Boy do I have something for you

Good choice. I suspect AirPods will be a huge hit for holiday gifts.
They have been. Currently as a company Apple is out, not shipping until early January, and I'm pretty sure all stores are tapped
Got my X a few days ago, moving up from a 6S and my god it's a great update. Got used to the gestures immediately, and Face ID is awesome. Kinda wish it was a little faster but I can live with it. Seems to work better with my old Samsung wireless charging pad than my S6 and Note 5 did when I had them.
One thing though, the service is pretty bad. Where I work the service already isn't great, but I was always pulling 1-2 bars on my 6S, my X just flat out gets nothing. Noticing at least 1 bar less than normal in my other usual spots. I figured it might've been the case I had on it, which was a cheap on my girlfriend brought me home the day I got it, and since I picked up a new one and reset the network settings for good measure and it has been better. Able to get 1 bar almost consistently at work. It's not that big a deal as I mostly iMessage anyways and I can do that on the Wifi.
I do have the model with the supposedly worse modem, but I'm fairly certain that's all I can get in Canada. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It does, or at least they say they do, but I've never gotten it to work. If we need to we use Duo or our something like that to call.
It's not really that big of an issue for me, just a weird observation.
And I forgot to mention in my last post, but THE SCREEN. The blacks kill me. Literally can't tell where the screens edges are in apps that don't support the full screen yet.
I like the icarez - red box version. Slightly rough edges but goes edge to edge with no cutout for the notch so it looks very natural
I was very skeptical about AirPods, but they are indeed awesome. Was in Best Buy and just happened to ask the employee who came around to see how I was doing as I was playing with the MBPs. Stock showed zero and there were none on the rack, so I lucked out.
Tangentially, the coin pocket is the perfect place for them, but it meant I had to switch my phone to the left pocket. Where my keys normally go. It's been a rough few days.

I was really impressed with Spider-Man Homecoming's implementation.
Mine depleted quickly the first cycle but when I recharged them it was way better. maybe see if this is the case.
Got it, thanks for the heads up. I think I'll definitely grab MM Fury Road since I can watch it over and over again.
Since some are on sale for $10 CDN I'll grab a few :)
Left pocket is better for your phone anyway - right pocket can scratch against the coin pocket rivets if you're wearing jeans.
Yeah, seems like a full charge fixed the problem. Lost 8% battery after 30 minutes instead of the 10% in 15 minutes I was getting before.
Has anyone scratched their phone yet? I'm currently traveling and suddenly noticed 2 somewhat deep scratches near the space bar. Made me super sad.
If you get Mad Max FR and have Movies Anywhere, you may get the Black & Chrome edition free on Amazon.
I did a few weeks after linking.

iTunes version comes with Black and Chrome as well, it's in the extras
Nothing major on mine yet, but it seems prone to microscratches. I usually have a case but no screen protector, but I'll probably put on a tempered glass screen protector on this one soon.
Not sure if this is an iOS 11 thing (probably) or an iPhone X thing, but anyone else get micro-stutters after about a week without resetting your phone? Animations will "hiccup" and/or play twice, when rotating from portrait to landscape the screen will flash and flicker, stuff like that?
How have Google added X support for Hangouts, but not for Inbox? The fuck are they thinking?
I'd bet inbox isn't as popular as all the other apps. I switched back to Gmail a while back and never looked back, it's much better.
There's a decent amount of micro scratches on the steel band on my space grey unit. I'm using the Apple leather case. Strangely, the exposed bottom portion of the steel band has less scratches than the sides that are covered by the case. My guess is debris getting into the case, but I take it out and clean it every few days, so I'm not sure.
Both the front and back glass are flawless though, and that's my main concern.
I just got this screen protector today and it was awful. I followed the directions and when I put it on with the applicator the sides wouldn't match up correctly. And the display went from being crystal clear to a very fuzzy, grainy look. Completely ruined the look of the display.
Does your carrier support wifi calling?
Thats what I use so i can get texts/reg phone calls
Just can't get behind blowing that much money on some mediocrel-ly sounding earbuds. Every time I see someone wearing them, I judge really hard.
How many days has the iPhone X been out now, and Apple still hasn't updated the iTunes Remote app for it, or for iOS 11 at all. This is one of the only "extra" Apple apps I use every day, I don't get it.
As long as they fit fine you'll have no issues at all. Whenever you're not wearing them they're in the case, which should be in a pocket.
I haven't felt at risk of losing one ever
Been using the iPhone X for 2 weeks now coming from the 6S+ and so far this phone feels like a major upgrade from the screen, to the build, to the camera and FaceID.
I love the full screen and the clarity the screen provides. I don't think I can ever go back to something smaller or something with bezels ever again and OMG OLED screen with True Tone is just beautiful.
The camera is beautiful and portrait pics is great on this. Best phone camera I've ever used.
FaceID is hit and miss sometimes but for most of the time it works. Kinda wish TouchID was around as another option though.
Overall, I love the iPhone X and this is the first major iPhone upgrade that I truly appreciate.

Even when wearing a hoodie or jacket...Potentially knocking it off?
Got some AirPods from my girlfriends' parents for Christmas. Really liking them so far. I'm getting a bit of pain in my right ear since I'm not quite used to the hard "shell" of the bud, but hopefully I'll get used to it.
Swung by the Apple Store today while finishing my Christmas shopping. Got to check out an iPhone X but...man, I think the iPhone 8 Plus stole the show for me. I have a regular 6 now, but my next upgrade, I might go 8 Plus. That screen...

I just don't want to step down from the sound quality of my current Sony earbuds or my MDR over-the-ear headphones. The moment Apple drops AirPods that are acclaimed for matching the higher-end earbuds, I'm all in. I do fear how much they'll cost, though.
