Older iphone maybe is better then the new one!

Lets compare the two iPhones shall we?
1st Gen. iPhone - Pros: 10$ saved a month in payments, get the 2.0 iphone software
Cons: No GPS, No 3G
3G iPhone - Pros: GPS, 3G
Cons: 10$ more a month on your monthly payment for the 3G pretty much, Older iphone is about the same except for the GPS and 3G!
-- So basically if you are planning to keep the older model iphone you get the same exact things as the new iphone just no GPS or 3G. So if you dont care about 3G or GPS you save money and get the same thing as the new one!
I hope i helped some confused people out there because 20 mins ago i was really confused about the monthly rates and what not and im not about to pay more a month for 3G that i dont need personally understandable that others do so hope i helped some people out!

With a 3G iPhone when connected to a 3G network provides for being able to receive and place calls while actively accessing the internet.
This isn't possible with the 2G iPhone when actively accessing the internet via EDGE.
If you don't live in an area that has 3G network coverage, or don't regularly travel to areas that do on business, this is not important. This alone is important to me, since I live in an area where at&t recently added 3G network coverage (2-3 months ago or so), and I've missed a number of business calls that went straight to voicemail while I was actively accessing the internet via EDGE.
I don't SMS that much. I've come close to exceeding 200 in a month, but I've never gone over with my iPhone during the last 12 months.
The 2nd generation iPhone and the cost of available SMS plans isn't for everyone, and neither was or is the first generation.

  • I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again?  I stupidly synced the wrong one.

    I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod.  At some stage when I thought I was syncing correctly I wasn't so I lost the music files from my library.  Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again?

  • Okay, so WHY is intel's legacy driver way better than the new one?

    I bit the bullet and installed the intel-legacy video driver because I wanted to see if it was true that the old one was better than the new.
    Result: Compiz is REMARKABLY smoother. As in, I'd forgotten just how pretty a silky smooth Compiz setup really is. I've done no benchmarking, don't care to. The point is, for example, I can set the opacity to 85% in the Move Window plugin and it doesn't hose the framerate.
    My question is, why? What's going on in the new driver that made the performance totally tank? When there's a new driver and EVERYONE seems to have the same problem, I'm a little confused as to why they "improved" it.

    Not only KMS, but also DRI2 and GEM. The next Intel video driver release should support only UXA, getting rid of the legacy cruft and concentrating on supporting one option properly.

  • Now i can give my wife my old iphone and i will get the new one

    both of us will be very happy...thanks apple...win win...peace
    rastafari
    and no i do not feel apple screwed me over by making improvements on their product...EVERYONE knew this was coming and made the decision because they needed it the way it worked as a 2g phone...and for all we know the 3g may have a flaw and the old phones will be hot commodities...

    Ummm--you're taking the new phone (from what I can gather from your post) and giving your wife the old phone. HOW IS SHE GETTING A PHONE THAT COSTS "a couple hundred less"?????
    YOU ARE GETTING A CHEAPER PHONE...she's just getting your "cast-off".
    It's nice that you're giving your wife your "old" phone...but it's not special and you shouldn't feel especially proud. If you didn't have a wife...what would you do with this phone when you get the new one?

  • I can't install an older version of flash player and the new one won't work.

    I've read on the boards everyone says to run the Adobe uninstaller prior to trying to install the older version and I did, but the download still says it can't install the older version because it isn't the current version. And the current version isn't running on my computer. All I have is a black screen. I need the adobe flash player to for work purposes and it is really hindering my ability to function at work without it. Can someone please provide some kind of help that may actually work? Because I've uninstalled and reinstalled this several times. I have tried adjusting settings...everything I have found on the boards so far.

    My experience (going back to a G5 iMac in 2005) is that you MUST install the lower version first in order to run two different versions on the same machine. I did it that way with CS and CS3, then CS3 and CS4, and later on my MacBook with CS4 and CS5. Now my Mini has CS5.5 and CS6, but I've always had to install the lower CS version first or the higher would keep the lower from installing.
    So you will probably have to remove CS4 and then reinstall them both in the proper order.
    Is there any particular reason you want or need both? In my case, I already had CS 3 and installed CS4 in addition, but later removed CS3 as I found CS4 was able to do everything CS3 did and then some. In fact I'm unaware of anything aside from some older filters that would run better in CS3 than CS4.

