Josh Lyman posted:I finally got a chance to go to the AT&T store to exchange my launch day XS with the screen banding in the right edge. It was within their 30 day return window so I was okay, right? Wrong, the return window is 14 days so I missed it by 2 days. And Apple will only do a screen replacement, not a swap, but obviously they don’t have any XS screens sitting around so it’ll take another week. That’s fine but I’m worried they’re going to screw up the waterproof seals during the screen replacement. What’s the best way to test that after? Take the phone with me into the shower one night? Super late reply but Apple likely won’t have screens in stock yet and you’ll get a full phone replacement. It takes a month or two for the supply chain to catch up. Source: I just did this yesterday for a small chip I managed to get in my screen somehow and I used to be a genius.

Can confirm, working well. I'm now holding the 5ghz band on WiFi. Can't comment on the charge bug as I was never hit with it.

Man I am loving the XS Max. It's just SO good in the hand. I use a saddle brown leather case when I'm doing something more sketchy or active, but at work and at home I'm raw dogging this bad boy. The feeling of it is straight up luxury, and watching video on it is so good that I usually don't even bother grabbing my 12.9 inch ipad pro. Super pleased. My only complaint so far is that it's needed to be reset a few times already, where Face ID stops working right or Carplay starts messing up. A reset always works perfectly, but it feels weird having to reset such a premium device that is otherwise so fast and capable. hopefully this will get ironed out in future updates.

Sleep/Power button trick worked with this evening's robocall. Thanks for that yall. Everyone I know with robocall problems just defaults to ignoring any number not associated with a contact, and then reading voice mail if a message is ever placed. A lot of people my age have been doing that for a while now, but it seems like the robocallpocalypse changed the behavior of our parents too.

Does anyone here gently caress with PopSoccets? I've been thinking about going full teen and getting a nice clear or smoky case and then popping an all black PopSoccet on it.

Can confirm, I've gotten a similarly bitchy response from an Apple Store about good-will exceptions when you buy from a non-Apple place like a phone carrier.

I have a PopSoccet on my phone, which is just a hair smaller than the XS Max. It's pretty much a necessity imho, but I do have smallish hands (for comparison I find my Switch's Joycon perfectly comfortable to hold in one hand without the wrist strap attached).

That is absolutely not standard practice, go again and hopefully get a different genius or go to a different store entirely. Or ask to talk to a manager.

I love the PopSocket why are you people spelling it "PopSocccet"? You can use a phone one handed, mount it to your car, use it as a stand, rotate the phone to any angle to watch sweet YouTube videos, and the best part is you can read forums one handed. Great for the Kindle as well. MarcusSA posted:I don’t carry a purse so no. How tight are your pants?

Well I tried to update it and it now says press home to update, and his home button is broken which is what started this whole ordeal apparently. Is there still a thing about non genuine touchID sensors causing problems? He's had it repaired before by a third party so it's likely not genuine. I told him to take it to Apple and get it properly repaired, pay the repair fee and that gives him the best chance at getting them back. He's reluctant to do so and prefers his local guy. And yeah he's getting an XS this week so I already explained to him the value of iCloud storage. He's now aware.

But AFAIK you can’t do a carrier installment plan through Apple, which is what everyone does these days. They do? I hear a lot more about the Apple Upgrade Program which is available on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint & T-Mobile and which gives you a 24-month 0% loan for the phone in addition to the ability to upgrade at 1 year which is more often talked about.

Is managing passcodes centrally for corporate phones a new thing? My wife has to change hers every 6 weeks and managed to forget the passcode. I thought she might be boned, but her IT department was able to reset it. I question whether this is new because that would have made the whole San Bernardino/FBI/Apple backdoor hack thing a whole lot easier to resolve. Also, pop sockets are awesome and good except you can't wirelessly charge.They need to make a cradle with a pop socket indention.

It's kind of amusing that the large cell phone design is so bad that most people feel that they need to buy knobs that stick out of their phones in order to be able to hold them. It's really too bad that Apple isn't making new products with the iPhone 5s/SE or even the iPhone 6/7/8 form factor, and is moving towards selling only large phones.

One of the arguments for cracking it was that it was government property and he had no expectations of privacy. But it's not like city governments are at for forefront of technology so even if corporate management was possible back in 2016 I doubt they would have made that leap yet.

It’s not so black and white though, like you can enjoy having the larger screen/form factor and be okay needing a pop socket to easily reach the top of the screen. A solution doesn’t have to only be smaller phones.
