Are cdma iphone locked by apple just like GSM ?

Only the provider the device is locked to can authorize the unlock. If they do not provide the service, then it cannot be officially unlocked. Also, if you have a SIM slot, you have a 4S, not a 4 if it is CDMA. The iPhone 4 CDMA version was CDMA only and did not have a SIM slot. Also, the GSM version that did have the SIM slot would not have CDMA capability. The way cellular providers work in other countries all differ. A phone that is locked to Bell, a Canadian network has nothing to do with Indian telecoms.

Are the iPhones replaced by apple unlocked?

I've got an old iPhone4s which is a replacement as my original broke. My original iPhone was on O2, is the replacement locked to O2 too?

Call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number and they can tell you if it is locked and who it is locked to.
Or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they can do the same thing.

How can I reset my iphone 4, to be just like a new one?

I want to give my phone to my friend, and I want to delete all the data, reset the phone and turn it like a new phone, without any setting or any data.
I tried to do it by using itunes, I selected to set it as new iphone, but when it is restoring, the contacts are still there.
how can I completely remove everything ?

Or, restore in iTunes as a new iPhone, without using a backup and without syncing afterwards.

Is there anything setting or apps that can turn off the screen by covering the phone using cover case? just like ipad?

i am using a flip case and i am hoping that i can turn off the screen by covering my iphone case rather than pressing lock button. Just like ipad. any idea?

Sorry, no.

I would just like to ask apple if they can make ios 7 for ipod 4th gen because my friends are showing off the new ios 7 with there ipod 5 or iphone

No. The hardware in the fourth-gen iPod touch won't handle iOS 7 or Apple would have released it for your model of iPod. If you want to run iOS 7, you'll need a new iPod.

I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country

I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country.

You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address

The movies from my Iphone 5 are not coming across on Apple TV. The little spinning beach ball appears like it is thinking. It use to work but quick working a month ago.

The movies from my Iphone 5 are not coming across on Apple TV. The little spinning beach ball appears like it is thinking. It use to work fine but quick working a month ago. I mirror from my phone to the Apple TV. Still images and everything I do on the phone is mirrored on to the TV except when I want to show a YouTube video or any video and then the screen on the phone and the TV screen go black and the spinning beach ball appears. The videos open right up on the phone if I do not have mirroring on and going through the Apple TV. I just downloaded the latest update to the phone it did not fix the problem. Please help. Thanks, Elvis G

Hello Elvis G,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps concerning device issues. You may want to consider a reset, then testing to see if the issue is resolved:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

A no-contract sales price does not mean unlocked.
Apple is now selling an officially unlocked iPhone in the U.S. which has nothing whatsoever to do with AT&T unlocking iPhones. It is up to the carrier and the carrier only to officially unlock an iPhone that was sold as carrier locked with the carrier - in this case sold as carrier locked with AT&T. This may change one day, but at the present time AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason or under any circumstances.

Hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

My iphone 3G is draining off battery very fast.Wi Fi and other appliations are swithed off.Phone getting really warm just like that.Battery drains off in half day or less even in stand by mode.

My iphone 3GS battery is draining off in 4 to 5 hours even in stand by condition.
Tried with all the applications and Wi Fi off.
Phone is getting warm just like that!!
It was working fine in the last week!!
Any solution?

There is no reason that a brand new phone should be having problems. I would say return it for a new one because it's less then a week old or return it. It's unacceptable. I have been having software issues with my iPhone 3GS too. I feel that Apple did a half done job on the software and really failed to bring new features to their third gen. iPhone.

HT4623 So just like last time I tried to update my iPhone software...MY PHONE IS FROZEN. Displaying iTunes icon and a USB cable I pressed the Power button and the menu botton together until the apple icon appeared held them down for 10 secs & NOTHING No

So just like last time I tried to update my iPhone software...MY PHONE IS FROZEN. Displaying iTunes icon and a USB cable I pressed the Power button and the menu botton together until the apple icon appeared held them down for 10 secs & NOTHING Now what? Do I just wait for the battery to run out?

Hi Careesa,
Your iPhone is in recovery mode-- you need to connect it to your computer and, most likely, iTunes will ask you to restore it. If you recently backed up this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

TS1368 my brother has an iphone and his details are on my computrer i have just purchased an iphone and now have all his stuff on my phone. ive created an apple id but i still dont know how to add another phone to the apple account! please help

my brother has an iphone and his details are on my computrer i have just purchased an iphone and now have all his stuff on my phone. ive created an apple id but i still dont know how to add another phone to the apple account! please help

when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

HT1688 apple iphone locked for password. The screen is frozen to access password change

For some reason I can't access the password retrieval screen . The screen is frozen with no access to resetting the password
There is an apple symbol where it is locked.

Try a soft reset:
Hold power and home button until apple boot logo appears,
if this does not work put into dfu mode and restore through itunes.
How to put into DFU mode:
Step One
Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your Mac.
Step Two
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
Step Three
After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
The iPhone screen will remain black like this:
NOTE***: It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Home button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long!
