Will a Canadian iPhone 6 work in the UK?

I currently live in the UK though I'm a Canadian. I have been looking at upgrading to a new phone as I currently have an unlocked Canadian iPhone 4s that I brought to the UK with me. I was hoping to upgrade to the 6, and thought buying in Canada might be less expensive overall as I am going home for a visit in a few weeks. This being said, I have read a lot of reviews saying that the UK is not very LTE friendly and often doesn't even support the 4G from the iPhone, because they are on different networks or something…I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to get the phone in Canada as it would be cheaper, and I may end up back in Canada within the next two years, meaning it might be more ideal to have a Canadian phone anyway. I just wanted to know if there is any other information I should know before making this decision.
Thoughts?

I tried to understand that chart/table twice, and still don't fully understand how to decipher it really. It's a lot of jargon to me. This is what I've got from it so far….Can you let me know if I'm anywhere near the right track?
The Canadian LTE band compatible model (Model A1549) does not appear to be the same as the Model A1586 which appears to be the one that is compatible with UK bands. Does this mean that buying the A1549 would not work in the UK 4G bands and the A1586 would not work in Canada? There is a disclaimer on the A1586 however, saying that "Models A1586 and A1524 also support LTE networks listed for models A1549 and A1522." So it would be ideal to get the A1586 which should work on both sets of bands. Is this a correct assumption?
From what I found on this website. http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/ my carrier in the UK (Three), will work on the 800 MhZ, which is listed under both models. But I don't fully understand as I said earlier.
I understand that the warranty is not valid worldwide. This is not something that really worries me unless there are a considerable number of bugs within the iPhone 6. Is this the case? I have had my 4s for nearly 3 or 4 years now, and have not had to take it back for repairs or anything once. (knock on wood). I could likely easily send it to the apple store in canada for repairs and have my parents at home send it back to me in the UK when it was repaired.
I'm more concerned about whether it will work in both countries successfully to the best of its ability, or not.

  •  Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network?

     Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network? I know this question is probably premature, I don't think apple has mentioned anything about it yet, but I saw that past unlocked iPhones (4 and 4S) would not work on Verizon. I'm a Verizon customer and I want to keep my unlimited data plan, the only way to do this is buy a iPhone at retail, but from what I saw regarding the 4 and 4S I may not be able to do this. I did read that the iPhone 4S is being made in three distinctive models, 1 with a CDMA network and 2 others with varied GSM - LTE networks. I'm hoping this means that an unlocked iPhone 5S can now run on the Verizon network. Any ideas if I'm correct? Thanks. 

    Honestly I'm not convinced to jump to sprint so quickly. I am monitoring my data as it is, I'm a heavy data user as I watch a lot of movies from Netflix Hulu plus crackle etc. the flip side of this is that I do most of this on my iPad, which I have currently unlimited data on, so I can still get by without unlimited data on my cell, it's more of me not wanting to lose what I have. But thanks for all the info. I'm secretly hoping that apple has redone the unlocked iPhones but I wont lose any sleep over wishful thinking. I'm just quite anal I guess lol. Thanks again

  • Will a US Iphone 6 work in the UK

    guys,
    i am travelling to new york from england, in early november and would like to take advantage of the exchange rate by purchasing an iphone 6.
    i have checked the apple website, and noticed that they do an unlocked t mobile handset with a 16 gb memory for onlt $649
    i have checked out the LTE page on the apple website and it suggests that model no's AS1586 should work, however the forums are a little confusing.
    May i ask,
    will this phone work in the uk on a 3 network sim card that i already have ?
    would the purchase be subject to any tax ?
    would the us apple warranty be valid in the uk ?
    thanks for your time

    If you live in the UK, then it is ridiculous to even consider purchasing an iPhone in the US - you will end up not saving a lot and you also have a phone with no warranty cover for the UK and one that will not work on the UK 4G networks either. DON'T DO IT.  If you live in the UK and you want an iPhone 6, then buy the iPhone 6 in the UK directly from the Apple store and NOT in the US.
    The models are different between different countries and the US has networks that are not compatible, so yes, the phone will work, but not on 4G in the UK.  You will never be able to get that on a US purchased phone.
    Yes, the phone will be subject to US sales tax and perhaps local taxes for the State you are in.  You may also find that you have to pay import duty at the airport to bring the phone into the UK, so at the end of the day you will probably save no money at all buy purchasing the phone in the UK.
    No - iPhone warranty is NOT international so if you buy your phone in the US you will have no warranty cover for the UK - it would mean flying back to the US if you have a problem with your phone.
    The US T-Mobile phone is not an unlocked phone, but sim/contract free.  People have said that if you do not activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card, but use the sim card that you want to use, so a sim card from 3, then the phone will activate and remain unlocked, so don't activate with the T-Moible sim card, or the phone will lock to T-Mobile and you then need to contract them to get the phone unlocked - that is the difference between unlocked and sim/contract free.
    If you live in the UK and want an iPhone 6 then buy it from an Apple store in the UK and you can buy a phone that is unlocked, that you will have EU warranty cover for and will be fully compatible with the UK 4G networks.
    Can't really be clearer than that other than saying if you want to use the phone in the UK, then DO NOT buy it in the US.

