AT&T iPhone Unlock iOS 8.4.1 Possibility

What is the newest mobile firmware for iPhone? The famous Cupertino-based company released iOS 8.4.1 in August making it the most recent public version of operating system for its handset users.

If you are planning to resell your AT&T iPhone 6 or other model and get a newer iPhone 6S / 6S Plus this fall you might want to unlock iOS 8.4.1 AT&T iPhone 6 right now.

Why do people make their gadgets SIM free? It’s not a secret that potential customers are more likely to buy a used SIM unlocked iPhone than a locked one. The retail price of a never-locked or unlocked model is much higher than on the device locked to any network within or outside the U.S.

AT&T iPhone unlock iOS 8.4.1 is now a great deal that could give you extra money to make the purchase of the “S” line more affordable. Even if you have a contract model it might be better to unlock and resell it. Not all customers are going to upgrade to iPhone 6S using AT&T program because this carrier becomes expensive.

How to Unlock iPhone AT&T Without Account

If you don’t have account within AT&T but still own a locked iPhone [run IMEI checker to make sure you are tied to AT&T network in the U.S.] – you can order factory service that doesn’t require any accounts with carriers.

You just need to learn if you are blacklisted or whitelisted, barred / blocked or clean, get your IMEI code, information about original carrier and iPhone model – and you can perform distant permanent and affordable SIM unlock of AT&T iPhone 6, 6 Plus or earlier models.

This is very simple and pretty cheap. You can be completely SIM free within a couple of days and use all possible mobile operators along with AT&T.

AT&T iPhone Users Can Get Free Galaxy S6 Edge

Do you have Apple smartphone locked to AT&T network? Would you like to try a different device or carrier without having to order distant AT&T iPhone unlock service? Samsung trial program is a new deal that provides ‘fruit’ device owners an opportunity to test Galaxy S6 edge or other Android model at no cost.

Free Galaxy S6 edge test drive could last for up to 30 days. Samsung starts this offer in hopes to attract more customers and show iPhone users that other phones could also be interesting and work just fine. The program offers either S6 edge or S6 edge+ as well as Galaxy Note versions that you can use for nearly a month without obligations.

If you are interested in this program you could give it a try. It is called Ultimate Test Drive. You can’t get the new phone for free because ‘free’ means paying $1 for test drive option. This is still a great option for customers who have doubts about upcoming Apple iPhone 6S lineup and still don’t want to give in with AT&T iPhone 6 or other handset model yet.

Samsung promises to offer the pre-activated SIM card along with the phone and special data plan that makes switching from iPhone to Android phone simpler. Still you should remember that Apple is often accused in not letting users to switch easily since a lot of people who did switch from ‘fruit’ to Android platform report that they stop getting texting messages from their iPhone friends because of technical issues Apple experiences.

Samsung hopes that after trying its latest devices iPhone owners will take a decision to switch completely and leave Apple along with AT&T and other U.S. carriers.

It is required to sign up for Samsung Test Drive option in order to get the free testing period and see how Galaxy or other smartphone deals with everything you are so used on your iPhone gadget.

Sprint iPhone 6s Upgrade Program and Forever Plan

Sprint iPhone upgrade program gets rid of two-year contracts. U.S. customers who are planning to get the Sprint iPhone 6S this fall will be able to purchase it without the 24-month commitment. At the same time the mobile operator adds a new data plan that is meant to attract new and keep current subscribers.

According to the company, it is planning to completely kill the 2-year contracts by the end of 2015. Customers will be able to either purchase or lease iPhone from Sprint. The two other companies, T-Mobile and Verizon network, have already done the same thing.

At the same time, Sprint should offer the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus with the model’s cost divided over a series of payments. In case a consumer wants to switch the network before the device is paid off he will have to pay the remaining balance for the ‘fruit’ phone.

Sprint iPhone Forever plan is a new program that offers subscribers an opportunity to lease the popular iOS smartphone with the soon upgrade to the most recent model. Leasing program will cost $22 per month, according to reports.

Will there be no subsidized handsets in the U.S. any more? Major networks believe that smaller companies might still offer such a deal however this won’t last forever because of the new market demand.

Sprint wants to compete with T-Mobile which calls itself ‘un-carrier’ company that went away from contracts and now forces other networks take the same step. It’s curious that while most U.S. carriers are losing subscribers – T-Mobile is attracting new customers with its no-contract plans and attractive deals.

