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.

  • Hi is there any difference between lens 24-70 mm f/2.8 L USM and 24-70 mm f/2.8 L II USM?

    Hi is there any difference between lens 24-70 mm f/2.8 L USM and 24-70 mm f/2.8 L II USM?

    The image quality difference is subtle -- but like most lenses, you wont notice an image quality difference if you're viewing images on a small display.  You'd have to view them at 100% size.
    The original 24-70 is a "reverse zoom".  When the lens is extended it's 24mm.  When it's fully retracted it's 70mm.  A reverse zoom has an advantage when being used with a lens hood since the hood stays in place but the lens pulls back as you zoom in (but that's when the angle of view is narrower).   You'll notice the hood on the version II is much shallower -- it's designed to work at the 24mm end but that means the hood is not providing much help at the 70mm end.
    The lens uses 82mm filter threads.  That may sound inconsequential but the 24-70 and 70-200 are often used as a nice complimentary pair... but that means the filters that fit the 70-200 wont fit the 24-70 -- necessisitating that you (a) buy filters (ND, polarizers, etc.) in both sizes, or (b) buy everything in the 82mm size and use "step up rings" to allow the filters to be used on the 77mm thread lenses.
    There was a bit of "zoom creep" on the original.  I have not used the II so I can't comment on whether or not it still has "zoom creep".  (zoom creep is where the weight of the lens is actually enough that merely pointing it up or down can cause the lens to want to creep in that direction... thereby changing your focal length if you're not holding on to it.  It's subtle... it's not like it slides to the limit... but it doesn't stay precisely where you left it.  It will move a bit.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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.

  • HT1604 Is there any difference between Mac OS Extended Format and ExFat?

    Is there any difference between Mac OS Extended Format and ExFat?  I read in a blog that the ExFat was a good way to format an external drive because it avoided many of the pitfalls of the other formats, as long as it is supported by the operating system.  I tried to format my new Seagate drive, and got an invalid option error.  I was able to format it in Mac OS Extended format.  Can you please tell me if this is similar to ExFat.  Thanks.

    The Mac OS format can only be natively read to and written to by a computer running the Mac OS. This creates a problem if the user wishes his external, or other drive to have seamless compatibility between two different OS's, such as Windows and Mac. Yes, there are software solutions that enable a Windows PC to work with a drive formatted as Mac OS, but it gets complicated if you wish that drive to have compatibility "on the fly" with any PC you may encounter.
    It turns out that the format known as ExFAT is able to be natively read by both a Mac and a PC, without running any additional drivers on either machine. ExFAT also doesn't have some of the limitations of FAT32, which both OS's will also read/write.
    ExFAt is not perfect though. Formatting the drive as Mac OS Extended has some advantages on a Mac. First, it is the only format that permits all functionality of the Mac OS, such as using the drive for Time Machine.
    ExFAt is often thought of as the best middleground for an external partition/drive that needs to have easy cross platform compatibility between a Mac and  PC running Vista or Windows 7.

  • Is there any difference between the digital connection cables?

    Is there any difference between digital connection cables that connect to the back of a computer?  I've seen some with two groups of nine pins and a blade.  I've seen some with a solid group of 27 pins.  I've seen the blade pin and the four pin.  I currently run one that has two groups of nine pins with a blade pin.  I use it for DVI and it does ok.  I wanted to look into the HDMI cable and see how or if things would be different.  I bought a cable that has the 27 pin connector with a blade.  It physically connects but there is no signal.  I checked the monitor and I set it first to HDMI and then tried AUTO.  It made no difference.  I powered it all down and restarted it all and there was no difference.  Do I need to keep looking for a cable that has the same design connection to the PC but has the HDMI connection on the other end.  I may have this info wrong.  I just know I have two large connections at the time but the last cable I tried had one large connector and one that looked like an advanced USB design.  And then is there really any gain between the two as far as video quality or response?

    There are several type of connectors/cables with different effect.
    VGA
    DVI
    HDMI
    To understand more, I would say please look it up.
    Wish you luck,

  • If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?

    If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
    E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
    Thanks!

    Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it.  Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

    Hi, I just watched the video for the Microcell and you have to use your broadband connection to get it to work and the problem is my broadband connection is down the times I'm using my 3G. That's why I use it, because my broadband connection is not working so much of the time.
    Any other suggestions? :-)
