Will both work normal down here ?

iPhones, since the iPhone 4 or 5, are world phones, meaning they ALL work on almost any carrier anywhere.

taking a contract with Verizon or AT&T etc is just like Digicel or Bmobile here, you get their SIM in the phone and it may be locked to their carrier until the contract is up. t-Mobile phones are not carrier locked so while you do get a t-smobile sim card, you can just take it out and put in your bmobile or digicel sim card and you can use it here.
No iPhone comes with carrier branding.

To add to that.
The only difference between the iPhone 6 Carrier models and the Unlocked model offered later was the inclusion of a small number of additional LTE bands. Otherwise it's the same phone.
Unlocked = A1586 & A1524 (6 & 6+)
T-Mobile = A1549 & A1522

There's no unlocked 6s with the additional bands yet. But T&T has no LTE so it won't matter.

Bmobile has their LTE data already up and running but only available to data only plans. They will roll out LTE as part of their voice plans in the near future.

On a side note why is tstt quick to upgrade to lte when their 3G hasn't approached the max limits in any way?

ismithx · Postby **ismithx** » September 15th, 2015, 6:39 pm

^^ that. they need to strengthen their backbone infrastructure before beefing up end user connections

2WNBoost · Postby **2WNBoost** » September 15th, 2015, 7:09 pm

TSTT's LTE rollout is following the same dirt track to nowhere as their WiMAX rollout.

You talking about 3G yes? Cuz 2-3 mb on 3G is garbage I find. Feels like their approach to EDGE all over again. Come out hot and sweaty then let the network get bogged down when everyone logically hops on board.

Are the upgraded iCloud plans announced at the 6S launch ($0.99 for 50gb, $2.99 for 200gb, and $9.99 for 1tb) effective immediately?

If so, are they automatically applied? If not, how do I get them?

I just got my monthly email receipt and was still charged for the old tiers.

So.. The replacement iPhone I got from iWorld is continously randomly getting scuffs on the back and flaking and it's getting progressively worse. I ordered a Lifeproof which got to Miami yesterday but the back is already absolutely horrible. Anyone knows of anything I can do to fix this and if not.. If another replacement would be given?

iOS 9 on the way

DTAC · Postby **DTAC** » September 16th, 2015, 6:49 pm

They waiting on 9 to drop before releasing it. So hold fire. Same goes for 8.4.1 as well.

Remember kids: if you're thinking about jb'ing your device, never update OTA (from the device itself).

The last Jailbroken iPhone was back in the 3GS days. Unlocked handsets and the App Store are all I need.

I've been using Yosemite on my iMac and MacBook Air since December and it is awesome the way everything syncs up and I can hand over from device to device seamlessly - completely changed my workflow

Better make sure it isn't a clone running Android.
Seriously, you should return it.

Quite fast and stable.

The app switcher is alil confusing. Current apps now are on the left of the home screen compared to the right before.

The multitasking option needs to be coded into the app. Once the developer adds the option it will be available.

Hey guys...do you all know where I could find a clear keys cover for an MacBook Air?

Be careful with those.
Remember MacBooks breathe via the keyboard.

never had an issue....
There has never been any air intake or exhaust vents through the keyboard on any Mac notebook. For all Mac notebooks except the MBP-Retina, both intake and exhaust has always been through the vents in the rear near the hinge. The new MBP-Retina has intake vents along the sides at the bottom and exhaust through the rear vents, near the hinge. This arrangement allows for venting with the lid open or closed (for operating in clamshell mode). There is a solid panel under the keyboard, preventing any meaningful airflow.
link to the thought process?

2WNBoost · Postby **2WNBoost** » September 18th, 2015, 7:41 am

Try putting the MacBook under some load with a keyboard cover on.
Then try it again without a keyboard cover.
Note the difference.

Having a cover on will be ok for basic tasks.
