Does financing a new iphone 6 affect credit?

I used the ATT upgrade to finance an iphone 6 plus...2 year financing for an $850 phone...chaned the rate plan...i've been doing business with ATT for eons and shopped around before doing this...never financed a phone before, no credit was pulled (maybe a soft pull if anything)...is this considered debt like a credit card?  Effect on score?Mine is at 681 according to fico discover, 695 equifax, 675 experien (may AMEX pull)

I also financed my 6 through ATT, and no actual credit filing was made. They do SP your file to make sure you aren't in real credit trouble, but it's a light check. They know people will keep their phone active, and if they don't pay, ATT can brick it for you, no extra charge

  • Why does my brand new iphone die???

    Why does my brand new iphone die???

    sorry!!!
    Make sure that the USB cable is plugged into the iPhone 4S and iTunes is running. (The only reason we have iTunes running is that, once the device boots into DFU, iTunes will prompt you with a dialogue box.)
    Now, turn the device off by holding the power button till Slide to Power Off appears on screen. (If you plugged in the cable after turning the device off, it will turn on again.)
    With your device off. press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds.
    Without releasing the Power button, press the Home button and keep both the buttons pressed for 10 more seconds.
    Release the Power button, but keep the Home button pressed for another 10 seconds.
    The device should kick into DFU mode in around the 7th or 8th second, and iTunes will display a prompt that say's "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode you must restore....
    The black and totally blank screen is totally normal; there is no need to be alarmed. This was all that it took for you to put your iPhone 4S in DFU mode.
    Click on "OK" and follow the steps to restore iPhone.

  • "Find my iPhone does not recognize New iPhone 5

    I use my AppleID to "Find my iPhone" successfully on iPhone 4, iPhone4S, iPad, iMac. All show up. New iPhone5 iOS 6.0.2 uses same AppleID in the General iCloud settings, Contacts,email,photostream,safari bookmarks,reminders,notes, are all synced fine. I can even see how much storage is available in my iCloud account on the new iPhone5.  The Problem is that "Find my iPhone" does not recognize the new iPhone 5. Yes location services is turned on. The iPhone5 can find its location in the map app, can find all other devices in "Find my iPhone" just not itself in "Find my iPhone" I tried a hard reset.
    ANY IDEAS?

    How about when the passcode is correct but not recognized?
    I was prompted to enter a password to unlock the device when I downloaded IOS 7 several months ago.
    Entered the password every single day for months, never a problem.
    Yesterday I attempted to download the most recent IOS version and I was asked for a passcode before I could do that (my phone was unlocked). Online I found out the passcode is the unlocking password. It did not work and I was unable to use the phone for several minutes after 5 attempts. I just stored the phone and when home I charged it overnight.
    This morning I unlocked the phone as usual  and used it without a problem for emails, phone calls. etc.. Now, after not having used it for a while, I am asked for the passcode to unlock it as usual, and although I am sure I entered the right code, it is not recognized. I am unable to unlock my phone, although I have done it for months.
    This is not a case of forgotten passcode! And I see it has happened to many others that use 4s and 5s iphones.
    i could attempt the iTune connection fix, but it troubles me that all solutions are presented for forgotten pascodes, and in many cases actually the passcodes are not recognized. Which means, it will keep happening unless Apple offers a solution.

  • Why does my brand new iPhone 5 show 6 days of talk time under the cell usage section of the general settings ? Was my phone repackaged ?

    Just curious if I can find this out somewhere ? I purchased new from A Verizon owned store .... When i go to general then usage and then cellular usage it says the phone was reset and that prior to the rest there was 6 days and 2 hours of talk time ?  I also purchased a new iPhone 5 for my wife and checked her settings and hers does not show this usage.....
    Just looking for some kind of logical explanation and it i should be concerned and return it....
    Thanks

    Restored from the back up from my 4S
    Should the all time usage meter copy over too ? That seems odd

  • Why does my brand new iphone 5 get pink pixels sometimes when i take a photo?

    i have had my iphone 5 for about two weeks now. i have only used the camera a handful of times; twice now when ive took a photo, purple pixel lines cover the screen. Is this just a software problem, or is my iphone faulty??

