Apple just can't seem to wrap their head around wifi

But it's not that bad. Between choosing widgets and backgrounds and even launchers, even the android phones with bloatware on them give you a lot of customizability in making it look and function how you want.

You could say the holocaust was "not that bad" but that doesn't make it true.

great analogy...

so... get a smartphone at the end of this month or wait til nov or dec???

[brawndolicious]

There's some good options but I would definitely wait until the week of black friday. You'll see how the newest nexus stacks up and you'll probably be able to get an insane deal on it (or anything else) from amazon.

Plus you can see the new Lumia 920, which is "not that bad".

Nexus 4 should be announced this month. If you want power, wait for that. If you want the best bang for your buck, get the unlocked $350 GN from Play.

Apple Acknowledges iPhone 5 Camera Problem, Says You’re Holding It Wrong
Jesus Diaz

After initially denying it, Apple has acknowledged the iPhone 5's purple flare camera problem in an email to a Gizmodo reader. Their solution: "Angle the camera away from the bright light source when taking pictures."

Here's their complete answer:

    Dear Matt,

    Our engineering team just gave me this information and we recommend that you angle the camera away from the bright light source when taking pictures. The purple flare in the image provided is considered normal behavior for iPhone 5's camera. If you wish to reach me regarding this case number *********, please contact me at 1-877-***-**** ext. *******. I currently work Thursday-Monday: 7:00am - 3:30pm Mountain Time. If you reach my voicemail, please leave your name, phone number, case number and the best time to reach you. Email is ***********@apple.com.

    Sincerely,
    Debby
    AppleCare Support

Long time Gizmodo reader Matt Van Gastel received this email after a long call with Apple support regarding the Purple Flare problem in his phone, which apparently is a feature common to every iPhone 5:

    Initially I was told that it shouldn't happen and that it is strange. My call was escalated to a senior support individual who again said it was odd and shouldn't happen. I sent her some pics of the issue and she in turn sent them to the engineering team.

Her final response is what you can see at the top of this article. Some photography experts have speculated that the purple flare is a product of the sapphire glass covering the iPhone 5's camera.

So it is final, folks: Apple says that, if your photos have a purple flare, this is totally normal behavior of the iPhone 5's camera. You are just holding it wrong.

Also, it's not Apple's fault that the Sun is purple. [Thanks Matt!]

He gave his life so that grandmas the world over could smear their claws all over a device which didn't intimidate or confuse them. Show a little respect.

He was the Dr. Dre of smartphones.
