I've heard about some having issues but I'm on a uChoose 350 and both VoLTE and WiFi calling work for me.

It started working on Prepaid yesterday, seems they haven't updated their website yet.

That's Voice over LTE, not the same as Wifi calling.

Their document is obviously outdated.

Some teens earning $20k+ fixing iPhones in their summer break

While some teenagers may enjoy time off over the summer break, others take up summer jobs. These have traditionally been low-paid hourly jobs, but some are making in excess of $20,000 by fixing iPhones …

The WSJ spoke to one 16-year-old who made almost $24k last summer. Grayson Shaw (above) said that while he does miss time off, he also loves to work – and the money doesn’t hurt.

“Sometimes when your friends are all out there catching really nice waves; it can be really frustrating.”

On the other hand, there’s the $189.99 he charges to repair a cracked iPhone 7 Plus, and his close to $24,000 in revenue last summer fixing as many as nine smartphones a day, he says. “I love to work.”

An 18-year-old said that he quit his job at his father’s bowling alley when he was making more money from the iPhone repairs he did on the side. Joseph Kokenge taught himself to repair iPhones by watching how-to videos on YouTube.

It isn’t all profit, though. Jack Hancock says he’s been fixing phones since he was 15, and has twice had to pay to replace a phone he’d broken.

Another time, he accidentally clipped a cable in an iPhone, killing the fingerprint sensor. He paid the customer $400 for a new phone. “It was very costly to me.”

iFixit said that you’ll find similar teens in any school.

“I would think in any high school in America, you’re going to be able to find someone who has decided to be an entrepreneur and is fixing phones,” says Kyle Wiens, chief executive of iFixit.

If you’ve done the same, do share your experiences in the comments.

Someone should explain to the author that revenue and earning aren't the same thing.

His revenue might be $24k but there's no way he earned $20k+ when you remove the costs, like the repacement parts and replacing handsets broken during repair.

If he's using decent quality components for the repairs he might be earning half of the stated amount.

Amen...It's Captain obvious...Don't know why the writer did not take that into account or at least phrase it differently.

What are your guys thoughts on getting a portable DAC to use with an iPhone?

I love listening to music on my iPhone 7 so was thinking of getting one of these from Amazon:

Apple & AudioQuest Preferred Bundle: DragonFly Black v1.5 (USB Preamp, Headphone Amp & DAC) and Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter (CCK 3.0)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X96K316/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_2Cwvzb4X57TNF

I've read great reviews but still not sure if it's worth the spend. Have a set of Klipsch X10i IEM which are epic on their own...

I also like the idea of being able to charge the device while using it, thanks to the camera adapter

Anyone running any of the IOS 11 beta's?

Wondering if it's still too buggy to install on my primary device

Still too buggy for mainstream use. I'm running it on my iPad.

Ok cool, thanks.

Please keep me/us posted when you think it's suitable for primary devices.

I have it on my personal Iphone, still running ios10 on my work one.

Honestly not many bugs, I've just had to close and restart the SMS app.

 

[PAYBACK]

iOS 11, probably buggiest BETA for me yet, but manageable.

I'm not impressed with it either, it's the first beta I haven't run on any of my devices (and I usually run one iPhone and one iPad on the betas).

Tried twice, reverted to iOS 10 twice...
