I’ve been having the same issues. Frankly this is the last straw. I’m tired of having to buy new charger cords and the proprietary nature of Apple. I like how secure iPhones are. But the hassle with music is a pain. My kids iPad is a paperweight now because I can’t get it unlocked. They build redundancy into updates after a few versions of iPhone so we’re forced to upgrade. I’ll keep my MacBook Air because they are solid, but switching to droids for my family’s phones.
