Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


We use my wife’s Apple ID for our iPads and I have never really cared about it before. Now, with movies anywhere, I set it up to her iTunes account so we can watch those movies on the iPad (also, Apple gave a bunch of free 4K versions for movies).

I was wanting to set my iPhone on her account through family sharing. I checked her settings and it shows my phone as a member but no movies show up on my phone. Do I have to set up to share with her on my phone as well? Do I need to remove my phone from her account and add it again?

My man, how are we supposed to get daring fireball to pickup on these Facegate problems if you're making light of them?

Edit: Along with the stealth change about screen burn in being normal for OLEDs, Apple also mentioned that minor facial sunburns are typical also.

I loved the screen real estate on my 2 gens of pluses. I have big hands so the heft and size wasn’t a problem. That said, I recognize the ease to hold the X. I’m still not fully ok with the smaller screen, but I don’t hate it.

I’d say my bigger X issue right now is the weird use of space and margins. It annoys me how high up the keyboard is. (Although I think it may have cured my “hits return or period instead of space bar” issue.)

I also notice ghosting on safari scrolling on contrasty screens.

Same thing here after using the last few Plus phones. It also bugs me that landscape mode is worse in every way now.

White bars down the side of the screen in landscape-mode Safari? No more 1:1 ratio when watching 1080p videos? No special landscape-mode UI in certain apps?

I’ll probably still stick with the X for the OLED and Face ID but the size of the Plus never bothered me and there are tradeoffs to be made when switching from a Plus to an X.

I don’t think anyone answered this: the Apple Store will always have demo units once a product has launched. Third party retailers might wait for stock to catch up.

Likewise. I suppose this option is more so for folks with patience who also may live hours beyond reach of an Apple or carrier store.

Is this OLED screen actually known to cause “minor sunburn”?

Also, anyone who’s had the phone a full day now, any comments on battery life? My buddies Pixel 2 goes 2 days without a needed charge and I’m wondering how the 10 (not X, sorry) compares.

I also agree with not having an issue with the larger screen, but drat so far this phone seems sleek as gently caress.

Edit: grammar

lmao, I talked Joe into posting that. Apple has been so open and honest with the fact that facial similarities between siblings/twins will likely fool Face ID, but sure enough, that post is getting shared like a MOTHERFUCKER. Few things bring more joy to the internet than a perceived chink in Apple's armor.

Can someone with an X test something for me:

If you're sitting at a table and you want to unlock your phone, which is also sitting face up on the table right in front of you, can you do that without picking up the phone?

Or you can loom over it weirdly. But no, mine won’t unlock when my face is like, perpendicular to it.

Love everything about the phone even more than expected, except for the pink hue on the screen when shifting off-axis. My day one impression: this application of OLED seems no worse or better than new iPhone LCDs — the deep blacks and vibrant colors are very nice but the color shifting is not. I imagine it'll become less of a deal for me as the new phone thing goes away. Everything else about the phone rules so far (oh also except the placement of control center).

no you can't do it while it's lying down unless you get over it; you can be around 40-50 degrees off axis. i haven't tried it from a side angle, but sitting straight up, i have to angle it about 40 to 50 degrees before it unlocks. at 30-ish degrees, FaceID sees my face, but complains and says 'Face not recognized'. if you're trying Apple Pay it will stay there, not recognizing you. if you are trying to unlock the home screen, it forgets about not recognizing you, and does unlock, once you angle it more.

what.
My only issue with Face ID so far is that I have to lift my head off the pillow a bit when laying on my side in bed. But that’s whatever.

I tried to compare unlock speed with my iPhone 6s but it was too hard to time it properly so I’m just giving up and saying that it might be slower but it’s fast enough that it’s not annoying at all. Certainly faster than my iPad, which I think has the same Touch ID sensor as the 6s so what’s up with that Tim. No issues with having to look at it in some specific angle or anything to get it to register. I just pick it up and swipe up and I’m in.

The awareness stuff is really nice. My phone doesn’t go dim when I’m reading something so I can actually leave the battery saving features on without being annoyed by it. I was watching TV last night and wasn’t looking at my phone as 1Password opened and it just sat there nicely waiting for me to look at it before unlocking :3

Neat phone.

Is there a way to increase the force touch feedback? It feels quite a bit stronger on my 6s and I think that’s because I changed some setting years ago, but I can’t find it and Settings.app search is still really bad.

Ah I meant the haptic feedback. Like the little thud it makes when you 3D Touch an icon. The touch sensitivity itself is fine.

Maybe it’s never been a setting and I’m just misremembering things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
