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.

Do you have any preferences when it comes to choosing your mobile operator for the new iPhone 6S Apple should release this fall?

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.

How to Unlock iOS 8.4.1 iPhone from Verizon, Sprint

Apple updated its mobile firmware to the new version iOS 8.4.1 in August. All iPhone owners who have a locked device can order iOS 8.4.1 iPhone SIM unlock service and get the permanent unlocked status for their handset model. The service supports all smartphones beginning with iPhone 4S and up to 6 Plus. iPhone 4 and earlier models cannot run iOS 8.4.1 because this operating system doesn’t support them.

You can learn how to unlock iOS 8.4.1 using popular IMEI factory unlock method. It has helped millions of users from all over the world to get an opportunity to connect to different networks and choose data plans that offer the best price and service.

If you happen to own a used iPhone or have no idea what operator you are tied to, you can run iPhone IMEI network check service that provides all necessary information about the device. Such a checker helps to select the correct unlocking package and get positive result sooner.

Permanent iPhone iOS 8.4.1 unlock is a great way to own a never-locked model that works with any network. Usually Apple sells such smartphones at the full price. Since it is pretty expensive a lot of customers choose to get the locked version at a lower cost and later have it officially and permanently unlocked. This is way cheaper and such thing can be done at any stage whenever you are ready for this.

Is it safe to use such a method? This is completely safe. Everyone who has ordered the service will assure you that you have no risks because no programs are installed on the gadget, no one touches your iPhone except you and everything is done distantly. You just need to know your original carrier and IMEI.

In case you don’t want to unlock iOS 8.4.1 you will be able to SIM unlock iOS 9 iPhone as soon as Apple releases this firmware version in the fall.

Verizon iPhone Data Plans 2015 to Get More Expensive

The next Verizon iPhone 6S price is expected to be more expensive than current Apple phones sold by this U.S. carrier. The network decided to get away from subsidizing plans. This means that Apple iPhones price is to get higher this year.

Those of you who got used to $199 Verizon iPhone should understand that this is an illusion that ended in August. Verizon iPhone data plans 2015 offer contract-free options to customers. This means that the 2-year commitment would be no longer available to U.S. consumers and the network won’t take hundred dollars as a subsidized deal on the phones it is selling.

verizon-iphone-new-data-plans

A lot of Apple fans got used to upgrading their phone every two years. They got used to the network paying off about $450 difference and getting a subsidized plan for the two years of using the contract device along with higher monthly service rates. Their minds now think about about iPhone 6 cost as $199 and not $649 as the never-locked version really costs.

What choices would customers get this fall? It looks like you’ll have to buy new iPhones by paying upfront or within a number of payments made per month base.

Could the new policy cause users purchase used iPhones and unlock Verizon iPhone models through factory IMEI service? Experts think this could be the case because older devices get lower rates from networks.

Would other companies take advantage of such situation? Apple’s iPhones are pretty expensive compared with other rivals and users who don’t want to pay too much for their gadget could purchase other brands that are cheaper and also have a lot of functions.

Let’s wait for the fall when Apple officially releases iPhone 6S and 6S Plus and all networks announce their prices for this new generation handset lineup.

iOS 9 WiFi Calling Brings Support for AT&T iPhone 6 / 6S

A lot of users might have already downloaded iOS 9 beta 5 that was released in August by Apple and can be downloaded through direct no UDID links even though this testing version is meant for registered developers. This update brings AT&T WiFi calling 2015 support that was rumored to roll out and seems to be officially released soon.

iOS 9 WiFi calling has already supported T-Mobile and Sprint networks. Verizon is the only company that doesn’t hurry to support the new option. If you wish to use such an option this fall you might want to SIM unlock Verizon iPhone 6 even though this carrier also promises to offer full support sometime this year.

ios-9-att-wifi-calling-iphon

AT&T WiFi Calling iPhone 6 feature hasn’t been tested by users yet because it is not available to most of them. Still the new mobile platform does support the option. This means that AT&T iPhone subscribers should be able to make cellular calls using WiFi network when their cellular signal is too weak or absent.

If you have the AT&T iPhone that is running iOS 9 beta 5 you can launch Settings and take a look into your iPhone menu. You’ll find WiFi Calling feature there which you cannot enable at the moment but it should work once Apple officially presents the next operating system for mobile devices.

