Okay new thread with this question. My Iphone 5S is just rebooting over and over again. Any advice? I will head over to Apple store as soon as I can. I am abroad. Do you think it will work if I buy a new phone and switch my US SIM to it? Also I WANT SIGNAL BACKUP OPTION.

Also, does anyone, ahem, know if iPhone SE (Model A1723) which isn't optimized for T-Mobile or AT&T in the US but will kinda work degrades terribly because of lack of the exact optimization of the right antennas? I know it will work but how much of a performance loss?

GRRR. Buying my *third* iPhone in a year.


One I kept (instead of reselling like I wanted to) because I couldn't backup Signal. Now one I lost all my Signal messages on phone two. No more Signal for me until @whispersystems figures out a way to backup *under user control*.Show this thread -
I'll give up metadata to iMessage or to WhatsApp rather than deal with the inability to backup Signal. Literally, this is the biggest issue I've had trying to convert people to Signal. Now I'm converted out. I realize there are challenges but local back up should be an option!

Unfortunately, Androids aren't secure. I used to have Google Android phones--where I repeatedly tried to turn off Google tracking options and repeatedly found that I was unable to stop Google. There were always more buried options that were ON by default.https://twitter.com/temporalthought/status/996041746344689666 …

At the moment, both iMessage and WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted but log metadata. Signal does not. Unfortunately, lack of Signal backup option means I will chose to let metadata be logged. No more Signal for me. It will affect how I can communicate.

I have a new phone! If you're one of the many I said I'd only talk to you on Signal: It's now only iMessage or WhatsApp. Not installing Signal on my new phone. 1-I'd lose old Signal messages in case phone recovered. 2-No more Signal for me till iOS backups are possible. I'm done.

Hey Apple geeks, do any of you know much about this? cc:

Apple store can probably give you a better answer, but if the config of the antennas is different that may be due to regulatory nonsense — I’d lean no unless Apple tells you otherwise (and make them put it in writing)

Anecdotally, my daughter bought an SE in Spain and has had no issues or complaints after being back in US for 2 months.

You probably can't return it for that reason. You'll get A1723 in Europe, missing 2 LTE bands from the US model, but you're not losing out — the main difference is the extra TD‑LTE and TD‑SCDMA in that model. I've used the European model iPhone 7 in the US without any trouble.
