Anyone here planning to get the X? Anyone currently in the upgrade program that has a leg up on everyone else and plan to order it on Friday?
- Fuck Apple. Cunts fucked my present 6 with that ios11 bullshit.Hayzilla
- I'd do it if it was available in canada. The fact that it includes apple-care is a big plusGnash
- didn't you just go Pixel?monospaced
- Yeah but I'm not staying with the Pixel.mg33
- The fact Applecare is included suggests it's gonna have issues!Hayzilla

Apple wants to spend $1 billion or more on TV shows, but it still doesn’t really know what it wants to do with those shows.
One thing Apple does know, though: It doesn’t want them to feature sex. Or violence. Or any of the mature stuff you can find in hit TV shows like “Game of Thrones,” “Breaking Bad” or “The Walking Dead.”
CEO Tim Cook delayed the release of its “Carpool Karaoke” show earlier this year to scrub “foul language and references to vaginal hygiene” from some episodes of the show.

@mg33 I tried the new pixel too. The old one was a lot better. Will try the new iPhone. Carphone Warehouse have plenty it seems.
- I've been switching all week. Even aside from my complaints I listed, the more I used it the more I didn't like many of the interactions.mg33
- Lots of instances of swiping and opening settings. Controlling volume is odd. Several apps rely on clicks instead of swipes.mg33
- Made appreciate the efficiency of iOS in the ways I'm so used to certain apps and their interactions.mg33
- I also compared many of my frequently used apps, like LoseIt!, Strava, Strong (workout app) and others and prefer the iOS design for it over Android.mg33

Who else got an X last night?
Sorry to disappoint the Android folks but it's getting returned this week. I gave it more time throughout the week, but in the end it wasn't going to work out. Seems the things people love about Android - customization, so many options, etc. - aren't really my thing.
I've got a ship date of Nov 17th - 24th.

Great...Apple can't even send emails without broken code, really nice placement of their logo. What a shitshow!
- people bitch about the most random ass stuffMondoMorphic
- wtf is with that logo placement thoughsarahfailin
- for the prices they have they could have better designers.********
- Almost every Apple email has the logo placed in the upper left corner.instrmntl

Apple fires iPhone X engineer after daughter’s hands-on video goes viral
https://www.theverge.com/2017/10…
Apple has reportedly dismissed an engineer after his daughter’s iPhone X hands-on video went viral on YouTube. Brooke Amelia Peterson published a vlog earlier this week, which included a trip to the Apple campus to visit her father and see an unreleased iPhone X. Peterson’s video was quickly picked up by sites like 9to5Mac, and it spread even further on YouTube.
- poor kid...
... and fuck apple... the fucking phone is all over the web already... didn't have to fire her dad even though you need your 'rules' intactPonyBoy - Yeah, firing seems a little extreme. Discipline, etc.. What a dumb move, though, she surely knew what would happen.formed
- if that's all it was...Yes, over the topcraigatkinson
- poor kid? spoilt brat more like.inteliboy
- people will do anything for their 15 minutes of fame.dorf
- Maybe she hated her dad as he spent too much time being stressed at work. Explains a lot really.Ianbolton
- She also took a video of the cafateria. When you sign in to get in theres a screen that says NO VIDEOerr

Using Pages /numbers / Keynote on ipad pro, and 'autosaving' to iCloud.
Every 5 mins or so, 'couldn't autosave the document. Quit application'. The only way is to click OK, which quite the app and loses all unsaved...
WTF is the point in auto save, or indeed a productivity app that shuts down every few mins.
Google Drive / Docs etc might not be as 'pretty', but you only have to breathe and it saves it.
- *quits* / quite! Bloody lack of context mac autocorrect. Grrcraigatkinson
- Pages crashes every 5 mins? odd.Gnash
- all the iwork apps do. Considering a clean start but the hassle...time...craigatkinson
- try a hard reboot:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appearsGnash - and make sure the apps are updatedGnash

I think the fact that google puts the cheese beneath the patty says it all
- So I was right to return the Pixel 2 because F THAT.mg33
- i think these kinda discussions just an insult to every living soul's intelligence on god's green earth. having said that, it is what it is tho.********
- one could argue that Apple's positioning of the lettuce is also incorrect, as it should be used to insulate the top bun from the tomatoGnash
- but some do use the lettuce to inhibit beef juices from soaking the bottom bunGnash
- fucking commies!_niko
- For proper melt and taste combination, the cheese is always placed on top of the meat while cooking.monospaced

Anyone else's 6 or 6+ just goto shit after this last set up of updates?... I think we're on the 3rd iteration of the new IOS as it is.
My phone locks up... gets all twitchy... things become unresponsive at times where you'll tap around wondering why nothing's happening THEN all of the sudden the fucking thing wakes up and starts popping open all the apps you just tapped on... :/
Really fucking frustrating... this recent version of IOS.
OH... the phone just opts to reboot out of nowhere every now and then too or it says it has nearly 30% power and just shuts off.
Don't get me started on the time it takes to reboot too... losing my mind w/this latest IOS update.
- Oh man. Why did you update when it's well known that that would happen?monospaced
- yeah... feeling pretty dumb about it. :/PonyBoy
- The point is that it SHOULDN'T happen. Not on devices they say are supported for the upgrade. It's pretty much the same thing on a 7 as well.ETM
- yup. sucks shit._niko
- I still have a 5s. Have up updated yet...
My question is... how the hell do I make the update notification to never show up again?pango - Ever since the update my 6's battery is shit.fooler
- My 5 couldn’t do the update. Still runs great tho. My iPad tho, it has the update. It runs like shit now.dopepope
- Same here. This is the buggiest thing I've ever seem from Apple. Also my phone has never died on my with nightly charges, now it dies daily. DAILY!SteveJobs
- Well, bricking your "old" phone is a nice way to nudge you to a new phone isn't it?rabattski
- my 4s is still kickingGnash
- @pango, google it ... they hide it deep in iCloud settings ... the update is downloaded already and it's notifying you to run the install ... just delete itmonospaced
- My 6 has all these issues since the first iOS11 update. Apart from the reboot thing. Most commonly it struggles to know whether it is portrait or landsape.Hayzilla
- ok just checked. it didn't even download the updatefor me cuz my 16gb phone is seriously out of space. lolpango
- My girlfriend's died at 30% yesterday. #iwonderwhygarbage
- #notsuspiciousatallgarbage
- same same as everyone else. constantly shuts down at 30%. glitchy/slow transitions. and music! fuck me-i constantly have to go back and hit the play button...lvl_13
- because switching apps or jumping on and off wifi pauses the music every fucking time.lvl_13
- ARRRRRRGGGGGGGlvl_13
- I'm having the same issues on my 6. Battery life sucks. My touchscreen is poorly responsive or at times unresponsive. Texting has become a nightmare.OP31
- Fuck me... had no idea it was so widespread... glad I’m not insane!PonyBoy
- I just replaced the battery on my 6 and things are working so much better, and ya i was having some weird issues too.BabySnakes

- yep. Normal marketing. Actually, great marketing. Probably the best marketing.craigatkinson

@PonyBoy and other iPhone 6 users,
I was having dumb shit happen with my 6 as well, i took a changce replacing the battery to see what it might fix, and the phone is working great. I used https://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPh…
