Airpods surprising the heck out of me. Absolutely adore them. Zolo Liberty+ died on me a couple days after I received them, decided to just go with the big boys. Zero regrets

On the topic of airpods. I just picked some up for my Christmas gift to myself. Seemingly out of stock everywhere I lucked out at my local Walmart and they had at least 6 more pairs.
iOS 11 issue. Happened to me a couple times on my 8+. But haven't noticed it or the the framerate drop issue since a few updates, didn't really pay attention which one fixed it for me though.
Strange.
I do exactly the same thing in my car and it sounds fine. Using the lightning adapter and an aux cable. Try another sound source with your aux cable.
I used to love my AirPods but I don't think I've used them once since I got some good bluetooth cans last black friday. The purpose of the cans was mostly for TV use but I can't help but use them for everything else as well, including going out on walks. Fantastic sound, comfort, features, battery, I can even adjust the volume.
I guess that eventually the novelty will wear off and the superior convenience (portability, size, discretion, device switching) of the AirPods will make them useful again for me, but IDK some people just always use cans. Maybe I'm one of those and didn't know yet.

Yeah I switched to gmail and honestly it's laid out pretty much the same so I think I'll just delete inbox
Any tips for better low light photos and video? Mine are full of noise. I don't mind taking more control if it helps
Zero scratches of any kind on my space grey, been without a case since launch.
If Apple adds proper search that's even just on par with whatsapp in 12, i'll be happy. The dream would be discord-level search abilities but we're never getting that.
Underexpose and lift the shadows in post. You'll still get noise but it'll look much more pleasant and less blotchy.
Thanks. Do I need to look into manual camera apps, or is just dragging the exposure down in the default app enough?
I'd consider a manual app if you care about your photos because the manual apps can capture in RAW (a more versatile, better capture quality for editing though bigger file size) while iPhone's default app captures in a type of JPEG compressed.
But that depends on how casually you like to take pics. For serious travel pics it's ideal to have the RAW option.
Check out either Halide or ProCam 5
Airpod's aren't going to get better any time soon. For a non-sealing earbud of that size they are about as good as you can make them sound imo. They have a pretty nice well balance sound signature / curve, decent bass, loud. And I'll take non-sealing earbuds over sealing IEMs any day of the week that I'm not on a flight or something.
I left them at work one day and had to go back to my old, (award winning), sennheiser momentum m2 Iei's IEMs on the bus the next morning, after almost a year of Airpod use. Sound quality between them is negligible, in fact, the senns have a weird sibilance to vocals / spoken word that I don't like. The convenience difference is off the charts of course. I literally can't go back to wired now except at my computer (where I have some sennheiser hd25-1 ii over ears).
You should at least try them.
Well, obviously a manual camera app will allow you to control ISO and shutter speed so if you're capturing stills at night and use a tripod you can definitely get noticeably better results. Plus RAW shots allow you to work with more data in post as pointed out above.
Try a force reboot.
1. quickly press and release Vol. up
2. quickly press and release Vol. down
3. press and hold the side button for 10 seconds.
Alright thanks, I let it charge for a bit and it boots up now. Didn't seem to be a returned phone because it was in pristine condition with all the stickers on, but maybe they just clean it very well haha.
Blue shift is definitely noticeable, which is very disappointing after fearing for it on the Pixel 2 XL and consequently not buying that phone. Are there reports of iPhone X's suffering from the same?
Maybe I'll check out the blue shift on the demonstration models in the store tomorrow, I'm uncertain whether it is just a fear because of internet of mine or this particular model just has bad viewing angles (which could also explain the dead battery, it being a probable returned phone).
All OLED's have this. But to be honest it's not really that bad on the X, especially with True Tone enabled.
Anybody ever heard of this before? Does it work well?

Huh. Definitely still happening here, on 11.2.1. Very annoying.
John Siracusa on the ATP podcast made a very good point about the screen - check what happens when you view an IPS display off-axis - everything gets much dimmer. Not great in bright sunlight to say the least. It's much of a muchness and if anything the screen is more legable for longer on the X's screen than my IPS iPhones.
The difference with OLEDs is the blue light doesn't dim at the same speed as red and green off-axis so everything on screen shifts towards blue.
I think it only becomes an issue even worth thinking about if the screen is an outlier in the sense the Pixel 2 XL is. Otherwise this is classic case of techies hand-wringing for the sake of hand-wringing.
no actually OLED was known for not having great visibility out in the sun
If it's an app or game I use for extended periods of time I toggle off the bar via Guided Access (which locks the phone to the current application). Toggle on= triple power button press. Toggle off=double power button press+Face ID.
It's in Accessibility.
It doesn't need one, but I have both a screen protector and a case. I treat my phone like my baby.
Sides scratches the second you look at it, but that's just the nature of polished steel. As for the screen itself, if you can live with hairline scratches that are only visible under bright spotlights — skip the tempered glass. Shit happens though.
Commented earlier on the page about mine, no scratches, hairline sized or otherwise, on space grey. A colleague has a silver equivalent though and that one has visible lines on the sides. So it might differ between models.
This arrived yesterday and completely fixed my problems, thank you!
Have you tried rebooting your phone? I've noticed Face ID can get a bit slower if I don't reboot once a week or so.
What are people doing for cases? Currently just using the Apple Leather, not going crazy about it, but I guess it gets the job done.
Also - as this is the first time I'm rejoining the apple since iPhone 4(?), I have to ask - is there any easy method of moving my songs over (iTunes incorrectly flags songs here and there).

all of y'all not having scratches made me feel awful. I hope my phone has a defect so applecare can replace it for free.
I definitely noticed this. the fail rate kinda increased too. especially in the dark.
Yes rebooting my phone is the first thing I did. Didn't change a thing.
