  • New iPhone 15 Pro BSOD On First Power-On

    From sms@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 5 17:30:31 2023
    This morning I was at a mechanical shop that we are contracting with and
    the owner had a new iPhone 15 Pro that had just arrived. When he powered
    it on there was haptic feedback when he touched the screen but the
    display was not working. He was ready to return the phone.

    I showed him how to do a forced restart (volume up > volume down > hold
    the side button until the logo appears then release) and that worked.

    What would cause a brand new device to behave like that? If I hadn't
    been there he would have had to make a trip to the Apple Store where
    they would have done the same thing.

    More likely he would have asked around, or checked online, and someone
    would have told him to try the restart sequence.

    As to why? Apple ship a million or so of these every 2 days. Something
    is going to fall outside Six-Sigma on the order of 1,000 - 10,000
    devices. (Latter is a wAG - could be better or worse).

    This will only disappoint sms. He was fishing for more "Apple never
    tests anything" trolls. Darnit!

    I hear they're offline re-grouping with lots of support-group style help.

    person- I'm Arlen, and I am a troll.
    group- "Hi Arlen!"
    person- I've been struggling lately with my trolling. I was once quite
    good at it, but I've run into some, well, BULLIES!
    group- "What do you mean, 'BULLIES', Arlen?"
    person- Well, it's very humiliating, because when ever I speak the Rudi Giuliani 'TRUTH IS NOT TRUTH' truth, they bombard me with the honest,
    traceable facts!

    Group Recites - "Grant me the Serenity, to accept the things I can not
    change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the
    difference."

    person- "Aw F---k that's not what I came here for!!!!"

    LOL, in Silicon Valley that would be the case. I'm presently in Texas
    working on a project. Smart guys when it comes to fabricating huge steel structures for the project I'm on, but not into phone stuff other than
    as users. People sometimes forget that there are a lot of people that
    just want their devices to work and are not going to be researching
    online how to fix their devices. I recall when my sister-in-law moved
    from a Samsung Galaxy phone to an iPhone and she would absolutely not
    believe me when I explained to her that she could no longer set separate volumes for calls and notifications. She went to an Apple Store at the
    mall which told her the same thing of course. While there is a jailbreak
    tweak that provides this functionality she was not able or willing to go
    that route (see 11a in the document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JznrWfGJDA8CYVfjSnPTwfVy8-gAC0kPyaApuJTcUNE/edit#bookmark=id.jpbsgvomr5r0>.

    You think that only people in SV know how smartphones work?

    Looking at your past posts, it's clear that the more long winded your
    reply, the more likely you are talking out of your hat and/or making
    stuff up to cover for your bs.
