I think you're missing the point. He didn't ignore the suggestions, he felt that particular suggestion to restore the entire phone was unacceptable. Just because Apple says to do it, doesn't mean it may be the absolute best solution so the author went about finding other possible alternatives among the community. Unfortunately, beyond jailbreaking it there was no other worthwhile solution. In the end, he did exactly what Apple told him to do... and it still failed. Now what?

You're missing my point. If a warning light on my car's dash turns on, I might look for a fix online. But if someone in a forum suggests I drive my troubled car off a cliff, I'm not going to write an angry rant accusing Ford of making me drive my car off a cliff. I'm also not going to navigate to some amateurish-looking website that's obviously not affiliated with Ford, and claim that I can't tell it apart from Ford's website (and imply that Ford is somehow responsible for my confusion). And if I can't fix it myself, I'll bring the car in for servicing, rather than writing a linkbait article speculating about what the repairman might tell me. (In fact, if the phone is a year old and it has a legitimate issue, Apple might just hand him a new phone... I find that scenario more in line with my own experiences, but we'll never know, since he couldn't be bothered). > Unfortunately, beyond jailbreaking it there was no other worthwhile solution. Really? Because he listed a bunch that all seemed more worthwhile.
