Running Windows on iPad Air 2

Hackers like to install Windows on Apple gadgets. Sometimes they play Fallout 2 on the iPad Air 2 running Windows 98. Sometimes they decide to install Windows on iPad of earlier version, for example, Windows 1.0.

Anyways, most users cannot run Windows on iPad Air 2 with iOS 9 because this task is not that simple. It takes knowledge and hacking is not the easiest science in the tech world. Jules got Windows 1.0 version and managed to bring this old platform to the ‘fruit’ iPad Air 2 model. He succeeded!

iPad Air 2 Running Windows 1.0

Windows on iPad Air 2

Some history facts. Windows 1.0 is a very old version of popular Microsoft computer platform. The company unveiled it in 1985, this was years ago. Seeing that old release alive in 2016 is rather interesting, especially if this Windows PC version is running on the new iPad Air device.

Another curious fact. The first computers that were running early Windows versions were huge. They were of the size of a mini-fridge! Of course, users had to patient because everything was so slow compared to modern versions and computers. The thin and small iPad Air that has Windows 1.0 on it cannot boast its popular features and functionality but it’s an interesting experience becase this is a modern gadget that can work without a power source for about 10 hours [by the way, iPhone 6s Plus can also run Windows 98]. Jules managed to emulate Windows 1.0 with DOSPAD so this very same iPad Air 2 is actually running current iOS 9 firmware.

There are no details about how to install older Windows platform on iPad Air 2 with or without jailbreak. This is just a fun experiment that wows users who still remember those two-decade old platforms and computers.

iPhone Sprint 2 Year Contract Offers No Longer Available

A lot of customers were used to Sprint 2 year contract offers and many iPhone owners have got their smartphone through such a deal [here is how you can unlock iPhone in iTunes without supported SIM card]. There will be no more two year contracts Sprint options in 2016. The U.S. carrier is planning to only sell tablet gadgets with 2-year contracts while a leaked document states that the same option for handsets is no longer available.

It is believed that Sprint 2 year contract agreement could still be offered to ‘select’ consumers who might get a deal on a ‘reactive bases’ however it’s unclear if users who are already on the contract will be able to renew their contracts or will be forced to upgrade to another data plan.

Sprint No Two Year Contract iPhone 2016

The news about Sprint no two year contract options is not surprising because other major American carriers have done the same thing and stopped offering contracts for 24 months. For example, Verizon and T-Mobile are also not offering such a deal any longer. AT&T is also planning to stop offering 2-year contract deals and it seems that Sprint is also on the same road.

With Sprint no two year contract all main U.S. networks leave customers without contracts on smartphones. Still this doesn’t mean that your iPhone comes unlocked. You will still be locked to the network you purchase the handset from and luckily you can easily unlock Sprint iPhone on iOS 9 or other firmware without problems. Factory SIM unlock service is the top method that makes millions of users free from their network once and forever.

If you have plans to purchase Sprint iPhone in 2016 you can go with Easy Pay option or iPhone Forever plan.

AppleCare Replacement Device Lawsuit News

The AppleCare replace iPhone and other devices lawsuit was class-action one however the judge rejected such status over this case.

It’s just not the class-action case, as decided by the judge. Still experts think that there will be designation in it. Could this lawsuit have any impact on the parts and gadgets the famous ‘fruit’ giant is using for AppleCare and AppleCase+ replacements?

T Mobile Video Throttling Issue Worries EFF

iPhone users who are using T-Mobile network can experience T Mobile video throttling problem. It has been noted by EFF that found out that the network’s Binge On technology throttles all videos users watch.

At first, when iPhone T-Mobile users learned about upcoming Binge On option they believed it would be win-win option for them. A lot of iPhone owners joined T Mobile network because of this addition. The network got many new subscribers thanks to it. However, as time passes by, the feature that can optimize your video content doesn’t look that attractive especially when it results in T-Mobile throttling videos on all smartphones.

All video streaming services can join the program at no cost. The optimizing feature was supposed to save data and Hulu, Netflix and similar services quickly jumped onboard the new Binge On option from T-Mobile. Users were happy as they could video stream their favorite sources without paying for extra data.

Not all major service joined the option. For example, YouTube is not part of Binge On option offered by T-Mobile and some other companies that never joined the program soon found out that even their videos were optimized.

Google quickly announced that T-Mobile was throttling all videos and not optimizing them. The network responded that it was optimizing and not throttling videos for users. The EFF [Electronic Frontier Foundation] had to react and it put the carrier’s claim to test. It tested the Binge On option and announced that the mobile operator indeed throttles HTML5 videos to 1.5Mbps no matter if the network is capable of delivering faster speeds or not.

You can SIM unlock T-Mobile iPhone if you believe your videos are throttled and you wish to become SIM free from all carriers once and forever. Permanent factory unlocking tool makes it possible to become fully unlocked at affordable price, distantly and quickly from any carrier.

Have you noticed any throttling from T-Mobile lately?
