Hello, everyone.
I recently brought my 2.5-year-old iPhone 5 into my local Apple store for a
battery check. It passed well, but the technician who did the work-up told
me that two apps, one of which was the Audible app, had slightly damaged
the iOS installation. He could repair the OS, he said,
Hello, Mary.
I'm sorry to tell you I have given up using any version of Audible later

Unfortunately I have to admit that I have had my IPhone 5s for over a year now

these back up again.
Yes, the IPhone rocks in general in my opinion!

You're right that people running iOS betas can't write reviews. However, you
