Apple spent millions upgrading their servers since iOS 4, but still with today's rollout of iOS 5, it was not enough

Apple had problems during the last big update, and afterwards and with the planned launch of iCLOUD, they spent millions on brand-new servers, but it seems iOS 5 was just too much for the world's internet, with tons of people screaming left and right, about 'bricked' phones, lost 'music, video, photos', you name it nothing but hair-pulling tension.



The most common error suffered by users was Error 3200, which Apple reps were telling users was a result of so many users all over the world pinging Apple for the update at the same time, according to Mashable.

But the problems didn’t just end with not being able to connect to Apple’s servers and download the new iOS software. Some users ran into more serious issues, such as the upgrade stalling and devices being wiped of their apps, music, photos and other data. From the outcry on Twitter, it seems like many users had their devices hit pretty hard by the update, and some were even seemingly unusable for a short time.


And the second is alot of people rush to upgrade just to try out the new Siri feature, were you can talk to your iPhone and get help, instead they got this:



Siri voice assistant is silent

Siri was one of the hottest new features Apple unveiled. Many iOS users rushed to download the iOS 5 update in hopes of trying Siri out, only to discover it's nowhere to be found.

The solution: This is more of a misunderstanding than a problem. Siri is only available on the iPhone 4S for now because it takes advantage of the new iPhone's upgraded hardware. But there are some efforts underway to port Siri over to the iPhone 4 that may be worth keeping an eye on.


So there you have it, I have made my own top 5 list of what the 5 stands for in the new iOS update:
5 - Hours you going to spend today trying to unbrick your valuable iPhone
5 - Days you going to call in sick, when you find out you lost all your data!
5 - The remaining hairs on your head, after you go mad over Error #3200!
5 - Days you should have waited, as maybe there will be an iOS v5.1 soon!
5 - Amount of feet your PC is going to fly, after you throw it in panic mode!

well you always have your iTunes backup so no data will be really lost.

I didn't update yet. I'll wait for an untethered jailbreak.
hopefully by than no 3200 errors will occur and icloud will be running.

I had Siri before ios 5 rolled out on my iphone 3GS and it worked great. They are trying to get people to buy an updated phone so my bet is that iPhone 4 users will get screwed on Siri too. Apple you suck for this!! It is not a hardware limitation you B*llsh*tt*rs! :eek:

Oh shush... what's next are you going to tell me that a controller can have motion detection and rumble at the same time? /sarcasm

Sadly these companies do just that, and since most people are not bothered/don't actually know they are doing it, they will continue to do so.

Now, what’s in a name?
Look closely at the name: Siri. What letters stand out?
See it yet?
S i R I.
SRI = Stanford Research Institute.
It turns out that Apple’s Siri used to be SRI’s Siri, and SRI’s Siri is… Are you ready? A spinoff of DARPA’s PAL (Perceptive Assistant that Learns) program, which SRI called CALO (Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes).


Conspiracy theorists will love this one: A computerized assistant that can help you manage your day to day life, built atop an artificial intelligence platform developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the United States’ internal military research group. Siri, the startup building the assistant, is today announcing $8.5 million in venture funding.
