It's ugly but it would be pretty weird using a keyboard at the very bottom with such a tall phone. Like it would be unbalanced. It pretty much puts the keyboard where it used to be but there's only a minimal bezel now instead of a big one so it looks off.
I like to use Touch ID to log into apps. Am I gonna have to type my password now or will Face ID log me into my apps as well?
Great. Woulda probably been a deal breaker if it didn't.FaceID will handle it all. It's so much better than having to touch the button all the time. Everything just logs in as you use it. Near seamless.
each os manages memory differently. like on my iphone x, it seems to prioritize games, but stuff like twitter and discord refresh ALL THE TIME. Wish there was ways to manage this better.
thermoplastic polymer is what the webpage says, which i assume is TPU?Dont think it discolors as its not a TPU case. Its like a hard plastic type of case. You also get one year warranty with it.
I posted a couple pics a few pages ago of the phone in the case (They aren't the best pics as I was in a hurry).. Here they are:

Yea it's kind of a pain.

The Plus models are a lot easier to use one handed.
No matter how good their products may be, I don't think I could ever buy a DBrand product just because I find the marketing they do with youtubers pretty gross.https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dbrand-grip
Supports the X
Edit: Ships out in January....lol wtf dBrand...

He's quoting one Youtuber who works with dbrand. Awesome Youtuber though.
Speaking of MKBHD, thanks to dbrand for sponsoring this video! *view turns to yet another combo of dbrand skins plastered on a beautiful flagship phone*
"This phone has a beautiful glass back, I made a video saying why I don't like putting cases on phones because it ruins the ergonomics and aesthetics of phones but I definitely legitimately think these skins are good and its not because they pay me to say that."Speaking of MKBHD, thanks to dbrand for sponsoring this video! *view turns to yet another combo of dbrand skins plastered on a beautiful flagship phone*
I hate dbrand
Jesus Christ. Just ordered this right this second because of your post and pic. God damn.
Just managed to order one for in-store pick-up today which puts me 3 weeks ahead of where pre-ordering 15 minutes after they went on sale got me. Such nonsense...still happy to get off of this 3 year old 6 plus
Try to resetup FaceID fresh, and under optimal lighting situations to help give you a good 'baseline'. Also people have been recomending that you do slightly different angles for both of your face scans. So do one close to straight on (at a natural distance away), and do the second scan perhaps a little lower, if you tend to open your phone from chest height for example, do the second scan holding it a little lower than the first scan might help.Any good apps for iOS worth getting on x?
Also faceID sometime wouldn't work and I wish it'd try again instead of going to passcode and not try to unlock with my face again. I find myself cancelling and then trying again. Bit annoying when it does that
I also wish if faceID works and is unlocked, you can verbalise and tell the phone to "unlock" without having to swipe up
I've read that entering a passcode right after FaceID fails flags the last failed face scan as "approved". That way FaceID learns and adapts. Some people posted reports that their relatives were able to get into their phone because they possibly "whitelisted" their siblings failed scans by entering the passcode right away. Not sure if that's true though.Any good apps for iOS worth getting on x?

If it's 4k does that automatically mean it's HDR as well? Or is there some other symbol I should be looking out for?
There is one show so far that is HDR but in 1080p which is Star Trek Discovery.4K never indicates HDR also on any platform. On Netflix, HDR videos are incidated with an "HDR" label. Incidentally, I think all HDR videos are 4K also.
To people who have watched HDR shows or movies on their X, does it still have that slight yellow tint like when using true-tone or does it look better?There is one show so far that is HDR but in 1080p which is Star Trek Discovery.

It's terrible on the iPhone. Only app I use that behaves that way. other chat apps like telegram don't do that. I also hate that, not only does it need to refresh, but it doesn't remember what server/room you were looking at last. bleh.Discord is such a terrible app. It always needs to refresh. Ridiculous.
Love my X. First new smartphone that feels new in awhile. I upgrade yearly and that's why my new phones don't feel too new. I blame myself for sure. But it speaks a lot when I'm upgrading from my 7 Plus and the X actually feels new. Love it.

Discord refreshes all the time because it's a shitty web app. Like everything is just web views. The RAM usage must be really high on it, so iOS kicks it to the curb often. Since it's a web app, there's no saved state (which app devs have to build into the app) to restore what we were seeing before natively, so it has to build it all in the web views again. I hate web apps on iOS.
saw this on reddit, I grabbed the others too
Totally agree.I agree, I don't expect the keyboard to be all the way at the bottom. Rather, I expect some better use of this additional space.
Looks good! You would think Apple would include more wallpapers that show off the OLED.
When I first started using the phone I loved the way Discord does it (with the black bezel at the top and bottom effectively hiding the notch). Now I'm used to the notch and despise every app that hides it or has software bezels due to not being optimised. I hope devs speed up the adoption process of the X... who am I kidding, I still have certain apps that aren't even optimised for the 6 screen size (yet they managed to push out 64-bit binaries to stop their app from being obsolete with iOS11).Does anybody hate the black bars in specific applications? Google Maps is driving me insane. I need all that screen dammit; Apple needs to push developers to invest in using the screen estate it takes back to the early iPhone 5 days.

They'll get updated but Google likely did it on puropose to show how silly non updated apps look on iPhone X. They gain more showing their apps run better on their phones and platform than Apple's.Does anybody hate the black bars in specific applications? Google Maps is driving me insane.
