No reply to this? So I assume then that it wasn't a "broken internal switch" at all.PeterNSandman
Funny. The problem with my old iPhone was a broken internal switch.
What "switch" was this? You say it's an internal component, and the topic was "moving parts" so you seem to imply that inside your iPhone there was a mechanical physically moving "switch" that was broken. Having seen the insides of many iPhones (I have a friend that repair them), I can assure you that no such switch exists.
Only, I didn't say that, Peter. I asked above whether it was backed up or not. How could you miss this?PeterNPeterNSandman
The phone would turn on and off, but nothing could be accessed. According t the good folks at the Apple store the diagnostic code was a bad internal switch, or something like that. It cold not be repaired. Perhaps I should have sent nospam to argue with them.
Since the topic was data loss, are you here claiming that this internal "switch" failing also made your phone backup fail? Or are you saying that in spite of your iPhone explictly asking you to, and Apple providing it for free, you declined automatic backup of your phone?
Nobody, except you, said my phone was not backed up.
Typically, you make assumptions with no factual basis.Hence the question, as shown with a question mark above.
I take it your phone *was* backed up then, and that in failing, no data was lost to you. Congratulations!
The automatic backup feature of the iPhone. The declination I asked about in the preceeding paragraph, to which you responded above.SandmanPeterN
Because if you didn't decline, and you had backup, then your replacement iPhone would just ask for your iCloud credentials and then just restore your new phone with all the data from your old phone.
Decline what??
The discussion was about the data on my hone, not on my backup, or restoration to a new phone.The discussion wasn't about the data on your phone. It was about data loss, and how smart phones are less likely to suffer from data loss due to no moving parts. You then came along and said something about some supposed "internal switch" as if that was an actual moving part and how your phone could not be repaired, but in the end, no data was lost. Not even the data on your phone which could have been retrieved with the proper tools. But since you had a backup, that wasn't worth the money it would have cost you.
No, you didn't, so I asked you. You didn't reply this time either, actually.SandmanPeterN
So regardless of this "internal switch" whatever that is supposed to mean, your phone data - while unrecoverable inside your old phone - was not actually lost since you're smart enough to utilize the automatic and free of charge backup mechanism in iCloud (or the automatic free of charge backup mechanism in iTunes if you distrust the cloud).
I never said otherwise.
So, in the end, your phone was damaged in some way, and you had a backup and your next phone was restored from that backup and all your data is intact. Not sure why you brought it up.
