I'd probably be importing to PC just by using the windows iCloud software and then importing from there. Will that handle conversion?
Ah, that's not too bad then!Oh, yes. I see it now. The box isn't always there, only when you're actually changing that value. When you stop adjusting it the yellow box fades, that's why I didn't notice it and why it doesn't bother me
First person I actually see being disappointed with the SG after using it :(
Time to second guess my SG preorder again.
Try to retrain it with your second attempt posing at a lower angleSo far I'm quite impressed with the X. It's weird going back to a smaller phone after having a 6S Plus, but it's not a huge deal for me so far. Not to mention the screen is amazing.
But what's up with Face ID? Is it just me or does it just not work very well at all. Works maybe like 60% of the time. I have reset it as well and that hasn't helped...
What does your delivery date say?So Apple just charged my card for delivery. How long do I have to wait???
The 6 is the worst iPhone of all time. Ugliest, outdated on launch with its tiny RAM amount, weak materials.While I'm here, I got to play with the X in store. I found it really hard to hold the phone and swipe up from the bottom with one hand compared to my 6. It was a delicate balancing act.
Maybe because my hand naturally landed behind that bit higher on the phone to balance it's tallness/weight, so then reaching down with the thumb to swipe was a stretch and resulted in a see-sawing / tipping motion.
It wasn't that bad, but my brain was screaming at me to use both hands instead of 1. It's possible I'll get used to it like I got used to my 6 after much smaller phones.

I might have to try this. I've put it on my desk next to my laptop and I'm probably at a 45 degree angle to it, and its not recognising me until I get much more 'over' it, looking down on it.
so should I do one face-on, and then one with the phone roughly at the angle it'd be on my desk? So its looking 'down' on me
Yeah, I actually did the lower angle reset yesterday because I noticed I tend to normally unlock my phone at the angle and my original Face ID scan was perpendicular to my face at a normal level. Still hasn't helped much. Is there a certain light level we should be doing it at? Both times has been not too much lighting for me, so I'm wondering if I should reset it in a much brighter condition?
First time using an Apple leather case. Definitely worth the price tag. This is one of the few cases I've used that doesn't cheapen the overall design of the phone. I'm not sure how safe it would be from a drop, but I kinda want a leather bumper.
Yeah the who OS navigation looks a bit messy.The 6 is the worst iPhone of all time. Ugliest, outdated on launch with its tiny RAM amount, weak materials.
You'll far prefer the X if you actually own one. My main concern, though, is that iPhone X makes top bars unreachable and bottom bars inconvenient. Many fundamental iOS UI paradigms need to be rethought.
Anybody concerned about burn in, especially with Apple saying it will happen?
I normally watch tv shows on my phone at full brightness, but I'm nervous to on the X over fear of burn in, especially since so many shows have the networks logo sitting in the same spot on the screen throughout the episode.
All OLED screens will get screen burn if you use it long enough. Its impossible to know when it will happen, but yeah theres a big risk. Its generally not such a big deal since lots of people are upgrading their phone quite frequently. Not as big a deal as say a giant TV that you might not want to replace every 2 years.
That's just the price one has to pay for having an OLED screen. My main issue with the X is how fragile it apparently is. I hate phone covers personally, and never use them. Whats the point of a beautiful design you're paying so much for, if its housed in an ugly thick coating of rubber and plastic? Is my attitude.
Its meant to be really really fragile. If you drop it without a case, it breaks. And the Pixel 2 XL has severe screen burn issues out of the gate. And these are the only two phones I want. Rounded corners and an OLED is almost a must.

The problem with the Pixel 2 XL is different to the burn in with the iPhone X due to the navigation bar at the bottom. You probably know all this but anyway, what happens is the screen degrades over time but the black nav bar, which never lights up doesn't degrade at the same rate leaving a bright bar at the bottom.
I've tried to combat this on my Pixel XL by installing an app called navbar apps which puts a colour on the nav bar, hopefuly this will mean the whole screen should degrade more equally,
So yeah, to sum up the iPhone X screen should be fine.

where did you read about it being fragile? If it was that squaretrade article, well they have a vested interest in pointing out how expensive it would be if it broke, they're tryign to sell you insurance. Other drop tests I've seen it seems to do slightly better than the iphone 8.
Just reading about stuff like notifications expanding details when you glance at them
I wonder how Apple will handle the burn in situation, they always replaced dead pixels and small issues with the screen. I wonder if they'll be that way with burn in? I feel like 99% of people with phones would never even notice a dead pixel or even some slight burn in/image retention. It's probably easier for them to just replace the few people who do notice to keep them happy.
Yeah it sucks but I imagine I'll upgrade next year since Apple usually does big improvements on the 2nd version of new hardware revisions.
On another note with about 24 hours with the phone now, I'm loving it. The gestures are natural and I love the flow of things. Also, I guess I'm used to True Tone after hating it at first.
Just go naked with it if you want and don't consider yourself clumsy. Insurance, screen protectors and cases are a huge business and you never know which outlet is involved in which way or who is just reporting on which source. Some have been reposting the drop "test" of a phone insurance company to say the least... meanwhile the phone has held up really great in EAPs video (https://youtu.be/8vHCBwJVeO4). Luck is always a factor so eh.Read it in a few places, don't remember where though. Yesterday I was listening to the gadgetlab podcast which is the Wired gadget podcast, the lastest episode is largely just about the Iphone X. And they say if you drop it, it breaks. On any side, or any corner. In fact, on the podcast they say thin covers for the X are not enough, and a thicker one is needed if you want to stop from breaking it. It's the main thing that is stopping me at the moment.
So my iPhone X always shows the location services icon next to the time. Is gps always active? I checked in the setting and they are set to either only allow when an app is opened or turned off.
OLED burn in can actually be kinda sorta fixed, or at least hidden. It's caused by the fact that OLED pixels wear out over time and become less bright. If some pixels are left bright and unchanged much longer than other ones, those pixels can wear out more quickly than their neighbors, causing them to be dimmer than the rest of the pixels, resulting in image retention (burn in). The solution is to run an app which lights up all pixels *except those ones* for a time to cause even wear on the entire screen. There's even an Android app that does it.I wonder how Apple will handle the burn in situation, they always replaced dead pixels and small issues with the screen.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I've had an s7 for over a year with always on screen enabled and there is no hint of burn in. If you're not using the phone 5 hours a day at max brightness I doubt there will be any probs

So that's likely what Apple would do to handle it, take the device and run an app that removes the image retention.

They did update their Photos app. As for the rest, it's because the device has only been available since Friday, and a big corporation isn't going to submit a fix without testing on actual hardware. Then it has to go through Apple testing before the fix can get released, and I'd bet Apple is getting a whole slew of updates that they have to test, slowing the process down. Admittedly, some apps like GMail shouldn't take that much work, but something as complicated as Google Maps could require a lot of work, and then internal testing to make sure they didn't screw something up. Better to take longer to update an app than to release a broken app and have to release a patch.
Their rating isn't out of 100.Dxomark is such a bad review site for cameras . I mean who gives a still camera 101/100 .

It's $29 for the front screen, $99 for anything else.What's The AppleCare deductible on the rear glass? I am considering just getting a SquareTrade warranty and a good case.
