You cannot, the APFS volume container uses that space for its other helper partitions, which you cannot delete.
I also concur with everything else that was said. On MBP5,5 the small and medium versions play correctly in High Sierra, but the large version (linked below) does not, in Safari and Firefox. It also doesn't play correctly in Quicktime as seen above, but it does play correctly in Chrome and vlc.

The ironic thing though is that in Chrome, the page doesn't render this part. It just skips the X and the video and jumps straight to the still picture of the phone.
I'm currently running the 17A362a GM Build of High Sierra on an APFS volume running on my MacBook, specifically a 2.4 GHz MacBook 5,1, and when the battery runs flat the machine can't restore the sleep image it creates when going to sleep.
When reconnected to power it will start up without the start chime so it knows it's supposed to boot from the sleep image however it then starts into the APFS Helper partition, runs through the boot routine and when it tries to start macOS it just restarts - with the start chime - and boots into macOS without recovering the sleep image.
I don't think this is an issue specific to this machine or this specific build of High Sierra. I suspect this to be an issue with the APFS boot routine.
Is this a known issue with the APFS method and will there be a fix for this coming up?

Interesting. I don't have this issue on a 2.0 GHz MacBook5,1, but I'm using an HFS+ install. I'm curious, have you tried this with HFS+, or with a reinstalled APFS method?
Upgrade by all means (start with SSD first).
Upgrading to an SSD should be considered a priority. It's more important than upgrading RAM nowadays (unless it's a machine intended for daily use and you have very little RAM, like 2GB or 4GB). It will yield more benefits and a bigger boost in every day usage in a broader range of activities (from OS booting time, to launching apps, opening files, etc). You'll see and feel it instantly. You'll have no doubts where your investment went.
It will even help with low amount of RAM (should not be considered a substitute for upgrading the RAM itself, but rather a temporary band-aid). In simple words: when system lacks the RAM it needs, it makes use of a swap space (on Unix, so Macs too) / page file (on Windows) - it puts whatever it wanted to put in RAM on your disk instead. Saving to and reading from disk is a much slower operation than using RAM, so upgrading to an SSD will help in that regard, as they are much faster than HDDs. There still will be a performance penalty, but it will be less painful.
This is a universal advice, doesn't matter what OS version or even what platform you're using. It can be a Mac with Yosemite, it can be a PC with Windows 7 - the advice is equally relevant.

Shouldn't really matter if it's an officially supported Mac or not. What's more important is that you have devices that meat the requirements (e.g. minimum iPhone 6/SE, iPad mini 3, any Apple Watch) and a card in the bank that supports Apple Pay.
Don't know where you're based, but here are some useful links:
1) Banks supporting Apple Pay in Europe
2) Banks supporting Apple Pay in Asia-Pacific
3) Banks supporting Apple Pay in Canada and the Unites States
Also, if I'm not mistaken, there's little use for it on the Mac, really. Only on the web in Safari, and it's the developer that must implement support for it, it's not just automatically available wherever there's a payment on the website.
On the iPhone you can use it in stores, within apps, and on the web in Safari.
On the iPad you can use it within apps and on the web in Safari.
On the Apple Watch you can use it in stores and within apps.

Hello, I notice low CPU performances with my MacPro 3.1 (14GB Ram and SSD).
For example, using Adobe InDesign and playing mp3 files with I tunes, the mp3 files are very laggy.
The same thing does not happen on the same machine with Windows 10.
Here my Mac details:
I miss something during the install?
Thanks

"To add a card to Apple Pay, you need a MacBook Pro with Touch ID. On Mac models without built-in Touch ID, you can complete your purchase using Apple Pay on your eligible iPhone or Apple Watch: On your Mac, go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay and turn on Allow Payments on Mac."
So, you still have to authenticate with your iPhone or Apple Watch for Apple Pay transactions via Safari on your Mac.
(at least until they bring out a new keyboard for the iMac's and Mac Mini's that has Touch ID on it).
Time to update those USB install drives people! The official 10.13 release is now available, but it is build 17A365, which is a later build than the GM Candidate. The GM Candidate was 17A362a. I don't know what changed.
BTW, I believe I read that I can use the patched installer to install onto a regular supported Mac as well, right? I just wouldn't run the post install patches. I have 5 Macs to upgrade, but three of them are fully supported. It would save time to just use the same USB drive for all.

Yes, you can. Just don't run the post-install patch on the supported machines, of course.
I checked: this is Public Beta installer. The final version of High Sierra has been released.
The tool actually includes the downloader. However, you'll have to ask dosdude1 if it needs updating to get the release version.
