iPhone X | OT | Hello Future | November 3
- Thread starter wachie
- Start date
You're probably slightly crazy. Most of the time you can sell the phone privately for more then the outstanding balance of your loan, pay the phone off and start a new plan.
Wrinkle with the X might be if Apple drops the price next year - eg $899 Iphone X2 / $999 IPhone X2 plus which may affect your resale value.
I'm REALLY hoping it's software and not hardware. Even though it's a warranty thing changing phones is a hassle
Wouldn't it happen to everyone if it was a software thing?
Someone should make an iOS OT. A proper, public jailbreak was released for legacy devices, which is pretty significant on its own, but it's important as it took a lot of time to get there.
When you get a chance try something. I was sitting on my couch and got the Maps to hard lock on me, and I watched my position slowly drift from my house, to the next street over without me moving a single inch.
Eagerly awaiting 11.2.5 or whatever. Also the one that fixes my News notifications
Any unbias input into just how horrible this decision is by apple?

Sounds like a security measure to ensure kids can't secretly scan your face and make a purchase, so probably not as horrible.
I do not use this feature, so I couldn't comment on the trouble of having to type your password every once in a while, but it doesn't seem that horrible to me.

I'm trying to figure out what circumstance a child would be able to trick you to I paying for something with your face, given that the phone requires you to look at it for authorisation, doesn't it?
That depends. If you have requires attention turned off, this wouldn't even be the case. But otherwise, just get mommies attention for a split second would be enough. You don't even need to keep the phone in place for a long time.
It would be hard, but you could pull it off, I think.

But mommy's attention has to be on the phone screen. Like, they would have to look at the phone screen and if they did even in passing they would see the big Face ID prompt
This looks interesting. I would like something like this for my car, but I wonder how reusable this is and if it actually works for a extended period of time.
Curse you for implementing next-level security, Apple, I wanted my kids to spend my money.
Damn, have to hit an apple store tomorrow.
I have lightbleeding thru my earspeaker thats super noticeable in the dark
Once i saw my sisters X and that it doesnt do that it pretty much pushed me to message apple support and they said there might be a problem with the seal

I knowww, and im going to the flagship store on 5th avenue
Hopefully having an appointment saves me some time
Maybe if I'm going to get an AW3 I will wait until after the New Year.
Slower, no water resistance (officially, at least), not as good camera, no stereo speakers.
Has the plus of having an headphone jack.
Still a decent phone.
Amazon not updating Kindle for the X is killing me :(
On the other hand, iBooks with icloud sync is pretty dope.

Source?
I feel like $50 - $100 max... with current ipX prices being next years ipX plus prices
Poor demand? LOL. They just recently got the shipping down to a few days? They have never dropped price early
I should have bought a wireless charging stand that is propped up. I keep putting mine on the wireless charger and it must slip during the night
This "news" seems like more nonsense from the financial sector propaganda machine. iPhone X orders still won't fill immediately. It's a few days until shipment.
Their shares dropped on weaker than expected demand so, yes, it has had somewhat weak demand.
It was on my apple news feed, I'll see if I can find it again. It did say wild rumor but there does seem to be rumors already, wonder if they remove the price increase they put in for the other phones.
I mean... I guess... but just because it doesn't fill immediately doesn't mean it's performing as well as they thought it would.
Seems to make sense. They're going to ship out newer models of the iPhone X, and you're not gonna be able to sell the vanilla X for the same price as the enhanced models. And I think $1,000 is already exceeding what high-end phones are worth for most people.
If I'm understanding the issue correctly, wouldn't the proper solution be to set a "parent ID" and "user ID" instead of just removing the face id completey?
True. But these rumors always abound. Every S year, in fact. These fat cats sell, try to lower the stock, then buy back in. Clockwork.
There's no new iPhone X until next year.
The price drop will likely happen next year as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the price drop is a result of the X's sales performance, just to make room to make the newer models viable price-wise.
The X will drop in price when the XI is announced and not a day before
The idea this phone has weak demand is
laughable

Okay let me get this straight
You want Apple to spend time/money coding this option and parents to go through extra unnecessary steps to protect their cards from purchases when current implementation works 100% fine for account security.
They also released an 8 and an X at the same time. They hever never done that before (with the exception of the 5C) 2 brand new models.
1) I'm not gonna cry crocodile tears over apple having to code things.
2)It was already there with touch id ( which uses the same api for face id), they just...removed it?
No, but I have eyes and generally if I have to look at a screen I am capable of viewing what is on the screen. Lmao
"Fuck you Apple do stuffs for my convenience"
So you don't know what you're talking about then ? Gotcha
