wait so was the S8 the one catching on fire or was that like the S8+ tablet version if that exists? I know they recalled them all then didn’t carriers stop supporting them at all? Like are there any S8s out there did they fix all that or just scrap that generation? All I know is what I’ve read here I mean I know one unit on fire is too many but how common was it? I think airlines banned them for a minute there? So lol

The Note 8 is the one that is $200 more than an S8+ despite being nearly identical.

I got my X today and I can see why people think FaceID is so awesome. It hadn’t even occurred to me that it’d obviously extend to stuff like my banking app or security cameras. Logging into stuff is so quick and seamless. Question Mark Mound posted:As much as the better screen would be nice, I think if the cheaper X-like model still has the same awesome dual-camera stuff going on, I can't see myself not going for that one. I’m going to go out on a limb and say it won’t have dual cameras. Apple will need to differentiate regular iPhones from premium ones and even Samsung declined to go dual lenses on their regular S9 phone.

If my phone had a piece of the screen missing from the top and a home bar at the bottom that never goes away then I would return it for a refund because it is clearly broken.

I couldn't care less about the notch and don't even notice it anymore but the real annoying part about it (and getting rid of the home button) is it's just plain worse trying to get the notification panel and settings thing to come onto the screen. If they could make the notch touch sensitive so the area you could use to bring them down was basically half the width of the phone it'd sort me out.

Here’s something weird I’ve never experienced: I just took 3 pictures of one of my kids. When I go to Photos, one of the pics has the share logo grayed out, and I’m unable to send it. The edit button is gray as well. The other two are fine. Anyone seen this before?

Samsung in December: Sooooo, in hindsight packing C4 into the notch was a bad idea, so we're gonna recall all our phones. Sorry about your dead loved ones guys, we need to rethink our anti-theft strategy.
