story of stuff and my iPhone
Last night my phone starting acting up, so I figured maybe it is time to get the new update that I have been putting off for weeks now. I plugged in my phone, began the update, and continued to get ready for work. I figured by the time I was done getting ready my phone would be updated and I could continue with the rest of my day. Well that is not what happened after my phone attempted to update, it said I had to connect it to iTunes so I did. I tried to update it once again and then this message popped up after waiting another 20 minutes, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. An unknown error occurred (1671)". Another message said that if my phone could not update I would have to then restore it to factory settings. My first thought was why today?! I began to panic because I was already thinking of all the photos, school notes, calendar events, contacts, and alarm codes for work (basically all the important things I need on a daily basis no big deal) I was going to lose if I could not get my phone updated. My second thought was the video we watched about stuff in class and I felt even more angry because now I was first hand experiencing how the system works! My phone is an SE and I just purchased it last month, so there is no reason why my phone should be giving me any trouble! But I also thought it is an older model, the new iPhone just came out last month so maybe this is why this is happening. After calming myself down I realized I was just going to have to be without a phone until I could got home to come up with a different solution before having to restore my phone. I must admit it was a challenge being without my phone because I did not have anyone's number memorized, but at the same time I kind of enjoyed not having my phone on me all day. When I got home I was tired, sleepy and hungry so I decided to wait until today to try to resolve my problem. So now I am currently on the phone with iTunes tech support and I am hopping to find an answer to why my phone has been acting up. :(

My brother just got a new phone because his iPhone 6 was acting up. He would have it charged and right at 90% it would completely shut off for no reason, and at first he was able to get it back on if he just pulled it on the charger, but there was once he could not get it able to turn back on for hours no matter if it was pulled in or not. We took it to get it checked out and they told us on restore it because its sometimes the updates they have glitches, if not bring it back. So we did what they told us and after that is when the phone just shut up and would not restart. It chose to turn on at a random time during the day. So he recently took it in again and they told him they didn't know what was wrong that he just had to trade it in. And his phone was not that old, well old now because the 7 is out but it was well taken care off. I also have a friend who notices that her phone starts acting up right before they are going to release a new phone, she's like its just my luck, and I told her about the Story of Stuff, and how we think its just luck but its them wanting us to buy the newer version, and most just fall for it.
