Dr's October 2017 News Update...

It looks like the shine on Apple may be dimming a bit. The new iPhone 8 series are now available and the stores are busier than normal. The previous craziness at launch time was far more subdued this time around, however. Apple may have blundered with the back-to-back release of the 8 series followed by the soon to be launched 10 model.

I have not used the 8 series yet, but have noticed the following observations from my colleagues that would explain the luke warm tepid response. The consensus is while the A11 processor is faster than the A10, it's hardly worth dumping your iPhone 7 series for. It is definitely worth moving from the 6s and older models. Interestingly, but not surprising to me, the iPhone 8+ is outselling the iPhone 8. As this model has a better super retina screen, better battery and the dual optical image stabilization that will be also found on the iPhone X, why not go big?

Apple told the public that their glass back, necessary for wireless charging, was extremely durable. That apparently was a lie since folks are already having them shatter after dropping them. Today, the iPhone 8+ is clearly the best Smartphone on the market. The biggest problem Apple has though the 8 series is already obsolete. It has the same old boring look of it's predecessors but more importantly, does not support T-=Mobile's new 600mHZ "Band 71" which is going to be a deal breaker for me. In fact, the iPhone X will not support this band either. As T-Mobile spent $8 billion to obtain this special bandwidth, I'm not spending big bucks for a device that does not support it.

Anyone who has been following coverage of the recent devastation caused by hurricanes and earthquakes would have noticed that landline and wireless networks almost always fail. That's because even it the infrastructure is not damaged, the networks cannot handle the added network stress. Imagine if there were 90,000 people in the Rose Bowl and everyone tried to make a phone call at the same time. The advantage of Satellite phones is they work when nothing else does. That's because your call goes 910 miles straight up to the nearest satellite. There is no need to use terrestrial local cell towers or switching stations. Dr Wireless rents and sells satellite phones. We also have "SatFi" devices that becomes a satellite hotspot for your SmartPhone or landline phone. Don't wait for the next emergency. Dr Wireless ask about our FREE satellite phone and SatFi packages with Unlimited monthly plans.
