Anybody updated to IOS 12? On the X battery has seen a a bit of an improvement. On my dad's 6 plus and ipad air 2 ios 12 runs smooth way faster than ios 11.

I updated today and it does seem faster.

updated it yesterday, feels snappier, and I'm sure just a placebo but the screen feels more vibrant on the X after the update

still trying to figure out how to display Google Maps in-car...I wonder if the head unit also needs an update

I'm too lazy to get Siri shortcuts to work... seems like it'll take a bit of time

you can return an iphone to the store, even after using it?

Another reason is the USB-C port is bigger than the lightning port, not by a lot but it matters.

Unlike Android phones, iPhone's have a long shelf life (battery life dependant obviously which can be replaced). The iPhone 5s which was released 5 years ago is getting iOS 12 and by all accounts of people who have installed the beta with the 5s it works great.

Lightning connectors were introduced in 2012 (iPhone 5), USB-C was finalized as a standard in late 2014(it took a while after before it was even adopted mainstream).

As for getting rid of the dongle, well just look at how popular AirPods have become.
What did Apple to before when they switched to Lightning port? :pokerface::lawl:
Its the best thing for Apple to do to make money, and to brag every year that its the "Most Advanced iPhone yet". Thats why it takes Apple all these years to put in the "new" features that Android phones have. To make money with that line.
Airpods are popular because its Apple product.. if Apple released Airpod2 with NO updated specs and just a new color, it will outsell first gen.

The max is huge lol

My friends already got it in their store already

!Aznboi128 09-22-2018 10:30 AM
After using it a day, when coming from the 6s Plus I don't find the max to be that big.

I think it's a good size, the screen is bigger for sure but I don't feel anymore awkward using it.

Nabatron 09-22-2018 11:16 AM
such a big phone with such a small battery

unit 09-22-2018 12:32 PM
i got the xs, i even find it to be a bit heavy compared to the android phone switched from.
it feels nice but when you're lazy and in bed watching vids or browsing, your hands/wrists get a bit fatigued. maybe that's a good thing so i won't play around on my phone so much during bed time.

Hondaracer 09-22-2018 12:36 PM
Two questions: how much bigger is it than a +

And how is the OLED screen?

twitchyzero 09-22-2018 02:56 PM
^ +/- 1mm l and w

hope a 256GB 11 Max next year is notch-less...wanna upgrade my mom/dad's 6+ from 2014 even if they're completely sastisfied with iOS 12 on new battery

coming from an android, I quite like the heft...subconsciously thinking i'm getting more for what I paid for :pokerface:

basically the same, in your hands you won't feel a difference between the two. The only thing is the screen, its a lot bigger than your + phone and it can be a bit awkward to use. For example dictation is on the bottom right and if using my left hand its a bit of a reach to get there.

The OLED is good, coming from LCD screen you will see a big difference in contrast. I watched Black Panther on the phone and damn, was a great experience.

Got wife a XS Max from Portland... was gonna pay tax for the difference for my $800 tax-free allowance...

Convo went:
CBSA: What's the total value of goods?
Me: an iPhone... 1250 US
CBSA: How long were you gone for?
Me: 12 days
CBSA: Bye.

Tax-free FTMFW! :megusta:

unit 09-24-2018 12:45 PM
did you actually save any money after exchange?

Hehe 09-24-2018 06:48 PM
1250USD is roughly 1620CAD, BC price after tax is a bit under 2k from a quick math.

So, about 300CAD saving.

Hondaracer 09-24-2018 07:08 PM
Is it a 64GB?

Check everyday at 8AM sharp. That's when the in-store pickup system refreshes its inventories.
