Apple iPhone XR has O2 network problems

Apple and O2 have confirmed that one of the most popular iPhones does not work properly on O2's network.

Some O2 customers said on Twitter that the iPhone XR lost its signal completely several times a day.

Many customers are unable to make and receive calls or send and receive text messages.

They are also working to get a reliable 4G internet connection, which makes apps like Facebook and Instagram redundant, unless Wi-Fi is available.

An O2 spokesperson told the BBC: "We are working closely with our partners to resolve intermittent issues affecting some customers using the iPhone XR."

"We thank all affected customers for their patience."

O2 declined to say how many users the issue affected.

O2 says turning the phone off and then on again can temporarily resolve the issue.

Apple said the issue will be resolved in a new software release.

The company said: "We know that the problem that causes intermittent network connectivity affects some O2 customers and we will fix it in an upcoming software release."

O2 client Jim Jimley told BBC News that he first noticed network issues on December 16.

"Since then, I have had almost no signal."

"It may send a weak signal once or twice a day and then send it again."

Mr Buckley said that because of his son's special needs, he turned to buying a used iPhone 7 for £ 180 and needed to be contacted in case of a school emergency.

He said O2 told him that Apple has introduced this issue in the latest update of the iPhone's iOS software.

BBC News is waiting for O2 to confirm if this is the case.

Mr Buckley added that O2 provided him with one month of free line rent as compensation.

O2 and Apple told customers seeking answers on Twitter to send them messages directly.

No, your iPhone 12 or Samsung Galaxy S30 does not need a charger

The leak indicates that both Apple and Samsung are preparing to sell smartphones, such as the rumored iPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy S30, which have no packaging box or charging cable. Instead, these companies may require you to purchase a separate charger or use existing technology already at home. It turns out that this is split, because any manufacturer will lose a key part of its technology, but I believe this is the right approach. I think that manufacturers have taken more responsibility for the waste generated by ordinary people buying new technologies. Throwing unnecessary accessories into the box is a bigger step in bending electronic waste and exceeds your expectations. . According to trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 12 will not be equipped with EarPods headphones (cheap wired headphones that you can get for free), nor will it land in the box later this year. Shortly after the iPhone 12 rumors, another report indicated that Samsung is considering whether to adopt so...

Apple just proved that iPhone is more popular than Galaxy S10 and P30 Pro

According to the latest data from Strategy Analytics, Apple was the world's largest smartphone maker in the fourth quarter of 2019. Assuming the data is accurate, this means that the iPhone is more popular than any product released by Samsung or Huawei, including the Galaxy S10 and P30 series. The US tech giant is said to account for 18.9% of the global smartphone market in the fourth quarter of 2019, up from 17.5% in the same period last year. In contrast, Samsung has 18.4% market share, and Huawei has 15% market share. Chinese technology giants Xiaomi and Oppo entered the top five with 8.8% and 8.1% respectively. According to Strategy Analytics, Apple also shipped the most smartphones. Cupertino sold 70.7 million iPhones from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. It is reported that Samsung has sold 68.8 million smartphones, and Huawei ranked third with 56 million during this period. Xiaomi and Oppo once again ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. It is said that Xiaomi has s...

Apple's cheap iPhone may be released soon and this is how it looks

March is only a few weeks away from us, which means that Apple should probably release some shiny new devices. The American technology company is known for its keynote speeches in the spring, and there are many signs that it won't change in 2020. In fact, a report from the German website iPhone-ticker.de speculated that March 31st (Tuesday) would be the date Apple fans want to appear in the diary. That's obviously not out of reach, but what will Apple really reveal in this rumor? Of course, the US company never revealed anything in advance, but many hope to release updates to the popular iPhone SE. The cheap phone maker hasn't updated in years, and many hope that the lower-priced iPhone will eventually return to the store. Apple's current new smartphones start at £ 729, so those who can't use the iPhone 11 or the flagship iPhone 11 Pro will definitely love this budget model. It's unclear what upgrades the device may undergo, but some new pictures originally...
