    iPhoneX made in the US?

    hi, I just received my iPhone X. The serial number starts with G0, which is according to http://www.chipmunk.nl/ a manufacturing plant in the US. This information must be wrong since they are not assembling iPhones in the US, right?

    Can I share my location with a loved one using AW3 LTE?

    So just like what the title say, can I share my location to my husband using an Apple Watch series 3 LTE if I don’t have my phone with me? We always share our location through our iPhones to one another so this one would be so useful.

    iOS 10 Location Reminders Geofence Radius

    Is there a way to reduce the radius below the 328 feet for location based reminders? It's fairly annoying to keep getting reminded when I drive by a location, but don't actually stop there. If I can't reduce the radius, how about some clever workarounds. Thanks!
