    Don't shoot me, but I'm an Android phone user. (I've used Macs at work for 25 years so I'm fluent in Apple, though.) I'm interested in changing that and moving to an iPhone. I can get a "new in box" ... actually it's an Apple Care replacement phone that the person who received it is selling...

    Bluetooth transfer to PC

    Is there a way to transfer files (photos, videos, etc.) wirelessly from an iphone 7 plus to a windows 10 PC and vice versa (without using airdrop, itunes, and wifi). Only using bluetooth (like how many android phones do by paring devices).

    Any good belt holsters without flaps?

    I’m looking for a holster/pouch for my iPhone 7 Plus. I want something similar to the PDAir (with belt clip, but without a flap), that will fit with a relatively bulky case (the one they sell that fits with a “slim case” is too tight). Anyone know of any like that?

    Here's the thing: my father is a heavy user and his 7 Plus usually never dips below 20 percent, but with 11.2 his battery life has discharged before the usual time. Does the X have better battery life? PS: he's not interested on the 8 Plus. Battery usage:
