iPhone Security Fix: Recall or Firmware Upgrade?
|
|
|
| I've looked at the owner's manual and have asked countless Apple and
AT&T reps with no answer. The iPod has the ability to support
firmware upgrades but does the iPhone?
Otherwise, if Apple does have a significant security issue then can we
expect a recall?

Of course the iPhone has the ability to support updates.

It's been widely reported that updates will be delivered via iTunes, just
like with iPods.

I supposed you didn't believe Apple in their Q2 financial call either:
====================
====================
"5:12 iPhone: Apple plans on developing new applications and software
features for the iPhone. Many of these features will be free upgrades. They
will use subscription accounting so they don't need to charge for these new
features.
5:13 Want to 'surprise and delight' iPhone customers."
....
5:19 Question: Explain the subscription model of the Apple TV. Answer: they
are doing it so they can provide new applications and software for both the
iPhone and Apple TV."

====================
====================
Yea, no way to ever update it. You go right ahead and keep believing that.
