Did Apple sell me a used iPhone?

Hi. Everything was in Spanish when I first turned on my iPhone. It said the iPhone belonged to some Spanish name but I changed it to my name.
[email protected] that's the email that's already been typed in my Game Center.
Is this default? Or did apple really sell me a used iPhone? Please tell me soon, I've had the phone for 8 days and if it is used I have to return it.. Thank you

If you bought the device from an Apple Retail Store and didn't buy a discounted refurbished device, then no they didn't.
If you bought it from a third party electronics store or a wireless carrier store (like T-Mobile), then it is a possibility that that third party did sell you a used phone.

Apple sold me an used iphone 3GS, I just found that out

On october 17, 2011, iphone 3GS became available for free with two year contract, so I decided to buy a new one for my mom,
Now, everything is fine, I decided to jailbreak the phone, but before I did that, I used tinyumbrella to save the phone's SHSH,
after that, tinyumbrella read my phone and it says that the phone that I have has a existing SHSH from tinyumbrella which is 4.1,
that firmware is hecka old! It came out last year when Iphone 4 came out!
Now, maybe apple sold me an USED JAILBROKEN IPHONE 3GS???

I believed that my iphone 3GS has been jailbroken before, other wise, 4.1 SHSH should not be saved on tinyumbrella and cydia.
Now, I don't have no problem updating my 3GS to IOS 5 and downgrading it back to IOS 4.1 because of that SHSH saved from tinyumbrella.
I take that as advantage to me because now, I don't have no problem Jailbreaking my 3GS as well as UNLOKING it.

Does apple sell the US Model iPhone 5S in the UK apple stores?

So I'm going to the UK for a few months and I was wondering if apple sold the US model iPhone in their UK stores?
Thanks.

Well no, of course they don't. If you are going to the UK for a few months, then buy an iPhone in the UK for use over there or if you have an unlocked iPhone from the US, then you can use it in the UK with local sim cards for the length of time that you are over there - you will definitely be able to get a signal on UK 3G, but with a US iPhone, you will not be able to benefit from 4G in the UK because the frequencies are different.
If you have a US iPhone that is locked to a carrier, then you can use international roaming charges.
Buy a new phone for use in the UK, but no, the UK Apple store stocks iPhone models that work in the UK and not the US.

Can i buy apple care for a used iphone?

Can i buy apple care for an old or used iphone?

If it is within its original warranty period, and you can prove it, then yes.

How do I add my apple id to a used iphone that I purchased and activated? it is still under the previous owner's id.

How do I add my apple id and erase the previous owner's id, when my phone has been activated and ready to use?

Unless you have the previous owners password you cannot remove the Apple ID. The previous owner did not correctly prepare that iPhone For sale and needs to remove all information. If the Activation Lock is not set by turning on Find My Phone in Settings, iCloud, you can go to Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings to get rid of it. If Find My Phone is on, only the previous owner can clear it.

Why did Apple choose 1334x750 for the iPhone 6?

I'm not just an iOS user, I'm also a developer who's thinking about developing for iOS, and I'm wondering what the benefits/detriments of Apple choosing 1334x750 as the resolution for the iPhone 6. It's such a bizarre resolution; I've never seen it anywhere. It seems to make more sense to use 1280x720, which is normal HD.
Question from a user's perspective: Does this make application content fuzzy, scale wrong, misalign, or anything else like that?
Question from a developer's perspective: Is it difficult programming for this resolution, or does Apple naturally scale/interpolate graphics regardless of the app's output resolution(s)?

Anyone here who actually knows is either an Apple employee, or has signed an NDA. Anyone other than these types of people would be guessing.
Apple employees who visit the forum are not permitted to identify themselves as such, and are just users (except for Community Specialists, but they are a separate subject that doesn't affect this thread).
If I were to guess I'd say the pixel pitch is fixed for the Retina display material, and that's the number of pixels that fit at that pitch in a screen the size of the iPhone 6. Doing the math compared to an iPhone 5 series it makes logical sense. Did you notice that the 6 Plus is 1920 x 1080 and has a different pitch from all of the other Retina display iPhones?
To answer the other question you asked, I have never noticed fuzziness or aliasing on any iPhone display.

Assigning apple ID to previously used iphone.

I have an iPhone 3gs that I have givven to a family member. the phone provider has already made changes to account for billing purposes. I now want to apply the other apple id to this phone, but my old user name is greyed out and I can't assign the new Id tot he phone. WE want this phone to have access to iCloud but new user must assign her established Apple id. Help Wannted.

Unless you have the previous owners password you cannot remove the Apple ID. The previous owner did not correctly prepare that iPhone For sale and needs to remove all information. If the Activation Lock is not set by turning on Find My Phone in Settings, iCloud, you can go to Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings to get rid of it. If Find My Phone is on, only the previous owner can clear it.

Did apple charge me for my iPhone 5 replacement?

Yesterday, I went into apple so they can fix this problem i was having with my iphone, I went online about three days before going into apple to ask if they would charge me for the replacement, I know they charge you only if the product had any physical damage or water damage, my phone didnt have a physical or water damage. So I went into apple & they replaced it without any cost but I went in my inbox & I received this e-mail saying the price was $299.00 for the iphone but the amount due was $0.00? Did they charge me without telling me??

