2012wagon

it’s awesome isn’t it ?!

And i I am loving the battery life so far

only thing is Rear of phone heating up on use

Whiskers

Cause its hot hot hot!!

2012wagon

hotter than Eliot spritzer escorts


First full drop of phone just happened
On concrete from 4 feet high
No scratch
Not broken

Whiskers

Man it must have been hot.

srika

So flippin fast. Switching between apps and tabs and back and forth etc etc. This is much faster than the 6 plus.

Overall super happy with it I did miss the home button today when I was driving using Waze sideways in a holster, there’s literally no way to access any of the other screens without taking the phone out and going upright. Solution is to use Waze upright which I am ok with.

It does get hot but I’m ok with it it’s not overwhelming.

srika

Oh yeah def need some kind of case the glass back gets slippery easily. Sucks cuz it’s so beautiful to look at.

2012wagon

it’s small enough

perfect

The screen's aspect ratio is strange. Notch doesn't bother me much, but what does is that the screen is narrower than the Plus. I haven't compared it to the regular 7, is the 7 the same size as the X? If so, maybe they were trying to save money on tooling. And if that were the case, then

I might wait another year or go back to Android depending on what else comes out. I borrowed my sister's X for half an hour and came away with the impression that I still don't want to upgrade. The size difference is very noticeable though. I'm 95% confident that the S9 will have a better screen than the X.

I was one of the first to go to a 4.5", back then considered huge. Same with a 5.5"+ screen phone. I'm not sure about a 6.5" screen. I can use the Plus one-handed just fine, but pocketability sucks.

As I predicted!

Reminder to use night versions of apps for even less battery consumption. Has to be jet black though.

Whiskers

Battery is better.

It gets hot just using Waze?

srika

no I was just saying it gets hot sometimes like if you’re using it prolonged. Not related to Waze.

2012wagon

you were right

loving the speed
loving the size
loving the no midday ghetto battery re charge needed

Mizouse

Man your 7 Plus must've been faulty. I never have to recharge mid day.

2012wagon

maybe dunno

first 8 months it was great
last 4 months of ownership required mid day charge

thoiboi

Maybe you just played with your phone more often

Mizouse

I'm on my phone all day while at work

i usually leave work around 5:30 with approx 30%.

i unplug at around 6:30

iPhone X impressions after 2 days. Comparison is to 6 Plus (2014).

Pros: Screen sharpness and fluidity is so noticeably better, Face ID works better than you would expect, even in pitch black darkness, the speed switching between apps and screens is super fast, battery seems to be lasting well, the reduction in size is welcome, home button is not missed for the most part. I actually haven’t had a good chance to play with the camera features.

Cons: The back gets fairly hot after prolonged use - but this is understandable. It’s hard to easily tell which way is up, when grabbing the phone quickly, since there is no more home button. This is fairly annoying. The camera sticks out abruptly with sharp edges - Steve Jobs would have never allowed this. The completely glass surface makes the phone easily slippery. This makes it slide on random surfaces. Today I placed it on a cloth surface and went somewhere else, when I came back, the phone was gone it had slid down. Face ID is annoying when you are half-awake and you have to open your eyes to unlock your phone. LOL I actually turned off the “Require attention for Face ID” option just now, let’s see if that helps that situation. Having to look at the phone to unlock it is annoying in certain circumstances.

Has anyone uses Apple Pay yet? How does that work with faceid

2012wagon

I used it this morning. When I selected it, held phone up to face, it verified, paid. Done.

Mizouse

so you tap it first on the payment terminal, then hold it up to your face to verify and then that's it you can put away your phone?

2012wagon

I held my X to my face to authenticate
held the x near the reader.
a checkmark appeared.
done

Whiskers

Face ID doesn't work with my sleep mask on.

Mizouse

Wait.. how did you initiate Apple Pay?

so the process is?
Tap the terminal or double tap the side button to initiate Apple Pay.
Hold to face to authenticate.
Tap back on terminal
wait for check mark
Done
?

Mizouse

Nvm googled that you can't tap the terminal anymore to initiate Apple Pay. You have to double tap the side button. Makes sense security wise

srika

These are some SERIOUS first world problems.

2012wagon

my only complaint

When I have it on my desk, and try to text (laying flat on the desk), it bounces around, due to the camera sticking out on the rear. It doesn't sit flush on a desk.

Mizouse

i noticed that too when I was playing with it ( ) at the Apple Store.

It was actually wobbling a lot! I've got it on video too.

2012wagon

I use random hospital desks. So I initially thought something was wrong with the desk.

Then I realized its the camera. Guess the dumb design fits a dumbo like me

jupitersolo

Bounces around....what the fuck are you doing on the desk?

2012wagon

due to the protruding camera in the rear, it can't sit flat on a desk when you type on it

2012wagon

BRIGHT GREEN LINE

from bottom of screen to top of screen on the left side.

can't get rid of it. WTF is this???! ITs a neon green

I did a screenshot to show you guys, but it doesn't come up on the screenshot

Mizouse

Probably an issue with the screen itself. Reboot?

2012wagon

Grabbed my other phone to take a pic ... UGH

thoiboi

That sounds like a hardware issue with the LED screen itself. I've seen it on laptop computers

2012wagon

Thank you.

Just did reboot. Its still there. Any ideas on fix/solve issue?

thoiboi

Sounds like you need a trip to the Genius bar.
