Apple released the latest update to iOS 10.1 for the iPhone which includes the much ballyhooed Portrait Camera feature. — PING!

It fixed my mail freezing and hoping it fixed my battery life issue with 10.0

[NormsRevenge]

Does it make the new big phone lighter? NO?

My wife and sis in law are growing hugh biceps.. and they just got new iphone7 pluses..

[arl295]

Will it prevent it from bursting into flames and killing people?

Since the iPhone doesn't and hasn't your implied lie question is irrelevant.

Quit trying to incite flame wars in violation of the owner of this forum's edicts and plainly stated instructions for tech threads.

[arl295]

so what you are saying it will burst into flames killing people?

Maybe that is a feature, not a bug hmmm

[deks]

You mean like if you were being robbed...as you hand the phone to the mugger you touch a certain icon on the screen. So it automatically backs up the phone to cloud backup...and then explodes hahaha

[arl295]

If it bursts into flames, does it make it a flamewar?

Or if a Apple iPhone bursts into flames and a Samsung phone bursts into flames, then it would be a true flame war right?

[arl295]

That would be a cool feature

I would want that on my phone lol

[CodeToad]

At least Apple is making releases. I’ve been waiting months to get the latest Android. Seems to be taking several years.

[FXRP]

Enough already. Can we stick to one operating system for a while. I’m sick of having to update every darned week or endure endless nagging. Write a good one and leave it alone for a year.

“If it bursts into flames, does it make it a flamewar?”

A little irony, the wife’s Droid Turbo had a small fire at the charging port yesterday. Seems nothing is immune.

I am not going to play your idiotic game. Go away.

Quit trying to incite flame wars in violation of the owner of this forum's edicts and plainly stated instructions for tech threads. That is very plainly stated. YOU are trying to start a flame war. Cut it out. I refuse to participate.

This is the last response I will make to your rude attempt to disrupt this thread and start a flame war.

I think the problem in these Android phones that are catching fire may be the fast charging technology. Pushing large amounts of wattage through a port that was never intended to handle it, into a battery system also not intended to charge so rapidly, is a formula for disaster in the long run. The batteries charging so rapidly physically expand as they heat up while receiving the charge. . . then they cool down and contract when the charging is completed or after they've received the rapid cycle and go on to the slower, trickle charge to complete the full charge. This heat/cool, expand/contract cycle leads to internal damage. In addition, larger power densities passing through a power port not originally designed to handle the load will also cause the traces and wires in the port to heat and change physical characteristics. The connection is physical, and arcing can occur at higher density loads.

The normal, expected rate of Lithium Ion failure rate is 1 per 10,000,000 per year, but that is in normal trickle charged cell batteries. I have not seen any data collected on batteries whose cells were rapid charged. Making the assumption that the normal rate would be the same for rapid charged batteries, especially ones that undergo multiple rapid charges, would be foolish. . . but apparently that is what they are doing.

The Motorola Turbos are such rapid charging phones as was the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

Apple, which certainly could include rapid charging in their phones as the technology is simple and cheap, has chosen NOT to include such a capability in any of their products for apparently good reasons known to them. Perhaps Apple research did do the rapid charge failure testing?

[CodeToad]

Without question her Android the port overheated due to excessive current since there was no short circuit. Heat is the enemy of all things electronic, including batteries.

What is sad is that EE graduates rarely understand these issues even though it is a part the curriculum. “Excessive current overheating a circuit? Nah, it’s only a wire.” Changes are these days it wasn’t even an EE that made the decisions and some BA bimbo with a PMP was the project manager.

[arl295]

do you even know who the owner is?

Because, if you did, you would use his name and not just refer to him as “just some owner”

[USNBandit]

Is your battery life not updating like mine? 10.0 seems pretty glitchy. I have had some issues with an external GPS antenna for flying, as well.

[dayglored]

> do you even know who the owner is? Because, if you did, you would use his name and not just refer to him as “just some owner”

Hey n00b. You're being an a-hole, and there's no need for it, so cut it out.

The owner of this forum, one Jim Robinson, made THIS STATEMENT (posted on 7/24/2010, 1:44:17 AM by Jim Robinson) concerning jerks like you, and I commend it to your attention:

"...That goes for everyone. I don’t see any reason whatsoever to be having flamewars on FR over computer products. Those who have a problem with Apple should just not buy the product and that takes care of that. Don’t come to FR to flame those who like the product. That’s just dumb. Who cares what computer products people use. Everyone on these threads need to lighten up! On all sides!!"

Okay, n00b -- THAT owner. Ya got it? Jim made it clear (although that particular thread was about Apple products) that that "cease-fire" applies to ALL tech products. You don't like 'em, don't buy 'em. Simple.

Now lighten up, and stop inciting flamewars like a d@mn troll. Don't make us wake up the Viking Kitties, they are not fond of your type.

Or find some other place to make your pointless trouble. There's lots of threads here to play on. Or go on back to DU, you smell like you came from there...
