Other iPhone

There is one massive problem with iOS devices and its the amount of annoying ‘Other’ stuff that takes up your storage space.

If your like me and own a 16GB iPhone, iPad or iPod touch then storage capacity is precious. Its annoying when you hook your device up to iTunes to find like me you have over 3GB of this Other stuff that you can’t get rid off no matter how much you try.

This Other stuff is made up of Junk File, Cache and Offline File and Cookie and Script files. Its can even hold Failed Media files that have not synced across correctly.

Well having Other take up my storage space is no more, thanks to a programme that @DanBennett pointed me towards last night called PhoneClean.

$149 is Now the Down Payment for an iPhone 5 on T-Mobile!

iPhone 5 T-moble cost increase

When T-Mobile started selling the iPhone 5 in April the down payment for the device was just $99 with a 24 month contact costing $20 dollars per month.

Well a check on the T-Mobile website shows that the down payment has increase by $50 to $149, on the same $20pm, 24 month contact. This additional cost now makes the iPhone 5 on T-Mobile just $20 ($629) cheaper than a brand new unlocked device straight from Apple.

Its a little bit naughty of the carrier not to tell people that the initial $99 down payment was a 1 month only deal for April to get people through the door.

Let us know your thoughts on T-Mobile’s price increase below.
