How can I tell if my iPhone 4 was bought at apple

Here is the thought if you buy a phone form manufacture and it is not tied to any carrier. That allows me to choose a carrier for my phone. So what makes it right that once I use a carrier it becomes locked to them and I have no choice

Incorrect.  Not all iPhones purchased directly from Apple are unlocked.

    Method #1... Call 800-MY-APPLE & have them check the serial number. If a previous owner called in to find out how to use find my iphone, chances are there'll be a case made of it

  • How can I tell when a trackpad was bought.

    Hello, sorry for my poor English.
    I need to know when a trackpad was bought.
    I don´t have the box nor the receipt.
    I tried but the serial number but it´says invalid serial number.
    I called apple but they couldn´t tell me.
    Thank you.

    There is no way.  Apple would be the only source and, as far as I know, they do not maintain a database of peripherals.

    How can i tell if CellSpy pro was installed onto my iPhone S4 without my knowledge?

    Correct. Someone would need access to the phone and know your iTunes password to install an App. Do your mystery phone-calls seem to be the same as in the link below?

  • How can i tell if my iphone is unlocked?

    How can I tell if my Iphone 3GS is unlocked.  I bought it used and it still has ATT info on screens but the seller said it was unlocked.  Is there a test or message somewhere?

    If it is a 3Gs from AT&T it is locked. It could have been "unofficially" unlocked (what iOS version is on it?) but if you upgrade it will relock to AT&T.
    AT&T will not unlock iPhones period. Contact the seller and get your money back.

    how can i tell if my iphone is ios 7

    I heard that there was some type of security breach for iphones that use ios 7 and that users may need to go and do some type of system update.  The security breach meant that people could actually access our email, texts, and even our bank account apps.  Has anyone else heard of this, and if so what is it that we have to do to ensure the security of our phones?

    I have model A1429.  Sprint said it was now unlocked.  What is the simplest way to verify that it is unlocked and will work with another sim card in Israel?

    Try a SIM from a different carrier.
    Look at the receipt from where the device was purchased.

  • How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

    How can we tell if the iphone is already fully charged in ios7? Even if its 100% the thunderbolt icon is still displayed. Not like in ios 6 that we will know when to unplug the charger because there is an indicator.

    For those who seem unfamiliar with what is being asked:
    On iOS 6 and older, just because the phone reached 100%, didn't mean it was Fully Charged. The way you could tell was the lightning bolt symbol that indicated the device was charging would change to an outlet plug when the device was not only 100%, but also stopped accepting further charge. This symbol switch would occur anywhere from 5-15 minutes after the device already was displaying 100%.
    Now, on iOS 7, while it still reaches 100% with that same lightning bolt charge symbol, during the 100% point, it never switches to the plug symbol to indicate the charge period is totally finished.
    Can anyone confirm if there is a way to see this charge completion in iOS 7 since it appears that there is no longer a symbol for it? Is there any indication that Apple may have changed the charging display so that now it only displays 100% when it would have previously displayed that plug symbol?

    If you are seeing "Installed" in the Purchased section of your iPhone, then it only means that the app is installed on your device. Is that where you are seeing the "Installed"?

    Sure, with the right equipment/contacts...but, not easily.

    Nope, Verizon won't help you, at least not without a court order.
