T Mobile Data Throttling Plans Announced for Heavy iPhone Users

Are you one of the heavy data users and is your choice T-Mobile as iPhone carrier? Beware since this mobile operator wants to follow the steps of AT&T and start T-Mobile data throttle program. The company will haunt only a number of users and you might be out of this game enjoying your plan and never being throttled.

According to John Legere, T-Mobile is going to punish network abusers. Some users are believed to violate the carrier’s terms and conditions and find ways to overcome the limit set by the mobile operator. As noted by Legere, T Mobile data throttling will affect a small group of iPhone and other phone owners who don’t want to purchase more LTE tethering data and instead bypass the limits.

T-Mobile offers free 7GB of LTE data for its 4G LTE data plans. Once T-Mobile iPhone user reaches the limit his speed is slowed unless more data is purchased directly from the U.S. network. There are holes in this plan and some consumers find a way out of the situation.

How can you bypass T-Mobile LTE data limit? As noted by Legere, some individuals root their iPhones through different applications or write special codes to mask how much tethering data they are using. This is done by different smartphone owners, not only Apple iPhone fans.

The percent of such abusers is extremely low but T-Mobile is still going to fight with such users and throttle their data speeds. Some manage to get around 2TB of data per month by bypassing the limits.

The carrier promises to go after every user who is tricking the system and masking his or her tethering data usage within the month. Offenders will be warned by the company and if they even do the same thing again – T-Mobile is going to limit their 4G LTE data plan.

How to Call Emergency Services on iPhone with Siri

Siri emergency call service can be very important for iPhone 6 and future iPhone 6S users. Sometimes your battery is dead or you have no service available – you can still use Siri and make it place the call for you. You just need to find any charging source and connect to it to use your Apple smartphone and make it come to your rescue.

You’ll need to activate your personal assistant with ‘Hey Siri’ option. There is no need to hold the handset in your hands. However remember to plug it into your car or somewhere else since without power your gadget will not work unfortunately.

How to Call Emergency Services on iPhone

Step 1. Hold down your Home button if you have the gadget in your hands to activate Siri. If the Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint iPhone is near you, use “Hey Siri” option to do the same thing.

Step 2. Use one of the phrases below in order to call your emergency service:

*Call the Police or Call the Cops will make Siri dial the Police for you

*Phone 911 or Call 911 will make your smartphone dial the emergency line if you are in the U.S. now

*Call Emergency Services or Phone Emergency Services will also make Siri dial the special lines for you depending on what country are you in at the moment

If you don’t know the emergency line phone number you can always say ‘Dial 911’ and Apple’s assistant should find the correct contact and dial it for you. Remember that all these services require you being connected to cellular network.

You can always cancel your phone call within the next 5 seconds. But don’t place such calls without need. They should only be used in emergency situations.

24 Karat Gold iPhone 6S Price and Early Registration

Are you excited about the new lineup of Apple smartphones? Potential customers who wish to purchase the iPhone 6S gold edition can already register their interest in this expensive model. Apple doesn’t unveil much information about its new generation handsets however some consumers can’t wait and are more than eager to add their names to the waiting list.

What will iPhone 6S gold price in India and U.S. be? This is the question some users might ask. The price difference in gold edition smartphones is always pretty huge. For example, one British company was offering the 24 karat gold iPhone 6 model with diamonds for nearly $3.5 million. The cost very much depends on the firm that is customizing handsets.

While 24 karat gold iPhone 6S price is not announced yet, there are companies that let potential consumers to pre-register for their customized gadget with gold finish. Goldgenie is one of the firms that is offering such an option even before the 6s version is officially announced by Apple. Just as always, it is possible to select between rose gold, 24 karat gold and platinum iPhone finishes. The price would be around $3 million per device.

Apple is supposed to unveil next phones on September 9th. Official pre-orders should be taken beginning on September 11th and the iPhone 6s public release date should be September 18th if all the numerous rumors from China, Germany and France are real.

The “S” line will get iOS 9 pre-installed on them. This firmware is not jailbreakable at the moment since Apple patched holes in iOS 8.4.1 firmware code still hackers will continue searching for new exploits and finding more ways for untethering iOS 9 platform once Apple launches it to public.

It is curious that Goldgenie company stops taking pre-registrations for Gold edition phones on August 31st. Does it mean Apple would introduce iPhone 6s earlier than September 9th or not? We don’t know anything for sure yet.

