That should be the case but weirdly Chase and Citi did actual updates that change wording in their app terms and settings menus to Face ID, but they just didn't change the UI. So weirdly all their graphics and menus listing Touch ID correctly now say Face ID but the screen size is old school

iPhone X | OT | Hello Future | November 3

when I was restoring my apps to the X, I opened Tweetbot for the first time and it read my face, got my password from keychain and just logged me in without any interaction
I was sold on FaceID in that moment
Has Squaretrade said how they are going to handle shattered back glass? Will you just have to pay the deductible on a complete replacement?
Yes, they say you take it to the Apple Store and they will refund you the difference when you send them the receipt.
After talking to a couple of people who used Squaretrade, I'm going to go ahead and sign up over AppleCare+.
Still an extra step and feels weird pulling down the notification when in reachability.
Speaking of which, landscape mode is really weird for control center. Like it's... at the very corner of the right side with no visual cue of the location.
I thought I'd hate losing the battery percentage, but I actually prefer not seeing it now. I used to pay close attention to the number going down and wonder what app was causing the battery to deplete. Now I find myself just relaxing and enjoying the phone.
I do think a hybrid mode would be cool though, replacing the battery icon with a percentage when it starts to get pretty low, like 20%.
Ok it finally left Korea but I don't think it'll make it to Canada in a day so I think it will still be on the 14th. Man this sucks.
I just got mine. The contextual swipe up to exit apps is retarded. I have been frustratingly stuck in apps several times trying to figure it out (for example, in Netflix). A system wide swipe up from the lightning connector side as a home button would have been much better imo.
Earlier on today I accidentally clicked on the wrong app in the App Store, and when the Touch ID prompt popped up (I'm on a 6) I hit cancel and was safely able to avoid purchasing it. If I'd had Face ID would that have fired and purchased the app without me having the option to decline it?
You have to double press the power button to confirm purchases
you have to double tap power button and then face id to purchase
When purchasing an app with iPhone X , it asks you to double tap the side button after you press buy to make sure you want to buy the app. Once you double press, Face ID authenticates you and the app download begins
So you tap the box with the price, then the confirm thing comes up and then you double tap the power button to trigger the faceid?
Edit: Ok that last comment cleared it up. Thanks. Now all you have to worry about is someone doing that and then pointing the phone at you and saying "look at this" to trick you into buying an app, ha.
A quirk I've run into with my X. On my 7 Plus, running iOS 7, when I would AirPlay something--anything, regardless of app--it would show up in the 'media' portion of control center. That doesn't appear to be the case on the X, for some reason? This morning, for example, I'd been playing a Netflix movie for my kid to be distracted by in the morning, and when I AirPlay'd MSNBC to my Apple TV, the Netflix app was still the one in control of the 'media' part in control center, despite no longer being in control. Anyone else?
Unless I am understanding wrong, that 69$ a year charge is after the initial coverage period is up, so after 2 years.
What? The swipe up from the bottom is system wide.
Unless you mean orientation wise? In which case it makes more sense to always be from the bottom of the current position, not always from the lightning connector.
You are right it probably is the least elegant aspect of the new UE. But the hack thing of it still feels satisfying, and it takes one second to process. Litterally one second.
It can be annoying/difficult to activate in landscape orientation.
So I remember in the old dark days of batteries, it was a bad idea to leave your device on a charger all day, or always be charging it when it wasn't low throughout the day. Is that still the case today? Reason I ask is because I got a wireless charging pad for my desk at work, and my instinct is to just set my phone on that during the day while I'm working. Is that gonna be bad for the battery over time though?
Any app in particular? I've honestly had zero issue with it. Are you using a case or something?
In addition to this, is it bad for the battery to constantly be putting it on and off that wireless charger throughout the day?
Got my 256GB Silver (UK) today, this product is absolutely amazing. The industrial design is phenomenal, I love the stainless steel (reminds me of OG iPhone), the UI is super snappy, swipe based multitasking is superb. Face ID works like magic, I love how it shows only that there is a message until I look towards the phone. Best product Apple has ever made.
Yeah, the Now Playing widget is the glitchest part of iOS11 for me bar none. I've found that if you force quit the app that's hogging it it sometimes goes back to where it should be
Yeah, I received my silver IPhone X today. This thing is so beautiful and face id is completely transparent. Good job Apple
Current batteries measure their health by discharge cycles, not charge cycles. So plug in whenever you want, it's fine. Doesn't make a difference. Also the phone will stop charging at 100% anyway even if you leave it plugged in. More information:

What is the deductible on a back glass repair, though? Squaretrade doesn't seem to list deductibles on their website, which is weird to me. They just say stuff like "the most common deductible is $99" or "the lowest deductible is $25".
Which basically also means that if you casually keep placing your phone on a wireless charger instead of just a table, you will discharge and use your battery less, theoretically giving it a longer life.
Awesome, thank you!
And that info on the way it counts a cycle is super interesting, I had no idea.
You mean that it only shows the content of the message when you look at it. It should still show the "locked' notification.
I really liked that but have since turned it off. I like to read the notifications when the phone is on the table, desk, or laying next to me. I only pick it up when I need to respond in some way to one of them.
Clips updated today with TrueDepth support..
1. that is impressive af. fast tracking gives a slight blur, but moderate to slow tracking is nearly flawless
2. lolol my phone is hot as hell after using it for just a few minutes. Can't imagine the horsepower the X uses to generate those scenes.
between Clips, selfie Portrait Lighting, and Animoji, apple is resoundingly answering the question "yeah but why does anyone need a phone that powerful?"

You're doing the new way to do DFU mode, yes? Volume up and release, volume down and release, hold side button for what feels like forever?
No Spotify update is driving me absolute bonkers. That and why does Spotify not have a widget yet?? I don't understand this.
Clips ans iZip were updated today as far as I know with my apps. It's actually the nicest surprise I have with this launch: most devs are on board with the X really fast. Nothing like the Plus back in the days, when it took 3 months for apps like WhatsApp to be upgraded.
After a day with the phone, my feelings are pretty mixed. FaceID is cool when it works but it has not worked multiple times in various conditions in a day of usage and that almost immediately makes it less good than TouchID in my experience. The home button works very well and I think that change feels pretty natural. Portrait mode is wonderful, and the speed of the phone plus the display are all really nice. Just not pleased with finnicky FaceID has been, and didn't see a way to "train" it to better recognize my face, which is unfortunate.
I mostly just use Google stuff since I also use android phones. Bummer that like only youtube and photos are updated.
Huh, cool. That's awesome (and I wish that was communicated to users!), thanks for sharing.
The best way to setup Face ID remains to scan your face holding the X the way you usually hold your phone.
