The only time I have problems with it is when I get the sensor wet. Maybe your fingers are weird or your phone is broken.

Have you tried adding two or three copies of the same finger? That does sound like your sensor is somehow miscalibrated or faulty.

Duckman2008 posted:If they do facial recognition with no Touch ID I will legit be angry. Fingerprint , and especially its execution on iPhone, is just extremely useful. Also, I've picked up people's Samsung phones with facial recognition and it's just weird seeing a picture of yourself to unlock the phone. Not a fan. are you just assuming it's going to work exactly like samsung phones? why does it even need to show you your face? afaik you just look at your phone and it sees you and you're done.

Matt Zerella posted:Ok. I love music, and I'm pretty interested in it's room adaptation features and apparently it sounds really really good. I want to hear more. Literally. It is a small, mono speaker, it will not sound "good" compared to any decent stereo setup with bookshelf speakers. Or just get some powered monitors and an Echo Dot to get better functionality and sound all around. It's only big feature is airplay (thus Apple Music compatibility), and you can buy 3rd party receivers for that. Krispy Kareem posted:AirPods sound the exact same as EarPods and I hurt my brain trying to shake my head so much they'll fall out (they never fall out). I think the contention is that sounding like EarPods is a positive.. it really isn't. Can see that they're worthwhile for convenience if they're comfortable at least.

How do AppleCare+ damage incidents work? Long story short, I was a dumbass and my phone fell out of my pocket while I was biking. Chips out of all four corners, some scrapes on the camera wort, and a hairline crack in the glass that runs from one of the corners to the home button. For everything else I just slapped a case on it to cover up, but that last one is a concern. I don't want to slice my finger on it if it ever gets worse (do those kinds of things get worse?) I assume you do a support appointment like normal, but is there a threshold for these kinds of things? Will they take a look and say the screen isn't obscured so deal with it? I'm not looking to flip this thing for the new ones, but I bet they'll think I am

applecare+ has a fee for screen damage, and a higher fee for 'other damage' and i believe you get 2 opportunities to pay that fee. i'm pretty sure 'other damage' includes 'i accidentally stuck my phone in an industrial blender'. at least that's the language they use here in Canada. two incidents of 'accidental damage', with a cheaper fee if it's only the screen.

That's kind of what I thought but I didn't want to drive 130mi round trip (you'd think with all the rich people around at the Mayo Clinic they'd get tons of business here but no) to the Mall of America just to be told it still works so pay full price or deal with it.

2 sonos play 1s are going to be the same price as the rumoured apple speaker and they'll sound a lot better as they're pretty decent speakers and stereo pair. They also have a room adaptive mode though it's largely pointless outside of some weird configurations, where it does then help a bit.

I sure hope they handle people on the Apple upgrade program better than last year. I'm expecting an email to go out to those in the program before preorders open inviting us to order from stock allocated to us. Sound reasonable?

I mean, even if you applied TVIV rules (which would be idiotic) then spoiler tags would be irrelevant for an already-aired program. I assume it was a poor attempt at a joke.

I'm pretty disappointed that TouchID is going to be removed from iPhone X, as it has become a pretty seamless part of the unlocking process for me. I hope FaceID ends up being similarly easy to use, but I think I'll miss being able to unlock as my phone is being pulled from my pocket.

Seems like only being able to unlock when the phone is in view of your face is likely to be less easy.

I'm kinda hoping for a Product Red iPhone 8/7S in 6 months or whatever. That red iPhone 7 is hotttt. And yeah.... maybe I'm just resistant to change but TouchID seems so much more convenient than a face unlock...

My phone takes a fair amount of abuse at work so I kind of need one. there are plenty of cases for the galaxy s8 they "work" as in they cover the parts that aren't screen and they don't fall off? they can't wrap around the phone as much obviously but i dunno they feel fine to me

I think we'll be fine since it seems like the iPhone X won't do the curved-screen thing that those Samsungs do, just have very tiny bezels. Which tbh is for the best because Android apps never seem to be designed for curved screens and the edges of the app just melt off to the sides like a Salvador Dali painting.
