1 iPhone vs Android
I have been persuaded to leave
the Android smartphone world when I received a hand-me-down iPhone 4S at no
cost. Don't get me wrong. It was not my first time using Apple devices. I have
had iTouch, iPad, and iPods in the past.
At the time, I wasn't fascinated
with the cell phone solutions an iPhone gives, although I must admit
I loved playing with my other devices. I was biased; truth be told because I
didn't see any cell phone batteries. My biggest concern each time I buy a
device is how long wills each charging cycle last?
If there's one thing I am after,
it's being able to use my phone for all of its glory without having the need to
recharge every few hours or daily. Cellular providers make money out
of my call and messaging needs and if I'm already paying cell phone
companies too much, I'd better save some on my utility bill. My smartphone
never failed me on this and if it does, I know I can easily find a replacement.
I was also scared to buy an
iPhone then because it came with a hefty price and I wasn't sure if the battery
would serve my expectations. For some other reasons, I just didn't want to
pay extra for iPhone repair. Calgary Apple stores offer a warranty,
but I refused to take part in all those things.
2 How to Unlock a
Phone Manufactured by Apple
So the free iPhone came, but I
was still reluctant to use it. I was very satisfied with my Samsung phone and
used the white iPhone 4S for gaming. Sadly, my Android phone petered out on me
out of the blue. I went to a cell phone repair shop, and they said it
would cost me several hundred to salvage my phone. So I thought, I'd pass with
the repair and use the iPhone instead.
I tried my SIM card, only to find
out the device was locked to one of the Japanese cellular
providers I haven't heard before. Good thing I was still at
the phone repair shop and they gave me my options on how iPhone
unlock services go. They joked about me going to Japan to have the
Softbank restriction bypassed. I tried to smile but at the back of my head, I
knew I wouldn't go that far.
They offered a software unlocking
method that made me cringe - jailbreaking. I refused because I've heard people
debating whether it's legal or safe, and that I have another option - the Gevey
SIM. It was a hardware that consists of what looked like the iPhone's SIM card
slot, and the gold plate we can find on our SIMs. All right, we tried that.
After paying what I consider a
decent amount for the service, I was very pleased. Communication never felt
more sophisticated, complete, and as multi-faceted as with an iPhone - to think
I am just using a 4S. (Notice the verb tense. Yup, I still have it and it's as
sturdy as forever.)
