Yes last Diwali had bought the Lumia 925. Nothing happened to that just for change changed it. She does not like big screen phones so there was no point in waiting for the 6.

when samsung and other companies launched big size phones, apple was criticizing them by saying 4 inch is the best size to hold in hand. but now they are introducing big screens.![[anger]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Anger.gif "Anger [anger]")

I know that you will buy a iPhone 5S.Anyways,welcome to iPhone 5S club Raja.Waiting for pic quality comparison between Nexus 5 and iPhone 5S.
BTW,I got my iPhone 5S from unlocking guy.This guy doesn't have knowledge in unlocking the phone.He quoted Rs.6500 for unlocking the phone,which is way expensive.Im getting my 5S unlocked from another guy for Rs.1000-1500,which is way cheaper than this guy,who quoted Rs.6500.Its a daylight robbery.Does unlocking people unlock the phones with blocked IMEI?When I asked App Store guy,he said you can unlock the phone with blocked IMEI number at any local store.Im getting my phone unlocked again for Rs.1000-1500 by today or tomorrow.BTW,when I switched on the phone,it's showing NO SIM.When I setup my phone as a new phone,it's showing please insert the sim.Any solution for this?

Thanx.
This phone is not my primary phone its my wife's phone I bought for her .
Pics come great on both , with nexus 5 being more superior in night and low light shots without flash .
Build quality all the way iPhone 5s no comparison.
I can't give you any suggestions about unlocking phones because I never bought any unlocked phones so far .

They don't want to be left behind when people are demanding bigger phones. Steve jobs claimed that 3.5" is the optimal still they went ahead and launched the 4" iPhone 5 and now this.

This is the result when I have connected my 5S to iTunes.Any solutions for this Sai?IPSW iOS 7.1.1 firmware for iPhone 5S is getting downloaded.After IPSW firmware gets downloaded,what is the next procedure?Sorry for the bad pic as I have taken the pic from iPad.
Thanks.Im now downloading the firmware file.I guess it would become successful.

Re: Apple Products - Discussions and Suggestions
First issue with bro's iPhone5, power button non-responsive.
Initially thought it could be due to overuse.
But to apple its a known issue : https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/
Entered the serial, voila its eligible for replacement of power button.
Now taking the backup and visiting an Apple center.

Re: Apple Products - Discussions and Suggestions
Let me share two incidents happened in two week.
1. Brother-In-Law's Macbook pro.
Suddenly OS stopped working and he could not repair/reinstall the OS. I told him to visit the service center (Imagine-forum mall, koramangala) and check with a different cable or HDD
He took it promptly and they removed the HDD and asked him to take the backup (They said it is os problem or Hdd problem). They did not check with different cable (This is known problem for the issue displayed on screen)
I connected with a different PC and found the partition table & file system is corrupt (OS X HFS) and it asked for initializing (which i did not do). I promised him to do a data recovery and recover all the data as the HDD looked okay for me.
As he wanted everything to be done immediately, he thought of going for a new HDD than waiting for data recovery. They quoted 12.5k for Hitachi HDD(which was inside) and 6500 for Seagate HDD. I put a seagate 500GB for 3200 with 2 year warranty (Hitachi was only 3000) and asked him to install the OS. He could not do that and he took that again to Imagine. This time they said 'It seems this Hard drive is not compatible and will check'.
After two days, he got an update saying the cable is having issue and needs to be replaced at 1600+Taxes. He promptly agreed as he did not have any other option. Finally he got another bill of 1600+ along with the cable as their service charges. Took almost 2 weeks to get things working back. I have recovered all his Mac drive data as promised.
------------------
2nd. This happened to my friend who bought a Mac few months back (roughly around 6 months)
He got an update alert for Mac OS X Mavericks in his Macbook and he clicked it. After the successful installation of OS, the laptop started overheating. He took to Imagine and they asked him to carry to Rajaji nagar which he promptly refused. Later they took the macbook and asked him to visit after two days.
He got his Macbook after two days with a 1600Rs bill (as service). The product was under warranty and they insisted as OS installation does not cover under warranty it seems. If I was, I would not have paid it as it was known issue with some of the macbook after Mavericks installation (They installed Mavericks only).

Re: Apple Products - Discussions and Suggestions
Oh that's so bad to know appus.
My bro has a 2010 MAC book Pro and 2013 Retina Display Mac Book too.
So far everything's fine, only once the battery of 1st gen Mac book(2010) was replaced.
No issues after that.
Went to Mantri Mall Imagine Store.
Service by Ample Technologies ( I Care).
Got a message that the phone is not repairable and its due for a replacement.
Lodged a complaint with Apple US care, and they are looking into this.
Now the issue ticket was redirected to Indian Apple care, and they will look into it.
One thing about the ear pods, the quality is not good inspite of taking care of them. Have given them earful, the US apple care has taken note of the serial number that phone was manufactured, and they are looking for resolution.
Will update more by tomorrow.

Re: Apple Products - Discussions and Suggestions
iPhone 5 was replaced as per Apples replacement policy.
It looks brand new.
Keeping fingers crossed.
I can't understand whose phone is being replaced?
Apple totally confuses me in this aspect, if it's not box piece?
Whose phone can it possibly be?
The Serial no is changed now. And it's in immaculate condition.

Even Dell used to replace the phones (do not know about now). They do not give the box. It comes to the store in bulk for replacements in carton box.
So, it is either refurbished or a brand new what you have got. Refurbished -mostly boards . So outside looks brand new ! If it is newly launched product, chances of getting refurbished products are very less.
When we get HDD replacement, we mostly get a refurbished one (looks brand new with no scratches on top). But there would be a sticker 'Seagate Certified repaired' with new S/N. They update the warranty details on new S/N.
