Camera wifi--what?!

Canon have chosen to remove the WiFi service to my Powershot whereby I could wirelessly upload photos. They have remotely degraded the functionality of my camera after purchase without redress.

What?! I don't see how Canon even could remotely remove the wifi service to your Powershot. I think what you're claiming is technically impossible. But I've been wrong before, please enlighten me how this happened.

That said, I have two Powershots with wifi, an S110 and an S120. I haven't used the wifi recently, but last I tried, it worked fine. I have occasionally used it when I'm out, to send a photo to my phone, for e-mailing or whatever. The various Canon phone apps (IIRC there have been two or three different ones over the years) may not be models of elegant functionality, but they've always worked for me.
