Hi! Recently I wanted a gold iphone 5S. the only one available was the Verizon one. I paid the full price at the Apple store thinking that since I paid in full my phone will not be locked. The person at Apple who gave me the phone also said so. However now when I put my ATT sim, it does not work

Iphone changes .jpg filenames in email?

I had a bunch of pictures which I spent hours labeling by giving them filenames like mypic.jpg etc. I emailed them to my iphone. When I went into my inbox on my iphone 4S, I was horrified to see that all my pics had been renamed into some gibberish! Why did this happen? How can I get my original

Using the iphone email app: how do I mark an email as spam? I tried by 'moving' the email to the spam folder. The email goes into the spam folder but future emails from that spam address still come to my inbox. Is there something I should be doing to mark the email as spam? Thank you! -- You

Hawaii anyone?

I am planning a 6 week vacation in Hawaii starting mid September. Can you please suggest if it will be worth getting the Seeing Eye GPS App for the short period? I will have to pay the annual subscription, and since I am not resident in the US, I will only use the app in Hawaii. Is it worth it?

Have you used the Mophie Juice Pack Air phone case with battery for your 4S? It is supposed to almost double your iPhone talk time between charges. I am looking to get this so that I may last a whole day with my 4S. Any comments? Web reviews are very contradictory. Some swear by it and some call

The iphone has a native Camera app. I installed 1 Touch Camera. An app that takes pictures the moment you launch it. To my surprise the app is also labelled Camera. When I change its name to 1Touch Camera, then both apps are renamed! When I change the name of one app the other is automatically

More than 5 years back I got the KNFB Reader Mobile which worked wonderfully on my Nokia phone. It faultlessly and quickly read letter, bills, labels, signs and almost any text font that I could focus in my mobile camera! Technology has, it seems, frozen! 5 years later I can find nothing better!
