As the saying goes, ‘if the shoe fits, wear it.’ But this may not be the case with the new iPhone 4S and older case accessories as it has become apparent that a slight modification to the 5th generation offering from Apple could render your iPhone 4 cases completely useless.
Apple ultimately decided to resolve these six-year-old court proceedings and agreed to pay $15 to each impacted iPhone 4s holder.
According to Apple, they are working on making exterior design of iPhone 12 better. Jin Store has got the drawings as well as the moulds from case makers.
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 mini2’s etc. There’s 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.
Misleading title. The iPhone 4 cases weren't meant for the 4S..end of story.
Edit - I don;t see why ppl have to disagree with me...it's a different product. If iPhone 4 cases happened to fit it, then you all should be chanting cheers of joy, but it's still a different product.
It is something which 95% of people didn't know, personally I assumed my iPhone 4 cases would fit on the the iPhone 4S perfectly...
i thought it was the same exact phone except it had an extra speaker slot on the front screen. smh apple lol more proof of the grip that you have on the sheep's in the market.
oh no! i'd better cancel my iphone 4s order!
/sarcasm
seriously? this is news?
