Making a Memoji is the most frustrating thing. I just tried three god drat times making a Memoji and all three times failed so I give up. First time I swiped down to open my camera halfway through and poof all progress just disappears when you leave the Memoji maker. Second time I accidentally swiped up and there goes everything too. Third time I accidentally pressed the power button when I was physically switching phones to use the selfie camera and yeah all your choices are gone.

Fooled me once … twice … thrice … I’m done.

Kramering around the Memoji interface and I accidentally open the camera and poof. I slide up by accident again and my Memojis lost again. Bumping off the walls, I press the power button during setup and lost all progress. “drat you crapple!” I exclaim as I slide out the window.

Netflix? 4k 60FPS iPhone video? https://www.nytimes.com?

The YouTube app will let you select resolution unlike Netflix so find a good 4k video to show. I like Doug DeMuro so here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnyPtKQKP3Y

They're really nice, I wasn't expecting this much of an improvement over 6S.


I spent an hour last night making shortcuts.


Only downside so far is I can't reinstall iBird West. )=

Apple doesnt support the youtube 4k codec, on purpose, because Google makes it. Same with the Apple TV 4K- it doesn’t support youtube either. Oh Apple.

LMAO holy loving poo poo you’re holding it wrong all over again, this time with our most expensive SKU, which lacks a feature from our second cheapest SKU.

Also, our Xr (that is pointless compared to just keeping the X around like Apple have done for every single iPhone / iPhone S iteration) doesn’t have 3D Touch, a feature our cheapest SKU has.

A lot of fart huffing happening in Cupertino these days.

I’m glad they made the XR, with its larger display and appealing color selection, and sold it for $750 instead of continuing to sell the X for $900.

Does that vid cap at 1080? You need 4k uploaded videos to view at 4k.

Your best bet is probably Netflix, it has 4K HDR content on the Max and it looks super good.

Amazon Prime video also has some 4k stuff that should work.

Nice, apple completely lost my wifes phone which she ordered through the apple upgrade program. And instead of contacting me like they said they would, they just issued a refund and placed a fake return order on her account. And the apple website is blocking her from re-ordering.

Have you tried just walking into a store and complaining? The silver lining here is that the order is refunded. They can probably release a phone for you.

No. It’s not. Anything larger than a 5 is worse and the further it gets from that form factor the worse it is. Unless you’re a sadist, of course.

That’s still subjective. The Xs is objectively larger than the 5, which you are of the opinion is the ideal form factor. That is the definition of subjective. You apparently feel like form factor is the most important aspect of a phone and that it trumps speed and performance bumps in a phone. That’s fine, but that is not objective.

Apple Stores still have a ton of stock. Even carrier stores have a handful too. The XS and XS Max definitely didn’t have the fanfare and clamor that precious phone had. Either that, or everyone realized how easy ordering online is and did that.

Exactly.

Personally I did anything narrower than the Plus models borderline unusable as the keyboard ends up too narrow.

I’ve been doing S launches for years and I’ve never had a problem with getting an S year device without a preorder by just walking into a store with no line and buying one. I think it’s just the S-phenomenon and not any indictment of the device itself.

I could be wrong though and maybe this is the phone that kills Apple.

As weird as it sounds it takes a while for your phone to process all the search responses, even the set menus. So just wait a bit and it should work in a day or so when it’s done crunching everything.

I had a 7+ and loathed the fact that you couldn't disable the rotatable home screen. Like what's the point? I've never wanted my home screen in landscape, not a single time. The only use case I could think of is people who have their phones constantly mounted sideways in their cars.

First Forbes article I've read that wasn't total clickbait poo poo. I knew something looked a bit off in iOS 12, starting with the badge icons/bubbles that weren't quite as red as usual. Can't say it's "ruining my display with a poor calibration" though...
