Is there any difference among vary unlocked iphone?

Hello, I am wondering if there is any difference among the following unlocked iphone?
1)FACTORY UNLOCKED iphone
2)Gevey/Turbo Sim Unlock
3)Software Unlock
Thanks,
Francis

The term "factory unlocked" has no meaning. Apple does not use that term. They simply sell phones that are "locked" or "unlocked". Likewise, the term "SIM unlocked" that you used, also has no meaning.
The best way to make sure a phone is "unlocked" is to purchase an unlocked phone directly from Apple, or from a legitimate source in a country where all iPhones are unlocked (such as India).
A locked phone can only be legally unlocked by the carrier it is locked to.

  • Is there any difference between an unlocked Iphone sold in australia and the USA and if i bought one from the USA what would I have to do to use it.

    Is there any difference between an unlocked Iphone sold in australia and the USA and if I bought one from the USA what would I have to do to use it.

    An unlocked phone is an unlocked phone.  It's sold without a SIM card.  You have to get a SIM card from the carrier you want to use, with an account set up, insert the SIM and activate the phone in iTunes.
    Unlocked phones sold by the USA online Apple store can only be shipped to a US address and paid for by a US credit card
    The only difference between an officially unlocked iPhone sold in the US and Australia is the warranty.  The warranty is valid only in the country of sale.  If you buy the phone in the US and return to Australia, if it breaks you have to ship it to a US resident who will get it to Apple and return it to you.  It can't be shipped direct in either direction.

  • Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?

    I think in the context you're using, they are pretty much the same thing. The only carrier on the planet as of this writing with the CDMA iPhone, which does not use SIM cards AT ALL, is Verizon in the U.S.
    There is a difference between an unlocked iPhone and an iPhone sold without a contract, but still locked to a carrier.
    This list details all of the currently supported iPhone carriers. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    Some carriers sell phones that are NOT carrier locked (i.e. SIM FREE). Some sell locked phones, but offer unlocking services for their subscribers. In SOME countries, unlocked phones can be purchased directly from Apple. Apple also sells locked phones, that do not require a term commitment with the carrier at what is usually the same price as an unlocked phone.

  • Is there any difference between the Verizon iPhone 4s and the AT

    I'm looking online at iPhone cases, and one is a "tough" case, meaning it has an inner silicone shell and a separate outer hard shell. But it claims it will not fit the Verizon iPhone 4s, but it will fit the AT&T iPhone 4s. Is there really anything different between the two?

    The  only difference is who you're giving your money to.
    If you are ordering a "tough case" from case-mate .com, which is what it sounds like, it will fit any 4s. It's just that they have them separated into different categories at the top so you have to specify which one you have to basically filter out the 3gs and other phone cases that wont fit yours. Any case that fits the AT&T iphone 4s will fit the verizon one.
    In my opinion though, you're much better off not getting a case mate case. I've gone through three of them in the last 8 months or so (I had an iPhone 4, and recently got a 4s but still used the same case)
    they are nice when you first get them, but the paint chips off, they scratch the steel band around your, and are made out of really cheap plastic and rubber and it shows. You're better off getting something like the otterbox commuter case (what im currently using and LOVE it) if youre set on having that inner rubber layer of protection.

  • I have updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the original sim card in america as i live in ireland is there any way i can unlock ios 5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 ?

    I have   updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the orginal sim card in america but as i live in ireland an american simcard wont work here is there any way i can unlock ios  5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 so i can use my iphone ?

    It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone.  When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
    The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

  • Is there any difference between the iPad and iPhone cables?

    Alot of people are mentioning that there's difference with the speed while syncronising/backup. I am just wondering is there any difference between the cables? and how can I distinguish it? Coz I have most of the i- products and I have just mixed up all the cables >__< Thank you!

    I can confirm that iPad/iPod cables are identical. Don't know about iPhone. IF there is a difference, you'll know immediately - function or functions won't work.
    There will be NO speed difference. Either the copper is present or it isn't and copper is copper.

