Comment on Life without an iPhone by gxg

Yeah, I can confirm the problems with the iPhone 4S. The exact same thing happened to me immediately after buying one. Everything worked on Wi-Fi, but there was no cellular signal – or it showed that it had, only to drop it when I tried to make a call. I had to exchange it at Vodafone and that wasn’t a pleasant experience at all…
So I kinda understand what you are going through and hope you get it back in working order soon!

Thanks, that’s one great resource. Wish I’d known about it earlier, would have saved me a few hours of searching and coding!

There’s a wwdc video about writing better code that I recommend – I don’t have the link right now, though
Bottom line is, for your own sake( and others’), you should always chose clarity – make the purpose of your code clear at first sight. Compressing the if in a single line would save you a couple of lines of code, but three months from now, when you look at that condensed code, it would look messy and cluttered and take you a minor but still tiring mental effort to comprehend.
You are not coding ASM, so let the compiler do the minor optimizations for you; it will do a great job more often than not

Whatever happened to
return (a == b)
instead of the wasteful
if (a == b) {
return YES:
}
return NO;
