Why unlock your Apple iPhone 4S? What are the advantages? (Dr Mobiles Limited, iOS, jailbreak, Auckland)

There are two reasons that having an unlocked iPhone 4S is to your advantage. The first is that the ability to switch between domestic carriers will afford you the opportunity to shop for what you consider the best combination of price, features and network. And competing carriers mean that there’s a good chance they will be offering prices and features intended to win your business. The other advantage is that when you’re travelling internationally, an unlocked iPhone will be able to communicate through either one of wireless protocols.

There is one simple advantage to using our service to unlock your iPhone 4S, and that is cost. Compared to the difference between the locked phone at $199 and the factory-unlocked phone at $649 (that’s a $450 difference for the 16 GB model) our software download fee, which includes a money-back guarantee and high-quality customer support, is so low as to be rendered unnoticeable. Additionally, if you buy a factory-unlocked phone you will only be able to use it on GSM networks (even though the phone’s hardware includes both a GSM and a CDMA radio, the CDMA one will be disabled). Being restricted to GSM networks is fine if you will be travelling only in Europe. In much of the rest of the world, your carrier selection will be severely limited.

Our solution will give you an unlocked iPhone 4S at a significant discount, and the ability to access the cellular world through any carrier anywhere in the world. When travelling in countries where you choose to use a GSM carrier, simply obtain a SIM card from the local carrier and physically swap it out through the use-accessible slot in the side of the phone.

The worst thing to happen to your Apple iPhone 4S - liquid or water damage (repair, iOS, rescue, help, insurance, claims, Auckland)

The following article forwarded to me by an Apple iPhone 4S user, it was the result of his research concerning iPhone 4S liquid damage repair and tips. He had accidentally wet his spanking Apple iPhone 4S not so long ago.  See what he has to say....

iphoneWith the advent of the electronic age, everyone’s had water damage to a device at some point or another. Yet when it happens to an iPhone, it’s absolutely devastating. It’s your worst nightmare. Panic, tears, and yelling don’t help at all, but what will?

I didn’t think it would ever happen to me, as I’m always ultra-careful, although it seemed to happen to my teenage son every few months. One time he dropped his phone in his bowl of cereal, and another time it was in the kitchen sink. The inevitable finally happened to me one day when I was out with friends and my purse got knocked off the sink in the restroom, flipped over, and my iPhone slipped out of the pocket it was in and literally jumped into the toilet.

The iPhone had been completely submerged, so I knew it was water-damaged. It worked at first, then turned off, and I could literally see the water inside it. I knew it was cashed. I was camping, so didn’t have anything with me to try the tried-and-true methods of preventing water damage. The next morning it was still wet inside and while it turned on and off, the touchpad didn’t work at all, and neither did the Home button. It was because of all this that I learned what to do when your iPhone gets water damage.

Apple-Care program Doesn’t Work

Apple does not cover water damage in either their one-year warranty or their Apple-Care program. They want to make sure they aren’t covering that either, so have placed sensors on the phone to detect water damage. There is one inside the headphone port, another in the charger connector on the bottom, and a few more hidden inside as well. The sensors will turn half pink/half white with water damage. Some people have been known to put tiny little pieces of white paper over the sensors to cover the ones on the outside, but there isn’t anything you can do to hide the two internal ones.

Solutions

The first thing you need to do is turn the iPhone off and disconnect it from any possible power sources. The next step is to place it in an airtight Ziploc bag with silica gel packets if not uncooked rice.  You should immediately start searching for a proper or reuptable repair centre to inspect your water/liquid damage iPhone 4S.  Remember, the longer you wait to get it repair, the worse it will get -- as fungus will grow, corrosion start damaging the internal part of your Apple iPhone 4S.  There will be physical change start to take place as moisture will warp or alter the shape of your main circuitboard or motherboard.

Walk-in-service-summary
Professional Repair Centre

Search the internet for a reputable or indepent repair centre who will help you out.  Please note that the real-pro will not charge you outrages inspection fee ($45 up to $85, non-refundable) at all as they not rip off people for heftpy or unrealistic "inspection fee". You should conduct indepth research about water damage repair centre, on google, facebook about any possible reliable centre in your area.  Water damage Apple iPhone 4S usually have 50/50 chance of being repair.
Be careful of those semi-pro who do not have any office phone line or those that do not have a real physical address

The Last Draw

If you liquid damaged iPhone 4S cannot be repair, you can file for a lost through your home content insurance.  Take note on the excess fee that you have to pay the insurance company before filing for a claim.
Any decent repair centre will not ask your an insurance damage report (some dubious operator charge you up to $85 per report).  The reason being that professional repair centre earn profits via professional repair job awarded to them from insurance company. So the more free inspection they do, the more business they will get from those big insurance company.

Apple iPhone 4S specs compared to iPhone 4 (iOS, tech, review, blog, news, release, update, Auckland, Unlock)

Iphone-4s-vs-iphone-4
After months of rumors and built-up expectations today Apple announced the iPhone 4S. Rather than the revolutionary, taper-bodied, NFC-packing, bezel-less, aluminum-backed superphone, we got an iPhone 4 with a new processor, a better camera, and faster download speeds. Not to be completely negative — the iPhone 4S has a few cool features — but it will largely be seen as a disappointment by everyone who wanted an iPhone 5, not another 3GS.

This might not ever affect sales, but from the enthusiast point-of-view, the iPhone 4S seems to have a left a lot on the table, especially given the extended, 16-month wait. And after all, who cares about sales figures? We’ll leave those up to the business folks and concern ourselves with the tech.

So how do the two phones stack up when put head-to-head? Check out the chart below to see…

iphone 4s vs iphone 4 v1.5

The bold points on the back of the iPhone 4S box (if Apple would ever do such a thing) would be: Siri voice-activated personal assistant, the A5 processor, improved graphics, an improved camera, 1080p video, faster download speeds, a CMDA+GSM chip, and an intelligent antenna. On the non-hardware side the iPhone 4S will add Sprint, making for availability on three of the four nationwide US carriers. And, of course, there is the upcoming iOS 5, but that’ll land on older handsets as well.

On the physical, design-wise front the iPhone 4S appears to be identical to the iPhone 4. It’s the same glass sandwich design, the same size, and just about the same weight. (We’ll have full specifications once Apple’s website stabilizes.)

So, like the 3GS, the iPhone 4S is all about more. The “s” ostensibly stands for “speed” but it brings more storage (the iPhone finally goes up to 64GB), more speed (2x the theoretical download speed), more image quality (with better low-light performance), more video resolution, more RAM, and more processing power. I’ll reserve judgement for now, but the typical iPhone 4 owner probably won’t be clamoring for an upgrade. In other words, like the 3GS, the iPhone 4S looks like a reasonable evolution of Apple handset, but something that will be outpaced by rapidly released Android phones in a matter of months.

This is not to say that the iPhone 4S is a boring release. It’s easy to look at the same hardware and feel like nothing changed, but buyers will still be met with a first-class phone. The improvements to the camera are sizable and the inclusion of the A5 processor means that this is going to be powerful device… one that Apple says will have 8 hours of battery life. What’s more is that the Siri personal assistant could be a killer feature, if anyone uses it.

Disappointed iPhone users should keep hope alive though — maybe it’ll turn out that all those iPhone 5 rumors (NFC, 4G, etc.) were true, they just got the date wrong. A less-than-groundbreaking iPhone 4S could clear the way for a much more exciting phone sometime in 2012.
