Did anybody upgrade IOS 6 on unlocked iPhone 4s?

Ok I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4s that I bought from an apple store. I was wondering if I could update it to ios 6 without any problems or minor problems that can be fixed. I am really scared that it will lock again or be dead. On every website I look at it keeps saying jailbroke iPhones dont work on ios 6 but mine is not jailbroken. Did anybody update their iPhone without anything going wrong?

It's not a "better" answer, but I've read as well that legitimately unlocked iPhones remain unlocked even after an iOS version-level update.
I'm in a similar boat. My iPhone 4S was unlocked by AT&T because I was not under contract any longer with the phone. I had to contact AT&T and give them my IMEI in order to unlock it. Then I had to run an iOS restore (still back on 5.x at the time). After the restore was finished, iTunes gave me a pop-up notification that the restore was complete and my phone was unlocked.
So ... it stands to reason that the unlock "authority" sits on AT&T's (or whoever your provider is) system. I would love to upgrade to iOS 6 to check this out for you, but I leave the USA to move overseas tomorrow and I can't risk locking my iPhone back up. I need to be able to just throw in a new SIM when I arrive overseas (Australia).
I'm interested to see what gets reported on this thread. Thanks for bringing it up!

No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone?

No. You will pay for an unlocked 5s.

After upgrading iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, the wifi is not working . It cannot detect any wifi nor am I able to enable wifi under settings. Is there a way for me to fix this?

Hi samer almasri,
If you are having issues with enabling Wifi on your iPhone you may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot. First of all I would quit all open applications on the phone and try again. See this previous thread for how -

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5581063
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

Facetime disappered after i upgraded ios version in my iphone 5c how can i get it back

I would start by checking setting general restrictions to see if its restricted.
8if it's not, then it's hiding somewhere on your phone. Swipe down to search the iPhone from the home screen and see where it's at.

Hesitating to upgrade-3.0 officially unlocked iPhone 3g with tmobile

Please help... I purchased my iphone3G 3 months ago. I'm thinking of upgrading to 3.0 few days from now. But,I have noticed there are people who have problems with the 3.0 upgrade. I'm going to wait a few days before upgrading to 3.0 until I'm more aware what's going on and if there are any solutions from Apple.
Anyway, I purchased my iphone3g on ebay (3 months ago) brand new officially unlocked under Apple warranty and running version 2.2.1 under US tmobile service.
If I upgrade to OS 3.0 and run into a problem that cannot be resolve except exchanging a new one. Would Apple replace it with officially unlocked iphone 3g? or the locked version of iphone 3g that's locked to ATT? Could someone out here please answer...
Also, someone tells me that since the phone was originally from Italy, if something happens with my phone I need to have to ship it back to the Italy? Will Apple warranty still covers my phone because I did purchased my phone in the US on ebay.

Do not upgrade to 3.0 yet - too many problems reported, from missing wireless to excessive battery drain.
Warranty in Europe is a real pain. You have to return it to Italy! There is no other way. And then you will wait for 4 weeks for the replacement unit. If you power adapter is dead too, then you can't claim it at the same time - you can come back in 4 weeks and then hand in the power adapter too - and of course wait another 4 weeks for it.

I can't upgrade ios 6 in my iphone 4s

When i check for Software Update in my iphone. It shows to upgrade the ios 6. But after starting the downloading the ios 6, it show some downloading and updating failure message.
Could you please help me to update the new ios 6 in my iphone 4s ?
Thanks in advance.

If you are using a Windows machine, temporarily turn off your
firewall and anti-virus. If you are trying to update over the air,
check your wireless connection. And don't forget there is an
enormous crush on the servers right now. Try doing the
over the air update at another location using another
wireless network to see if that helps.
You could also connect your iPhone 4s to the computer with
which you normally sync and update using iTunes.

Good news! I have the exact same model. However, I had no issues upgrading to 8.1.
Did you do the upgrade from a relatively fresh install? I couldn't even do the upgrade until Windows Update was caught up (about 72 updates).

My Wifi Stopped working automatically after upgrading iOS 7 in my Iphone 4S ??

Hiii....
I upgraded my Iphone 4S but my wifi is not working... Please help me to fix it.

