WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE UK WITH IPHONE COST IN UK - US CAME OUT BETTER.

From BBC Article Today from their Web Site... IS IT A BETTER DEAL.....
UK iPhone users get better deals
The iPhone was launched last summer
Better deals for UK users of Apple's iPhone are being launched as operator O2 overhauls tariffs less than three months after the mobile hit the stores.
The lowest £35 monthly tariff is to offer about three times as many texts and minutes, while the current £55 deal will be cut to £45 from Friday.
O2 is also introducing a £75 deal, with 3,000 minutes and 500 text messages.
Apple slashed the US price two months after the iPhone's launch, sparking rumours of slowing sales.
But the manufacturer later announced that it had sold one million iPhones ahead of its target date of the end of September. The phone had gone on sale in July.
UK customers will be switched automatically to the new deals by mid-March.
Fast-selling
Those on the £35 deal will see their allowances increase from 200 minutes and 200 text messages, to 600 minutes and 500 texts.
Users paying £55 a month will enjoy a £10 cut on a tariff offering 1,200 minutes and 500 texts.
Sally Cowdry, O2 UK marketing director, said: "The iPhone is already our fastest ever selling device and this added value will allow us to appeal to an even greater segment of the market - it is an unbeatable proposition."
Contracts for existing customers are to continue for their 18-month term, but there will be no compensation for the previous period offering fewer minutes and texts.
Apple compensated US owners with $100 (£50) vouchers after cutting $200 (£100) off the price of the eight-gigabyte version of the iPhone.

This is OLD news: article was posted on Jan. 30, and there are at least two threads already on it.
If your question is is it a better deal for UK iPhone users, then clearly it is.
What is your point? Are you comparing AT&T's package with that of 02, or the price of the handset; if the latter, then after taking into account sales tax and shipping, there isn't much in the difference, as far as I can see.

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhone NO

My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals. We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhones and it cuts in and out.. Drops from 3 wifi bars to 1

I am having the same problem with brand new Ipad Mini at my house.
It connects to the WiFi fine - but will not pull an IP address in DHCP mode, or if I set all the IP info statically - it still will not get any network access.
This doesn't look like a WiFi issue, as it does connect and is seen by the WiFi Access Point. All the normal WiFi fix stuff doesn't help.
- Using a Dlink DAP-2553 which is less than 2 months old.
Other devices connect fine, including Ipad 2.
This same Mini worked fine at another house and also connected to a mobile hotspot fine....so seems to be some weird IP issue with maybe this Access Point or maybe the older Router that I have (older Netgear)?
I am actually a network engineer and still have not been able to find a solution. Both the Ipad Mini and the Dlink WAP have the latest firmware loaded.
Wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem.

2010 iMac 2.93 i7 27" or 2011 2.8 i7 21.5" - which will suit better long-term? I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs?

I do a fair amount of audio, video editing and photoshop, but I have a limited budget. What's going to give the best bang-for-buck for the next 3-5 yrs? My current machine is a 13" Macbook unibody 2.4 Core 2 Duo w/ 4Gb Ram so it's time to move forward with more power and screen real estate!

Hello, Jeff
I could never edit on a 13" screen. I'm currently using a 17" MBP i7 Early 2011 as a fast replacement to my aged 20" Intel iMac.
Both systems are not that far apart on stats and you will find that processing HD video will rely highly on the read/write to your storage. Myself, I'd be eye balling the 2011 for the Thunderbolt port so HD Video export/compression doesn't take forever! Currently processing a finished HD project for DVD uses at most 20% of my total CPU capacity. The FW800 drive is the big bottleneck! (I know I need at least a RAID to see a real speed boost).
How good your eyes are and your usage style would dictate if the difference in screen size make a difference to you.

Is Apple going to address the issue with the IPhone 5 charger port?

Hi all
I have had an IPhone for about 4 years and have had my current iPhone 5 for just over a year,I never had any problems until recently. Just before Christmas I started having issues with my IPhone not charging, I bought a new charger and the problem continued so I went into the Apple store in Newcastle, they pulled some dust out of the charger port and the issue appeared to be resolved. However after Christmas it happened again, and again I went to the Apple store, they did the same thing and the phone worked fine for a month. However, this last week the problem has come back, this time when I took the phone into the store, they tried pulling dust out the port but the phone would still not charge, I was then told that as the phone is out of warranty there is nothing they can do other than charge me £209 to fix it!!
What concerns me is that after speaking to other iPhone users and doing some online research I have discovered this is a seriously common problem. So now through no fault of my own, I am left with a phone, which doesn't work and costs me £48 a month. Another concern is that I originally took the phone to the store with this problem before my warranty ran out and was given a 'temporary fix', which made the phone last untill just after my warranty has ran out!
I am angry and disappointed, this issue needs to be addressed as the Phones appear to be like a ticking time bomb waiting to break, and for those of you like me, who this happens to you after the warranty is up, you are elft with no solution other than to pay £209!!!!

Or talk to the store manager or Apple Customer Relations and explain that you brought the phone in twice before the warranthy expired for the same problem and that there was no permanent solution, though if clearing out the debris fixed it previously, it's perhaps unlikely that they'll think it a defect. You can try, though. Just complaining here will accomplish nothing since we're all fellow users in these forums.
Regards.

Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??

Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??
Message is working weird.
I don't have internet service when I'm away from my WiFi, because my phone won't use LTE now.
Should I wait for a IOS 8.3.1 update or reset my phone to factory and start over?
If there's a fix coming when will we see it?
(I'm using iPhone6 plus)
I've tried everything else to fix the problems I'm having. Soft restart. Hard restart. Used your chat line. Called Verizon. Reset network settings.... Help!!!!!
I've posted on the Apple Communities about all this and I've sent in a couple of bug reports.
I live up in the mountains and MUST be able to access my Verizon LTE for information if there is a fire! I'm in California!

I have a Verizon iPhone 6 and am having none of those problems.

Didn't they already have you do that? If you haven't, yes, you should restore your phone as new and test.

If you are in a situation where you may need emergency information, organizations such as the Red Cross recommend things like this:

What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Depends on the country.
Click Store at the top of this page and look the price up yourself.

HT201328 Is this the same with iphone 5?

Is this the same with iphone 5?

Is what the same? The procedure for unlocking from a cell carrier? If that's what you mean, the procedure has been the same since the iPhone was first released and still applies to the iPhone 5.

I need to update my apps in the App Store, but when i try to update, the Sign Up Apple ID pop up box came out with different Apple ID. How can I change it to mine? My iTunes Store already login with my own Apple ID.

Just now you said the other Apple ID stored inside it, is that mean all my data back up in that the other ID?

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

If I'm connected in wifi with my Macbook, can I share the internet with Iphone? Thanks

If you are asking about the Internet Sharing feature on the Mac, the answer would be that this option is not available for normal wireless, but it might work for BlueTooth. Might be worth a try that way.
However, if the Mac had an Ethernet Internet connection, then you could create your own "private" wireless network to allow wireless devices to connect.

Hey there keope5,
Depending on where you are editing the Contacts, the troubleshooting to be done can vary. If you are updating them at www.icloud.com or another device/computer and the edits arent being reflected on your iOS device, use the iOS troubleshooting in the following article on your phone:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
If you are using another iOS device, or a computer and the edits do NOT reflect at www.icloud.com, use the appropriate section for that device instead.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling
