Can I use my iphone 3GS exchange iphone 4

I am in australia.can I use my iphone 3GS exchange iphone 4

Sorry. That doesn't make sense.
If you're trying to ask if you can exchange an iPhone 3GS for an iPhone 4, no. Apple does not have an upgrade program that would allow you to do this. If your 3GS is not functioning, and you want an out of warranty exchange, you will be given the exact same model as you have now.

Can I use my new IPad while it is charging

Can I use my New IPad while it is charging?

You can use the iPad while it's charging, however, it will take longer to fully charge.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

If I use my ipad2 while plugging in the wall charger (charging), will it hurt the battery?

If I use my ipad2 while plugging in the wall charger (charging), will it hurt the battery?

No, I do it all of the time. But based on what you are doing, your activities may use more energy than the 10v charging and you still use the battery, just at a slower rate.

Can I use my iPod touch while it's charging?

Hi, I've tried to research this so I wouldn't have to ask, but have had no luck. So, my question is, can you use your iPod Touch while it is plugged into the charger? Would that do any damage to the iPod? Thanks, Diane

Axel, I meant to also mark your response as Solved, but I checked Helpful by mistake. Hope that didn't take any "points" away from you. Diane

If you use your iPod Touch while its charging, will it ruin the battery life/battery?

I have an iPod Touch 5th gen. and people say that if you use your iPod/iPhone while its charging, the battery life will deacrease or the battery will be ruined/shot

However, you should almost fully discharge and fully charge the battery monthly otherwise you will degrade the battery.

Can I use my Iphone 3Gs in another country?

Hi,
I'm got an Iphone 3GS awhile back and I'm planning to visit my home country (Philippines) for a month or so for an extended wedding/birthday of my sister.
I heard that Apple is connected with Globe Telecoms back in the Philippines. So I was wondering if I could use a Globe simcard for my Iphone while I'm at the country? It's currently locked to ATT. Do I need to go to Globe Telecoms there to be able to use a Globe simcard?
Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

The iPhone is carrier locked to AT&T. A locked phone means no other SIM can work in it.
Now the phone can work out there, however, you have to call AT&T and temporarily add the option about being out of country (forget what they call it). It will cost a tab more to make calls and use data but it is far cheaper than paying roaming charges if you don't add it.
You are not going to find a way to use the iPhone with any other carrier's SIM (legally).

Can I use my iPhone 3Gs in Japan with a Japanese Sim-Card?

Hi there,
three years ago I've been to Japan for an exchange study program and at that time I had a HTC but as far as I remember, since Japanese people didn't have Sim-Cards, I had to buy a brand-new Softbank's mobile phone.
So since I got another scholarship for Kyoto, I was wondering if something has been changing in these last three year and if I could eventually use my Italian iPhone 3Gs by inserting a Softbank o AU or Docomo's Sim-Card.
Thank you in advance for your precious help and sorry for my poor English

Hello
You can only use your 3Gs in another country if it is NOT locked to an Italian carrier Or
you can get it unlocked if it is so restricted
I assume someone with knowledge of the Japanese market can comment on the availability of a suitable sim but your iPhone must be unlocked before you can use another carrier's sim

Can't use my iPhone 3GS after trying to download iOS6?

I do I Reset my iPhone 3GS after trying to download iOS6?

To echo Tim:
Was your phone jailbroken or unlocked by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to before you updated? If so, it's now permanently bricked.
If this is not the case, you should be able to force restore in Recovery Mode:

No. Apple warranties do not help you get early upgrades on devices. If you think something is wrong with your device then take it to the nearest Genius Bar.