How comfortable were you with contract options offered by Sprint for iPhone purchases? Do you think that leasing is better opportunity along with upgrade to the newer smartphone a soon as it is officially launched by Apple?

Can I Restore Permanently Deleted Files on iCloud?

Apple changes some things for its iOS users. If you own AT&T iPhone or any other smartphone, tablet or computer developed by the Cupertino-based company, you can now recover deleted files on iCloud through your account and never lose important contacts and other information even if you delete it by accident.

Can I restore permanently deleted files on iCloud? Yes, you can do this now. The famous ‘fruit’ giant has added the new option to its iOS firmware and allows users getting back the files that were deleted for good [it is also possible to reduce data usage on your iPhone 6].

If you wanted to recover your Contacts, Calendars or other Files earlier it was impossible to do. There was no such a feature in iCloud menu. Now, when you login into your iCloud.com account you can find the new option in Settings and use it to restore what you wish to recover. The process is fast, simple and superb.

Where can you recover the files to? You could guess that the deleted files can be restored to your iCloud Drive. Unfortunately, you cannot get back the files there were lost a year ago. However the feature supports those files and contacts that were created within the last 30 days.

The option should work only if you deleted files a couple of days ago and wish to bring them back today. The program shows how many days you have in order to restore the lost or deleted files. Such information or timestamp appears when you delete the file. Apple gives you a month for this right now but it might allow longer moments in the future for opportunities to restore the files on iCloud.

It could happen that the same option is brought to the new iOS 9 and OS X El Capital that are expected to be officially released this fall.

iPhone 6S Release Date Confirmed

When one German carrier, Deutsche Telekom, announced that it was starting to take pre-orders for the next iPhone 6S lineup, users began to wonder when Apple was planning to officially unveil this device. The new report names the official iPhone 6S release date [T-Mobile is believed to become the most popular network this fall].

As several networks in Germany note, iPhone 6S release date will be in September. We’ve heard that experts rumored different early and mid-September launch times however the German mobile operators can name the exact day when this is planned to happen.

The most recent news mentions September 18th as the official public iPhone 6S launch date. It could be real and we’ve heard this date before. Some Chinese sources were sure Apple was going to introduce the new smartphone in early September and launch it on the 18th.

German carriers think that the Cupertino-based company will unveil the 6S Plus and 6S models on September 9th. The ‘fruit’ giant should also present the new TV and iPad along with the handsets.

The U.S. pre-orders could be taken beginning on September 10 or 11. German users can already place their name to the pre-order list organized by Deutsche Telekom to be among the first customers who will buy iPhone 6S / 6S Plus.

Unknown sources stated that at least two carriers in Germany confirmed the September 18 iPhone 6S release date. They are preparing for this date and thus U.S. consumers can also get prepared and think which local carrier is the best to get the phone from.

It doesn’t matter that much if you buy iPhone 6S Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile as you can easily get it SIM unlocked through factory IMEI unlocking service. This is the safest way to become independent from all networks and switch SIM cards with easy.

Would you like to get iPhone 6S or 6S Plus or are you happy with your current iPhone 6 or 6 Plus?

Apple Pay Australia Release Coming Soon

Apple Pay Australia release is a long expected one. The famous iPhone maker presented its new payment system in the U.S. a year ago. At first banks and financial institutions were skeptical about such step however the huge demand from customers made them change their mind. Today Apple Pay is a popular payment method among millions of Americans who have the AT&T iPhone, Verizon smartphones and like to check out in a click.

The rumors state that Apple Pay in Australia could be delayed. This system was delayed in the UK but everything is ok now. The problems with the new launch are not that huge. The ‘fruit’ giant is believed to negotiate with local banks over transaction fees and this is the main reason of the delay.

Local sources assure that Apple is talking with 4 biggest Australian banks. Still the company can’t agree on the fees per transaction at the moment. U.S. customers pay about 15 cent one very $100 they pay through the ‘fruit’ payment system. Still Australian iPhone owners and consumers are used to pay half less for interchange fees and banks believe that 0.15% fee could be tough to digest for financial institutions here.

For the last two years the major Australian banks were offering Android users NFC based payments so the upcoming Apple Pay release here won’t be such a revolution. Still Apple is interested in new markets so it is trying to introduce its products in many new countries with Australia on the list.

