next year they'll make touchid work through the screen and then brag about how innovative they're being and also about how they're giving their customers more options

it has wireless charging though, so now you'll be able to charge all your favorite coffee shops and airports when they implement it in 2080!

you won't need cords again! (except you will)

not gonna lie I was going into this ready to put money down on a x but the delay is going to give me a lot of time to rethink that

I'm on a 6 so if I split $1k over 3 years' worth it's not *too* bad

tbf, touch id will do that seemingly at random too, it's not just the first time the phone is turned on

idk if it's a security feature or just sloppy programming but it'll happen a couple times a month without me ever shutting off my phone

looks like yet another excellent year to own an SE

i still use a 5s that i've yet to see from apple a compelling reason to upgrade from

also, steve would have taken all the means of producing (including killing the engineers who worked on them) the SE/6s/6s+/7 and melted it to slag and only then announced the X

I think it requires a passcode once every so many days or when you haven't unlocked it in 12 hours or so

whatever the numbers are I always need to enter the passcode in my work phone on Monday

A smaller number lets more light in so you can have faster shutter speeds and/or less noise. It also has a shallower depth of field so background stuff gets blurred out more.

A bigger number lets in less light so you have to have the shutter open longer and/or more noise. It has a deeper depth of field so more stuff will be in focus.

i see, so 2.4 (the x one) is a bit better for lovely on the go "funny thing is happening" photos
