It is but it depends on your bank. I had to call my CU and activate apple pay on my account before it would work.

It asks you during set up of your phone if you want to use the card on your apple account for apple pay.

Damn, this is good coffee.
Am I right to assume that the demo units didn’t have 3rd party apps because they weren’t updated in time?

Phone looked and felt nice, swipe up to return home feels natural, but I don’t like the additional time to multitask. Still prefer my neurotic fast taps with the home button. Guess I won’t have a choice in a few years though :shobon:

My phone showed up 15 minutes before I had to leave! So of course I'm setting it up as quickly as possible because what am I going to do, leave the house with a crappy iphone 7??

How long has the "use old phone near new phone" method of setup been a thing? That's pretty cool

I use Apple Pay almost exclusively with the watch to the point I forgot how to use it on the phone the last time I forgot to bring my watch for lunch.

Apple Pay owns is what I'm getting at.

My bank got Apple Pay a month or two back, I've only used it on my phone once but loads of times on the watch. It's so so good.

most will just let apple put the request through and activate it without that, which is nice. perks of having total control of the os/hardware stack and a history of clearly making people aware of what they're agreeing to (itunes terms of service aside); banks can pretty much trust apple not to sign people up for poo poo silently

sliding the home indicator to switch apps instantly is pretty sharp tho (for 99% of what people are using the multitask switcher for) and will probably save you a ton more time in the long run. i'm probably the only person who cares about it but i never really liked the short delay imposed by on the 'go home' action by the system having to wait for a potential double tap on the home button. actually who am i kidding, i just never liked knowing about it in a 'you are now breathing manually' way when perturbed by the slowness of my older iphone

can you still swipe apps away on the X multitasking switcher? i'm reading reviews that are saying it's now a long press and a tap of the delete icon to get rid of them. if so that is the closest thing i'm going to get to my 'deliver a small electric shock to the people in the habit of swiping away all their apps for no reason' and i love it

Turns out I had a second micro USB cable from my CODE keyboard

I'm pretty sure that wireless charging is the best thing ever now

It is kinda funny throwing my iPhone down on a Samsung logo

Also, the ladies at Best Buy DO NOT LIKE when you open the products on the floor
"I wanted to make sure this is the one that stands up! You sell a nearly identical one that lies flat!"
She's like "... yeah. the box is thinner on the flat one. don't open boxes though, even we're not allowed to open them"

so if you go to Best Buy to buy a charger, the thick Samsung box is the one that stands up

I should have done a local back up, iCloud restore is basically frozen. I have gigabit and it has barely restored 3 apps in the last 30 minutes

I'm literally on the Hei, Hello, Hallo screen as I update to 11.1 and my phone just arrived, but the screen has kind of a mild pinkness to it. Is this just like nightshift in effect or something? Or some other hue adjustment?

It's the “True Tone” feature detecting the white point in your room. I was concerned too when I was setting mine up. You can turn it off later.

Edit: I see you figured it out already

Has anyone on the Apple upgrade program got their return mailer for their old phone yet? I have the new phone and mailing instructions that were emailed to me, but no mailer yet.

8 hours now and none of my apps have installed after restoring. All stuck on waiting or loading.

I did an hour long chat session with Apple, after being handed off twice a “senior advisor” told me it can sometimes take a few days for apps to restore so *shrug*

Very frustrated with this.

So, as far as I can tell nobody at Apple bothered to update its own Clips app and nobody there noticed.

If when I encrypt a backup to iTunes and it doesn't ask me for a password, but then I try to restore and it asks for a password, and it's neither my iTunes password or my phone's 6 digit pin, what the gently caress IS it?!

There is no way to recover your information or turn off Encrypt Backup if you lose or forget the password.

When the 5 came out almost no apps supported the aspect ratio for months. It’s nice that the vast majority of what I’ve tried so far already supports the weird rear end X ratio. Yay!

loving love this phone so far. The screen is fabulous. I don’t even really notice the notch save for in full screen video, even then not a huge deal. FaceID isn’t perfect tho. I often unlock my phone laying on my desk and that angle is too much for it. I have to tilt it up a little. I’m sure I’ll get use to it, but it’s a bit of a thing right now.

Yo Clips is awesome. I have a zillion little movie things of my kid I’ve made to send to the grandparents.

It’s a colossal pain in the rear end to figure out and has a real unintuitive UI but the results can be great.
