Apple iPhone 5 (CDMA / global)

For sure iOS8 is available for the iPad2. I really didn't think it would still be getting the love from Apple.

What has happened to you, Sprint? Once upon a time, you had the best prices in the industry. Nobody minded much that your network was slow or that most of your coverage was roaming. Your "new network" was merely a belated rollout of 4G.

160 bucks per month for four lines with one gig of data - really? You have rocks in your collective head if you think the wireless masses will migrate to you. Verizon is way better and T-Mobile is way cheaper. Get a clue!

mine always says. "We're Sorry try back later" ? anyone else getting this at apple support site?

Yeah - don't even open your mouth. Don't rebuttal - you have nothing.

Android in it's early generations was JUNK - with a capital "J".


Wow, Apple actually admitted to a defect and is willing to fix it - such a controversy. Seriously, find a bridge with no water underneath it.

i bought a used galaxy s3 on ebay hoping i can use it on freedompop. it said phone not supported.

Apple builds the best products. They don't malfunction. If anybody has a problem with the power button they are probably holding it wrong. If you hold an Android phone that way the power button stops working too.

The apple store used to always blame that on the case. If you had any case on it that wasn't sold by apple then it was the cases fault and they wouldn't do anything to help you.

Their track record for quality? Terrible.

Can learn something from apple

Took them long enough!

Wonder if will work on LTE.

Yuck! Why would I ever want to integrate my vehicle with Apple Maps. Google Maps integration is the only thing that even makes sense. You can take your proprietary crap and shove it Apple. So, can any auto manufacturers who wants to shove this crap down my throat. Support an open platform that allows me to bring a device of my choosing or lose my business, plain and simple.

I don't get why Car manufactures want to tie their cars infotainment center to one mobile OS, because cars last 20+ years. In 20 years that infotainment center could be useless because iOS is dead, or iOS has change so much it can't or wont support it. Heck even in 10 or 5 years from know that field could be completely different and then the infotainment center is dead. Why not develop a open standard infotainment center that works with all phones?

For example, develop their infotainment center to work with all phones, via bluetooth because that's one things all phones have from feature phones all the way to high end smartphones. Then add features to work with smartphones via an app that people can download and then release the app on ...

In other words, this is a feature to consistently integrate the iPhone with various infotainment systems instead of each manufacturer taking bits and pieces of iOS navigation and trying to work it into the universally terrible in-car infotainment systems.

If you want to know why not Android, it's because Google hasn't developed it yet (also because manufacturers are probably lobbying for their own integrated feature set. Looking at you, Samsung.)

If you want to know why so many automakers would focus on implementing this, well, it's not exactly rocket surgery.

Nokia Lumia 920, 1020, 1520 or even the new tablet the Nokia Lumia 2520 all have Office preloaded.

Or if you want a true iPad killer the Dell Venue 8 Pro is an 8" tablet that runs full Windows 8, meaning you can install any desktop, laptop app and you are not stuck just to the app store. Plus it comes with Microsoft Office preloaded for $299.

I feel like this would annoy people in the apple store that have it on. Walk by a phone, get a message asking if you want to upgrade. Walk by an ipad, get a message asking if you want to buy an ipad. Walk by a Mac, get a message asking if you want to buy a mac. Usually customers can find a checkout on their own. I'm curious to see if this will be anything that actually improves a shopping experience.

Meh. Bring it to stores other than your own and then I'll care. As it stands, this is just another manifestation of society's most popular form of self gratification. 😈
