Personally, I don’t think the headphone jack will come back ever again. It will take some getting used too, but, I understand why it is being done. The more important thing to me is that the new iPhone hopefully, will be water proofed or, at least a lot more water resistant. > On Apr 28, 201

Persistence of hot spots

Hi, Am I correct in recalling that hot spots are saved? By that I mean for a given application they persist each time it is opened? Is there a hot spot preference file that could be saved and reused or some other method to prevent manual setting each time an application is opened? Thanks.
