    Slip case that fits 8 plus with leather case

    I have been using all my iPhones naked over the years and only use a Shocksock slip case for transportation. With an 8 plus purchase that has a glass back that I'd need to protect with an Apple leather case, this setup won't fit in the Shocksock slip case designed for the 8 plus. Long shot but...

    Do iPhone Plus models still stutter due to downsampling under iOS 12?

    I’m trying to decide between a refurbished 8 plus and X and one factor for me is whether the plus models still suffer from stutters in animations etc. when compared to their smaller counterparts (and the X), or whether the leaps in GPU performance since the 6 Plus combined with iOS 12 means this...

    iPhone X Screen width of an iPhone Xmax

    I note Apple only shows the diagonal size of iphones. In the specification it gives the external width and height of iphones. I am trying to find the maximum screen width between an 8+ and a Xmax. I could not find that information. Does anyone know which one has a wider screen? Since moving from...

    iPhone 8/Plus AiUP - from 8 Plus to 8?

    I'm a year into my plan with the 8 Plus. I thought I read the fine print saying I can upgrade annually to the current or immediately-prior year model. But when navigating through the process on Apple's website, only the Xs, Xs Max, or (soon) Xr are my upgrade options. Any reason why the 8...

    iPhone XS Max iPhone XS Max too big?

    I currently have an 8 Plus and want to upgrade to either the XS or XS Max. I can use my 8 plus in one hand but it concerns me that the screen goes all the way to the edge. I just don't know if I can reach that far all the time. I love having the wider screen but I am starting to get a little...

    iPhone Messages are double sending?

    Ever since ios12 I’ve been having problems with messages. They are sending as text and as imessage says my recipients, same with receiving it. I get the same message as imessage and as a regular text. I’ve attached a screenshot. I don’t know if it’s an ios 12 thing, but I didn’t have this issue...

    iPhone 8/Plus 8 plus rough/raised edges?

    Does the 8 plus normally have raised/rough edges where the glass meets the metal frame? On the back I can feel an edge, assuming its the plastic gasket between the glass and metal band but after using the seamless 7 plus this doesn't feel great on the hand. The front glass blends into the...

    iPhone 8 plus 256gb Bluetooth issues

    Since I upgraded to my 8 plus I have been noticing some Bluetooth issues. My LG platinum headset sometimes loses connection and my 14 Maxima and 16 Murano drops in and out. I was wondering, has anyone else experienced any Bluetooth issues and if so do you have a fix? I’m assuming this will be...

    iPhone 8 Plus Battery Case suggestions?

    I just got my 8 Plus and I am a heavy user so I need a battery case. I had the Apple "Smart Battery Case" for my iPhone 7 and HATED it. It peeled, cracked and was a disaster at the end of my carrier's upgrade. That being said this is what I would like to have with the case: Lightning...