The U.S. carrier doesn’t say when it is going to roll out this feature. According to rumors, this should happen sometime in September however the option is already being tested in some U.S. regions. If you are lucky to live in the area where AT&T is testing WiFi Calling you might be able to actually turn it on right now even within the beta iOS 9 version.

Do you think iOS 9 will be cooler than iOS 8? We all know that Apple should still unveil iOS 8.4.1 as the company is testing this firmware along with future iOS 9.

T Mobile To Become Most Popular iPhone Carrier?

Could T-Mobile become the most popular iPhone carrier? It looks like this network has all the chances of smoking its rivals and there are some numbers you will be interested to see. If you haven’t chosen T Mobile iPhone data plan yet and are thinking about purchasing the next Apple iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus that should be released in the fall – here is the information you should learn.

The now-well-known ‘un-carrier’ network offers different T Mobile iPhone data plan options you can choose from. It also introduces new initiatives and the deals sound very attractive making more customers choose to switch to this network and leave AT&T, Sprint or Verizon companies.

T Mobile Carrier of Future

All the offers and new initiatives introduced by T-Mobile don’t stay unnoticed by users. The carrier continues to get more users and walk up the stairs of the U.S. mobile network market which was traditionally dominated by Verizon iPhone carrier and AT&T.

For example, the Q2 2015 brought over 11 percent of service revenue growth to T-Mobile while all other carriers got “-“ results [AT&T reached -0.2 percent, Verizon -1.8 percent and Sprint -7.6 percent].

The overall wireless revenue growth was also more positive for T-Mobile [+13 percent] since other companies didn’t reach as much [+5.3% for Verizon and +2.1 percent for AT&T network] and Sprint got negative 8 percent growth.

T-Mobile also gets more postpaid phones in the same quarter than its rivals with +760,000 result while AT&T lost 12,000 postpaid devices and AT&T lost 322,000 phones in Q2. This shows how popular T-Mobile becomes in the United States. More customers seem to trust ‘un-carrier’ network and its data plans. Of course, T-Mobile cannot boast the number of total subscribers as AT&T or Verizon but it surely has the impact to make other local companies feel nervous.

Verizon iPhone 6s Contract Details: No More 2-year Options

All the plans offered by T-Mobile ‘un-carrier’ company influence other U.S. networks. For example, users will no longer find Verizon iPhone contract details because this mobile operator decided to kill its contract offers [here is more information about T-Mobile and Sprint iPhone plans for subscribers].

verizon-iphone-no-contract

Could you really imagine Verizon no contract smartphones? The company brought the Edge and More Everything data plans to users and probably decided it was time to ditch the contracts for good. This means the the next iPhone 6s and 6s Plus should be offered through data plans and without any contract.

The official announcement was made last week. The operator introduced its plans as different options offered to customers. This includes Small $30 option [1GB of monthly data], Medium [3GB of data per month] worth $45, Large [6GB and $60] and X-Lard [12GB and $80]. If you are looking for Verizon iPhone contract renewal feature you won’t find it however you’ll be forced to pay $15 for each GB you use after your allotted data is used already.

This is not all the changes Verizon iPhone 6s and 6s Plus customers should expect. This carrier is going to charge you $20 per phone. Besides you’ll have to pay for the iPhone itself so your monthly bill will be higher than you expect and its final price very depends on the model of the ‘fruit’ device you’ll choose to get.

Everyone who is already subscribed to Verizon will be grandfathered in his or her data plan without any changes. Of course, you could choose a new plan if you want to but the company is not planning to force you into this. Still if you plan on upgrading from iPhone 5, 5S or 6 to the 6s line you’ll get the new options only with all the monthly payments.

It is expected that the new Verizon iPhone plans are to be released on August 13.

Verizon iPhone 6S Deals and Not “Iconic” Apple Phone

Different U.S. carriers are silently preparing for the upcoming massive iPhone upgrade that will definitely come to the United States this fall. Apple is going to release its new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. This even would most likely happen in mid-September. Since some customers are planning to buy iPhone 6S Verizon Wireless model this mobile operator is also planning on some offers.

The “S” line of the gadgets would get the same design as iPhone 6 however it would come with new features, Force Touch technology, better cameras and a lot of other updates that could interest customers and make them buy it from Apple or carriers.

verizon-iphone6s-deals

Are users expecting attractive Verizon iPhone 6S deals [by the way you could easily clean bad ESN or MEID for iPhone Verizon]? We bet they do as a year ago when Apple was presenting its iPhone 6 Plus and 6 models Verizon offered several promotions. Of course, other U.S. operators did the same thing: Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile were all promoting the device and fighting for subscribers.

