Unlock Phone Video

In previous years, when a new iPhone debuted it occupied the top spot in Apple’s lineup and knocked older generations down a single rung on the food chain. However, this time around, Apple opted to replace the devices holding the top two spots, dropping the iPhone 4S all the way down to a $0 price point, anddiscontinuing the 5 all together. As a result, Apple has a new phone at both the $199 and $99 price tiers, the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C, respectively. (All prices are with a 2-year wireless contract.)

Naturally, one might assume that, with Apple ghosting the iPhone 5, the handset will see great discounts from resellers. Yet this is not the tactic that the kindly folks atBest Buy and AT&T have taken. These two merchants have chosen to continue to offer the iPhone 5 for its full, pre-death price of $199.99, despite the fact that the newer 5S has already been announced at that price point. (Update: AT&T has since dropped the price to $99.99.) It’s possible that this price retention is related to the fact that the iPhone 5S will not be available for preorder; perhaps these stores figure that they can squeeze a couple more bucks out of those who just don’t follow tech news.

However, not only is the 5S technically a better value at $199, but also consider that the newly-announced iPhone 5C is a slight upgrade in hardware specs to the iPhone 5 as well — albeit with a candy-colored, plastic back rather than a slick metal-and-glass design — yet Apple only charges $99 for it. How can Best Buy and AT&T charge more for the iPhone 5, which is arguably an inferior device?

Conversely, other retailers have knocked the iPhone 5 to about $100, including Walmart (in-store), Verizon, and Sprint. This makes more sense, but is still curious given Apple’s portrayal of the $99 iPhone 5C as a replacement of the iPhone 5. Are these stores implying that the differences between the original iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5C are minimal enough to still demand the same price for the iPhone 5? Or do these retailers recognize that some people still want an “adult” color iPhone (read: Black) for $99, even if that means getting a technically older product?

Ultimately, we’re confused by Best Buy and AT&T’s pricing, which goes against trends for electronics across the board. So before you or someone you know ends up overpaying for “old and busted” technology, keep in mind that you shouldn’t pay more than $100 for the iPhone 5, and hopefully with time we’ll see even sharper cuts from resellers.

Method 1 with SAM App

There’s a different way to unlock 6.1.3 firmware using SAM tickets. You have to launch Cydia, find and install SAM.

Step 1. Open Cydia, go to Manage -> Sources -> Edit -> Add this repo:

http://repo.bingner.com

Step 2. After adding repo go to Search type SAM and install it.

Step 3. Now it’s time to revert Lockdown to stock. The technique is dependent on Lockdown files alternative towards the following location (you can use iFile for to get there):

/var/root/Library/Lockdown

This is the way your ticket files should be supported.

Step 4. Whenever you changed the folder, reboot Apple smartphone but make sure to do it with iBooty 2.3 or Redsn0w option Just Boot.

Step 5. Launch SAM and press Enable Reboot your device once more to determine the signal bars and discover that you’re now a lucky who owns an unlocked iOS 6.1.3. iPhone.

Method 2 With Cookie App

Step 1. After you jailbroke your device launch Cydia.

Step 2. Go to Search, find and install Cookie. This jailbreak tweak restores activation tickets from SAM unlock to the iPhone.

Step 3. After installing just go to the Home screen and you will see Cookie app so start it.

Step 4. Now just insert unsupported Sim card in iPhone and wait for 10-20 seconds.

Step 5. When the Restore Activation button becomes active click it and confirm Restore.

Step 6. After success restore just wait for the signal pops up on the status bar. It may take some while so be patient. Also to speed up the process you can try to make a call.

How to Unlock iOS 6.1.3 iPhone 4, 3GS Using SAM Tool

By Unknown 9:40 AM

Then came the day when hackers have come up with a method that can unlock any iPhone on iOS 6.1.3. Find out how to perform SAM unlock on iOS 6.1.3 iPhone after jailbreak with Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze.

This method is called “Subscriber Artificial Module” (SAM) and came up with his Chinese hacker Loktar Sun. It allows you to unlock iPhone 3S/4/4S with any versions of the modem. This method immediately was checked by MuscleNerd on iPhone 4S, and he confirmed that working.

However there are some minuses in SAM unlocking and I have to tell you about them:

1. Needs jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3. It can’t be done on 4S because 6.1.3 is unjailbreakable for this model. If you have iPhone 4 or 3GS, you can jailbreak 6.1.3 using Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze but only in tethered mode. Which means you will need always to connect your device to iTunes after iPhone discharging or rebooting.

2. No support for hot-swappable SIM (If you unlock your iPhone for T-Mobile, and then changed to another, you will have to repeat the procedure for the new Sim card).

3. If you don’t have activation tickets saved before Apple closed this exploits a year ago this method will never work for you. Also there is no way to get those tickets because it is unique activation files for every iPhone. If you didn’t save them in April 2012 forget about SAM.

So what to do next when there is no way back but you still need to unlock iPhone? The answer is quick and simple. You need others to make it for you.

There are a company that submits unlock requests directly to the carrier. Of course their service is not free but it is 100% the cheapest among other legit companies.

After factory unlock you will get the possibility to use any Sim card around the world and Switch them how you want and how you like. Also you will be able to enjoy any iOS update ion iTunes.

So if you sick an d tired of making the same procedure with SAM unlocking or iPhone 4S user who stuck on iOS 6.1.3 or the guy who hasn’t activation tickets you can go and order unlock for your iPhone and get it in few hrs or days depending on the carrier to which your iPhone is locked.

