OK... for years I'm used to the sheer amount of attempts to find open ports on my IP address by Chinese bots/hackers each hour. But today I saw something new in the firewall reports from my network. For some odd reason the HomePod mini's try to connect to a China Telecom CDN (datacenter). Why...

Hi all, So, with the launch of the iPhone 15, I am considering to buy the iPhone 15 Pro. I live in an Asian country (Sri Lanka) and comparing the prices from each country to buy the phone, I am stuck with the below 03 options. I want to know, what are the differences in the models/versions? Can...

I bought iphone 5s(ios12) in aliexpress. I thought that has global rom. but I think that iphone has china rom. because that iphone shows wlan instead of wifi. Can that iphone change china rom to global rom?

Hi everyone, I just arrived in China for studies. I know there are network restrictions, where some websites are accessible and other aren't, for various reasons. But what bugs me is that sometimes, pages load only partially. For instance, when I open a MacRumors' article and I want to...

I'm looking at purchasing a U2 iPod off eBay. The model number and serial number printed on the back and box are all legit. However, I am concerned with the regulatory markings on the back – I have never seen them in another language before, and it says "MP3" in English. Was this standard for...

Hi, I ordered a custom Macbook pro a couple weeks ago and according to Apple it should be coming tomorrow on Friday. I live on the UK and so far the journey this Macbook has taken seems to make no sense to me. 15/07/2020 - 13:49 Incheon, Korea, Republic of Your package is in transit. We're...

Hey, this is my first post on the site, nice to meet you all. Please help me determine if I can upgrade my OS, to what level I should, and if doing so will fix my problem. I got an excellent macbook pro 8 years ago, but that was 8 years ago. Originally it had 10.9 Mavericks on it and it was...

Hello, I recently moved to China from Germany and bought the new iPhone 11 Pro Max here. Now I had to find out the hard way, that FaceTime Audio is not working on Chinese iPhones. Thankfully I don't have to use it exclusively, but I do want to have access to it, especially when I want to call...

I have a UK iPhone 7 with a UK SIM. If I take that phone to China, and launch the App store, will I be stuck in the UK region or will I see the app store the locals see. The reason I ask is because a couple of apps useful in China (e.g. Didi Chuxing - the Chinse Uber analogue) aren't actually...

I think it is with china patent problem in it. "Not all carriers support Apple SIM and eSIM. See your carrier for details. Not available in China." What do you think?

Since a week or so there are two Chinese apps on my phone that no longer update, nor are they still available in the Dutch App Store. One of the apps is Didi (Chinese Uber). The apps are still updated in the Chinese App Store and my iPhone is telling me to switch to the US App Store, cause they...

From Europe I'm used to overly full Apple stores. Clients filling the venues like Apple just announced new iPhones Xs with 60 % reduced price tag. In China I see a different picture: this is how the big Apple Store on Huaihai Rd in Shanghai looks like this, most of the time. One picture taken...

Has anyone purchased (physically) from China a new iPhone? Is it really worth it?

Interesting read, and total BS move by Apple. Funny how they are the champions of privacy when it comes to US law enforcement agencies wanting them to unlock domestic terrorism suspects iPhones, but when their massive financial investments in China are concerned, they are more than happy to turn...

Asking here incase anyone else has come across this, just updated to PB2 and my News feed is now displaying "News isn't supported in your current region". I use a VPN, no problems before, still no problems accessing Google/YouTube so it's not the VPN. Have tried HK/US/CAN and still no joy, and...

If I buy an iPhone in China, will the set up be different? I have read in various sites about people complaining that their iPhone is in Chinese. I thought you are to choose your language of choice during setup. Another thing is that if I buy this iPhone in China and I set it up using English...

I work in a company that offers VPN access to customers. I work on the iOS app development division as the lead developer. The company have an app that provides VPN access to customers and are interested in this app being searchable. in most countries search results for VPN term seems to be...

From looking at the iPhone 7 LTE band support, only the CDMA versions (Verizon and Sprint) of the iPhone 7 will have LTE support in China and Hong Kong. The CDMA version adds TD-SCDMA 1900 and 2000 bands. Only more reason to pick up the CDMA model over the GSM only one.
