iCloud Activation Lock Removal

iCloud Activation Lock Removal


Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock that is designed to prevent anyone else from using an iPhone or iPad if it's ever lost or stolen. Activation Lock is enabled automatically when you turn on Find My iPhone on a device using iOS 7 or later.

However, this also means an innocent consumer may have acquired one and are stuck with a device you cannot use and unable to contact the original owner - we can help you resolve this issue.
The Activation Lock is permanently removed and the device removed from the previous owner's iCloud account - seemlessly and quickly.
  • Remove device from previous owner's iCloud account permanently
  • Enables you to activate an iPhone where you have forgotten the password
  • This is not a sim unlock! - your iPhone will still be locked to the original network (if any)
  • If your iPhone is stuck on any of the screens below - you need this service

What We Expect

What We Expect


Apple's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, released in September, have only been available just over six months, but rumors about the next-generation iPhone are already trickling in. It's likely Apple will continue its 2014 trend, offering the 2015 iPhone in two separate sizes -- one larger and one smaller.
It's not clear what Apple will call its 2015 iPhones, but Apple may stick to its long running "S" naming scheme (which has been around since 2009), calling the new phones the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. iPhone 6s Plus is a mouthful though, so it is possible that this might be the year that we get a new naming format. One analyst believes Apple might call its next-generation phone the "iPhone 7" due to the significance of the new changes being implemented, but it's far too early in development to know for sure.
As the months pass by, details about the next-generation iPhone have begun trickling in. Because it's an "S" year upgrade and because the iPhone was just redesigned, the next-generation version will focus on internal improvements rather than an updated external look. Screen sizes will remain at 4.7 and 5.5 inches, and Apple is not expected to introduce a new 4-inch model.
There may be a few exterior changes, though. There's been a rumor that Apple could add a new color option to its iPhone lineup in 2015 -- pink. We've also seen two rumors suggesting Apple might opt to use the same 7000 series aluminum used in the Apple Watch in the next-generation iPhone. The aluminum is 60% stronger than standard aluminum but still lightweight.

In the past, "S" upgrades have brought features like Siri, Touch ID, new processors, and camera improvements, and we can expect to see many of the same updates with the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. According to rumors, the new devices will gain a faster A9 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel camera with 4K video recording, an additional microphone to enhance voice quality, and potentially a new internal mechanical design to address some bending issues users experienced with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
The 2015 iPhones are also expected to gain the Force Touch feature first introduced with the Apple Watch, allowing for new gestures that incorporate pressure sensitivity, and improved Touch ID to make fingerprint recognition faster. A report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also suggested Apple may use sapphire in a limited number of iPhone 6s Plus units, "if drop test issues can be resolved."
According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the addition of Force Touch and 7000 series aluminum could slightly change the thickness and the dimensions of the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. He believes the iPhones may be wider and taller by about 0.15mm to account for the aluminum, and 0.2mm thicker due to Force Touch. Kuo's prediction is supported by leaked schematics said to be for the iPhone 6s. Those height and thickness increases, if included, will be minor enough to be nearly undetectable to most iPhone users.
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will also continue to offer features that have become integral to the iPhone, including NFC for Apple Pay, 802.11ac Wi-Fi capabilities, and LTE Advanced. The two new phones will likely be available in the same 16, 64, and 128GB storage options as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Though it's an "S" upgrade year, Apple has asked its suppliers to produce a record-breaking 85 to 90 million units of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus combined by the end of the year. The high number of orders suggests Apple is expecting significant demand for the two devices and hoping to avoid supply shortages, but the addition of Force Touch may impact initial production numbers.
Apple is likely to release the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in the fall of 2015.

Apple and Nike Settle FuelBand Class Action Lawsuit

Apple and Nike Settle FuelBand Class Action Lawsuit


Apple and Nike settled a two-year-old class action lawsuit that challenged their advertising claims regarding the Nike+ FuelBand. The lawsuit alleged that Nike and Apple made misleading statements about the FuelBand's ability to accurately track steps, calories and NikeFuel.

Under the settlement, customers who purchased a FuelBand between January 19, 2012 and June 17, 2015 can make a claim for either a $15 payment or $25 gift card redeemable at Nike-owned stores in the United States and Puerto Rico or at Nike's online shop. The number of claims that a customer may submit depends on the number of FuelBands they purchased. Claims can be submitted until January 4, 2016.

While Apple was included in the class action lawsuit, Nike will be paying the settlement administrator and attorney's fees on its own and Apple has no responsibility for payments or gift cards.

Apple stopped selling the Nike+ FuelBand and other fitness trackers in both its retail and online stores this past March, while a report last year indicated that Nike would discontinue making new FuelBands to focus on software for other devices.

Customers who bought a Nike+ FuelBand between January 19, 2012 and June 17, 2015 can find out more about the settlement via the legal notice authorized by the California state court.