    Probably a hardware fault. Book an appointment at the Genuis bar and go from there, you should get the phone swapped over.

  • HT4859 what does it mean if my new iphone says that iCloud backup are compatible with the version of iOS (6.0.2) on this iblePhone

    I am trying to back up my fiels from old iPhone 3S to the new one I have just bought using iCloud and when I am doing it, my new iphone 5 is writing thet iCloud back-up are compatible with the version of iOS  (6.0.2) on this iPhone. What does it mean?

    I just worked on this same issue for someone else at work (iPhone 4 or 4S up to date). The iPhone 5 needs to be up to date to the newest version of IOS
    Here is what I did:
    1. Got into the iPhone 5 without using an account
    2. After getting in, it shows that there is an update
    3. Completed the update
    4. After the phone rebooted,  went in and completed a reset of the phone to factory
    5. When it came back up followed prompts and was able to restore from iCloud backup.
    Hope this helps

  • New iphone purchased with someonse else info on it

    I received an email today from someone you purchased an new iphone yesterday at the same store I took my iphone to a few weeks ago for a voice mail problem. This person plugs in her new iphone and my email address came up and no telling what other info of mine might be on her NEW IPONE. How did this happen? ATT says its an Apple issue I can not get anyone at Apple.

    A new iPhone that was purchased at an Apple Store or at an AT&T Store?
    Not sure how this can occur since the only thing an Apple or AT&T Store does with a new iPhone is activate the iPhone with AT&T.
    If at an Apple Store, have you called the Apple Store?

  • I need to erase all content and settings from old iPhone 4s.  Will doing so affect new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?

    I need to erase all the content and settings from old iPhone 4s.  Will doing so affect content on new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?

    No, it will not affect the iPhone 6 content if you wipe the old iPhone 4s.

  • New iPhone, Different Carrier.  Does this affect Backup

    Does changing carriers when I get a new iPhone affect a Backup & Restore?
    I currently have an iPhone 5 on AT&T.  My new iPhone 6 Plus arrives in a few days, but I'm going with T-Mobile this time.  I'm planning on doing a "Backup & Restore" using iTunes, but I'm unclear about how that works since I'm going with a different carrier for the new iPhone.  Other than that poorly designed AT&T app, will any AT&T settings or info be restored to my new T-Mobile iPhone?

    I understand how to transfer my content from my iPhone 5 to my new iPhone 6.  I just wanted to make sure that in the process, I wasn't restoring AT&T settings or info.  The page you linked to doesn't mention anything about when the old and new iPhone are on different carriers.
    You say the carrier is "not important."  Does any of the old carrier info get restored to the new phone?

  • A family of 5, have new iphone 4s phones.Because we shared an itunes     account previously, now when installing the new phones, it does not allow us to update to individual itunes accounts.  How do we change the accounts for each phone installation?

    A family of 5, have new iphone 4 s phones.
    Because we shared the itunes account previously, on installation of the new devices, the computer does not recognise individual itunes accounts.
    So all 5 devices are sharing the same itunes account!!!
    How do we set up new accounts on each individual phone?

    The iTunes stores in different countries are entirely separate.  You can only use an iTunes store credit in the country in with it was created and purchased content cannot be shared across countries.  Family sharing groups must be country-specific, using iTunes store credits for purchases only within that country, and sharing purchases that were made in that country.  You can contact iTunes store support for more details on these restrictions here: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

    Actually, in the US at least the website states
    You can recycle your iPhone at the Apple Retail Store and get immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.**

  • HT4236 I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto, last import and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the mem

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • HT2534 Its is fake . i have bought iphone today but i haven't cred card so how i create account ? Your example type "none" window not come . New iphone but with out ID useless Phone :(

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when creating the account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) ? e.g. if doing it on your phone and you are currently logged into an account then log out of it, find a free app in the app store app, tap on its free price button, tap 'install app', and then tap on 'create new apple id' on the popup that you get. I tried those instructions on my phone a few days ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on the payments screen.

  • I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4
