I thought advertising was not allowed here, or is it not possible to disable this?

Do you seriously think that this falls under the advertising prohibition, or did I miss a joke?

Best,

It was half joke and half serious I suppose. I don't know the code for half a joke. More and more one is seeing "sent from my <insert expensive hardware here>" and I was seriously asking whether it is possible to disable the sig or whether the manufacturer insists on the free advertising. I was not seriously suggesting one should not post anything from an iPhone. Pretty much OT of course, sorry.

It is trivial to disable, and mostly harmless, therefore most people don't do it. (Duh, you have an iPhone. Most people do.)

I suspect some people who know how to find the Settings app and still keep that default sig do so as a guard against complaints about their spelling or failure to balance braces in code examples.

I have a friend whose iPhone sig reads "Sent from my iPad mini" which always gets a laff from me.

I didn't think you were.
