gnoj Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I am not sure that I follow either of you. Neal indicated that the overseas variants that support band 38 TD-LTE 2600 could potentially be firmware updated to support band 41 TD-LTE 2600. But that would do nothing for Sprint... Hence why I said "This wouldn't help Sprint at all since A1530 lacks CDMA and LTE bands 25/26..." I just found it curious that Apple, who is making a point of how many LTE bands this phone supports, would leave one purposefully disabled if it is true that the hardware can support it. I am not aware of the conversation you had with Neal about this, so I can't comment on what Eric was referring to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatute Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I wouldn't see why they wouldn't. I would expect them to have all colors and sizes available on day one. I know they will have them online but if I were to go into a store on day, would they? 'Cause from past experiences the store has had the 16gb and the 32gb variants but not the 64gb. And I would end up waiting a few more days since they would need to have it shipped to the store from a warehouse or wherever it is they have them.

I'm sure some bigger stores have more in stock than others though. Sent from Josh's iPhone 5 using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacPCS Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I'd recommend going to an Apple store if you can. They always seem to have tons of all of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dave Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It all looks great. I would even consider switching from Android to iPhone for a year to play with it, but that little nagging issue of being dual band just negates everything for me.

Strongly consider jumping back to am android phone that supports band 41 just for that reason. Good job apple -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericdabbs Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just curious, do people still line up at Apple stores and ATT stores overnight just to buy the iPhone on launch day? If so, anyone of you guys planning to get the iPhone 5S planning to line up tomorrow night or Friday morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't even consider an iPhone even if it had the software to back it up simply because I can't go back to tiny 4 inch screens. If Apple made 2 editions of the iPhone that sported a 5 inch iPhone then it may tickle my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin_AZ Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I remember waiting in lines at 3am on Black Friday for door deals at certain stores. That was a long time ago. It's just not worth it anymore. I've been on Android forever, and I'm moving to the dark side Friday, if I can get hold of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting all night to get a good deal on surge protectors was not just not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket87 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 People that want 5s from sprint better line up. I've seen the order we will get tomorrow and saying the 5s will be limited is an understatment. Hopefully more will come in on Friday and Saturday Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotmeterf64 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'll be in front of my local Sprint store Friday morning. If it's crazy busy I will pick one up later. But I at least have to try to pick one up before work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, anyone of you guys planning to get the iPhone 5S planning to line up tomorrow night or Friday morning? Yes, and it'll likely be worse this time since there are no online pre-orders. It's going to be brutal I'd bet. Particularly if the reported inventory numbers are anywhere near accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Apple really screwed the pooch by not offering a pre order on the 5s. I don't get the point of waiting at the store with a bunch of people. With the preorder, I would get it on launch day just like the people in tents outside. So what if I don't get it at 8am. I'd get it around noon. This year, I'm guessing with an online order on Friday, I could probably have it early next week. Good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
