Over the past few weeks, Apple has been instructing its retail stores to remove all tethers from its iPhone displays. The company feels that in doing so, the customer can get a better feel for the phone when it is in their hand.
This has already been done in Yorkdale location in Toronto, Canada, London, England, and others.
The company will continue to use tethers on other hardware such as MacBooks and iPads.
“Apple will add all iPhone 4 models, the late 2010 13-inch MacBook Air, third-generation AirPort Extreme, and mid 2009 AirPort Time Capsule to its vintage and obsolete products list starting October 31, according to Japanese website Mac Otakara,” Joe Rossignol reports for MacRumors.
“Apple already obsoleted CDMA models of the iPhone 4 around the world last month,” Rossignol reports, “while the late 2010 MacBook Air joins the mid 2009 iMac, 2010 Mac mini, and mid 2010 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro among Apple’s recently obsoleted notebooks.”
“The current MacBook Air has not been updated in 584 days,” Rossignol reports. “Refreshed models with USB-C ports are expected later this month at the earliest.”

Apple has started selling SIM-free iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus.
A SIM-free phone means that the device does not come with a pre-configured SIM card, and the end-user is able to go with virtually any cell phone carrier he / she wishes.
A person would get the SIM-free option during the choice for the phone.
Thursday, we reported that Samsung is sending fire-proof shipping materials to customers for sending their Galaxy Note 7 back to them for the customer's safety.
But (as always in situations such as this) their will be those who will refuse to give up the device and even throw the box away. While that may seem like a smart idea, it's not. Some people will also say to themselves
It can't happen to me!
The below people also thought that way:
See what I mean???
Now, let's think about it - would you knowingly walk around our streets with a ticking-time-bomb in your pocket? By you not sending that phone back, you're basically not only putting yourself in danger, but your family, friends, co-workers, or anyone else you may come in contact with.
If you've already sent back yours, good for you - you have common sense and the sense to put your and my safety first. If you didn't, well, good luck.
