Devicemag : The Samsung-Apple battle for the top spot is not new, with the Galaxy S2 contributing to giving the folks over at Apple sleepless nights.
Now the Galaxy SIII has been unveiled at London, and it has already beaten the iPhone 4S on its way to the top of a smartphone chart in the UK.
Apple ultimately decided to resolve these six-year-old court proceedings and agreed to pay $15 to each impacted iPhone 4s holder.
The Verge: All devices from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone X are impacted.
Fair play to them. On the ethical hacker side of things I would use the hack as leverage against Apple to continue to support their equipment. As they just dropped support for their iPad mini2βs etc. Thereβs absolutely nothing wrong with them, they work perfectly fine but are now blocked from receiving security updates etc. So the consumer is forced to purchase a new product that does the exact same thing.
Apple is on the receiving end of a class-action lawsuit from disgruntled iPhone 4s owners. The suit, filed by Chaim Lerman and more than 100 others, alleges Apple's iOS 9 update severely degraded the smartphone's performance both in terms of third-party apps and core functionality.
i choose even a s2 over the 4s
