The great macdebate (now with roids)

Well...surely it can't **** the iPhone up any worse?!!!!

The really sneaky bit is that the JavaScript for that page is resolution independent. It will always force scrolling the bottom 310 pixels

Having completely smashed my iPhone4S up a couple of weeks ago, it's nice to have it back today. And the bonus was that they replaced the whole unit rather than just the screen and casing
Unfortunately, it has ios6 loaded onto it. So now the question is...do I keep it or head down to CEX and exchange it for a second hand model with ios5?
Seeing as the most used used part of my phone was the maps, I'm thinking the latter!

[davewellington]

or just wait for the google maps app to come out
there's probably a jailbreak solution to get ios 5 google maps on 6 as well

Sell it and buy a nexus 4

The maps on ios6 aren't that bad.

[wigsplitta]

The only issue with waiting for a standalone app to come out is that it probably won't be able to integrate with all the other apps that utilise maps. Possibly there might be a setting like some apps use with chrome though.

And as for the maps not being that bad....they are shockingly poop. Apart from crawley roads being badly wrong, the general lack of businesses/POI/McDonald's on the apple maps is painful. I have used the maps so heavily over the past few years for work when I've been travelling, and now apple maps is basically blank. I would say they have less than 10% of the info that google maps has. I'm thinking that you're right though, a Nexus or SIII is probably the way to go. I wonder if Pete fancies swapping phones?

I thought you were in IT? Just put it into recovery mode and downgrade it with the 5.1 ipsw file.

I thought you were in IT? that doesn't work, Apple stopped signing iOS 5.1.1 a whiles ago. He can downgrade if he has his signed 5.1.1 SHSH blobs, but he won't because the phone was on 6.0 to start with.

You can downgrade to IOS5 with a 4S. You have to download the correct IOS5 firmware and downgrade in iTunes.

Nope. Scroll down to the comments.

I stand corrected. One of my work colleagues managed to revert a 4S but it was probably a beta build of iOS6 as it was some time ago.
It looks like iOS 5 is no longer signed which is the problem... Boo to Apple here. The Maps are blimmin awful.

[pubjoe]

No.

[Rossyra]

I see what you did thar.

Whats the best mail client for Chrome ? I want something that checks my old freeserve pop3 mail server every so often and notifies me of my mail, in the Chrome store it's all Gmail & Yahoo bollox
Been wanting to ditch Opera for a while now, But built in mail checker is a must for me.

[cools]

Chrome is a browser, not an email client.

[markedkiller78]

Nexus 4 is availble to order tomorrow. I know what I'll be doing

Bye bye itunes.

[cools]

I'll be ordering, depending on delivery date.
