt that “specified world-wide warranty”, he visited a service centre that was authorized by Apple to provide after-sales service in Delhi. But he was in for a rude shock.
The customer care executives at the service centre refused to touch his iPhone 4, saying it was not covered under any warranty. Their position was that iPhones are not covered under Apple’s international warranty and the only way for Puneet to get his device fixed was to talk to the dealer in Amsterdam and ship the device to him.
Exasperated, Puneet decided to ring up Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino. There too he was told — according to him in a not-too-nice manner — that his device is not covered by any warranty in India. While he was free to deal with the dealer in Amsterdam in whatever manner he deemed fit, officially, Apple could not help him in any way.
After coming to know about Puneet’s experience, I decided to dig a little deeper into the warranty policy that Apple follows for iPhone 4 in India. Due to delayed launch of iPhone 4 in India, a large number of people in India use iPhones that they bought abroad — with all bills and warranties — or from the grey market. We hope this information will
be useful for these people, as well as to those who plan to buy iPhone 4 in future.

11 reasons why you should ditch Apple’s new iPad

tech says..

It’s hot: This is perhaps the most common and the most well documented criticism about the new iPad. And it does overheat. Even though I keep it wrapped up in a cover, the new iPad doesn’t fail to let its user know that it’s hot. Apple acknowledges the iPad heats up to a maximum of 95°F, or 35°C. As a user, I must say that as it is with weather bulletins, Apple should let its users know what it feels like to hold a device so hot. I'll tell you - it feels much hotter than 35°C to hold a device that hot. Nevertheless, some laptops too get almost as hot – even hotter at times – than 95°F. So, this is something that is up for debate - how hot is too hot for a tablet?

Erratic Wi-Fi connectivity: I must admit that, in the few days that I’ve been using the new iPad (mostly at home, in a wi-fi environment), I have not faced any connectivity issues – so far. But there have been widespread reports of Internet connectivity, especially over wi-fi networks. Maybe Apple should investigate this one first.

Shockingly limited apps to gainfully employ the retina display: Don’t get me wrong – I am happy with the new retina display – but there are shockingly limited ways one can use the enhanced display. I have indeed downloaded a nice screensaver and paid for a couple of HD games, but there aren’t many good ‘retina display-ready’ apps available right now that would make me go ‘oh wowww’ – know what I mean? This means that those who will wait until more such apps hit the iStore can earn bank interest on the money they’ve set aside to buy the new iPad while early adopters such as yours truly will have to just wait for such apps to materialise. Are you listening, Apple?

The more (pixels), the merrier? Hardly: As a tagalong to my limited apps gripe, there is the issue of digital magazines that have not been optimized for such higher resolution display. So while my device is enabled to show every curve and curl in four times as many pixels, the images aren’t ready – yet – to be shown in all their 4x glory. The result is that the iPad 3 applies an anti-aliasing filter to show all low-resolution content, and so the images look just about okay, but the text becomes well-nigh unreadable. Until magazine publishers start publishing editions optimized for the iPad 3, this problem will persist, or so claim the experts. Aaarggh.

Not enough storage: Even if you have the max 64GB variant of the new iPad, that isn’t nearly enough to support the additional MBs that every single app will add to the existing load on your iPad. Why? Because the apps that do tango with the retina display are sumo-sized when compared to those that aren’t. While most are at least 50 per cent heavier that the non-souped-up versions, some are twice the size. And not just that, with app-makers upgrading their existing apps for the higher display, users of iPad 1 or 2 who unwittingly upgrade existing apps will see even their storage space dwindle without any accompanying benefits of enhanced display. That’s a double-whammy for last-gen users.

Short battery life: Again, I haven’t – yet – faced this issue but I am sure there is more than a grain of truth in the hundreds of irate iPad users commenting about the problems they have been facing with the battery’s life-and-drain cycle. 24:7 channel has covered this issue in full (Reports of iPad 3 battery charging problem).

If you break it, consider it gone: Most people who try to fix the new iPad – when broken – at home will end up breaking the glass. That’s the verdict from iFixit, a consumer gadget repair site that first broke the story about Apple’s use of iPad teardown. It says that its own skilled technicians used a heat gun on the glass to loosen the adhesive, as well as guitar picks and suction cups to lift the glass. According to US-based warranty provider SquareTrade, the latest iPad is more fragile than iPad 2, and shatters when dropped from shoulder height. Don’t try it at home, is all I will say.

Overweight: It is indeed much heavier and noticeably thicker than its predecessor, and users have complained that, weight-wise, this tablet is just about as heavy as some of the light netbooks available in the market. There are reasons, of course, for its heavyweight status. The new iPad has binged on a diet of bigger battery, 4G radio, and the much-talked-about retina display. Still, it is heavy and I’ll be surprised to learn that Apple hasn’t already done all it could to release the new iPad after an extended session with the weightwatchers’ technical equivalent.

Face Time no good with 4G: Yes, it’s true. Face time works only with wi-fi and not with 4G LTE. What – don’t look at me like that… direct that ‘why’ at Apple!

High maintenance: While Apple took pains (ha ha) to maintain the $499 entry-level pricing, the bills that 4G LTE iPad owners will need to shell out every month – especially in a country like the UAE, where telecom rates are one of the steepest in the world – just to keep up with all the new thingamajigs that they will be able to perform on the new device, and it’s bound to be (almost) as expensive to maintain as a you know what. Am still to be hit by the first bill, so fingers-crossed.

No Siri, No deal: In the end, Apple disappointed enthusiasts by leaving out its much-talked-about Siri support system. Instead, it offers voice dictation, which is good, but is it good enough? Did Apple leave that for the next avatar of their iPad?

iPhone 5 is around the corner

Foxconn is the company that supplies workers and factories for the production of Apple’s devices, including the iPhones and iPads.

According to the buzz, the new iPhone will have a larger screen (4.6 inches), the all-new Retina display (which made its debut with the new iPad), as well as an upgraded 4G LTE technology although the technology is still not available in many countries around the world.