If you're shopping for a new smartphone, there's a good chance that the Samsung Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6 will be high on your list (and this year that also includes the curved Galaxy S6 edge). Let's go hands-on to compare the latest Galaxy and iPhone flagships.
Before we jump in, note that the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are almost exactly the same phone. Unless we say otherwise, when we talk about the Galaxy S6, we're including the Edge in that too.
In past years, the iPhone vs. Galaxy decision came down to modern-sized screen, plastic build and lots of ad-friendly features you'll probably never use (Galaxy) vs. premium build, more streamlined software and tiny screen (iPhone). But with these latest versions, both companies addressed their biggest weaknesses, leaving you with a very different decision.
So this year we have three premium phones, with fairly comparable software and no shrimpy screens in sight.


The iPhone has a beautiful aluminum unibody build with rounded edges. It's classic Apple design, including the company's trademark lightness and thinness.
If there's something that Apple does well, though, there's a good chance Samsung is running the same race, trying to get every edge it can – so it shouldn't be surprising that the Galaxy flagships are very light and thin as well. The Galaxy S6 is just 7 percent heavier, and the Galaxy S6 edge a mere 2 percent heavier, than the iPhone 6.
When you factor in the Galaxy's larger size, it has the relative weight advantage.


Thickness is nearly the same, with the Galaxy S6 coming out 1 percent thinner and the Edge 1 percent thicker than the iPhone 6. All three phones get an A+ for slim and sexy.
Speaking of sexy, the Galaxy S6 takes a huge leap forward from cheap-feeling plastic to high-end glass and aluminum. If you're brave enough to use the GS6 without a case, then you'll look forward to grasping its Gorilla Glass 4 back in your hand. It feels smooth.


The Galaxy S6 edge is especially sharp-looking, with its screen sloping off into those curved edges. We don't see this dual-curve screen as much more than a cosmetic perk, but it does look better than its flat-screened sibling.


Though the iPhone 6 has a much bigger screen than any pre-2014 iPhone, it's still 15 percent smaller than the Galaxy S6's display. Both Galaxy and iPhone sit in a comfortable screen size range: big enough to be pretty immersive, but not so big they feel like slabs of ceramic tile in your hand.
That extra real estate on the GS6 and GS6 edge, though, is still noticeable – and welcome.


Overall screen quality is outstanding on all three phones, with great colors, contrast and brightness across the board. The biggest difference is pixel density, where the Galaxy S6 comes out 77 percent sharper than the iPhone.
If you look at the iPhone's screen by itself, it looks plenty sharp. It's only when you put it next to a Quad HD handset, like the Galaxy S6, when you'll realize it could look much crisper.


Though last year's Samsung Galaxy flagships had fingerprint sensors in their home buttons, that was still a big advantage for Apple, as you had to swipe your finger across Samsung's.
This year, though, the Galaxy S6 matches the iPhone with an excellent touch-based fingerprint sensor. Like with the iPhone, you just rest your finger on the button for a brief moment (from any angle), and the gatekeeper will let you in.


Apple's Touch ID still has a big advantage, though, in app support for the fingerprint sensor. There are some big-name apps that use Touch ID, including 1Password, Dashlane, Evernote and Dropbox. You can also use Touch ID in app extensions – for filling passwords in Safari and the like.
Samsung's sensor lets you fill passwords in Samsung's stock browser, but that's about it. Third-party app support is, at the moment, minimal.


Apple's and Samsung's flagships typically have some of the best smartphone cameras around, and this year is no exception. A year ago, one of the iPhone 5s' big advantages over the Galaxy S5 was how much faster you could launch its camera. This year those tables have turned, though, with Samsung's camera launching ridiculously fast – and with a shortcut that makes so much sense we're surprised other phone-makers weren't already using it.
When you want to snap a shot with the Galaxy S6 and GS6 edge, all you have to do is double-tap the home button to launch the camera app. It can jump from sleeping phone to snapped pic in less than two seconds. The iPhone is in good shape here too, but the best result we could get for it was around 3.5 seconds.
There's also no physical shortcut for launching the iPhone's camera; you'll need to slide the camera icon from the lockscreen (if you're waking your phone up), or tap the Control Center shortcut after swiping up from the bottom of the screen (when you're already using the phone).


Both cameras take great shots (for a smartphone, that is). In our tests, the Galaxy S6 performs a little better in low-lit conditions, brightening subjects and picking up a bit more detail in dark to very dark settings. The iPhone, meanwhile, appears to brighten up medium-lit (daytime, indoor) settings a bit more than the GS6 does.
On the whole, both are well above average quality for smartphone low-lit shots.
Neither will replace a DSLR, but we'd be happy to rely on either iPhone or Galaxy for daily smartphone photography – with a slight advantage to the Samsung phones for that ultra-quick, incredibly easy launching. The Galaxy S6 is also a little better for zoomed-in (or cropped) shots, with its higher resolution sensor.


