    Switching to iPhone from Android: Questions

    As the title suggests, I plan to switch from an android to an iPhone. I will be getting the iPhone 8 plus once it is available. My questions are: Do I have to enact the fingerprint scan (or face scan if I decide at the last minute to get an X)? Is there a way to only have an passcode and never...

    Next time around...

    I think the phone to get is going to be the successor to the X...the one released next year. Apple is going to get beat up pretty badly over this year's releases: the boring 8 with bugs, and the X with delays and even more bugs. Hold on to your current phones. Wait this cycle out.

    Samsung-Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand

    Forgive me if this was already posted. Has anyone else used this yet for the iPhone 8, 8 Plus? If so, any problems? I've read so many great and no so great with this and the new phones. Yes, "slower charging" seems to be an issue...but it's not a big concern. Plus a future update could speed up...

    App for measuring charger current

    Hi folks. With the introduction of iPhone 8 and iPhone X, I've been thinking a lot about chargers. I definitely plan to get a Qi charger this fall. I see the new iPhones will charge at 7.5W speeds using Qi. Not only do you need to buy a wireless charging pad that supports that speed, but also...

    If you pre-ordered your iPhone at midnight PST on iPhone 8 pre-order night, did you get your iPhone on release day last Friday, or did it get delayed??

    iPhone 8 sharp edges where glass meets steel

    Long story short, I've had two iPhone 8s so far. The first one was super smooth where the glass met the steel band. I had to get that phone replaced and my new phone is really sharp on the sides and is really uncomfortable to hold in contrast to the previous device. Does anyone else's device...

    EST. 5.5 Million 8 and 8 Plus Sold

    I read an article on Forbes where it’s estimated d that Apple sold 5.5 Million estimated iPhone 8 and 8 Plus over launch weekend. 5.5 Million? Really? I’m sure any other phone company would love to have this issue! 5.5 Million? Regardless of what we’re used to as far as launch weekend...

    The capabilities of the 4K with 60fps are a great feature, more so for people who do video. For the first time, it gives you slow motion in 4k. Check this out:

    iPhone 8 Scratchgate?

    Is it just me or has anyone else had an unreasonable amount of sctatches on their iPhone 8 already? I opened my phone and used it for only a few hours before I noticed a significant amount of scratches on it. Has anyone else had an issue?

    mobile hotspot on iOS 11 Sprint network using unlimited mobile data

    What kind of hack can I utilize on the Sprint network to take advantage of my unlimited data? I don't want to pay extra for Sprint's mobile data plan service. I have the iPhone 8 on iOS 11. It's not jailbroken, but I'm willing to do so if that helps? is there an app, or some way to trick the phone?

    Anyone doing pre-sign for iPhone 8 delivery?

    I'll be away most of the day, and I'd rather not wait until Saturday to pick up my package. I know it depends on the security of the area you live in, but I'm just curious if anyone is pre-signing. If so, how are you managing the 'risk.'
