Apple admits Chinese iPhone 4S issues

Last month, consumers literally went wild for the iPhone 4S when it launched in China. A rabble fought in the streets of Beijing andegged the Apple Store when it refused to open to the irate crowd.
Now, Jinghua.cn reports that iPhone 4Ss operating under China Mobile SIM cards have a glitch that prevents users from turning the device on, while an additional fault prevents the phone from receiving calls even when the screen displays full signal.
Apple's customer service team have addressed the issue and are currently working on a permanent solution. In the meantime, consumers have been offered a temporary fix, which requires upgrading to a new iOS and altering the device's network settings, though it's unclear whether this will compute with all of the faulty iPhones, according to the report.
However, there's also speculation that it may be a faulty batch of China Mobile SIMs, rather than an Apple error.
The discovery marks Apple's second 4S blunder. The first, of course, was virtual assistant Siri unlocking devicesto unauthorised users.