I am sure they would have told you in the store if they were going to charge you. Though the repair cost should have been $229 if it was an iPhone 5 out of warranty.

Associate apple id with a used iPhone I bought

I bought an iPhone from my friend. How do I associate it with my Apple ID instead of his?

On the phone you purchased, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & then delete the iCloud account. Once you do that: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Now, set it up using your ID.

Why did Apple choose new size for iPhone 5?

I am a bit worried that the new physical size of the iPhone 5 will make a great number of existing accessories useless. A own a Tomtom GPS car holder as well as an advanced iPhone holder for my bike, and they are not exactly cheap to buy? How come Apple decided to change the standard size?

The 3 and 3gs, the 4 and 4s...now the 5 and possibly the 5s next year. the accessories worked with each different number of phone released. At any rate, at least they are selling an adapter for the 5 for charging, etc.

Why Did apple charge me for my iPhone 5 Pre-order?

I was charged $110.88 by apple today, and I thought that apple only charged you once your order shipped. I ordered an iPhone 5 and AppleCare+.
Any ideas?

As Simmm said, Apple only charges once your order ships. I believe AT&T works as you describe - charge you immediately for your entire order.

Why did apple stop makeing ios for iphone 3g?

i've been wondering why you all have stoped making ios for iphone 3's inpurticular because i can't get any up dateed stuff on my iphone?

Because the hardware can't support it. The iPhone 3G is very old, it had to be dropped at some point. All later models are still supported as of now.

Why did Canon sell out for MOV files?

Man, I hate, hate, hate MOV files. With Canon being the #1 digital camera in the world, why on earth did they sell out and use MOV files for their HD video on their DSLR's.
Like really. AVI is the world standard, so easy to work with. MOV files to convert to AVI means you loose something in the process. I just wish Canon didn't sell out.

You misread my statements regarding what I'm implying...I think Canon made their own point when they stated that they intended the 5D as a professional stills camera with an interesting video feature.
To my point, and to Canon's point (again, as they have stated)...when they invented the 5D, they weren't shopping it around to the production houses as "the new digital cinema camera" to replace the standard ARRI or Panavision cameras.
I know all about the episode of "House" shot with the 5D. How could I not? Of course, nobody wants to ponder why they didn't shoot more than one episode with the 5D if it was the better choice in terms of price, workflow, technology or visual accuracy. Or, why is it that more shows have not followed suite? There have been a few, but everytime I ask people to give me examples, somehow I always get the same one ("that episode of 'House' from last year"). There are some good TV shows, and a few short scenes in major motion pictures, that were shot with the 5D. It's just that the only thing ever put out there as a showcase piece is that one episode of "House" and nothing more.
Really off the point, but as I said before, it wasn't Canon's "intention" to market the 5D or the 7D as a video camera when they built it. That was a happy accident.
Of course Canon targets professional video producers now, and I could neither imply or fully declare anything to the contrary without being easily rebutted. Again, just to clarify, we are talking again about the difference between the original intentions of the Canon engineers when the camera was built, versus the adapted marketplace strategy once a new use was discovered for the video function on the DSLRs.
I just used a chair as a stepstool to change a lightbulb, and I'm sure while the manufacturer appreciates that I've found additional uses for the hardware, they probably would still admit there are certain drawbacks, and that a fully-engineered stepladder has much to offer that a chair can't really provide in the original design spec. Likewise, while I can sit on my stepladder, it's not nearly as comfortable as the padded cushion on the chair.
That's the 5D...very capable, and sometimes the best tool for the job, but it wasn't built to be a video camera and so it has certain limitations that are all more than well known at this point. Video cameras, which have multiple tools for the standard video production environment, lack the same lens selection and image characteristics that have made the DSLRs such a popular option at a reasonable price point.
You can create a whole rig around a Canon 5D to get it to more or less OPERATE like a video camera, but there's a cost there anyway and some of the better rigs are downright expensive once you build out. Likewise, you can get a good lens adapter for most video cameras to gain some of that DOF and image that the DSLR offers, while maintaining all the "video" controls like built in ND filters, waveform/vectorscope, zoom rockers, auto focus, zebras, whatever...you get the idea.
BACK to the original post, you can probably bet that if Canon can work it out, they will find a way to streamline the video recording on the next generation of video-capable DSLRs and that may or may not include the Quicktime/MOV file garbage, but it's certainly a complaint they are aware of for now.

<Edited by Host>

The iPhone has Activation Lock and will require you to have the previous owner's Apple ID and password or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPhone for a refund if you can.

Does apple, sells unlock iphone 5 and can be use in asia

wanted to know if apple store is selling unlock iphone 5 and can it be use in asian countries?

Yes, the AppleStore does sell unlocked iPhone 5's in some countries (e.g.UK, US, EU), and yes it can be used on any compatible GSM network. Depending on which country you buy the iPhone 5 unlocked from, LTE (4G) may not work in the country you take it to as different countries use different LTE bands.
