Apple iOS 4 Upgrade Kills Old iPhones' Wi-Fi

According to reports, upgrading to the latest iPhone operating system kills old iPhones' Wi-Fi. I don't mean the "revert-to-your-old-OS-and-it-is-fixed" kind of killed…I mean killed, as in "never works again."

Numerous threads have cropped up on Apple's support forums in the last few weeks outlining the problem: After the OS upgrade, the iPhone will no longer pick up the presence of Wi-Fi networks at all. Reverting to the old iPhone operating system does not resolve the problem, nor does resetting the phone to factory-original status.

They so did this on purpose.

Still, it's funny.

Why yes, you're absolutely right! Silly me. I always wanted the ability to hang up calls via holding the phone.

Well it's Apple's solution to the old annoying friend problem. When they call, instead of crackling a ball of paper near the phone you simply hold your phone normally and the call will drop! amazing engineering!
