Was going to pick up the Charcoal Gray leather case after work, but after watching a video showing all the leather case colors, I kinda want Taupe or Cosmos Blue. Maybe even the Dark Aubergine.

Anyone else use them? What color?
I had a midnight blue on my 6S.

Taupe did not age well for my wife. The brown saddle seems to age the best.

Has Fire Emblem Heroes been updated for the X yet? Might need to cancel my preorder it not.

I went to pick up the brand new White Silicone Case from Apple, It looks fantastic on the silver iPhone X. Tempted in getting the Belkin screen protector installed in-store, has anyone done that before? was checking out videos on the process today.



I had one fitted the other day, well worth the money. Installed flawlessly. Every time i have ever fitted one, I've always managed to get dust or a bubble stuck under it.

Man, I absolutely love this phone! My case should be coming in soon.

I ended up buying AppleCare+ just now. Not taking a chance, especially with how expensive repairs are out of pocket.

what the fuck is that? lol. Just do it yourself, how much is that? The amFilm on Amazon is like under 10$ on Amazon and comes with a little plastic cage that helps you to put the screen protector on perfectly straight with no effort.

Can someone confirm if the Weather Network (Canada) Apple Watch app is working if you have it? Anytime I launch it, it crashes or try to use the complication, it just shows the logo.

Man, I was literally in the exact same boat as you. There is a way!

I got the 8 Plus on Verizon, and my girlfriend waited and got the X. Messing with the X Friday night I had instant regret. So here is what I did:

1. I got extremely lucky Saturday morning. I saw on twitter that Apple stores had same day pickup for the X at that moment and sure enough mine did. I went to the store, and bought an X on the iPhone upgrade plan.

2. For my 8 plus, I was using the device payment plans on Verizon. I paid the rest of the phone off.

3. I put my 8 plus up for sale on swappa this morning, and sold it within an hour for $700.

So now I'm basically where I want to be, which is with the iPhone upgrade plan from Apple (apple care included!), and no more device payment plan to my carrier.

This is extremely helpful! I will definitely do this, though I'm on AT&T vs. Verizon, but I poked around the AT&T site and saw I just need to pay off the device, so it never occured to me to just pay it off and then sell it. Good call.

How quick is Apple when it comes to shipping to a big city? I just hit the "preparing for shipment" stage.

You guys think I'll be able to pick up an iPhone X 256 GB in space gray (obviously without any carrier) over Christmas in Phoenix/US? Would save me a bit of money compared to buying it here in Germany.

Gonna try again...anybody find a wireless charging stand with a hole under the phone so I can plug in some headphones? I want to just be able to charge it on a stand at work and listen to music..

Is that how fast the turnaround is when you get the "preparing for shipment" tag?

I think that's how long it took for my case. Might be remembering wrong tho. If I am I would assume I'd still have no later than early next week which is cool too.

EDIT: Actually ya now that I think about this week with would be extremely optimistic haha. Probably get it like tuesday or wednesday next week I would think.

Shipping from Zhengzhou, China... so I'm guessing people who got theirs the first week didn't have them shipped from overseas?

It's a tool that Belkin provides to stores. Honestly it causes more issues. Those Green stickers sometimes leave residue and screw up the application. It's easier and faster to just grab the protector and do it without the Belkin tool most of the time.

I get the feeling some people are buying the X just for this.

Japan especially seems to be going crazy for this.


This is great. I have a feeling we're on the cusp of a revolution in user-generated content here with the X. People going to be making mini-Pixar movies with a phone. If Apple's smart they'll put out a GarageMovie or something.

When vibrate is on, I had been getting two quick haptic vibrations with each txt msg, but now I'm getting four. It's confusing.

Has anyone had any trouble with the touchscreen going unresponsive? It'll seemingly happen at random to me; side buttons will work but things like trying to swipe up to unlock (or even tapping to enter my passcode) won't work at all. I have to set the phone down and some random amount of time later, usually about five minutes, it'll start working again.

only problem i have is back swiping web pages. can't do it consistently, though it might be because i have an otterbox case on. symmetry.

Put in for an upgrade from my 6S for one of these after my post earlier. Don't think I'll actually get it until next month but that's fine. Looking forward to one more display in my home moving to OLED. What I wouldn't give for an OLED iPad.

I love the caseless feel of this phone but am a complete klutz what are the best minimalist options to avoid screen cracks? Tempered glass seems cool

So...what's the probability that I can buy one iPhone X at an Apple store on NY come December? I'm not from the US.

Yep, happened once. I restarted to clear it up.

Can't decide between keeping the black silicone case vs the black leather case by Apple. The leather case feels premium, but kind of thick in comparison to the silicone. Silicone feels nice, but is a dust magnet and I know will wear out in the corners easily. Decisions decisions.

Pretty fucking lame that literally no apps are updated for the X. You'd think Apple would provide some sort of incentive for developers to give a shit after all of these years. Really annoying.
