You can always "drop it" by accident.... but I would said just use it for at least a year and ask for it to be after it accidently "drop".

BTW why not use a tempered glass and a case. One time I didn't put a case on my phone and that's the day I drop my phone and left a nasty ding on it.......

^^ yes you did..... -_- GF said her phone is running low on storage and after she try the IP6 said we should use matching phones......

So I cave in...... I made it so it seems like she is forcing me to upgrade my phone and promise me a surprise present lol (I was actually on the line of getting it but she suggested it).

Order mine online is going to arrive early to mid Nov. Perfect timing coz that's when my case/tempered glass should arrive as well.

This is the case I'm using:



It feels exactly like the material on Rimowa's Salsa. And very well built with perfect fit.

Really?! coz I went was in HK I use my iphone 5s on 12free and have no issue at all. I was getting 4g everywhere I go. Now I am not sure if I was given a LTE sim card or not though.

The model is different.

For Canadian iPhone 6, it's either model A1549/1522. For the LTE to work with Chinese LTE/TD-LTE providers, you need the A1586/1524.

The only one in America that carries specific model is Sprint. But it's regional locked. Meaning while it's unlocked for the rest of the world, it's locked in the US.

For those of you that wants an app that monitor data usage, I found a newly released one in the app store that according to the description is free for the next 2 days. Regular price for the app is $1. You can have it in the notification screen too

So If I bring my iphone 6 to HK I have to make sure they don't give me a LTE SIM or is fine in HK?

Which provider are you using? Some of them make it show 4G, when in fact it's running on 3.5G network.

Do a speed test... if you can get a ping lower than 20ms with download speed over 20mbps, you are in fact on LTE (need to check the band your provider use)

quick question regarding iphone 5, someone mentioned here about the battery issue and apple is replacing some phones, turns out my moms phone falls into that serial range, but the phone is originally from HK. would it be a problem to get it replaced here or does it have to be in hk?

I was using one2free
csl
I am sure is 4g network because speed test is around 40Mbps
I paid like $200HK for 2 weeks of unlimited data and I think there is like 100min call time.

Yeah... you are on LTE. csl has band 7. Which is compatible with a Canadian iPhone. Basically you are fine in HK. The problem is if you go into China and you need the TD-LTE compatibility. Which Canadian iPhone 6s don't offer.

Has anyone sold an unlocked iPhone 5s recently? If so how much did you sell for? I have a 16gb gold model with applecare+ that I plan to sell... Yes I can check current listings on CL but that doesn't tell me what price the phone actually sells for.

seems like im having some compatibility problems with my car's bluetooth. the phone would play all the sound through the cars speaker, weather it be phone calls, or any kind of notifications like mesges or emails or even typing clicks, it all goes through the car's speakers which is annoying cus it stops the music.

its an odd problem that happens from time to time only. anyone else run into this? its for a BMW with idrive