  • The iCloud id on my iPhone does not change to the new one set up with iCloud on my MacBook Pro Maverick

    I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and bought an iPhone 5s. Initially I used the id already registered with Apple but changed it after a few days having used it on both my phone and MacBook Pro. Once I changed my id on the website, my MacBook Pro is fine but my phone has not synched the new id although any changes I make to Calendar, Notes, Contacts, etc do synch between them - puzzling. How can I change the id on my phone - in Settings it does not appear to be possible.
    I am on OS 10.9.2 & iOS 7.1
    Many thanks for your help.

    Go to website.
    Change it back.
    You will have 2 minutes to delete iCloud from iPhone.
    Change it to new one on website and verify.
    Sign in new one on the phone.

  • Import iphone 4 video to ipad (the "new" one)

    Hey there,
    I shot a video with my iphone 4 and want to import it to the ipad  to work on it with iMovie.
    Is it still the same as I need to convert the video or is there an easy way?
    Currently I can see the video on the ipad under videos, but I can not add it to iMovie, I only see the videos I shot with the ipad
    Appreciate any help...
    Michael

    Have a read of this:
    File Transfer between iPad2 and iPad(3) via iTunes
    It explains how to transfer videos or projects.
    We talk about iPad to iPad but imagine the one iPad is your iPhone.
    What you did wrong was copy the video to the movies tab, you should be importing video via the photos tab.
    Then the photos app can see it, and so also iMovie.
    iMovie cannot edit from the movies app (this is for copyright movies).

  • HT4061 I bought a new Iphone and when I started the new one, the old is disabled

    I´ve just bought a new Iphone 5c, but I still have the 3G and would like to keep it running with a different tel number.
    But as soon as I started the new Iphone the old one started to to accept my passcode and now is disabled.
    How can I unlock and back it up.:?

    Typically, when someone replaces an iPhone with a newer model and uses the same telephone number, the old iPhone's telephone connection is disabled, but the iPhone still works (nuch like an iPod Touch).  Is that your situation?

  • HT204053 how can i delete an older apple ID and only use the new one?

    how can I delete an old Apple account and transfer it to a new one?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer.

  • Install older version of Photoshop and keep the new one

    Hi,
    I use PS CC 2014 and I encountered some issues with it.
    I want to reinstall PS CC (1 version older than what i currently have) and keep both versions.
    Is it safe to install the older version and still keep the older one?
    Will it not overwrite newer files? Will it overwrite my new settings?
    e.g. will it overwrite the ACR version?
    Thank you

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • I was given a 2010 17" MacBook Pro. I want to reset it to new and then migrate only SOME of my data from my older Mac Book Pro to the newer one. How?

    A friend gave me a 17" MacBook Pro used for only one project. (Lucky me) I want to reset/register the laptop as new and need to know how to do that.
    THEN...
    I need to migrate data from my older Macbook Pro to the newer one. I don't want to migrate all of the data. I have been moving data from one computer to another for 15 years and want to move only what is current and what I now need (Good-bye Quark files)--can I do that? How? Also, the older laptop is running Lion. The "new" one is running Leopard. Is that an issue? Do I need to upgrade the newer laptop to Lion first?
    Thanks.

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    Unfortunately, Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant are set up to migrate your entire Home folder, third-party applcations and support files, and system preferences. If you use the Setup Assistant that opens the first time you boot Lion after installing, then you should migrate your Home folder, etc. This is the easiest way to do it.
    Once migration is finished you can delete what you don't want.

  • My old Apple ID won't allow me to use the old password to log out of the cloud. I can't use the new one, either. The new Apple ID is in the iTunes and App store. But I can't change it on the cloud without logging out. Which I can't do.

    I can't use the old Apple id and Apple password on my new Iphone 6 - I can use the new ones. But I can't access the cloud in the meantime. The iTunes and App Stire has the new Apple ID, but I can't get into the settings to change it on the iCloud. It asks for the Old Apple ID and password, which doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change the old Apple ID on the iPhone in the settings for the iCloud?

    First, try the new password.  If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
    Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
