Interestingly last night I finally updated my iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 10 because I requested a unlock by AT&T. (Need to erase and restore to get the unlock )

during the restore process iTunes asked for my iPhones unlock code.

BTW, with all the leaks that happened what's left for Tim to announce tomorrow?

all he has to do is pretty much walk on stage, say "hi, I'm Tim Cook, you guys already know what we're announcing so bye. Kthx"

Yep. It’s in perfect condition. I will throw in a lot of cases including a black leather Apple one. It has Apple care for two more years. Thinking around $500

Apple's servers can't handle live stream. Seems to have froze. Or they ran out of solar power.

Stupid work blocks everything tech related and sports related.

Guess I better walk over to IT, I'm sure half of them are trying to watch it.

I've debated on the watch. Maybe with a new one coming out, the older one will drop in price.

Nope, same line as your phone. Not sure how that works though. I'm sure there will be some additional fee though for the device.

Says it uses the same phone number as your phone

might be time to update my 1st gen Apple Watch. Then again it was a gift. And I don't really want to spend the money on a new one

then again I think the sensors are all wack. Doesn't register steps properly. Always loses HR signal
