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.
Apple replaced my my 4s 3 times due one or other issue. Even after that, I am still with apple.. 5, 5S and now waiting for 6. Thats the charm of apple.


is it true that apple accept old cell phone? then they recycle it?
yeah. True. Sometimes they pay you a little amount in return through itunes gift cards.

Re: Apple Products - Discussions and Suggestions

Guys another issue to report with the replaced iPhone5.

The replaced phone is defective, with loud speaker not working. This happened on the 2nd day of usage.

Did the general reset and the phone speaker worked fine, but whenever a call is made and loud speaker turned on the sound didn't came.

When i did the hard reset, its found to be having display issues as well.

The screen started flickering.

One more visit to the Apple centre in a week.[frustration]

Will have to blast them for giving my bro a defective phone.

Have taken a video of the defective phone on my 4S.

The 4S brought from US is amazing and flawless.

We have 4 iphones in our house and 3 of them were bought from US and one from India (second hand). The ones bought from US are flawless while the one from India is constantly giving trouble to my brother.

Update:

The replaced phone was repaired by Ample care, and now there is no issue with the phone.

But it scares me, if the screen flickers again.

They might have removed the speaker and replaced it with a new component.

This time my bro asked for the diagonistic logs, and the showed the reports to him too.

The Ample care is know on their toes, after the feedback was given to US counterpart.

The US Apple care insisted us to get it replaced with other Apple centers in Bangalore.

But we thought to give a try at the first store only.

Fingers cossed.

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus: First Look

I had a chance to checkout the iphone6 and 6 plus today during lunch time. This was mainly to look at both the models in flesh so that I could decide which one to upgrade for. Both the phones look very slim. The fit and finish make me feel like I am holding a toy phone. The plus is less bulkier compared to Galaxy Note. The home screen in plus changes landscape orientation which is not present in iphone 6. Here a a few pics

The link you shared is handset purchase without contract with outright payment for the handset.But you still need to get the handset factory unlocked as it comes with locked services for USA.
Ask your friend to get factory unlocked piece from there.

Re: Apple Products - Discussions and Suggestions

Hi,

I am facing issues with 3G internet speed with my nano cut sim card in iphone 5S. The sim card was the old model normal sim card (mini sim) with large copper part, so edges of the metal part also was cut to make it to nano. Now my friend is getting 3G (same network same place) in his Moto G2, but mine is EDGE most of the time. The manually cut sim have anything to do in this?