Some experts think that Apple could release its payment option in Australia with a smaller bank at first. It is easier to negotiate with smaller market players since major banks are not interested in the third-company coming to their market and take their place with a new payment system.

The company is also believed to release its payment service in Canada and China.

Do you know the best US network iPhone? It has been named by RootMetrics once again. This independent organization checks all the major and popular mobile operators in the United States every year and says what company deserves to be called ‘the top’ one.

All the big carriers fight for the name of best iPhone carrier in US by offering new deals, discounts and data plans. They have to keep everyone’s attention by creating new marketing strategies and getting placed on TV. The competition is tough as there are four main companies that wish to stay ‘number one’ – Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint – they all want to be the winner.

What is the best iPhone carrier in 2015? According to RootMetrics [this firm tests the networks to see where the best data performance, voice calls and texts are], this year’s top company is… Verizon Wireless [here are some details on Verizon iPhone 6S purchase options].

The Big Red company as Verizon is also called placed the same spot a year ago. It tested 512 rewards while AT&T got 441, T-Mobile got 221 and Sprint got 180 from the firm. You can see that the second place goes to AT&T carrier even though this company is making iPhone purchase more expensive this fall.

Some users already got a chance to test AT&T WiFi calling New York opportunity. It only works on iOS 9 beta 5 and should become public along with iOS 9 final release this September.

AT&T or T-Mobile: What iPhone Carrier Is The Best

Once in a while new and existing iPhone users question themselves “AT&T or TMobile better or Sprint / Verizon” – and while it is impossible to give the answer at once, there are some things that might sound too real.

So what iPhone carrier is the best? I am sure that a lot of AT&T customers believe that their mobile operator has the best coverage and options. At the same time a big number of users are leaving AT&T these days because of expensive fees and data throttling. The carrier has a lot of iPhone users grandfathered in unlimited data plans and they suffer from low speeds.

T-Mobile iPhone users also think that their carrier is the best one. You probably know John Legere from this company. He can surprise users and likes to speak about rivals assuring they are finding ways ‘to screw users out of extra money” and something similar to this. He is always challenging other U.S. carriers and this way they should also become better and offer great deals to their subscribers.

If you are traveling a lot you might want to either unlock AT&T iPhone 6 / 6 Plus or switch to T-Mobile. Why? AT&T vs T Mobile comparison proves that the second company is better for international calls because you can call for free from Canada. You also get unlimited data, texting and calling and can leave your mobile operator at any time. If you are locked to AT&T you cannot just leave without becoming unlocked in the first place.

AT&T has its benefits as well. Still T-Mobile seems to look more into the future and offers unexpected packages and deals AT&T might never offer.

Deutsche Telekom iPhone 6S Reservations Open

Anyone who wants to buy iPhone 6S online in Germany can reserve their Apple smartphone from Deutsche Telekom [learn more about iPhone 6S deals from Verizon]. The carrier added a new online reservation program and this way potential customers can pre-order their next ‘fruit’ smartphone version.

The official “S” line release date is sometime in September. Rumors state that these smartphones are already in the production and Apple is expected to announce them in early or mid September. The official launch should follow in a week after the introduction.

Deutsche Telekom iPhone 6S reservations are available through online program. Right now the mobile operator offers this opportunity to a limited group of users only. Those who wish to get the new contract with Deutsche Telekom or extend their current options with the iPhone 6S or 6S Plus can reserve a phone.

Still the official name of the new gadget isn’t confirmed [at the same time there are some interesting China Mobile iPhone 6S rumors]. Deutsche Telekom doesn’t call models 6S or 6S Plus. It only says ‘the next generation iPhone’. It also doesn’t mention the exact release or delivery date.

If you are interested in signing up for the new smartphone you could add your name to the reservation list. Be prepared for waiting since we don’t know when the famous iPHone could appear on your doorstep.

We should note that a similar program was released by Deutshce Telekom back in 2011 when Apple announced its iPhone 4S line. Customers were offered to reserve a model a month before the official release. This could mean that Apple might present iPhone 6S in a month from now.

Remember that the list is formed on the first-come, first-serve basis so if you don’t like to wait in line in front of Apple store on the public launch date you better reserve a spot in German list created by Deutsche Telekom.
