    Carrier AT&T iPhone payoff question

    So I have the iPhone XS Max with AT&T, paying monthly for the phone (AT&T Next Every Year) plan. As of right now I owe $87.20 on the phone, then I can trade in and upgrade early.

    Carrier AT&T iPhone X and iPhone X Max on Verizon

    I’m currently with At&t and I’m thinking about switching to Verizon. I have an iPhone X max and my wife has an iPhone X. Both phones are paid off and I submitted the request to unlock them and att approved it. Will these phones work on Verizon?

    Most Futureproof Carrier for iPhone?

    Given the upcoming transition to 5G, which cell carrier is likely to be most futureproof for current iPhones, especially since Apple won’t be making the jump to 5G anytime soon? I’m currently on Verizon, but since they’re shutting down CDMA sometime in 2019, I wonder how seamless that will...

    AirPort Extreme routing speed reduced via AT&T Gigapower

    Hey Everyone— Got a weird one here. Back in mid-2017, we got the 1000Mbps x 1000Mbps AT&T GigaPower service. This has been routed (NAT, default host, DNS) via an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac base station, and has worked great. I've regularly speed-tested at >850Mbps both ways**. However, recently...

    Other eSIM Processor Overhead?

    I've seen a couple of posts wherein people have referred to a "chip" on the iPhone that stores eSIM information. Do we know whether there is any processor overhead associated with the use of an eSIM and the A12? If there is even a tiny, incremental overhead, or even a theoretical overhead, I...

    Cannot activate S4 on AT&T

    I was not planning on activating the cellular functionality but figured why not. Now it seems like AT&T does not know how to handle. I bought the extra line for it and did go through activating, but it didn't show up after a day. Then I chatted with someone and tried to activate it again, then...

    Don't see this covered anywhere else, so I will start it. AW cellular issues: I have ATT for my new AW SS4. So far, I am underwhelmed.

    AT&T - Apple Watch Series 4 Preorders

My first one was for the S0 42mm SS, which I got directly from Apple. I have to get the GPS + Cellular combo, since...

    I was at a local ATT store and wanted to upgrade my SE to the 128gb version (to keep almost all my iTunes on it). They said they have been having a hard time getting SE's in stock or ordered.

    Carrier Switching from Grandfathered to AT&T Unlimited Plus?

    I was considering finally giving up my grandfathered unlimited plan and switching to the newer AT&T Unlimited Plus. But the comparison feature on my account shows I'd pay MORE. Is that what I should expect?
