    anyone bought 16gb version?

    Over the past year my daily driver was an 8GB iPhone 5c. It was plenty for me because most of the apps I use don't need more than 100MB and many half that size. I don't think my free space ever dipped below a gig, and generally was more than 1.5 gig. I gave the phone to a younger family member...

    iPhone Upgrade Program iphones usable on all 4 network, or carrier specific?

    You might not have AT&T's new LTE Band 30 support. This is just speculation, and I'm sure that I'm just reading what others are guessing themselves, but possibly the ATT unlocked upgrade program iPhone will be different from the other 3 in that the ATT model will have Band 30.

    iPhone Upgrade Program iphones usable on all 4 network, or carrier specific?

    That makes sense, and I think eventually a sim free variant will be release in a month or two (like last year), but there are only 4 models listed under tech specs on the Apple website. 2 appear to be optimized for GSM networks and 2 for CDMA networks depending on whether your getting the 6s or...

    iPhone Upgrade Program iphones usable on all 4 network, or carrier specific?

    I thought these phones might be sim free and carrier agnostic, but it looks to me like they are carrier specific models because you have to choose a carrier when ordering per the iPhone Upgrade Program. So will they be optimized for the carrier you choose but still usable on all 4 networks? Or...

    In order to gift phone to youngster, how do I make sure I disconnect iCloud account?

    When I do all that above and then give the phone, will he be able to get the IMEI number off the phone without a sim card or will he be stuck at welcome screen? I don't have the box and he'll have to get imei off a phone to order sim.

    In order to gift phone to youngster, how do I make sure I disconnect iCloud account?

    When I see iPhone for sale on swappa, one of the questions that comes up over and over again is people asking if the phone is iCloud cleared. I might not understand what they are asking, but I want to make sure that my apple account is no longer on my phone and that my nephew can use his apple...

    When searching podcast do some fail to identify which is video and audio?

    Okay, it just looks like an outlier then, or a bug for this particular podcast because I think most show whether are not they are video. Thanks you. Sorry for the double post. I guess my post have to get approved, and I thought I didn't send it. Hence, the double post.

    When searching podcast do some fail to identify which is video and audio?

    Thanks! What if you are searching from your phone? When I search on my iPhone 5c the results for Fox News Sunday don't state whether it's audio or video, or do they and I'm just not seeing it?

    When searching podcast do some fail to identify which is video and audio?

    Thanks. I see that, but I what if I'm searching from my iPhone 5c? Don't search results on your phone normally state whether the podcast is video or audio?

    When searching podcast do some fail to identify which is video and audio?

    The Fox News Sunday podcast, when I look it up in the search field, two separate podcast appear. One if for the video podcast, and one is for the audio. The problem is, I don't see the video icon on either, so I don't know which is which. Once I subscribe to one or the other I can then see...

    Can I disable call-waiting or turn off its beeping in the iPhone 5c's settings??

    Thank you (both of you!!!). I do have the 'Call Waiting' entry in Settings... Phone.... and I was able to slide it to the off position (faded out). I'm using the unlocked non-carrier branded iPhone on prepaid Cricket so I'm not sure if this will work or not, but it's nice to know that the call...

    Can I disable call-waiting or turn off its beeping in the iPhone 5c's settings??

    Without turning off or disabling call waiting with my carrier, is there a way I can disable call waiting in phone setting. Or turn off call waiting beeping?

    I'm looking for an MVNO to use my unlocked iPhone 5C on. Any suggestions?

    I'm using an unlocked non-carrier branded 5c on Cricket. The only drawback is LTE doesn't feel any faster than non-LTE, or even slower. I might have poor LTE coverage where I live, but podcasts download faster if I switch off LTE. Ookla speedtest show LTE speeds close to 8 and 4G close to 4, but...

    Safari won't connect to internet on data connections after iOS 8.4 update

    Problem with safari fixed by doing factory reset. Safari is now working over cellular data without problems. Also, disregard my second post where I said all my apps were crawling after resetting all data. That was only momentary. Everything was working fine except I still had the problem with...

    Safari won't connect to internet on data connections after iOS 8.4 update

    Thanks. I did not try a forced restart, but I wish I did. I did a "reset all settings," and now I'm having all kinds of connection problems with all my apps over both wifi and data. Connections (both wifi and data) now are crawling at best, and safari still won't connect over data. I have to go...
