Sooo, well first of all hi guys
New here, actually new to the whole apple craze, lemme confess I have been a devoted Android user but for some reason considering buying an iphone 4 and in desperate need of some suggestions, and unlike android literally nobody messes with there iphone software so nobody IRL is being any help :/
Moving on, I am getting this utterly cheap iPhone 4 here in Pakistan, but I am confused if i should get it or not, here are a couple of questions. First of all though, it's running with Gevy Sim, and I wont get it factory unlocked... costs too much. Also it does not have jailbreak (yet), I plan on doing it though.
1. With ios 7 only a week away, will gevy sim still work on it? or will i need to buy a new Gevy sim for the new os?
2. Do I have to update to IOS 7? Cant I use the old OS? Cant I use market apps on old OS? Can I install apps via cydia once I jailbreak? Whats the disadvantage of using an old OS?
3. I have read quiet a lot about jailbreaking and software unlock on a specific baseband for iPhone 4, and upgrading to new IOS without upgrading the baseband, is it really as simple as it sounds?
I mean how great is the chance of bricking the phone? What if I lose electricity between the process?
Umm, thats about all (for now (i think)). Will get back with more queries when it comes to me. Oh yes I am not sure about the current baseband of the iPhone in question, will check it later. Is Gevy sim even baseband specific?
