    Carrier What AT&T information will I need to pre-order an iPhone 7 on the Upgrade Program?

    Specifically, I'm on an AT&T mobile share plan and I'm not the primary account holder. Will I need the primary account holder's AT&T username/password/passcode/social in order to buy a phone through the iPhone Upgrade Program as a first time enrollee? I understand a credit check will be run and...

    2012 MBP 13" 2.5 logic board failure - upgrade?

    I'm 99% sure the logic board failed on my MBP. I'm fairly adept at this stuff but I'm still going to have it diagnosed. Does anyone know if you can put the motherboard from the 2012 13" i7 2.9 GHz in it? They are priced the same, and a little performance boost would be awesome. Edit: I'm 99%...

    iPhone 7 Pre-order & Trade Up

    I am wondering what the process it for pre-ordering and trading up at the same time. Can I trade-up and get the credit immediately online? It looked like the website said I'd have to go into a store to get a credit towards my upgrade immediately but I am worried that they'll take my phone on...

    Carrier Upgrade Yearly. Leaving Sprint. Company Paid. Where To Go?

    I am done with Sprint. My company pays my monthly bill regardless of carrier. I prefer to keep everything under this bill instead of the Apple program. It is vital that I have good coverage and the latest iPhone. Not just where I live, but where I travel. Verizon appears to be my best bet. I...

    Hi everybody. G4 rebuild fun

    I found a QS G4 box out on the curb getting rained on. It was missing a HDD and the optical drive was busted. It was crazy dirty on the inside lol. Luckily I had a buncha old IDE stuff so I cleaned out the tower, replaced the missing bits, and it booted right up sans OSX. A quick 10.4.11 install...

    Apple Upgrade program: is it worth it?

    What's the catch? Apple makes it sound like you pay a monthly fee, say around $40 for 12 months and then you get a new iPhone each year. Is it better than selling it on Craigslist when the new iPhone launches? Link is here: http://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program

    iPhone Upgrade Program Question

    Question for the Apple Fan(s) on the iPhone Upgrade Program. I'm 19 and haven't really established my credit that much. I've been hearing that when I come to upgrade my phone they are going to create another loan and cancel my old loan w/ trade-in. Is it possible to not qualify the second time...

    i7 upgrade for 2015 13" MacBook Air

    I'm getting the 2015 13" MacBook with 8GB RAM, 128 GB storage. But I'm still not sure whether I should get the i5 (1,6 GHz) or the i7 (2,2 GHz) processor. 99% of the time, I will use it for browsing the Internet, doing school stuff (Pages and Keynote) watching movies, so I think the i5 would...

    MacBook Pro 2,2 SSD?

    So I want to grab a SSD for my MBP, but I am not to sure which to get. I know that any SSD will work but is getting a Samsung EVO 850 worth it compared to a Crucial MX100. I say this because my MBP is limited to Sata I which is 1.5gbps. Would it make any difference if I grabbed a Crucial SSD...

    Software Upgrade for a Never-Upgraded MBP 2010 13"

    I've never intentionally upgraded by MBP 2010 13" out of fear that it would slow down/melt/explode with fancy new software on old hardware. It has been running amazingly well for 6 years now, but I'm now running into the problem that some programs (Spotify, Adobe Illustrator) won't work because...

    iPhone 6 -> iPhone SE?

    Hi guys, I am just looking for feedback on what I should do for my next iPhone. I currently have an iPhone 6 64GB Space Grey with AT&T. I have quite a few cases for it, so a jump to a 6s would make sense in that aspect. My biggest grip with the 6 has been the frustration with screen...

    Timing

    What time would be the "sweet spot" to sell my current Apple Watch Sport if I want to avoid people rather wanting the new model? Also, what price would be reasonable after a years use (the cheapest Sports-model) ? I live in France, btw, so the purchase prices are higher than the US. Thank you :)