Next, you will find instructions that will help you unlock your iPhone but first let’s see what you will get with SAM unlocking tool:

does not cause a rapid discharge of the battery;

support for push-notifications after activation;

support for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 with modems 04.12.05, 05.16.08.

Also you must know the mobile operator to which your iPhone is locked. if you don’t know this you can use iPhone carrier checker, fast and cheap.

Here below you will find two methods to unlock iPhone with SAM. One with SAM app and the second with cookie app. If the first won’t work try the second.

Multiple sources have informed BGR that AT&T has blacked out vacation days for the second half of September in preparation for the iPhone 5S launch date. This has taken place every single year starting with the first iPhone launch, and it limits AT&T employee vacations and time off. We were also told that AT&T will not be launching any other high-profile devices during the second half of September, again confirming that this time period is for the upcoming iPhones. An earlier report noted that T-Mobile has issued a vacation blackout for September 20th through the 22nd, and coupled with an almost-confirmed September 10th announcement event, it sure looks like September 20th is a go for launch in the U.S. and other countries.

The iPhone 5S is reportedly physically similar to the iPhone 5, and has internal enhancement and upgrades such as a faster processor, more memory, a better camera and a fingerprint sensor. The iPhone 5C should use most of the iPhone 5 components, except it will repackage them in a plastic case that will be available in multiple bright colors and for a lower price thanApple’s current phones.

We have reached out to AT&T for comment but have not yet heard back.

iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C launch date seemingly confirmed by AT&T vacation blackout

By Unknown 8:09 AM

We’re getting very close to the launch of Apple’s new iPhones. AppleInsider has obtained a leaked a document showing that Apple is barring its support staff from going on vacation between September 15th and September 28th so it can have all hands on deck to handle support for both of the company’s new iPhone models and for the final version of iOS 7. There has been a lot of evidence to suggest that Apple plans to release both the iPhone 5S and the lower-cost iPhone 5C on September 20th, including a BGR exclusive report on AT&T blacking out vacation days for employees on September 20th.

Apple is expected to officially unveil its next generation of iPhone models at a September 10th press event where it will show off both the iPhone 5S and the 5C. The iPhone 5S is expected to have a faster processor, an upgraded camera with a dual-LED flash and an embedded fingerprint scanner that will be used to identify and authenticate users. The 5S will also be the first iPhone model to come in a champagne gold color instead of just the traditional black and white.

The iPhone 5C, meanwhile, will be targeted more toward emerging markets and will be the same size as the iPhone 5S but will be made with a lower-cost plastic shell instead of the 5S’s aluminum body. The iPhone 5C will come in a multitude of colors and will likely be priced in the $400 to $500 range off contract. The device is being geared toward consumers in emerging markets and especially in China, where Apple will likely sell it through China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile carrier.

Apple issues vacation blackout from September 15th-28th for new iPhone launch

By Unknown 8:08 AM

As next week's Apple iPhone event draws nearer, new images of what is rumoured to be the iPhone 5C - boxed up and ready to be shipped - have been leaked online.

The photos, released by Chinese site iapps.im, show rows of the phones, with what is thought to be plastic casing, in pastel blue, pale yellow and powder pink.

Apple is rumoured to be releasing the iPhone 5C as a cheaper alternative to its upcoming iPhone 5S model at an event on 10 September.

As Apple's rumoured iPhone event looms on the 10 September, new photos have been leaked that claim to show blue, yellow and pink iPhone C's boxed up ready to be shipped, pictured. Apple is rumoured to be releasing the iPhone C as a cheaper alternative to its upcoming iPhone 5S model

The photos have since been removed by the Chinese site on the request of a 'relevant party', according to reports from Engadget.

In the images, each of the phones are also shown with a wallpaper in a corresponding colour.

Rumours around Apple potentially launching two new handsets at an Autumn event surfaced in June.

They claimed that the California-based company wanted to launch a low-cost version of its iPhone 5 handset to compete with rivals Samsung.

It will be the first time in Apple's iPhone history that the company has unveiled two handsets in the same month.

It was originally dubbed iPhone Mini, then iPhone Lite, and then leaked pictures from WeiPhone showing plastic cases suggest it could be called the iPhone 5C - with the C standing for colour.

The cheaper handset is expected to be made of plastic to keep costs down and may be sold in a range of colours including white, black, pink and blue.

According to analyst Brian White from Topeka Capital Markets, the iPhone Mini could be made of plastic and could cost as little as £63 ($99).

Other prices put it much higher at £260 ($400) and it is likely to be closer in price to Apple's iPhone 4.

Apple does not comment on future products before its launch events.

Mark Gurman, a journalist for Apple fan site 9to5Mac wrote: 'Because of the uncertain track record of the source of the image and the image’s overall low quality, it is difficult to judge if the images are legitimate.'

He continues that they do, however, mirror the technique of matching a wallpaper to the outer casing as seen in 2012 during Apple's release of the iPod nano.

Other leaked images of the phone have shown the case in dark red, blue and green.

If the iPhone C follows suit with the iPod nano design, it may be released in red, pink, yellow, blue, green, black and grey as well as white.

The cheaper iPhone will be an entry-level device to go with the high-end iPhone 5S, which is expected to come in gold, black and white, have a fingerprint scanner, dual-flash camera to improve the quality of photos, and a faster processor.

Rumours claim Apple's event will take place on the 10 September and the phones will be on sale around 10 days later, as has been the case in previous years.

Any devices launched will run Apple's latest iOS 7 software and U.S. models may also feature the new iTunes Radio.
