I don't think so, it's an extra security layer if you don't want someone to unlock your phone against your will, which has a 0,001% of chance of happening. I'll take this risk and disable attention to unlock, as it makes Face ID detection even more reliable.
mine was slated for 11/17 but it arrived this past Monday 11/6
Yeah I have I off. It's great. It's also the only way I can wear my sunglasses.
I'm just curious about the expected behavior, like th screen isn't supposed to dime while you gaze, and supposedly notifications silence themselves.
I haven't noticed notifications silencing themselves, just the phone ringing
I've been using the phone for almost a week now. Love the look, design, gestures and the screen. I'm coming off S8+ and yet this phone impresses me and I always have an iPad, so I'm not here going to compare iOS and Android
However, this phone gets hot. When charging or when multi tasking, this phone gets quite hot.
Two, I'm not impressed with the battery life at all. May be I was spoiled by the S8+ endurance and it's over night battery stand by. This phone discharges around 10% over night or more. S8+ in this regard handles things extremely well, around 1-2% overnight discharge.
Three, apps reloading. Yes it is bothering me. Even my Android Wear app reloads and I have to reconnect my watch to the phone every 4-5 hours. Not good at all. My previous iPhones and my iPad Pro currently handles the RAM management extremely well, I do not know what happened here but I hope they imported things with updates.

That looks nice but it doesn't match the MALM set I have for everything else in our place.
Oh my god, I just got familiar enough with Final Cut Pro X to make composite animoji karaoke videos with multiple characters
Shit is about to get real

Fun little thing you can do. Record an animoji. Throw it into clips app. Apply the comic book filter. Looks great!
I'm gonna get my phone tomorrow, and I won't have much time before I have to leave home. Is restoring from an iTunes backup faster than from iCloud or is it moot because apps aren't in iTunes anymore? Secondly, will it mess it up too badly if I leave wifi before restoring all the apps? I remember before it used to say something like "connect to iTunes to complete your restore" which I guess shouldn't be a problem now.
Just realized my battery life has been notably worse than my 6S Plus (which had just had battery replaced and was doing quite well). X's battery is only a tiny bit smaller. Doesn't feel quite right.

Yeah my 6 Plus used to give me 4 hours as of 2 weeks ago
X gives me 8 hours with of active useage with 13-14 hour standby
Not in my experience. Some just apps are just not well optimized for staying in the background like Twitter, but I don't think any amount of RAM would change that.
I've always disliked the Twitter app on iOS. Android wasn't much better to be fair. It just seems that Twitter can't make a good app. TweetDeck was my go-to app.
I would avoid the iTunes restore if possible. I had done it and only about 30% of my appdata restored.
Also recall someone in this very thread experiencing the same.
I had little interest in upgrading from a 7 Plus but every local nyc Apple store had the 256GB space grey in store for pickup so I couldn't resist. I'm still feeling like I might return this after a week
I suggest to keep trying. FaceID will learn to look for the glasses.
Tried using my boyfriends 7 Plus yesterday to help him set up an Apple Watch and I had a hell of a time getting around. I'm completely trained wih the new UI after only a week.
If anyone still has a lengthy wait on their iPhone pre-order through Apple, check iStockNow. You pick what model(s) you want, then what stores you want, and it sends you an email alert whenever there's new stock available at those stores (Apple Stores update their stock at 6am-9am). Order online for in-store pickup and you're golden.
Was just able to save my dad a month wait on his X (December 8th shipping estimate --> November 12th in-store pickup), he's ecstatic.

The Core NFC API only allows reading of tags, not writing. So top-ups to travel cards or similar things still isn't possible.
You're correct that it won't matter since it'll download the apps from the App Store anyway. Though if you turn off WiFi completely if you have to leave it will pause the process, and resume whenever you reconnect (once you get to the home screen part of the restore).
There's actually a really cool part of the iCloud restore process now where if you go to the backup section of iCloud settings it'll tell you how much data there is left to download in GB. Don't think it'll do that for iTunes but I'm not sure
I was watching a Flossy Carter vid and he said he keeps his brightness up all the way which seems insane to me.
What does everyone have their brightness on?

I should hope it's doing better than the battery of your 3 year old phone.

I leave autobrightness on. Leaving his all the way is a great way to ruin his battery life and increase the risk of burn-in on his screen
Is there a way to rearrange the stuff in control center? I want the media controls on the left.
No you can only re-arrange and customise the elements in the lower half
Lame. This OS isn't designed for folks that hold the phone with left hand imo. Can't really do anything with 1 hand without reachability lol.
I'm right-handed, but I can use my phone with my right or left interchangeably. I can only speak from personal experience, but it never seemed like hand dominance mattered much. Of course I'd rather it cater to left hands anyway because as a righty it lets me do other stuff with my dominant hand.
Yeah I'm a righty but I hold phones with my left hand for the same reason.
13yo me has something to say about learning to do something with your off-hand so that you can multi-task, but this is a family forum.
Well for family friendly reason, I've had a palm pilot before so I'm just used to holding my stuff in my left hand while interacting with right.
I did the same with an 8. My brain blanked out for a second on how to get back to the home screen.
50%, Auto Brightness off. My slider is a bit past the & symbol if you use the header in the menu as an indicator.
I find using Auto dims it too much and leaving it at 50% all day has zero impact to battery life, still get 6.5-7 hours of usage.
Face ID would be perfect for MacBook, far better than Touch ID
