I have gone caseless for everyone iPhone, but even with APP+, this iPhone has me worried, so got an Apple Leather case. Seems weird it will be arriving a few days after, when it shipped before the phone..

I'm trying to find the really impressive looking Snapchat gold face filter but it's not on the app. Not sure what they would remove it when the phone launched

I think the Animoji feature is kind of a killer app for the phone I think it's really kinda cool and look forward to using it more

Any cool apps to take some vantage of the face Scanning feature thing?

Mostly just to Narrated that cluster of text so this is kind of cool this new phone seems to be very good at voice recognition

Was going to buy Apple care but the guy serving me didn't seem to want to sell it to me so I did not but he said that the screen would cost $800 to repair if Broken. And that's a lot of money so don't drop the phone

And Apple care is about 400 I think it was but the screen repair would be 150

I'm talking Australian dollars because that's where I'm from

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.

When in doubt add a little color in your life. It's a high end device meant to stand out...make it stand out.

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!
Jesus lmao.

I've used a case for every iPhone I've owned but I have yet to order one or really look into it for my X getting here tomorrow but y'all are making me nervous haha.

Honestly, I don't want anyone to know I'm using a $1500 (ac + taxes) device in my pocket, but then again I guess that's why some people go caseless and go for the extra shiny silver model? I'm more so in it for the added utility. Never understood why people wanted RGB led keyboards and the like...

Apple is more of a fashion company these days anyway.

Tapping anywhere on the screen to wake is very useful. Constantly checking notifications and playing/pausing music quickly with no home button.

We have a glass coffee table, so does that increase the likelihood of scratching the back of the iPhone X vs a wooden one? That might make me use a case or at least have a glass protector on the back.

Still figuring out whether to go with applecare+. Will check with my insurance first today if that can be extended to give equivalent accidental damage protection

Face ID killing it at night as everyone said.

It's quite a bit more useful for things like passwords or purchases or apps that use Touch ID to log in. I open my bank account and it just logs me in. No prompt to rest my finger. About as simple as you can get. It is kind of like a pre passcode world.

How long do I have to exchange the color ? Do I have to do it before unboxing or can I wait 15 days

About to go to the Apple Store to see if there'a any line for pics and breakfast.

I am not getting an iPhone X, I prefer smaller sized phone (hugs her iPhone SE), but I am always hyped for prospects in the future.

Enjoy that A11 guys! :D

Ordered the Apple leather case until my Sena sleeve arives. A sleeve is kinda annoying sliding it out all the time.. but It seems wrong to cover up the stainless steel edges with a case.

Can I do a local backup of my iOS10 phone and restore it to the iOS11 X? Or should I upgrade my old phone first?

Anybody gonna show us pics of their new X?

Also can the True Tone function be toggled off and on in Settings?

Really terrible pics sorry, but anyway!

Gonna be wrapping up some homework while I eat at the Chick-Fil-A. If you have a place holder, drop on bye and get some breakfast, it's cold outside! I'll be here for a bit, so drop by and say hi if you are in line.

Just picked up the phone. So glad i went with silver.. the stainless steel sides look so good. If it wasn't for the notch (which isn't that big a deal) this would be my favourite looking iPhone.

Mine is in the process of restoring, but it's stunning so far. Feels a lot bigger than my iPhone 7 even if physically there's not much difference.

is it weird that I'm impressed by the new plastic wrapping on the box? For resale I can probably keep it and reuse it.

I see. A bit odd but something has to go if that notch is there.

I'd take a percentage either inside the battery icon or even ditch the battery icon. More useful for me to know its at 15% than whatever banding they use for the icon graphic


edit - this "hold your other phone close to this one to setup" is pretty great

My X doesn't seem to want to charge with an Amazon Lightning cable I've had hooked up to my PC forever. 7 charged fine with it yesterday. Oh Apple.
