So far, nothing. I did find out something new:

I found out this SIMless Samsung Galaxy S6 edge is global and not with a 
US carrier. According to my former boss who got me this Android 
smartphone to test with, it was probably ordered online like Amazon from 
Germany. That explains why its default language is in German and 
Samsung's technical support says to contact a non-US company.

I wonder if Apple region blocked it? If so, then how the early 2013 MBP 
worked fine? Did Apple make it region blocked in its mid-2015 MBPs?
