the seller can just report it stolen. it has nothing to do with apple having or not having access to the IMEI blacklist.

unless i'm wrong here.

I can understand that from a carrier locked phone, but Apple has access to the IMEI blacklist as well?

seller reports stolen phone to any carrier and that carrier will blacklist the imei which is shared amongst canadian carriers

I know that people that are selling their carrier locked phones can simply call in and say their phone was lost/stolen and the IMEI would be blocked. Does such a thing like that exist if the person bought the phones contract free from Apple?

Some ppl purchase insurance on their phones and when it is stolen they get a new one from the insurance company. Kinda of like double dipping selling you the phone, report it stolen, gets your money and gets a new phone.

I am using 8.0.1 on my 5s and so far no major issue. In fact battery life is about the same when i am using ios 7.

or the phone was signed on a contract thru fraud and after 3 months or less the phone will be blacklisted amongst all canadian provider. The imei blacklist have nothing to do with apple they don't provide the wireless service. once your phone is blacklisted good luck getting it unlocked to sell to another country if u can no longer use it. so better apple store than buy a locked phone.

No one likes the space grey? Lol

Nabatron 09-25-2014 10:29 AM

I love space grey thats why I bought it haha...But Im assuming lots of people wanting the white and gold cuz of the white display...

Energy 09-25-2014 10:30 AM

They probably just make 5x as many space grey compared to the other colours.

Nabatron 09-25-2014 10:36 AM

should have made more white and gold phone lol apple dropped the ball again...

Hondaracer 09-25-2014 10:39 AM

I got the space grey, only wish it was darker compared to the silver..

I still like the all black 5 the best I think

Nabatron 09-25-2014 10:49 AM

I had the iphone5 all black when it first came out but the shitty thing with it was the paint would come off too easily which was a huge downside to the device...

Cassijon 09-25-2014 11:10 AM

i picked up a 6+ space grey for myself too. as much as i thought i had wanted the white one before (silver or gold) i just like the look of black electronics.

This is actually what the rogers rep at RC told me to do when i got my 5.

buy their insurance, sell when new release comes out, then report stolen/lost and get new device from insurance company, then sell the brand new sealed phone and pay for the new release.

knowing karma would come back at me if i did that, i just decided to give my 5 to my gf lol

RacePace 09-25-2014 11:35 AM

so a rogers rep told you to commit insurance fraud?

Tegra_Devil 09-25-2014 01:26 PM

okay, so i dont keep my music or photos on itunes. is there a FREE program that can transfer from my 4s to 6? or at least my 4s to computer then to my 6?

terkan 09-25-2014 01:56 PM

are your music purchased thru itune? or it was synced from another computer to the phone? if i recall music can only transfer from itune to iphone unless the music was purchased from itune. as for photos you can just transfer it to itune and transfer it back

ScizzMoney 09-25-2014 01:58 PM

I have a bunch of my old CDs ripped into iTunes and they transfer fine.