As Verizon notes, the Q4 2014 brought many equipment revenue and most sales were brought by subsidy devices. It looks like the iPhone 6S wouldn’t be that ‘iconic’ since the carrier doesn’t see this ‘iconic device’ being too different from previous versions [in other words you can get the current generation device and order iPhone 6 Verizon Wireless unlock to become SIM free]. Users don’t expect major changes in the smartphones and thus the demand might not be as high as in 2014-2015 with the 6 and 6 Plus versions.

The equipment subsidies are expected to stay lower than a year ago and iPhone sales could be slower as well. You would still be able to order factory IMEI unlock for Verizon iPhone once it is available for purchase. This is the most affordable way to get a never-locked Apple handset without voiding warranty.
How successful would this year be to U.S. carriers? T-Mobile is hoping that iPhone 6S would make it more popular compared to its rivals. What do you expect in the fall?

Sprint vs T-Mobile Plans for iPhone Users

Would you like to compare Sprint vs T-Mobile plans for iPhone? Are you an Apple fan who is looking for the best network? We are happy to share what we’ve learned about these two carriers and their wireless plan offers you can get this summer.

Both mobile operators offer Wireless plans for iPhone 6 users. You can always order Sprint iPhone TMobile unlock if you choose Sprint network and later decide that you would better go with T-Mobile carrier in the U.S. Luckily factory IMEI unlocking service supports all mobile operators and guarantees fast results at an affordable price.

sprint-tmobile-iphone-data-plan

Sprint offers All-In Wireless data plan for iPhone 6 users. For example, you can choose the $80 monthly plan for the 16GB smartphone model. The carrier promises that you get a good value at this price and that this plan is more economical than unlimited packages offered by T-Mobile.

The U.S. carrier T-Mobile, on the other hand, offers Jump! On Demand plan that lets customers to lease the iPhone 6.

What carrier is better? There were reports about Sprint network problems and this caused subscribers to switch to a different mobile operator, AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon. The situation is much better now however new users should keep in mind the new pricing strategy used by this mobile company since the U.S. carrier has plans to increase the price of its unlimited data plans for iPhone and other phone users.

T-Mobile could take advantage and jump ahead this year. The carrier is already promising some amazing deals on the upcoming iPhone 6S and 6S Plus models. It also offers the free upgrade option to all consumers who purchase the current iPhone 6 right now. Does it sound interesting?

We are sure that both AT&T and Verizon are also coming up with new deals to attract customers this fall. All the carriers will start a new fight for subscribers as soon as the Cupertino-based giant releases the new smartphone line.

iPhone 6S China Price and China Mobile News

How much will the next Apple smartphone cost in China? How good would be China Mobile LTE iPhone 6S speeds? Some of these questions have been answered by the carrier. There were rumors before that assured the new-gen handset would get quicker LTE in China with download speeds of up to 300 Mbps and they seem to be confirmed even before the official iPhone 6S release date.

china-mobile-iphone-6s-lte-news

Qualcomm is expected to provide both 6S and 6S Plus models with the 4G LTE modem. These Apple gadgets would work on Cat 6 LTE. Is it true? We don’t know. Still some of the unnamed sources mention such information and promise the future handsets will really feature this modem with Cat 6 LTE support.

There is no information about iPhone 6S China price and unlock packages yet. The pricing will appear closer to the official launch of the device in Asia. At the same time China Mobile has already mentioned its partnerts that would work with Cat 6 LTE technology and Apple is on the list. This is the confirmation of the fact that new Apple iDevices would get high download speeds.

It is believed that both iPhone 6S and 6S Plus would look similar to the current generation models [you can unlock iPhone 6 from China Mobile in case you are tied to this carrier and wish to use other networks as well, however if you are planning to purchase the next 6S version being also locked it is better to wait and factory unlock it]. The main difference could be the thickness as the 6S could be a bit thicker than the 6 version.

Both 6S phones should include the A9 processor, better Ram and cameras as well as other great features. They should also come with iOS 9 pre-installed. Apple is currently testing iOS 9 betas hoping to bring the firmware without any known issues and bugs.