  • Will an Att Iphone 5 work in the UK with a UK sim card

    Will an Att Iphone 5 with a UK sim card work in Scotland.
    I don't want to unlock or jailbreak my phone either.
    Thanks

    How do you "officially unlock" a phone.
    Does that change the warranty.
    Does unlocking change EVERYTHING like jailbreaking it does.
    Do I have to reload everything on my phone.

  • Will a Canadian iPhone 5s work in Hong Kong

    Hi,
    I just bought a new unlocked iphone 5s from apple store and i was wondering if it would work in hong kong. I am going down there for 6 months and i would like to use my phone down there...
    I don't care if LTE doesn't work as long as I can get internet on it and that i can use it to text and call people...

    Since it is an unlocked phone, it should work. Again, the warranty is only valid in Canada, and you understand it may not support all bands. Otherwise you should be alright. It is probably better to activate it in Canada before you leave.

  • My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

    my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

    I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
    It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

    Hello, no ice. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    As long as you purchase the GSM model and acquire a Nano-SIM card, you should be able to use your iPad abroad.  Here is some information about this process that you may find helpful.

  • If I block safari will find my iphone still work

    If I block safari app on iPhone 5c will FIND MY IPHONE Still work?

    Yes, blocking all data would prove to be a problem for Find My iPhone, and it would only work when connected to wi-fi. Also, you could not block other internet browsers, except you could block the installation of other apps. You could restrict Safari and the installation of apps, which would prevent using Safari and installating other web browsers, and that should still allow cellular data for Find My iPhone. You would also have to look at any other data using apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. that would user Internet if you were to see about not using Smart Limits. That is a hard call to make.

  • Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version?

    Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think, this question is a very good one.
    If I have a *.indb document created in CS6, populated with InDesign documents from CS6, what to do, if I want to migrate my workflow to the latest version of InDesign CC-2014?
    Short answer (avoiding trouble and headaches):
    1. Convert all your InDesign documents from CS6 to CC-2014 (*)
    2. Use NEW document file names for all your CC-2014 InDesign file types: *indd, *indt, *indl
    3. Build your *indb documents for CC-2014 anew.
    4. Use NEW document file names for CC-2014 InDesign file type: *indb
    But isn't that a tedious task to do?
    Yes. But fortunately there are some scripts around helping you with the conversion process.
    See Peter Kahrel's website. Especially:
    Free script Batch convert/export InDesign documents | Peter Kahrel
    There are others as well…

    *Before migration of the workflow batch export all InDesign CS6 documents to IDML and PDF.

  • Will an onboard garaphic card work with the lates version of photoshop or do I have to have a dedicated graphic card

    Will an onboard graphic card work with the lates version of photoshop or do I have to have a dedicated garphic card

    Most likely you should be fine.  Some of the early i7s might not support it (did the first i7 core have integrated GPU?), but any of the last couple are fine.  The nice thing is, that you can always add an aftermarket GPU if you need to, so give it a shot.
    I have a Haswell i7 (4770k) in my desktop PC, and it's more than enough.  I did a lot of research when I built my PC and my conclusion at the time was that a GPU doesn't offer a sizable performance boost unless you buy a really nice GPU ($400+).  The integrated GPU can run all the functions of CS6.
    My laptop is an older i5.  Not sure which, but I think Sandy Bridge.  I can notice the difference in process times between the integrated GPU and discrete (AMD).  But only on certain heavy filters and when working with big composites (~2 gb files).  But that's an i5 and and older one.  That said, the integrated GPU is far more stable, so I usually just put up the lag instead of having the AMD GPU crash my computer.

    Thanks

    HI Friend,
    Probably the problem it is because your iPhone 4 and your car have the same Bluetooth technology ( 2.1 ), but iPhone 5 has new Bluetooth technology ( 4.0 ).

    There is no iMac tower.  Your other iMac cannot be used as a monitor.  This is a feature that wasn't introduced until the more recent iMac models.
