Netflix. Supported videos will have a marker next to the title.

Edit: Oh! I forgot the important thing, you need to be on their Premium tier that allows access to 4K and HDR content. Sorry!

I would say that I’ve annoyed my wife with the Animojis but she thinks they are are hilarious and can’t stop laughing at them.
IPX review: device is pretty awesome, still getting used to the loss of the home button but I think the new navigation adaptations are pretty great along with that sweet, sweet OLED screen.
It’s so much easier to pocket than my old 7+ it kind of feels like I forgot my phone.

Do you have any digital iTunes movies? Or Vudu, Amazon, or the other Movies Anywhere participants?

Apple will give you free upgrade* to 4k/HDR if it was bought through them or linked to Movies Anywhere.

Even if you don't have active purchases yet I think you can still link all your accounts together and get 4 free movies which includes 4K HDR versions of Lego Movie and the newest Bourne.


*If the movie has a 4K version on iTunes. Annoyingly Disney/Marvel/Star Wars are the big holdouts for offering 4K on iTunes.

They will send as a video MMS to green people.

I got this charger and it seems fine. My house hasn't burnt down, so that's good. Micro-USB though it doesn't come with a charging brick. Don't care about the latter, since I just wanted to plug it into my Anker multi-charger thing and it's working great.

8, 8+, X, and Apple TV supports HDR content from Netflix

you're right that Netflix needs you to subscribe to the 4K tier to get access to HDR content
but there have been people ITT who think their iPhone X can display 4K content
it's seriously disingenuous ! maybe i'm a pedantic rear end in a top hat. it's fine. there certainly have been goonier goons. at least i'm trying to spread truth.

There is HDR, and then there is Planet Earth 2 HDR. The first will make you think "eh, this looks better" and the second will make you think you've never actually seen decent color on a display before.

Blue Planet 2 is supposed to get a UHD HDR release too, if you can get it through iPlayer (because you live in the UK) see if the stream is HDR, I haven't actually been able to find a good answer to that question.

Yeah it's pretty automatic. The TV> iTunes Video menu in settings has some options for quality and HDR but mostly Apple will stream the best quality your isp can handle. But you need the Apple TV 4K (and a 4K TV) to get 4K/HDR instead of HD/HDR on the X.

Apparently the super limited stock rumors were kinda unfounded, so you might be able to find one if you call around tomorrow. If not then, probably within a week.

On games (or just in general) is there a way to get rid of the... grip bar or whatever you call it? I understand where to grab from for home button functions , I don’t need the annoying visual cue.

It should disappear on its own in full screen apps like games or movies. It might just take a bit for everyone to update for the new screen stuff in iOS 11.

edit: in other cases you’ll be stuck with it

I'm absolutely stoked with this phone so far and I think my one and only complaint is that photos and videos aren't as immersive in landscape compared to the plus. But hell if I'd ever go back to a plus just for that.

Oh, and there's noticeably more ghosting in text if you scroll fast (especially the big bold text in News app) compared to LCD iPhones. Not a huge deal, though.

Edit: this seems to only be a thing with pure black text on a light/white background.

Also looking forward to iOS 11.X where they add a "Hide Home Bar Indicator" toggle in Accessibility.

After playing around with the X for a bit in store I gotta say the fast app switching with the home bar is more of a draw to me than the camera or the design or whatever else there is. It's so buttery smooth!

No one really lamenting the loss of TouchID. Is it not really missed and this concern was overblown? Not a big difference when getting phone out of pocket or while sitting on the table flat?

It works better than I thought it would. I did have some trouble when setting it up yesterday at my desk so we will see if the laying flat thing might be a problem, but overall I’ve been impressed.
