the battery is really awful in this update. I was losing charge 2-3x a day on my trip with heavy usage.

iPhone X | OT | Hello Future | November 3
- Thread starter wachie
- Start date
Honestly the 6s-7-8-X are similar in many ways. The 6s was a big jump with more ram and more performance. Since then the 7 & 8/X are performance bumps but not to the same extent IMO
It is for me, I will trade it in when the next pone comes out... $24 a month X 12 = $288
Solid response from Apple, but jeez, yet another unexpected emergency iOS release that will divert resources away from things like iCloud Messages.
At this point I'm expecting iCloud Messages to be delayed to iOS 12. It was my most anticipated feature too :(
So i got my iPhone X and I think I'd like to get a wireless charging cradle mount for my car. Ideally it'd be something with as small of a footprint as possible and magnetic too (fine if i have to put a plate in a case or whatever). I prefer vent mount but could do dash or windshield mount if it was a better product. Any recommendations?
iCloud sync iMessages. You could backup and restore your iMessages from the cloud. It was in a dev beta for 11 but removed before the public release.
It was pretty nice, I was able to start fresh without losing my messages. It was supposed to return but we haven't heard shit about it.
Forget everything you knew about the home button and embrace the gesture future
I see. Well, I hope it comes back soon, kinks and all!
and later a web client with mobile support

This worries me since it's only a matter of time until I'll drop it.
Have dropped my old iPhone 6 several times, but with it having no glass back it still mostly looks fine. Using a case of course.
Are you feeling threatened? Not meant as an ultimatum nor meant to be funny. Venting frustration with this current iteration of iPhone/iOS. Not up to par with what I've been used to with every past iPhone i've owned.
I got some for Christmas, been very impressed so far. I think I'm getting lint and stuff in the case from my pocket though lol, need to figure out the best way to clean it regularly.
My 8 Plus which has the same glass scratches easy af as well. I think they advertised it as "most durable" and not "most scratch resistant" though...
I believe they said it was the most scratch resistant glass ever or some such nonsense.
My 7 which has been through hell has 100% less scratches than my X which is babied and barely 2 months old.
Bad job Apple.
For $1200 I wish they used the sapphire crystal used on the SS watch. Glad to see it's not selling well and their stock is tanking. Maybe make a quality product if you want people to buy it.
Haha, what? It's outselling both the 8 and 8 Plus individually, just not both of them combined.
They had to cut sales expectations 40% just a few months after launch. It's a dud.
Grab an Android phone and let us know how much better your battery life is.
Unfortunately the phone needs to stay on a wireless charging pad in order to achieve normal battery life.
This is not a "one or the other" situation.
It can both sell well and not sell as well as the analist's expected simultaneously.
I would love to see a picture of these scratches btw, because mine is pretty flawless and I would love to know what to look out for.
Also, tanking stock looks like this now...
Turns out I have been doing graphs wrong for my entire life.
I don't use bluetooth and close out all my apps. Phone makes it all day off a charge with 40% to spare. I'll stop closing them out after they fix the memory problem.
The Mail app refreshes are maddening when you wanna get quick info from an email for safari. I hope they fix these memory issues because it's not the business rn.
Pixel 2 XL battery life is phenomenal, actually. I wouldn't use anything than stock Android. I swap between iPhone/Android so often and can get well over a 24 hours compared to less than 24 with the same amount of useage. So many good phones out there right now! First world problems.
I use Android plenty, too. I'll take the occasional iOS hiccups over the rogue Android app battery wakelocks.
Same, I'm aware of the downsides of sapphire glass (brightness, brittleness) but for the asking price I really wish they went with it. Chances are the gorilla glass derivate they use now will shatter anyway if you drop the phone, might as well have a very scratch resistant and premium glass while it's intact.
I guess that ship has sailed for the next few years though.
I would have happily paid the difference. I love the SS watch material that I can hit against literally everything and it will never scratch. For the price premium I wish we at least had the option. My X is covered in scratches and I haven't dropped it once.
Where did these even come from?!
I've converted to the dark side and now using the darkEra theme. But is there any way to (in portrait mode) change the address bar at the top to disappear or darken too?
On my 6 I had slight screen burn from that top bar through browsing over the years.

Seriously, post a pic, I am legit surprised at your experience of scratches, mine is pristine.
The only way to get a dark address bar is to switch to Private browsing
Same. Mine has been caseless since release day and I don't exactly baby this thing and there's no physical marks at all.
I had my first bug where I needed to restart the phone. The bottom (Home) bar disappeared from my screen and I couldn't quit any apps. A reset fixed that. First reset I've had to do in the month of owning the X.
Also copped me a pair of AirPods, very nice.

I'll keep an eye out for the lint lol.
I managed to pick them up and super happy that they fully stay in my ears no matter what I try! The EarPods were usually feeling like they'd fall out... must be the wires pulling em.
