Frequently asked questions

Why isn't there a criticism/controversy section in this article?: While reliable sourced criticisms and controversies can be included in this article, criticism sections themselves are generally discouraged. As a result of this, criticisms of the iPhone have been interleaved throughout the article in the appropriate section. For example, criticism of Apple requiring iPhone owners to pay to have their phone's battery replaced is included in the battery section. See WP:NPOV and WP:CRIT for further information on criticism and controversy sections.
Where are the prices? Is the iPhone available in my country?: Under guideline WP:NOPRICES, street and retail prices are considered trivia items. Pricing concerns over the iPhone, as well as other issues related to carriers are covered in other iPhone-related Wikipedia articles.
Why "the iPhone" and not just "iPhone"?: Dropping the definite article is a marketing technique used by Apple. Unless such terminology is used by a majority of our reliable, secondary sources, our style guidelines require that we use the normal rules of English grammar to refer to subjects, and that requires the use of the definite article when using synecdoche to refer to one subject as if it were the whole group (the iPhone and not iPhones).

Suggestion

The second sentence makes no sense. Please fix it / unlock this article.

It's iPhone 5s / 5c, not 5S / 5C. Please fix it. For Science (and mankind).

Heading text

Suggestion

Apple's iOS should be correctly changed to iOS 6.1.2

please provide the facility to downgrade ios 7.0.1 to 6.1.1

Any other uses for the iPhone, where GPS is utilized

Also include a list of other features or functions, where the GPS in the iPhone is utilized.

Please repair it. iPhone 5C has 1507 mAh battery. http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_5c-5690.php Fabrianivan (talk) 12:53, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Article already says 1507 mAh, and it is sourced. Sam Sailor ^Sing 14:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Two horizontal scroll bars, please!

I think a horizontal scroll bar should be both above and below, not just below, for the growing comparison section...

I don't know that we can do that. The scroll bar is automatically added to the table, it may require a technical change beyond this article to accomplish that. I don't see anything in the code for that table that defines the scroll bar(s). I understand your request, though, the table is really big (and getting bigger) and it's a pain to have to go to the bottom to find the bar. -- Atama頭 21:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Intro

The intro is far too long and detailed - e.g. the paragraph summarizing every release and its main features.

hi

why don't have Armenian keyboared in iphone — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.253.22.195 (talk) 03:48, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - article talk pages are for discussing the article itself, not for general discussions or questions on the subject. That being said, I believe you can find Armenian keyboards on the app store. Cheers, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:01, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
