Will there be an iPhone minus the phone part?

I don't want the phone feature, just the other features and widescreen/touchscreen, etc.

You're right... my apologies.
Yes, Apple plans on creating a new iPod without the phone features. The newly planned iPod, secretly codenamed the CuisinartPod by Apple, will will also serve as a food processor, with interchangable blades for convenient chopping and mincing. This new iPod will also be dishwasher safe.

IPhone minus the phone

Is there a way to use the features of the iPhone without the phone. I say this (and it may sound crazy) because ATT is not in my area, but I would like a nice PDA that works well with my mac. I would like to someday use it as a phone, but for now I can't. With the recent price drop a PDA/ipod for $400 doesn't sound too bad.

THe most recent updates of iTunes 7.4.1 (2) do INDEED brick your phone if you have hacks on them, resulting in an endless loop that can't be restored.
Still haven't heard of anyone who was permanently bricked from this. Some confusion for a day while it was sorted out, is all.
Apple has shown now several times that they can quickly and easily rewrite code to assure that you do not add hacks nor use them on your iPhone.
And vice versa from third parties
It's ironic that Apple used to call cell carriers control freaks.
Informal surveys show that half of users savvy enough to hang around iPhone forums have modified their phones. Customization and applications are desired features, and available on every other smartphone. This is not the far simpler iPod market that Apple treats it as.
Attempting to stop unlock attempts is Apple's perogative. Trying to stop all modifications, especially after leading people on for six months about hopes for native development, is yet another bad PR move... and ultimately futile.
However, I agree that this is not the right forum to promote such mods.

IPod touch... iPhone minus the phone??

Hello all,
Is the iPhone Touch everything the iPhone is without the phone? What can the Touch do the iPhone can't do? What can the iPhone do the the iPhone can't do?
-Apple //GS

The iPod Touch might also have Bluetooth, but if so, it is not enabled.
iFixit's iPod Touch Disassembly page:
2007-09-22 12:20:40
We did not find the CSR Bluetooth chip that the iPhone has. However, there are several Apple->branded chips that we didn't identify, so we cannot completely rule out the presence of a Bluetooth chip.
From what we are told, a Bluetooth antenna (if it existed) could be integrated into a PCB like this >one, making identification difficult. The 'RF1UB' marking on the back of the board indicates that it's >been designed for RF, and probably tested at frequency. So, while we don't see evidence of a Bluetooth antenna, we cannot rule out its existence.
To make it perfectly clear: We cannot confirm nor deny the presence of Bluetooth in this device.

Using i phone without the the phone part.

I was thinking of getting an itouch, then I thought maybe I should just get the iphone, since one of these day I'll change my carrier, but till then can I still get the iphone and use all it's apps minus the phone part?

Until the phone is activated, none of the features will work. If you're not ready to change carriers, buy a Touch instead. It will fit your needs better and will be cheaper.
To buy the iPhone, you would pay $199 (phone), $36 activation fee, a minimum of $70+tax for service, $175 early termination fee after 30 days to deactivate the phone.

HT203977 is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.

If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?

Lost my iphone ios 7.2.0 with a pass code an iCloud activate the thing is who ever finds my phone puts it on DFU mode and restore it I'm aware he can do that but can't use it without my iCloud will I be able to track the phone if connected to wifi

Lost my phone it had ios 7.2.0 with pass code and I cloud I'm aware it can be restore on DFU mode but can't use it if they don't have the iCloud user if and password the phones linked with. Question is in this process if the person connects it to his or her wifi to setup up the phone will I be able to track the phone after the restore ? Even though he can't use it because he has no Id no password

You can do nothing if it's not online. With a passcode and iOS 7.1 (there is no 7.2) the device is uselss because it cannot be erased except by you.

There is a problem with the phone app. When I want to call somebody the phone screen come too late. This will cause a problem if I call the wrong number

There is a problem with the phone app. When I want to call somebody the phone screen come too late. This will cause a problem if I call the wrong number. Apple please please please fix it as soon as possible and also check why the phone is always restart. I prefer to let us use the iOS 7 until you finished from the IOS 8 because Ios 8 still under construction there is a tones problems in the system. And this Will cause undirect problem for the iPhone 6

There is no apple here in this user to user technical forum.
Do this Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

If I go to a Verizon store tomorrow, Tuesday September 23, will there be any iPhone 6's available? I do not want the iPhone 6+, just the regular iPhone 6. I am looking to buy the 64 gb silver version, but will buy the 128 gb version if needed.

If I purchase an Iphone 5s factory unlocked in the US from the Apple store and bring it to India, will I be able to purchase a global warranty? If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?

No, as there is no such thing for an iPhone.

Nope. You'll only be able to get the phone serviced in the US...no one will touch it in India.

How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them.

Thanks. This seems to have worked easily.

Why, in ios7 on my iphone 5, will podcasts no longer download to the phone when I sync it?

I entirely stopped listening to podcasts for months because I was so frustrated by this whole situation. When I sync the phone, everything looks like it's transferring the podcasts I want to the phone's harddrive, but then when I go to the phone and try to play them...they have that (super-irritating to me now) cloud icon next to them and won't play (since I turned off cell data for the podcast app). Is there some setting I've somehow messed up to cause this? Can I turn off cloud involvement? I really don't care to see podcasts listed that aren't actually stored on my phone and this is infuriating.
Please help!
Thanks.

I think you may be having the same issue I am. It appears that the podcast app's directory is faulty, and cannot access the podcasts even though they've been physically moved to your iPhone (from iTunes).
You can test this theory by going into iTunes (on your Mac), click on your iPhone name (the phone must be connected), then look under the "Podcasts" tab When you click on the podcast title/folder, you'll see several individual podcasts with their names greyed out. I'm working hard & searching these discussions to figure out how to fix this.

I have a similar problem. I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS. After completing the process the phone never restarted. The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon. I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone. The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads. iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does. I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery. This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help. A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged. She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on. I don't think it is a battery issue. The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone. Repairing it was out of the question. At this point the phone is completely useless. Thanks in advance for the help.
