"For those who don't turn the feature off, Chpwn claims Apple's Carrier IQ installation shares much less information than Android devices. He found that iOS shares "your phone number, your carrier, your country, active phone calls, and your location." However, unlike Android, Apple's installation doesn't share the phone number a user has dialed and only includes location information when "location services are enabled."

Sounds good to me. If it's at the level of phone, carrier, calls and location I don't even care to turn it off.
My thought was that you were stating that it wasn't on iDevices. I remembered having read my link and seeing that that wasn't the case, so I thought I'd post it.
I really don't know anything about it, only a little about what it implies. If that's not what you were saying, ignore it.
click bait headline should be: Apple iPhone 4S users not 100% satisfied. it's a failure!
I love my iphone 4s.

I find reading online comments about it being a "disappointment" hilarious. Recently had a 2 year Android guy return his Galaxy Nexus S and buy an iPhone 4S because of Siri (I wasn't pushing the iPhone...I have never evangelized products IRL. He just liked what he saw about Siri from my usage).
Frankly, this is more of an AT&T issue than an iP4S problem. If AT&T could deliver faster and more consistent HSPA+ speeds, I don't think the vast majority of people would care that the phone wasn't LTE. (Of course, I can understand the Verizon and Sprint iP4S user pain, though )
I disagree. AT&T is the only network that even CAN provide HSPA+ speeds. What about the Verizon/Sprint people? Frankly, LTE is not yet ready for primetime. The network coverage isn't all that great, and the chips are battery hogs. However, this will change very rapidly by mid 2012, and Apple really needs the next iPhone to be LTE capable.

I think Apple certainly needs a second screen size. Not Android like mini-tablets, but a 4" screen size would be good. Personally, the current screen size works great for me, but this is a battle between ecosystems, and Apple cannot leave users on the table because of something like screen size.
As a security researcher found out, Carrier IQ monitors keystrokes and sends that back to its own servers. On Apple?s devices, it appears to have been cut off from such activities.
I like the iPhone 4S but I'm on my third one now and I will have to go back to the Apple Store this weekend to exchange it for a fourth. My wife's iPhone 4S works fine, but the microphones in all my iPhones have been faulty thus far.

If I had only a few posts, I'd be more likely making things up. However, it is known that one of the most common reasons for exchanging the iPhone 4S is faulty mic issues. Would you like me to post confirmation emails from the Apple Store for the exchange. Or, a pic of myself holding up my iPhone 4S next to your post on my monitor to make you happy?
My phones thus far have had issues where it sounds like I'm far away or on speaker phone, or my voice is cutting out heavily.
It never left. You can still get EDGE and even GPRS where 3G doesn't exist.
He's referring to the toggle switch for disabling 3G. This is not an artificial iOS 5.0 limitation, it's a limitation that seems to be part of the MDM66x0 baseband chip.

Your theory sounds about right. It looks like the switch is unavailable for iPhone 4S but may be available for other phones depending on carrier support according to Apple's article.

It stopped showing up with the Verizon iPhone which uses an earlier version of the MDM66x0 chip. However, a CDMA phone doesn't do data on 3G, and still uses voice for 2G which makes keeping 3G enabled something that won't affect the battery life in any substantial way so it makes using the Verizon iPhone fairly unhelpful.
Strange because everyone I know who has it.. are all complaining about short battery life myself included. I get 3 hours tops compared with 7 hrs I used to get with the 4 doing the exact same things..

perhaps, but you can turn it off unlike Android.

Didn't all the pundits and ...
It's an abuse of an important Sanskrit word (at least, as applied to this crowd!).
CarrierIQ is also reported to be on iPhones. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-57...o-hacker-says/

I am with my wife saying that i will NOT buy nothing from Apple so soon.
"not buy nothing" is a double negative so that means your wife says that you ARE allowed to buy an Apple product.
A battering, for those with low 3G signals, on the battery means the iPhone 4 is a better option.
With so much satisfaction, there seems little liklihood of the 2G mode returning.
