Is there a reason you don't just go straight to the Apple store to buy your iPhone? They can do the carrier activation.

Turn off the notification badge for mail. You don't check it anyways.

It’s just wild that couriers are so brazen now with theft that they don’t even care anymore. Despite all the supposed checks and balances in place.

They really cheaped out on that battery. Set an appointment with the Apple Store and see what they can do.
