Not all Apple fans are rushing to get the most recent smartphone models. Some customers enjoy purchasing the previous generation device with a big discount. If you are looking for the iPhone 6 Plus price drop [you can use iPhone IMEI checker to learn everything about your handset] – you should know that right now is the best moment for purchasing this gadget because U.S. retailers are offering great discounts on the bigger iPhone version that was officially released a year ago.

Apple will soon present the next generation iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. This is the main reason for the big price drops noticed. A lot of companies have already slashed iPhone 6 Plus price by $100 if you agree to get it with the 2-year contract from AT&T or other American mobile operators.

It is also great that iPhone 6 Plus price cut does not only give you a nice discount but also allows later upgrading to the iPhone 6S Plus at no additional charge. Such program is offered by a number of U.S. stores.

The starting cost of the 6 Plus model locked to Sprint and Verizon is $199. This price should be soon offered at AT&T iPhone 6 Plus and Verizon model by carriers. Right now the deals are offered by Best Buy stores and this is the place to stop by if you wish to buy this iOS handset in August.

Remember that you can either unlock AT&T iPhone 6 Plus as soon as you purchase the locked 2-year contract model or wait for 6S Plus release, upgrade and SIM unlock this next smartphone. Modern unlocking services let users become completely independent from all mobile operators and this is safe because your Apple warranty isn’t voided.

What do you think about the current price drop on the ‘fruit’ devices? Is it worth to make a purchase now?

The new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus models should be released this fall and Apple is rumored to increase the shipments of iPhone 6S Force Touch technology used in these devices [if you are planning to resell your older version you can use iPhone IMEI checker to find out the original carrier and other details about it]. These rumors suggest that both versions of the new generation smartphone should get the Force Touch built-in. Right now only some Macs and Watch have it.

The different reports note that the Cupertino-based company was getting its new technology in small quantities beginning in June. The production was believed to increase in July and August to meet the soon deadline when customers would be able to purchase the better gadget from the ‘fruit’ online stores.

Apple Force Touch technology should appear in 36-40 million units of the upcoming iDevice. At least this is what experts think would be shipped in the upcoming quarter of the year. Another 50 million could follow in September-December since this is the time for holidays a lot of people are waiting for. Not all consumers buy the iPhone just when it is launched. Some customers prefer getting the phone as a Christmas gift.

Remember that even if you get the locked iPhone 6S and 6S Plus you will be able to factory SIM unlock it right out of the package. Thanks to the official and legit service it is possible to unlock iPhone 6S AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint as well as other world carriers. Everything is very fast, simple and affordable.

The future model should get Force Touch module, quick A9 processor, improved cameras and 2GB RAM. Apple is also rumored to drop the 16GB model and offer only 32GB and up versions of its new iPhone 6S / 6S Plus still this information hasn’t been confirmed yet.

All AT&T iPhone users might be curious to know some information about Sprint throttling data speeds [if you don’t know your mobile network name you can use IMEI network checker]. This U.S. carrier just like AT&T used to slow down download and upload speeds for its heavy data users but it has changed the policy recently.

Does Sprint throttle iPhone data subscribers? The company decided to choose a different route. While the FCC is trying to hit AT&T carrier with a huge $100 million fine because it throttles people who are still on the grandfathered unlimited data plans, Sprint has chosen to follow the neutrality rules offered by the FCC. It will no longer throttle those users who need more data than anyone else.

So the answer to the question “Does Sprint throttle unlimited data plans?” is “no.” The mobile operator still thinks that throttling could be accepted under the FCC new rules but this network now prefers to ‘be safe than sorry.’

A year ago Sprint assured that the top five percent of its heavy users would be throttled in congested areas. All subscribers received such a note from the network. The message also mentioned the heavy usage time throttling, however now, in 2015, Sprint changed this rule and promises to no longer throttle users.

Some other users might even like to SIM unlock AT&T iPhone 6 or other models and jump to Sprint network because the AT&T still throttles heavy users and Sprint doesn’t. This looks like a good plan for attracting more customers especially when the FCC is trying to make AT&T pay for throttling users.

What do you think about the news? Do you mind being throttled by your mobile network or not? It’s not a secret that a lot of companies can slow down the speeds at heavy data usage times but customers are not happy with such a practice.