  • I have iphone that locked icloud that phone im buy from online  is there any way to make   unlocked icloud id

    i have iphone that locked icloud that phone im buy from online  is there any way to make   unlocked icloud id

    No. The original owner who has the contract with the carrier is the only one who can unlock it once he meets the requirements of the carrier.

  • Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Is there any differences between a iPod nano 1st gen usb cable and a iPhone 3G  usb cable? thanks

    Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
    If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.

  • Are there any difference between iPhone 4S and iPhone 5? What are they?

    What I already know is that iPhone 5 has a larger screen and is slimmer, but are there any difference between the two.  I have iPhone 4S now, should I buy iPhone 5?

    There are a number of major differences between iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, the major one being the processor speed.  iPhone 5 has a much faster processor – two times faster than the processor in iPhone 4S.  This difference is only significant if you use your phone to play high graphics games that require a lot of processing power.  This processing speed also makes the applications load and run faster – iPhone 5 even boots in a shorter time than iPhone 4S.  You can use iPhone 4S comfortably now but when games and graphic apps designed for iPhone 5 are released, you may be forced to upgrade your phone to run the smoothly.

  • Is there any difference in SAP 4.7 and ECC 5.0

    Dear,
    Is there any difference in SAP 4.7 and ECC 5.0...
    Thanx & Regards,
    Mohammad Nabi

    Hi,
    Check this out
    Hi I'm providing the ECC 6.0 functionality if you knows the
    4.7EE the difference is as follows:
    ECC 6.0 New GL Functionality
    1.Activate the New General Ledger Accounting by a single
    click on the clock icon
    2.You will reach to change view "activation of New GL A/cg"
    detail screen and tick the checkbox and save.
    3. After activation of New General Ledger Accounting, you
    exit the IMG screen when you re-enter, you find that a new
    node is added Financial Accounting (New)
    4.After activation of New General Ledger Accounting; a new
    sub node appears in the IMG structure.
    This sub node is Define Segment
    The menu path is:
    SAP Customizing IMG ---> Enterprise Structure -
    >
    Definition --> Financial Accounting --> Define Segment
    In this IMG activity, you define your segments.
    If you then define your profit centers, you can enter an
    associated segment in the master record of a profit center.
    The segment is then derived from the assigned profit center
    during posting.
    5. Activation has created a new field in Profit Center
    Master Record: the SEGMENT
    6.Leading and Non- Leading Ledgers
    In General Ledger Accounting, you can use several Ledgers
    in parallel. This allows you to produce financial
    statements according to different accounting principles. A
    ledger uses several dimensions from the totals table it is
    based upon. When defining Ledgers, one must be defined as
    the Leading Ledger. The Leading Ledger is based on the same
    accounting principles as that of the consolidated financial
    statements. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers
    and is updated in all company codes. This means that it is
    automatically assigned to all company codes. In each
    company code, the Leading Ledger receives exactly the same
    settings that apply to that company code : the currencies,
    the fiscal year variant and posting period variant .
    You must designate one of your ledgers as the Leading
    Ledger. It is not possible to designate more than one
    ledger as the leading ledger.
    The menu path is:
    SAP Customizing IMG -
    > Financial Accounting (New) -
    >
    Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
    > Ledgers ---
    -> Ledger -
    > Define Ledgers for General Ledger
    Accounting
    Clicking on the checkbox identifies one of your ledgers as
    the Leading Ledger.
    7. Activation of Non Leading Ledgers
    Non Leading Ledgers are parallel ledgers to the Leading
    Ledger . They can be based on local accounting principle,
    for example. You have to activate a non- Leading Ledger for
    individual company codes. Non- Leading Ledgers can have
    different fiscal year variants and posting period variants
    per company code to the Leading Ledger of this company
    code.
    The menu path is :
    SAP Customizing IMG -
    > Financial Accounting ( New ) -
    > Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
    > Ledgers -
    ---> Ledger -
    > Define and Activate Non --Leading
    Ledgers
    8.Assign scenarios to ledgers
    A Scenario combines Customizing settings from different
    business views. Each business view specifies which posting
    data is transferred from different application components
    in General Ledger Accounting, such as cost Center update or
    Profit Center update .You assign the desired scenarios to
    your ledgers. For each ledger, you define which fields are
    filled with posting data from other application components.
    SAP delivers a number of scenarios in the standard system.
    It is not possible to create additional scenarios.
    The menu path is:
    SAP Customizing IMG -
    > Financial Accounting (New) -
    > Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
    > Ledgers -
    --->Fields -
    > Display Scenarios for General Ledger
    Accounting.
    9. Cost of sales accounting
    Cost of sales accounting is a way to create a profit and
    loss statement (P&L) for a company by comparing the
    revenues to the costs or expenses incurred to obtain these
    revenues.
    The expenses are mainly divided by functional area such as:
    Manufacturing
    Administration
    Sales
    Research and Development
    We can activate Cost of Sales Accounting by the following
    menu path :
    SAP Customizing IMG -
    > Financial Accounting ( New ) -
    -> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
    >
    Ledgers ->Ledger---> Activate Cost of Sales Accounting
    Offsetting Account Report ECC 5.0
    Offsetting account report for vendors in ECC 5.0 is
    possible after implementing the OSS Note 1034354
    Reward if helpful.

