Today we have warned you that Apple has started sell the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus free in the United States. It did not take long for a comment to appear saying that this is nothing new, that the T-Mobile model was also free.
The statement is true in part since They are not the same iPhone 6 model and iPhone 6 Plus, the free version being compatible with a greater number of telephone bands, something that translates into greater compatibility with operators around the world.
El iPhone 6 (A1549) and iPhone 6 Plus (A1522) model from T-Mobile works with the following mobile phone bands:
- CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
- UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
- GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
- LTE (bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)
El iPhone 6 (A1586) and iPhone 6 Plus model free (A1524), it does so with the following:
- CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
- UMTS / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
- TD-SCDMA 1900(F), 2000(A)
- GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
- FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)
- TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40, 41)
