Wishful thinking? Google mistakes its own Nexus for iPhone
Share:
The hilarious slip happened in the Swedish translation of Android 4.2 where one of the notifications mistakes the Nexus for an iPhone, and pops up the following message (rough translation follows):
"WARNING! Any operator data charges may apply. The configuration of the iPhone can require significant network activity.”
The issue was originally noticed on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but it can also be reproduced on a Nexus 4. A change in the Android Open Source Project has already fixed the issue, but its existence is what’s fun in the first place. You can try and reproduce it by going into /system/app/SetupWizard.apk on your Nexus.

iOS code is not open source so how he would copy it? Think twice before saying something!

Maybe it's time for Google now. 1st it was Nokia, then Apple and now Google. Though i think it's nothing major!

LOL Google!Why was the word iPhone even there in the first place?

This is not wishful thinking. An example of wishful thinking relating to these two phones is if Apple internally referred to the iPhone as a Nexus 4.
Calling a Nexus 4 an iPhone is a disgrace. All those responsible should be fired immediately.

if i am a kid here's what i think- THAT NEXUS' EVIL!! KILL IT BEFORE IT MAKES FRIEND WITH THE IPHONE 5!
If I'm a sensible Guy here's what I think- Just some minor Software update will solve it.

This is so made up. My friend has Samsung nexus & sister has Nexus 4. In the wifi menu, this msg doesnt appear (on both devices) when turning on data connection. The snap put here is definitely from a rooted device & an xda developer's custom ROM.
