My 8+ lags in apple maps constantly.

Its like the whole app freezes for a half mile and then suddenly jumps to real time.

My wife’s phone is identical, and doesn’t do this.

Do I need to trade mine in? Or is this a new IOS11 bug?

I flood this thread with a bunch of questions about wireless charging, but does anyone know of any dangers there could be in buying this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sa...FgAAOSwTexZyyqV

It sells new for around $80, so getting it half off is very delicious sounding.

Wouldn't be surprised if they were counterfeit. Probably safer to buy it for the lowest you can find at a regular store and then use credit card price protection to match whatever shady retailer of the week is listing it for $40 new.

I'm kinda shocked there are literally 0 wireless chargers with the same level of design as the ElevationDock, Gravitas, or even Apple's lightning dock.

Bring it in to the Apple store. Sounds like something is up.

Or do a restore first to see if that fixes it.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

I forgot about the 7.5w charging speed being added. I've definitely noticed my phone getting warmer on the QI charging (nothing concerning). They're not going to just open the 15w charging probably because there's so many shady QI type charging devices they don't want poo poo blowing up or who knows. Surprised if the X didn't get it at some point...


iOS 11.2 Supports Faster 7.5W Charging on iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X From Qi-Based Wireless Charging Accessories

Early testing shows 7.5W ‘fast’ wireless charging has small effect on Qi charging speed

no reason he shouldn't but I've encountered a lot of jailbreak-esque bugs in ios11 that I'd never seen before. Random lock ups, hang ups, crashes, having to force restart, etc. It's definitely gotten better.

Is the Zagg Invisible Shield still the thread choice for screen protector?

Guess I'm a sucker for paying $40 for it at a Verizon store (it's half that on Amazon) but I sure like its warranty, plus the sales staff at the store applied it on for me for free.

It's also a zillion times better than the protector that came with my Otterbox Defender, it was only a year old but was getting cloudy and scratchy. I tore the lovely one out of the Defender and slipped my 7 in with the applied Zagg shield and it fit great.

Is ios 11 offloading full res photos to iCloud really quickly? A photo I took like a few hours ago already got offloaded. I mean it's fine to quickly download the full photo if you're on WiFi but it seems WAY too soon compared to ios 10.

I'm on a 6 with about 10 gigs free and it offloads everything the second I lock my phone.

I don't think anything you mention is intentional behaviour, but the behaviour is repeated among other complaints.

They’re considered cosmetic damage, so no. Maybe if you can convince them it’s a single hairline crack.

Permissions problems most likely. Try from a new admin user or quit iTunes and rename the ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ folder to force iTunes to re-create it, then quit iTunes again and paste the backup in the new folder it auto-generates.

I have to very occasionally fix something on my wife's phone and it's deeply confusing and annoying to remember there is a button. I still can't believe how much I like swiping up in almost every context (except games, more games need to get on that grab bar needs to be touched twice to work setting). I thought there was a chance when I ordered the phone I would wind up returning it due to lack of home button.

How is the iPhone SE holding up in terms of speed and smoothness? My work phone is a 6 and it is passable on iOS11, since the SE is basically a 6S with a lower-resolution screen I'd think it would be pretty decent still.

In related news, has anyone returned their iPhone Upgrade Program phone? I know I don't get my old phone back, but I'm wondering if I get hit with a fee or bill or have to pay the whole loan back for my old phone if I do so. After a few days of use, I'm just not in to the X that much...it doesn't handle any better than the plus phones in use, and it feels way too clunky. Not the experience I want for one-thousand one-hundred and ninety-eight

Unfortunately an encrypted itunes backup is still the only way to migrate every single byte and config setting from one phone to a new one. icloud gets you close but not all the way there.

Anyone recommend a wireless charging case for the SE? Looking at these two:
1.) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZMHNQ9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1N4WP3MIY63S2&psc=1
2.) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EKAC292/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1V61FRI3EHAVO&psc=1

I'm leaning towards 2 since I already have a case I like but I guess I'm concerned about being able to remove the plug if I ever need to charge the phone with a cord.

For what it's worth, the phone sits on my desk 80% of the time. I take it with me when I work remotely and I have a Qi charger at home and at the office.