AT&T iPhone 5 unlimited data is not that unlimited [if you are not sure what your carrier you are locked to you can use iPhone IMEI network checker]. The silent throttling of subscribers makes the FCC suspicious and, as a result, it files $100 million fine to the U.S. Big Blue mobile network. If you are using one of the AT&T unlimited data plans you might experience the times when your speeds get throttled by the company.

Officially AT&T notes that it offers AT&T iPhone 6 unlimited data plan and the same packages for all other phone models. Users who choose such a plan can be unhappy when their speeds get down because of the carrier’s decision to slow them down.

It is interesting that users who experience slow speeds are not even told this is happening. So the FCC decided to check everything and found out that sometimes the throttling gets to the point when a user cannot use the basic mobile apps.

It is also interesting to hear that AT&T subscribers who suffered from bad connection had to deal with such crazy low speeds for up to 12 days in a row. Such policy cannot make all users too happy and no everyone knows how to officially unlock AT&T iPhone 6, 5 or other model to become SIM free and use a different carrier that doesn’t throttle your data speeds.

AT&T has never got such a high fine. The company believes that it warned users about throttling them and it was the FCC that ignored such messages. At the same time the FCC thinks that the warnings made by the carrier ‘were not clear enough.’

The information about throttled users is not surprising. Some carriers announce such plans but the FCC thinks that the companies must outline their decisions to throttle speeds in a different way that is fully understood by each subscriber.

Apple has updated its iOS 8.4 and iOS 9 beta letting developers test a new fifth version and users wait for the soon public release date. Is it possible to unlock iOS 8.4 iPhone 6? It is actually possible even if you are running beta at the moment. There is nothing difficult or complicated about it because factory unlock supports ALL firmwares.

You can place iPhone 6 AT&T unlock request and perform iOS 8.4 SIM unlock for contract and off contract models. This is the safest service you can find on the web. Before you choose to proceed it is better to learn in details how to unlock iOS 8.4 iPhone that is currently running any 8.4 beta or will soon be updated to the final OS version.

How to Unlock AT&T iPhone 6 iOS 8.4

Step 1. Before you choose to order any types of unlocks you should check your iPhone model, carrier and a couple of important statuses. For example, you can use IMEI network checker, blacklist check service and contract / off contract service.

Step 2. Re-check your iPhone model and iOS version it is running.

Step 3. It is always best to double check everything before you finally order AT&T iPhone 6 iOS 8.4 unlocking service or other models / carriers.

Step 4. Order unlock and wait till you become SIM free.

It is great that after you are factory unlocked you can install newer versions of iOS firmware or downgrade to previous versions supported by Apple. The unlock will remain untouched. Besides, you can later jailbreak iOS 8.4 or other firmware. Chinese groups of hackers are working on the tools though Apple doesn’t really like this.

Unlock, at the same time, is official and allowed by the iPhone maker. It is permanent, quick and simple. Apple warranty is untouched this is why the service is 100% safe for all iOS users.

Apple’s next iPhone 6S rumors specs are already mentioned by experts and analysts. The company hasn’t unveiled this next generation smartphone yet and it will most likely keep it in secret until its official release sometime in the fall 2015 [find out about AT&T and T-Mobile network interoperability coming this year] but for now we can already say what iPhone 6S display size might be like.

What do rumors say? They promise us even sharper displays for the eighth generation smartphone from Apple. The company is believed to offer better iPhone 6S display resolution with 1080p panel. Besides, this handset might come with the 2K screen that is superior sharp compared to the current popular iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 and its larger ‘bro’ 6 Plus.

Could the next iOS smartphone match the high res screens offered by LG and Samsung? You know that Apple competes with different companies in the market of smartphones. Will it truly offer the 1920 x 1080 display [full HD] to its potential customers?

Apple has already offered such resolution screen in its iPhone 6 Plus but it might also bring the same quality to the smaller iPhone 6 line update. Right now this device can only boast the 1334 x 750, 720p display.

The news comes from China. Since Apple manufactures its devices in the Chinese factories the rumors might be real. What else do experts have to say about the future smartphones with ‘fruit’ logo? They think that the Cupertino-based firm could boost its 6 Plus screen resolution to 2560 x 1440 offering users the Quad HD display.

There is a big number of experts who don’t believe in such major changes. Apple is not the company that likes to shock users. It always brings the minor changes but this is what works the best and high iPhone 6 / 6 Plus sales in the end of 2014 and early 2015 across the world prove this.
