About Apple

Apple Inc. came on the stage as a wireless phone manufacturer with massive fanfare when it introduced its revolutionary iPhone in 2007.

Rather than build “just another cell phone”, Apple, as it is known to do, built something incredible and hard to forget. A large part of the fascination with the iPhone centers on its smooth, touch screen user interface(UI).

Invented by Palm over 20 years ago, the touch screen had never been so fun and sexy as when Apple began playing with it. Rather than using a stylus or having to ‘accommodate’ the interface, Apple created something that all but redefined ‘intuitive’. Natural finger motions allowed the user for the first time to interact with a device as though it were truly an extension of themselves.

Established in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976 by Steven Jobs, Bill Gates one time friend and current business nemesis, Apple Inc. was known for its first 30 years as Apple Computer. And as with the iphone, Apple has a reputation for developing superior and intuitive computers, so much so that the company has a great many loyal customers to whom Apple is more like a lifestyle choice than a company.

Apple may have begun in a modest California garage, but it now employs over 20,000 permanent and temporary workers globally and had $24.01 billion in sales in 2007.

Apple is one of those few companies whose name alone has transcended into the rarified air of household names and worldwide logo recognition.

You would need a App to integrate the Samsung Gear S3 into your iPhone.

About a year ago they promised a App for the iPhone...

It was announced for End 2015/Begining 2016, then rumors said End Q1 2016, then End Q2 2016.

Last I've heard, the App for iphone would be released together with the Gear S3.

I also really want a Samsung Gear S3, and I've got a iPhone 6s Plus and i will buy it, the moment the App is availiable. But not a day earlier.

Maybe the App for iPhone is late again and comes with the Gear S4 in End 2017 or it will come never. 

Lately Samsung has been very quiet about iPhone compatibility.

Yes, it should. They won't be dropping LTE any time soon.

Hi Bryan. Depends on which carrier the phone is locked with. Please check the guide The Complete Guide to Unlocking a Cell Phone. Hope that helps, good luck!

Hi Javi. Welcome.

You might find this article comparing iPhone models helpful.

Personally...my favourite iPhone is still the iPhone SE. You can find it used or refurbished quite easily. The downside is that not everyone likes the smaller screen and rumours are that the next iOS won't support the SE. So...iPhone 8 or X would be good "budget" choices perhaps.

Hi Deuce. I checked Costco and it's only available on select stores. I suggest contacting a local Costco store to know availability.

Hi Shianne. You can check if your phone is eligible to use with Sprint on their Bring Your Phone to Sprint page.

Hi Pablo. Since Boost Mobile currently offers Apple iPhone X, I think it's safe to assume that Apple iPhone Xs Max should work fine.

Looks like the phone is badly damaged. You may need to replace the display in that case.
