iPhone IS - what model is the phone of "Global"?

Hello

I am very interested in the iPhone (SE) and intend to buy at the price high. I intend to use T-Mobile as carrier in the United States and also use it when I travel to the Japan and Hong and buy the sim card in these countries and pop in the phone to at least be able to use LTE data, so that it is the CDMA phone or GSM does not concern me as much as the voice call is not so important (I can get by him using VOIP like Skype). I don't want to use roaming when I'm abroad.

According to the page to support LTE, http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/, there are 2 models, A1662 A1723.

After the online chat with the Apple support, they told me have chosen Sprint as mobile provider will make me the A1723 and other options - at & t, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sim free will make me the A1662.

Since I want to use T-Mobile in the United States, if my understanding is that only A1662 is supported. But, according to http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/, support to the Japan LTE networks are not listed for A1662.

My question is, is it really true that A1662 is not supported at the Japan? When I look at LTE bands support of these two models, the only group who lack to A1662 are:

7 (2600 MHz)

28 (700 MHz APT)

38 (TD 2600)

39 (TD 1900)

40 (2300 TD)

41 (2500 TD)

Missing these bands really makes a big difference?

I currently have iPhone 5 A1429 and successfully used in the Japan with a local SIM card and got the LTE speed, and supported by the A1429 bands are ALL supported by A1662, so I really confused.

Thanks for reading my long question and hope someone can help us with that.

This article in PC magazine answers this question http://www.pcmag.com/news/343091/the-iphone-se-is-not-carrier-agnostic

Basically, it says that the two models sold in the United States will work in the world, but if you buy version Verizon, ATT or TMobil in the States, which are all the same phone, A1662, there the slowest speeds LTE overseas (the Canada and the Russia are mentioned in the article), since it lacks broadband LTE 13.

The phone Sprint to the United States is another phone, model A1723, and it is the same model sold overseas (except China, which gets its own phone, model A1724), but the Sprint phone does not work on Verizon (lack band 13), and missing also band 29, so it will work on ATT, he won't go to maximum speed for data Although it works perfectly on Tmobil.

So the simple answer is that all US phones will work abroad, but buy the Sprint phone in the United States is to purchase high speed for global use of the data and that the phone also works on fine Tmobil and ATT, but at speeds slower data, but it will not work on Verizon.

    Hello

    Normal Bluetooth range is about 10 meters/33 feet. Actual range varies in practice because of wireless interference, but you don't need necessarily to have your iPhone on or just around you (scope of arms, for example) for devices to keep their Bluetooth connection.

    Your watch may also exercise certain functions when it is not connected to your iPhone, including some that are available when your watch is connected to a known Wi - Fi network.

  • the iPhone 6 vacuum but on the phone screen. Screen is confirmed good on another phone

    If a friend gave me his iphone 6 to see if I can fix it.  Originally, the screen was broken/broken and was replaced (out-of-warranty repair by non-authorized repair service).  The phone has worked but deleted soon after.  Then all of the sieve was subscribed and put it in another phone and worked very well. I have checked and cannot see damage to the pins of connection on the Board because it the screen in the process of downloading an update of the software to try it.

    Is there a way to allow access to the computer and the iphone without a working screen drag? I managed to restart into recovery/download mode that brought the update to start the download, but he returned to request access after a certain time - download update is still in progress.

    Also, I did a LOT of reading about it, is apple offering free repairs for all that widely "known issue" with the iPhone 6? possible and other models?

    Given that unauthorized third-party cancels all service options & support running on Apple, your question goes beyond the limits of this forum.  I recommend that you are looking for an answer also.

  • Someone at - it encountered problems with the iPhone 6 if weak reception. the phone goes crazy on his own? I have two employees in the SoCal area having this problem. Both have updated to IOS 9.2 to see if that helped. Any advice would be great!

    the phone goes crazy on his own? I have two employees in the SoCal area having this problem. Both have updated to IOS 9.2 and on the Verizon network. Any advice would be great! «The phone cut, connects during a call to Conference of someone else in (the phone chooses who to call), it basically starts random on the phone stock selection as if someone is trying to use it.»  It puts not only calls on mute.  The keyboard for contacts has been absent for a while, but is now back. "That's what they live. We tried to reset hard phones, the last option that we have not yet tried is wipe it off and start over, but I don't see that as a solution, since one is nine and the other is about 6 months with the same problems accurate.

    Hello FergusonChris,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that your business has iPhones whose screens are behaving erratically.  Given your description of the issue, it seems that the screen may be dirty or there is the screen protector/case that interferes with the screen.  To further support this issue, please see the link below.

    Take care.

  • 9.3.4's 6 iOS iPhone Wifi turns off when the phone is locked. How to solve this?

    Hey! I have a 6 - iOS 9.3.4 - 16 GB iPhone. My phone WiFi turns off eventually when I lock it... The problem is that I get no notification because of this problem. I'm too lazy to try troubleshooting for this problem, just read a lot of advice, but it had a bad feedback. How would I fix this? Thank you.

    It is not a problem. This is a design feature which is present in all iPhones and all versions of iOS for 9 years. WiFi turns off 30 seconds after the phone goes to sleep to save battery life. If you want to keep it you must connect the phone to the power.

    My phone got wet almost a hot tub... was not at all.  Tekdry working on it, so its dry and did not work during a day.  Now its finally works when it is plugged in, but used to hold a charge and seems to be stuck in recovery mode.  IM more than sure that it must just be the battery.  In any case, she takes in the Genius bar, unfriendly guy told me they would not replace battery water damage indicators show?  Why wouldn't they just allow me to pay for a replacement of the battery?  I know it may or may not work and of course my phone is out of warranty damage, if Im not looking to blame future maybe problems on Apple.  Just shocked I couldn't give them $90 to a new phone?  Is this a common practice?  They said that they would only replace whole phone for $299... Please help or give advice, thank you!

    Yes, it's standard. Your only option with Apple will be to pay for a full out-of-warranty replacement device.  The costs for this in the USA are $ 299 for which you get a refurbished device to factory OEM with a 90 day warranty.

  • iPhone are not not in the video - Quicktime Player

    I'm helping someone who has a 4S 8.1.2 running.

    When I connect the phone to my Mac (and a computer Trust), I don't see Facetime in option - and not their phone listed. However, I am able to view what is on the phone via iTunes.

    I used to have a 4S on Yosemite and I'm almost certain that I could see my phone listed in the recording of videos.

    Is - this useless? The 4 current running 8.1.2 works on video recording via a cable brightening on El Capitan?

    Thank you.

    It seems that this could work at the same time according to this article...

    https://www.tekrevue.com/Tip/record-iPhone-screen-QuickTime/

    Perhaps, El Capitan that has changed or you need a new version of iOS now. I never did it myself. I don't even own a smartphone.
