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...- AppleForeigner

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.- janeauburn

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... -

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.'
