Upgrading to iOS 6.1.2--DON'T DO IT!




If you are an iPad or iPhone user and happen to be blogging on google's "blogger", don't upgrade to the iOS 6.1.2.

If you do, some of you will not be able to post comments or see comments on "blogger", and you can't revert to the old operating system to fix this problem.

I just finished talking to the so called "AppleCare" and it became clear to me that they "don't care", as this is, as the 16 year old tech explained to me, a Google problem and not an Apple problem.

Assuming that the Apple techs have really looked into this, in the 25 minutes that they had me on the phone, I would submit that this is "our problem", the consumers, but neither Google nor Apple seems to care that we are being left in the lurch.

Apple executives should re-read Steve Jobs interview with Forbes from 2012 titled:
 "Steve Jobs Warns Apple: Don't Get Greedy" 

So while we wait for Apple and Google to control their post Steve Jobs era "greed" and cooperate for the sake of us, don't upgrade to the iOS 6.1.2.
