Is your Apple iPhone 5 using too much cellular data?? |
While this has been only a Verizon problem at this moment, it is another issue that has plagued the latest iteration of the iPhone. Since its launch, owners of the device have complained about scratches and nicks out of the box, purple tint on pictures, static lines on the QWERTY keyboard and the Apple Maps problem which is really a problem with iOS 6, not specifically with the 6th generation Apple iPhone.
2. Wait for the following alert to appear:
Verizon Carrier Update
3. Tap OK to install the update.
4. Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see "slide to power off".
5. Slide to power off.
6. After the device powers off, hold the Sleep/Wake button to turn your phone back on.
Note: To finish the installation of the update, your iPhone 5 must be turned off and then on again.
After your iPhone restarts, tap Settings > General > About, then scroll down to Carrier and verify that "Verizon 13.1" is displayed."-Installation Guide

I wonder if Apple is going to release a bunch of limited updates rather than send out one large update? Certainly less visibility that way....

its just another sad day in an Apple customer's life!
What is strange to wonder is how is Apple doing so many wrongs in the year in which they don't have steve jobs?
Is innovation at Apple hit the roof and will they too R.I.P just like steve???

Wonder why they bother doing this...Just keep all the fixes into one giant update, add another useless feature to Siri and call it iOS 7, Profit...

Wonder if this is the patch to stop the unlock to be able to work on USA GSM carriers.

No. The spectrum that VZW is using for its LTE roll-out is required by the FCC to be free of locks.

Based on the articles I have seen, the update is being distributed by Apple (as opposed to VZW). Apple would seem to not have a dog in the fight regarding locked or un-locked SIMs. In any event, the FCC has final say about the matter based on the conditions they have applied to the spectrum involved.
