Okay, so a few weeks ago I bought two iPhone 5s while on vacation in Dubai. We moved to the middle east earlier this year from England and I was aware of certain phones not having facetime on them and all that, so anyway, went to a store and the guy said they were factory unlocked iphone 5s. Paid the man, went home.
Yes I should have bought them from the official Apple store and all that but hear me out. This is where my doubts about one of the phones being official factory unlocked stem from.. The black one, mine, is probably factory unlocked as I can see the cellular data settings and everything. In the white one, my wifes phone, I cant see the cellular data settings, and so had to Google the alternative way of setting up the APN, etc. Did it through a website that does it for you, and voila! Data was working just fine for her as well. (btw just to add, her phone says LTE on/off mine says 3G on/off we live in Bahrain and theres no 4G for iPhone here anyway as the networks dont support it).
My question here now is.. with iOS 7 coming out will we (more importantly, SHE) be able to upgrade to iOS 7 without having any issues? And more importantly, if the cellular data settings are still blocked, will websites such as unlockit help me get APN settings on iOS7 or is this affected by which version of iOS youre using etc.
These are our first iPhones, and were loving them we could well go and try to get her phone changed because a friend knows the stores owner. But if there wont be anything to worry about in the future, should we just chill?
Expert advice needed please. Thank you for your time.
