    iPhone 7/8 plus or new X as a 35mm negative film scanner

    I know it is an odd question but I thought that there must be some analogue enthusiasts in here! Scanning 35mm negatives with a DSLR is a viable strategy for a high resolution and optimal way to make negatives into positives and digital files. I wonder whether or not an iPhone with dual lens...

    What TrueDepth camera can bring us

    As I mentioned in another post, most people think of the TrueDepth camera system as faceId and poop animojis; however the technology has the potential to be used in many other useful ways other than the dark and scary things people think of. I imagine: -Facial gestures. You're given a...

    Practicing for Preordering

    Hello, Very anxiously awaiting 3AM EST on 10/27 to pre-order the iPhone X. I've recently started practicing the pre-order process (based on the current ordering process for the iPhone 8) and I want to take as many steps as I can to make the process as quick as possible - given the frequent...

    Is this a bumper?

    Trying to find a frame/bumper case so I can protect the edges but have the front/back 'naked'. Does anyone know if this is one or does it just have a clear back? https://www.incipio.com/iphone-x-octane-light-case-feature

    iPhone X Stereo speakers?

    does the iPhone x even have stereo speakers? With that big notch in the top you’d sure think so. I haven’t seen anything about it though.

    Magnetic Mounts and Qi Charging

    As many are, I’ve long been a fan of the Scosche Magnet plate mounts, as well as vehicle-specific magnet mounts like ClearMounts to keep my iPhone easily visible when in the car. In planning for the iPhone X, I’m wondering if anyone has yet solved the likely issue users with metal plates on...

    Will iphone X be on display at Apple stores prior to ordering?

    Most times, the phone is displayed at an Apple event and bookings open right after that. This time we know there is much time lag between the time Apple demonstrated the iPhone X and the start of booking. Will Apple display the iPhone X in stores in the next few weeks so that potential buyers...

    Is there a point to waiting out for iPhone X?

    Preorders for the phone are gonna be wild, and based on what happened last year with the 7+, will there be any available in store on release day? What are your thoughts?

    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.

    IUP or 0% APR Credit Card for 15 months

    I'm gonna buy the iPhone X and i was wondering the best option to purchase. Should i go with the IUP and risk not getting it for months as there is a credit check/approval process to wait for when checking out (not a current IUP customer.) Or would a 0% APR credit card for 15 months be a...

    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...

    Breathable cases with great protection (8P or X)?

    Recommend me a case that best fits the bill for either the iPhone 8 Plus or the X (I'm not yet sure which one I'll choose)? So I've always had a really great Spigen case (the Slim Armor) with rock-solid protection of my phone, usually surrounded by TPU and then clasped on by a colored...

    Color/storage size iPhone X easiest to get?

    I am curious based on previous years, does anyone have an idea of which color and storage size of the iPhone X might be easiest to get? For example last year it was hard to get the Jet black iPhone. I want to have the color and size of the iPhone X favorited in the  store App so it is faster on...

    What would you have preferred a Top bezel or The Notch?

    I see people complaining about the Notch on the iPhone X but would you have really preferred a whole top bezel like the Galaxy S8? Or are you saying you want no front facing cameras at all? (Say bye to all your selfies) I would rather have the smaller notch than a top bezel. So I love the...

    Would you pay over the odds for the X if it's sold out?

    If the IPhone X is sold out soon after it's released as rumours would suggest, would you pay over the odds to get one, say from eBay (other online market places are available)?

    iPhone warranties - US-UK

    It's possible I will be in the USA for the iPhone X launch and wondering whether to pick up a handset whilst there. Would be coming back to the UK but I can't seem to find what warranties (if any) are offered on handsets when sending for repairs in a country you haven't the purchased it in...

Enjoy https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208137 Edit: An official USB-C to Lightning cable is of course needed (third-party...
