No don’t have multi phone companies to choose from in Quincy Florida only TDS
and No sorry you have no idea what you are talking about in my area . No this
is not my first iPhone by no means I have had the iPhone since the iPhone 3gs
came out in 2009 and as far as my writing if you don’t like it delete it! Not a
problem to me! Yes I know where I live at and what is abiable to me in Quincy
Florida! Now Tallahassee Florida has much more choices but it is 40 miles
almost from me. By the way I don’t live in the city of Quincy. I live outside
the city limits by 10 to 15 miles. In fact I live in between Sand ridge and
Wetumpka. Now pin point that on your map! Here again you have no idea big city
man! By the way I know CVS and other are taking it but here in Quincy they have
not updated the equipment to do so! Just because one CVS does one thing don’t
mean they all do the same thing. And so on!

Matt, do you reread what you write or just ramble on. absolutely everything
you wrote is incorrect. Not only is it incorrect but it’s written like someone
who’s never used an apple product trying to write a hit piece and sound smart
about something they’ve never used.
You do not live out in the back waters of the 3rd world. I personally designed
parts of the fiber runs that are in your part of the world. Some of the towns
in your part of the world are some of the most wired small and medium sized
towns in the country. Florida is very easy going on communications and data
companies like that so there are many in your area. As a result a lot of the
services including apple pay are available there. Your Grocery stores should
take it, I’m not sure the status on Walmart I know their POS system is capable
but for political reasons and the fact they are pushing their own standard I’m
not sure Apple pay is officially supported although it does work. Same with
CVS. Walgreens I believe is already Apple Pay enabled. McDonalds definitely
is, Publics has Apple Pay,. Hell, I ran enough wireless services on top of the
fiber to cover a lot of the little guys as well. Even small stores like Birds
on Safari or Big Apple Pizza which are small one off or 3 or 4 member chains.
The other thing is a lot of merchants have it enabled and don’t
know it as it’s part of their point of sale system. My dentist now is a good
example of this. I paid last time I was there with Apple Pay and now he’s
aware he advertises that he accepts it. In other cases the feature is there
you just have to have the merchant enable it.
If you really feel like you don’t have good options there in Florida let me
know. I wired up a good part of that state from the Pan Handle on down to
Marathon and lit up strands along the Flagler railroad all the way from Fort
Pierce on to my Data Center in Pompano and then down to the NAP of the
Americas in South Miami. Even the company I helped spin up is still operating
down there and my friends / former employees are still there so if you need
something better you let me know. On top of that you have good cell coverage
do to your geography and topographical properties of the area. So flat signals
carrie for miles. On regular 5.0 GHZ WiFi unlicensed spectrum I beamed signals
point to point from Palm City to Fort Pierce with a CCQ of 97% or greater.
Hell you even have multiple phone companies to choose from. Astro Tel, Snappy
DSL, DSLX, Level4. I wish I had it as good in the choice department. Where I
am it’s Verizon, AT&T, Charter or maybe some resellers.
AH well, don’t feel you’re options are unnecessarily limited. Old fashioned is
good, being a luddite is not. Enjoy ur options and use your features in good
health and if Florida is getting you down on your technology or connectivity
options you let me know and I’d be glad to help.
Good luck buddy, enjoy that tax free, freedom loving living down there, I envy
you.

Hi, don’t hate it that is different I embrace most technology. I am sort of old
fashion and don’t like a lot of change unless it really going to make a big
difference in making my life better. I did without it this long it just not a
thing I think will make that much difference in my life. Besides I not too lazy
to open something up to see what is in side.
It is like apple pay. I sure I would love it but what good is it more than
likely around here in this country side and deep south it would not be used as
the merchants would not carry it.
I live at least 10 to 15 miles from a town and I say a town. They call it city
of Quincy but it not a city nowhere near it. the whole county population is
under 50 thousand . the next largest city to me is the State capital of Florida
and it is by no means a city either . It is in Leon county and called
Tallahassee Florida . it population is only for the whole county is under 300
thousand and most or a lot of that is students as there is Two major collages
in that county FSU and FAMU and then a major community college TEC and a major
trade school Lively VoTech . and several other smaller collages . the
Population of Tallahassee itself is just under 200 thousand and here again this
is mostly students as all these schools are in Tallahassee Florida. So students
more than likely make up 50 percent of the Tallahassee population.
So I will try to use the Apple pay but I have not heard of anyone using it
anywhere myself and most I ask about it like merchants they look at me if could
see like I was crazy. They say what is that never heard of it.
So around here in Quincy for example: Wind Dixie, Pig wiggly and stones home
center and Bell and bates home center and Walmart and wall greens and CvS and
then some fast food places and other small shops I sure is not going to even
have apple pay in the stores.
Then traveling 40 miles to the next biggest city and the capital of Florida
Tallahassee Florida it might be a little better but doubt it. maybe some of the
major places over there like Lowe’s and Home depot and so on might take it. But
don’t know if that will be the case in that small southern town either.
But all this being said I will embrace and hope I can use apple pay some of the
time.
But to get back to 3d touch no I don’t hate it just don’t see a good reason to
use it as a second or 2 off my life a day is not really going to matter and
just would rather look into the app by opening it up then to peek into it and
then still have to open it up.
I just not that lazy and to me only it sounds like you are going to work
yourself to death to keep from doing a little work. All this is just my
thoughts for my situation . I sure it is different for others .

I know several people who said they would hate it, they now use 3d touch to
just look at stuff. They have disabilities with their hands so for them 3d
touch works grate. I can't wait to try it out as I hate opening something just
to look at what i need to look at. Hopefully I'll get a chance to upgrade in
the next few months.

Keep in mind it wont' have 3d touch. I read this in an article last night on my
tech twitter list. I was hoping it would but oh well.
Take care and hope that helps.

Actually, if you have ever been a verizon or t-mobile subscriber you’ve owned
an unlocked phone most likely. Verizon doesn’t lock their devices and T-Mobile
unlocks them when you complete your financing or if you travel internationally
etc.
Congratulations on the new device. Definitely let us know how you like it. If
it’s the same innards as the 6s+ you’ll love it. My 6S+ is so much better on
the cell network than the previous models. Good luck and enjoy.

Well, just order the unlock iPhone SE from Apple store. I got the 64 GB in Rose
gold ! It should be here the first week in April if not sooner. Don’t think it
was a bad price for a unlock iPhone. Total with tax and everything came to
around 536 bucks. I have never had a unlock phone before so this is my first!