Hi there, this has been happening to a lot of at&t's iPhone 4s. A good friend of mine had lost his wifi before the update and he tried all the tips; hard reset, freezer for 1/2 hour, etc, one time hard reset worked for all if two minutes. He went to Apple store to find out he was out of warranty and that he should take up with the carrier ..... Long short at & t had just got news of an update ( one you just did) that would be addressing the "wifi " problems etc . So he waited and as promised two days later update came and no fix... So he took phone to repair place and orig was some kinda fuse that was needed. , under 40 repair but then got a call that a small circuit board (not positive of exact part)had been compromised and needs replacement part BUT that the repair would be more $ and guess what , the part is on back order ,come to find out that since the last update a lot of 4s owners have been encountering exact same problems that you listed and that it appears to be something to do with update and that apple may be addressing the issue? My sons 4s with sprint same thing, no wifi and he being told it is hardware issues and his ph 14 mo old and he got so mad he went and bought a new one due to time it would take for repair!? Sorry to say we have yet to actually find a quick let alone easy fix!

Apple unable to unlock replacement unlocked iPhone 4S

This is especially important to anyone who purchased an unofficial unlocked iPhone 4S in the USA with an AT&T micro-sim rather than the official unlocked iPhone 4S SKU packages (starting on 11/11/11).
On Oct 17th I purchased a 32gb iPhone 4S at an Apple store in North NJ. The phone was purchased at full price and was indeed unlocked. Unfortunately, the microphone crapped out after one day.
Oct 19th I get a replacement that functions perfectly unfortunately the phone was locked to AT&T. Apple tried feverishly to unlock the phone through their engineering department. The phone was listed on it's profile as "unlocked", but the phone was still locked. The consensus was it was an unforseen issue to an unforseen problem that wasn't anticipated so there was no way to resolve it at the moment. The solution was to return the phone and repurchase another.
Oct 21st I return the replacement phone with the box from the original phone. They bring me a new phone, open the box and hand me the phone. The phone was unlocked.
Oct 31st I get home from a trip and to make a long story short, I break the screen on the unlocked phone. I am unable to get a replacement for my iPhone from any Apple store in my area at this time.
Nov 2nd Apple sends me a replacement they assured me would be unlocked.
Nov 3rd I receive a locked replacement from Apple.
Without going in to too much detail; I spoke to every level of advisor, an engineer for several days following the receipt of the locked replacement and they assured me they would be able to unlock this iPhone by placing the serial number into a database which affirms the unlock every time the phone is synced.
Again, I was assured this would solve the issue of activating the unlock. However it was finally determined (on Nov 11th) that something is inherently wrong in the system. The senior advisor I spoke to yesterday said that the issue I am having has already sprung up a handful of times with similar results. His resultion was for me to go to the Apple store (he made the appointment for me and spoke to the manager of the store) and return my phone and purchase a factory unlocked iPhone 4S.

Believe what you want. Maybe it wasn't locked down from the moment of sale, but it was sold as carrier locked to AT&T.
Similarly, news has broken recently that the SIM slots in phones sold on Sprint were unlocked out of the box, but Sprint would be locking them down effective yesteday.
Any phone that came with an AT&T SIM card was not meant to be unlocked. It may have taken some time for Apple/AT&T to pur the serial numbers in the system and get them locked down, but they were never advertised or sold as unlocked. I don't know why Apple would spend so much time on this with you frankly, as unlocked phones did not officially become available to order in the U.S. until yesterday.
Perhaps, now that there is one model of iPhone in the US that for the first time, is available on multiple carriers, They are ALL unlocked on the shelves and are being fed into the database to be locked down at the time of sale. This is the way it has worked in some countries for a while (where there were multiple, supported, GSM carriers).
Either way, you're not going to find much in the way of sympathy here, since Apple did not advertise or market the unlocked iPhone in the US at the time you bought yours.
If you bought your phone on October 17th, then you have 5 more days left to return it for a refund. I sugest you do that and purchase an iPhone that is actually marketed and sold as unlocked instead.

HT4623 Today i did the latest IOS update now my phone wont turn on
