Reply to Some questions on iPhone as never had one. by Educatingthomas

  1. Yes after the 2 years is almost up you can call apple and switch it to a monthly plan and keep it for up to 5 years in total, this saves you a little money over starting with the monthly option but you have to remember to call before it expires. 1b. I think it is worth it if you are hard on phones or have a desire to go caseless. If you think there’s a shot you’ll break your screen more than once you will already be saving money. Additionally if you are likely to lose it or live in a place that you’re concerned about theft it is worth it to pay a little extra to get +theft and loss(assuming you live in the US as I believe that version is only available here in the states). You can potentially buy apple care as late as one day before the warranty expires but if you wait more than 60 days to get it you will have to bring it in to an Apple Store and have them inspect it before you can buy it. I also would not recommend this because coverage starts from the day you buy the phone not the day you buy apple care so the longer you wait to buy it the more you’re paying per day of usable coverage. Also the limited warranty doesn’t cover damage only manufacturer defect so the warranty is not that useful.
  2. I’ll choose not to speak on this as I have not personally used an android for nearly a decade but I will say that 90% of people that have made the switch are glad they did. You can use any common Bluetooth headphones with any iPhone, you will need a dongle for any non apple wired headphones.
  3. This is not as much of a concern for most folks as media has made it seem but since the huge media coverage battery replacements are relatively cheap (I think less than $100) but I do not know if this is reduced with apple care

Reply to comment by Margaretttt- in Unlocking Verizon iPhone by Margaretttt-

I wouldn't pay to have the phone unlocked. Like others have said Verizon will automatically remove the Carrier SIM lock 60 days after activation as long as the account is in good standing. If the orginal owner owes Verizon money for that phone they will blacklist it and you won't be able to use it on any US Carrier.

The best example is from :30 to :35 seconds into the video. I’m wondering if what he did there is possible once the video has been shot or did he film the same event 3 different times at each zoom

Reply to iPhone models with 1080 screen resolution by markaznar

The only ones that have technically 1080p resolution is the 6 plus, 6s plus, 7 plus, and 8 plus. All the others are either sub 1080p or higher than 1080p. The only 1080p iPhone still supported is the 8 plus which you would probably end up experiencing some issues due to the 5 year old A11 Bionic. It’s still good for day to day tasks and such, but even then it’s not the best or fastest. Graphics is definitely a sore spot in terms of that phone due to it being 5 years behind current GPU power in iPhones. It can be done theoretically but not sure how good the experience would be.