Apple Or Samsung? The New Case in the Court

Modern customers always have to choose Apple or Samsung phone, LG or HP devices etc. There are a lot of popular brands that produce useful gadgets and consumers have hard times deciding on the model and company they would like to get [if you have iOS 8.4.1 iPhone locked to Verizon you can SIM unlock it]. It’s not a secret that there are iPhone fans, Samsung Galaxy fans and other groups of customers who like particular brand and don’t like its rivals. The similar situation happens between the famous companies that often file lawsuits against each other.

The news about Samsung vs Apple lawsuit is not surprising any more. The two smartphone creators have several cases in U.S. courts. Apple believes that its iPhone design is being copied by other companies. Other companies are sure that iPhone design patent is invalid and cannot be the design owned by Apple only because the forms of the handsets are pretty much alike.

Samsung has plans to appeal in the American Supreme Court since U.S. Appeals court has rejected the company’s appeal for re-examination of the case. The hearing might take place sometime by November.
Samsung was told to pay Apple millions of dollars because of the patent violations. At the same time, according to the USPTO, the design patent under the name D’677 for the Apple handset iPhone is invalid.

This patent might change the case and Samsung hopes to prove that it doesn’t violate the ‘fruit’ company’s patent technologies when it comes to innovations and high-tech industry. Samsung has hopes to take up the matter with the U.S. Supreme Court and require re-examination once again. The company is being supported by other firms such as Google, Dell and Facebook.

It’s not clear if the Court agrees to take up the case with iPhone design patent or not. It has time to decide till June 2016.

iPhone 6S Specs and Details Confirmed by China Telecom Rep

Will iPhone 6S China model get pink version or not? There were rumors about the new pink color for the “S” lineup of the upcoming Apple smartphones and the first iPhone 6S specs were confirmed by China Telecom representative weeks before the official public launch of this new generation handset.

There is no information about iPhone 6S China price. Still unknown sources at China Telecom have reportedly confirmed some rumors about this ‘fruit’ device before the Cupertino-based giant reveals more information about it. If you wished to get a pink iPhone in hands you’ll be sad to hear that there won’t be such models this year.

China Telecom iPhone 6s details promise no pink iDevices in 2015. The release date is supposed to be on September 18-25 and the two new gadgets, iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 6S, are believed to get the Force Touch technology, improved A9 chip, better camera and 2GB of RAM.

All these specs were already mentioned by numerous sources. China Telecom mobile operator will most likely offer iPhone 6S lineup this fall. Still the confirmations are not official so we cannot trust everything we hear about the new iOS phone before we hear what Apple has to say about its products.

This year Apple might release three different handsets. iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are rumored to be launched in mid September and iPhone 6c [affordable colorful lineup similar to iPhone 5c] could follow the two other versions later on. There still might be pink color option at least on the ‘c’ line.

It’s really unlikely for Apple to share upcoming phone details with mobile operators from different countries across the globe. The await is nearly over and a lot of anonymous sources would offer more ‘details’ about this device until the official introduction takes place in the U.S.

iPhone 6c Release Date Rumors

The next budget iPhone model price is not known and it’s hard to compare its price to the previous colorful iPhone 5c versions. Analysts predict iPhone 6c release date for the end of 2015. Apple should unveil iPhone 6S and 6S Plus smartphones first in the fall and might offer the next update in the fourth quarter.

Reports assure that the Cupertino giant is indeed creating the low cost version. iPhone 6c rumors come from China. At first not many people believed that Apple could release three new models of phones this year but now more users start to think that this could be possible. Why? Apple’s new “S” line won’t be selling as hot as iPhone 6 last year [according to rumors] so the company might prefer unveiling another choice for customers to increase revenue.

Adding another model to its sales line should not be a problem for a well-known and extremely popular company. Apple is known across the world and its brand is highly popular these days. Simplicity and elegance of the ‘fruit’ products guarantees high sales even when users expect more than the company actually offers.

You’ll be able to unlock iPhone 6c from any carrier once this model is officially launched. It should be running iOS 9 just like other 2015 gadgets introduced by Apple. But no one can tell you when exactly this low cost model will appear on the shelves.

All potential Apple customers are now waiting for the big fall release of the “S” lineup which is rumored to get Force Touch option along with other features. This won’t be a major upgrade compared to the previous year release still different carriers, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, are already offering their deals and new data plans along with attractive upgrade options to users in hopes to keep current and get new subscribers.

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?

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.