None of the three phones are pushing battery life barriers, but our tests have the Galaxy S6 edge coming out at the head of the pack. In our video streaming test (over Wi-Fi, with brightness at around 75 percent) the Edge dropped 10 percent per hour. The Galaxy S6 came in just behind, at 11 percent per hour. The iPhone's battery dropped a bit faster, at 14 percent per hour.
You'll always want to take these tests with a few grains of salt (the luminance of "75 percent brightness," for example, varies from phone to phone). But our experience matches up pretty well with those results. Though Apple and Samsung may have put their light/thin oneupmanship game ahead of innovating on a battery life front, all three handsets are still doing pretty well there – with the GS6 and Edge, again, having a minor advantage.
Like several other Android flagships from the last year, the Galaxy S6 has fast charging capabilities. If you're almost out of juice, and you're using the stock Samsung cable, you can get it back to a respectable state after just a few minutes of charging. The iPhone doesn't have a quick-charge feature like this.


The Samsung phones also have wireless charging built in, so you can pick up a charging pad (either the Qi or PMA standard) to juice up just by resting your phone on top of it. And hey, if you shop at Ikea, you can even charge your Galaxy S6 by resting it on your Swedish couch's armrest.
The iPhone doesn't have built-in wireless charging, but if you use a case for your iPhone, you can still buy a wireless charging receiver that tucks inside of it (though this does have the side effect of taking up the iPhone's Lightning port).


The iPhone 6 is by no means a slow phone, as Apple continues its regular parlor trick of turning a dual core processor and 1 GB of RAM into airtight, silky-smooth performance (on an Android phone, those specs today would probably lead to a compromised experience).
With that said, the Galaxy S6 is an unusually fast phone. You can zip from app-to-app without the slightest bit of lag. The first time you use the phone, it's almost startling how fast it is.
As far as storage goes, the entry-level iPhone gives you 16 GB of internal storage while the Galaxy S6 starts out with 32 GB. You don't, however, get a microSD slot in the Galaxy S6, as you did in previous years' Galaxy phones (and of course iPhones have never supported memory cards either).


We don't have big complaints about either side's software (the Galaxy S6 has an Android Lollipop core with Samsung TouchWiz UI, while the iPhone 6 runs iOS 8). Despite some welcome improvements from Samsung this year – removing bloat for a more streamlined experience – the GS6's software does still feel a bit more disjointed than Apple's.
Some degree of that may be inevitable, considering the different approaches. On the iPhone, everything you see is either designed by Apple or a third-party app that you installed. On the Galaxy, you have Google's core software, including Google apps and services, but then you have Samsung's UI customizations and extra features on top of that. Throw in some Microsoft services and your local carrier's crapware of choice, and it's just a different experience than software that's all made by the same company.
It also leads to oddities like two different image gallery apps, two different email apps and three different messaging apps – all pre-installed.
This is all familiar territory when talking about iOS vs. Android, and Android has other advantages like more customization options. But the iPhone does still feel more like a whole widget, while the Galaxy phones are a bit like two or three artists painted on the same canvas.


As wearables start to get their moment in the mainstream spotlight, you might want to think about them when making this decision. If you want an Apple Watch, then you'll need an iPhone. The Galaxy S6, meanwhile, is compatible with Android Wear watches (like the new LG Watch Urbane) along with Samsung Gear smartwatches.
The Galaxy S6 also powers the excellent Gear VR virtual reality headset – which is basically the Oculus Rift's mobile sidekick.


Pricing is the same for the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6: typically starting at around US$650 full retail or $200 on-contract (just remember the Galaxy gives you double the storage for that price tier).
The Galaxy S6 edge has a $100 premium for the curved screen. Considering it's otherwise basically identical to the Galaxy S6, you have to ask yourself whether some extra cosmetic appeal is worth a Benjamin.


The Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge and iPhone 6 are all terrific phones, and we wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to recommend any of them. You do still get that bigger and sharper screen from the GS6, and a more logically-flowing overall experience from Apple, but neither phone has any glaring holes. Both are premium flagship phones that stand above most – if not all – of their peers.

Apple dhe Samsung mund të heqin nga qarkullimi kartat SIM

samsung14iphoneKarta SIM mund të zhduket nga qarkullimi. Sipas Financial Times, Apple dhe Samsung janë në diskutime me kompanitë celulare për të ndihmuar zhvillimin dhe implementimin e një standardi të ri të kartës SIM që mund të bëjë më të lehtë kalimin e shërbimit ndërmjet ofruesve.
Raporti i referohet standardeve të reja për krijimin e një e-SIM , i cili do të mbetet brenda telefonit dhe do t’ju japë konsumatorëve aftësinë për ndërruar kompani celurai, pa marrë një kartë të re.
standarti i ri pritet të jetë gati diku në mes të vitit 2016, por tashmë kemi parë që Apple ka ndërmarrë një hap lidhur me krijimin e këtij tipi karte. Vitin e kaluar, ai prezantoi LTE iPads që përfshinin diçka të quajtur SIM i Apple, e cila i ofronte njerëzve mundësinë të zgjidhnin midis kompanive të
