Supposedly the XR will not be available factory unlocked right away, not sure
why. I'm not planning on upgrading this year but if I was the XR would be the
phone I would get although I would wait until it was available unlocked, I
don't want any phone that is tied to a carrier.

For what it's worth, a friend of mine has also experienced this issue
with an iphone 7, because of this issue and the fact that nearby

I doubt this will make a big difference, many carriers have not even gone to

This is why I always suggest buying an iphone directly from Apple and choosing
the sim free option, this way it is unlocked right out of the box.

This depends on whether the iphone is locked to a particular carrier,
supposedly Apple has been moving away from locking their phones. If the phone
is not sim locked to a particular carrier than yes, inserting the new sim
should be all that is needed.

I think all of the newer models do have CDMA, but that technology is a dying
breed anyway. Verizon plans to shut there's down at the end of this year and
now that t-mobile has purchased Sprint, they will probably shut Sprint's
network down at some point.

I just replaced my thermostat, the main reason was that I did not have the

Irobot has really fallen behind with the Roomba compared to other

The app for Roomba is very accessible, but it's definitely not the best brand
to get, you would have been much better off going with a Roborock, their
navigation and cleaning are far better than what Roomba has to offer.

Every robot vacuum that is currently available has drop sensors to prevent
falling down stairs so this should not be an issue, I would definitely go for a

Nearby Explorer was definitely the best GPS app for getting location
