Question for anyone on the Apple Upgrade Program: my upgrade isn't until January, but when the day rolls around I should just be able to go into the nearest Apple store and do a one for one from the 7+ to the X and extend the contract correct?

You're essentially starting a new contract, but yeah that's all you gotta do once you get the green light. You can use the Apple website or the Apple Store app to check as well.

Since I sold my iPhone 7 I had to wipe it today and the only backup phone I have is an IPhone 3gs lol. I currently am using it...this is awful. At least tomorrow I will feel like I am jumping 10 years into the future from the 3gs. And on the bright side I am on an unclogged 3g network haha.

Does anyone know if fast charging works on any of the non-Apple Qi chargers? Did any of the reviews confirm this?

I'm thinking of getting the Anker one.

Gonna be a challenge to pry this thing out of my wife's hands tomorrow to get a good look at it. Still salty about my December ship date due to Apple's own errors, and the support person at Apple was basically like "yeah we can't do anything. Thanks for calling."

So it's been a few hours and I'm pretty used to the new home swipe and I've almost completely forgotten that Face ID is even a thing. It just unlocks. I'd still prefer to not have to swipe up to unlock but other than that it's solid.

Phone is great. It's snappy. All the new functions work as advertised. It's not mind blowing or anything but works with very little issue!

Cross posting from pre-order thread.

Yeah animoji karaoke is fun. Also the screen is pretty damn black. Like 98% black. You can see the difference between screen and edges at an angle, but looking straight at the phone it basically just melds together smoothly.

Got a drop case and a metal bumper case.

Waiting on Apple leather case and my rotation is set.

Can't wait for my shipment to come in tomorrow!

Just put in my upgrade through apple a month early, it'll be here in one month. I gotta ask- anyone running caseless? My 7+ hasn't had a case on it for a year now, and I'm thinking of doing the same with the X

I got my iPhone X a couple of hours ago and have been spending the last few hours setting it up.

I'm liking it so far. Face ID is as easy to use as I hoped.

Did the previous iPhones automatically insert passwords into safari before with TouchID? When I logged into gmail and resetera just now, FaceID kicked in and wrote in the password stored in iCloud/Safari for me. That's an awesome feature.

Just got my X, updating to 11.1 so I can restore my backup. My display seems a bit orange with true tone on, but nice and white without it. What up with that?

True Tone adjusts the color temperature to the lighting in the room. So it won't be strictly accurate, but it'll look visually better in the context of the current lighting conditions

So yes, it will be actually white with it turned off, but the point isn't to be actually white at all

You just have to get used to it then you won't notice anymore. Don't look at your old phone and you won't notice it as much.

After a few hours I went back and turned off True Tone and everything looked dull.

Yeah maybe it's just the room I'm in. It looks like Night Shift is on though, it's weird.

Can anyone recommend me a nice color to choose for my apple leather case? I've saddle brown case for my 6S and I thought it looks nice at first but it became uglier and dirtier over time. Looking at charcoal grey and black now.

Don't get anything that isn't a dark color. When in doubt just get black.

They look lovely for like two weeks then the dirt makes them look like trash. I bought a light colored one. Never again.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing as well. I'm gonna go with black color this time.

Any owners able to scour the settings for a way to disable the swipe after face unlock?

How do the gesture animations look with reduce motion in accessibility if that still exists?

Any quick way to bring up the app switcher? Videos make it look super slow but maybe you can swipe quickly up?

Is there a good video that details how I am supposed to use the phone with gesture controls?