    Is there any difference in packaging of IPAD AIR for INDIA and other countries?
    because i didn't get any sim eject tool in IPAD AIR box.

    I believe it does vary depending on country.  A paper clip works equally well, so I wouldn't get too upset.

  • Is there any difference in quality between mp4 and m4v?

    Is there any difference in quality between mp4 and m4v? I am figuring out how best to save old VCR files. Is the 264 category the best?

    So, what would that software be? Anything that I mentioned, e.g., iMovie? Any Video Converter?
    I'm a Mac user so I want files that play "natively" in QT X, QT 7, QL, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, and/or TV players. This means I want the H.264/AAC compressed data in MOV, MP4, or M4V file containers. I can use QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, and /or QT X to move MPEG-4/AAC compressed data to MOV file containers, MPEG Streamclip to movie M4V and MOV MPEG-4/AAC data to MP4 file containers, and Subler to move MP4 or MOV MPEG-4 AVC/AAC/AC3/Chapter data to M4V file containers. This is strictly a simple "copy" operation and no recompression of data is involved. (I.e., the quality is not changed.)
    iMovie is a video editor and it forces an export conversion of your project once completed which can degrade quality. Have never used the Any Video Converter so I don't know if it has an audio and/or video "passthrough" feature for data already in a compatible compression formats. If it doesn't then any conversion it makes has the potential to degrade video content.
    As to AVI, this is a legacy file container abandoned by Microsoft a dozen years ago in favor of their modernized WMV compression format/file type products. Compared to MKV, AVI is an outmoded/out-of-date container which I don't recommend you use unless you are a glutton for punishment. However, if you must use it, then you might try the AvidMux app. It can "copy" compatible content to a number of file container types—including AVI and MKV. Just don't blame me if its use creates more problems than it solves on current Mac systems.

  • Is there any difference between the 2 different USB cords when syncing???

    I know this may be a paranoid question to ask but I just wanted to make sure.
    Is there any difference between the newer USB cords with the shorter plug (the end that goes into the iPhone) and the older ones with the bigger, square-shaped plugs that you can pinch on the sides to retract?
    Is there a difference in transfer speed, syncing speed, or reliability, or build quality?
    Just asking cuz the newer USB cord that came with my iPhone 3GS is getting frayed and so I'm using the older one instead.
    Thanks to whoever helps.

    No difference except, as you noted, you have to squeeze the older one to remove it. It's important that you do that so you don't damage it or the iPod.
