updated to 11.1 and seems to have corrected most of the issues.
- PonyBoy1
"iOS 11.1 introduces over 70 new emoji and includes bug fixes and improvements."
hehe... glad they have their priorities in order...
- This is becuase nobody updates unless there are updated emojis.err
- Didn’t do much to stop what was wrong on my iPad. Transitions r very jerky still. And a lot of things are unresponsive on first touches.dopepope
- haven't updated but have you disabled the frosted glass effect and transition animations?dorf
- why would I do that, dorf? I can understand if you find them annoying... but they should still 'work'... yes?PonyBoy
- ^ I imagine it's processor intensive. I disabled all the parallax crap on my 4s and it's much quickerGnash
- Shouldn’t be an issue on a 6+, gnash...PonyBoy

Has anyone tried the iPhone camera? I'm not convinced, coming for pixel / iPhone 7. Blacks are way too heavy, images too blue overall.
- iPhone x i meant to saycraigatkinson
- Sly brag ;-)Hayzilla
- sly brag that's it's getting swapped for the pixel too! 2.craigatkinson
- crushed blacks?Gnash
- not crushed, just super heavy. Everything is over saturated with green and black. Low light is terrible too. Smeary. Disappointed.craigatkinson

So... 24 hours w/the new 11.1... a 'little' better... but still very twitchy and slow.
• Ask siri to tell you the weather (or to call someone) and I sit and wait... and wait... sometimes the network catches and she complies... but MOST OF THE TIME the request just fucking hangs out there (on WIFI or using my Cell Network... same shit)
• If I'm listening to music or the radio and go to open something else I can almost always expect the sound to stop or at least lag and crackle (never happened before 11+)
• Still hangs up when rotating to landscape and v.versa (never happened before 11+)
• Odd twitching / app screens that 'were open' appearing on the screen for just a twitchy-second then gone when I unlock my iphone (never happened before 11+)
• overall lag... everything hangs up just a bit (never happened before 11+)
... it hasn't just shut off for no reason yet... there's a plus I guess.

Pulled this iPhone X out of it's box and instantly felt like I was going to break it. It has a solid build weight to it but it's so smooth and polished that you're just one sweaty or wet hand away from its first drop.
- mines going back. Grand for that!craigatkinson
- however, it does grip better than the 6, s 7, etccraigatkinson

How come the iPhone X doesn't even come with a thunderbolt cable?
- wireless charging now. You gotta buy a charge plate.dopepope
- Because it comes with a lightning cable for its lightning port. It doesn't have a thunderbolt port. lol @ needing a charging pad to charge it.monospaced
- mono... you going w/the 8+?PonyBoy
- maybe you don't 'need' it, but it can now be charged with a plate, that must be purchased separately.dopepope
- I just finished paying for my 6, and it's still fine. I will upgrade to 8 as I consider facial unlock to be a step backward, and the + size too big.monospaced
- @dopepope, all new iPhones feature wireless chargingmonospaced
- @mono save £ and get the 7. Hard to see the value of 8 (imho)craigatkinson
- I might, but then in 2 years when I'm done paying for it, I'll be way behind :)monospaced

news today (not newstoday / oldskool) said Apple to become first trillion $ company. My 9 yr old said, 'that's too much'.
- Did you see the notch in the screen and the new emojis? They'll be bankrupt next year for sure.monospaced
- I like the notch, reminds me of filing/index cards and flicking them away makes sense.craigatkinson
- £1k for an animated shit though, I can do that with a £1 flax seedscraigatkinson
- I bet you do.monospaced

Top performer for stills they say...However, look at the scores against Pixel 2...Only Bokeh and Zoom go to Apple, the two least important things perhaps.

My iphones have been acting up more and more through the years, each one lasting a shorter time than the previous one.... battery being drained, headphones jack not working, battery jack not working... iphone shutting down for no reason. Without even mentionning how clustered the whole OS thing has become
My current iphone6s, is a total piece of shit, I don't have any registered numbers anymore -only +1 123 456...-, I can't update the OS for unknown reason, today it has reset every single password, including my apple id, fucking useless icloud, every single wifi network I was on....
I'm done with that piece of crap and iphones. time to look at other brands.- I said the same... then went into a local BigBox store yesterday and previewed about 8 phones (new Pixel 2 etc)... nothing compared to the iphone 8...PonyBoy
- ... so I figure the X is even better (hope, that is). I didn't see any hiccups in the 8's transitions etc... the A11 chip is pretty damn smooth for the 5 mins..PonyBoy
- ... I spent playing around w/the phonePonyBoy
- Yeah.... I really like(d) apple OS, I used to be a PC user and switched because it was such a pain, I'm afraid other phone are justdyspl
- mobile version of a crappy updated windows vista.dyspl
- As for the iphone they're always super smooth at first, it's going downhill form there faster after each model iterationdyspl
- My 6s turned into a piece of crap after less than a year, and I don't download apps etc... just the usual msgs, instagram/messenger.dyspl
- I'm just bummed :( they had a pretty good thing going, and they're slowly ruinning it IMO.dyspl
- I've fixed a few phones that did stuff like that for others, simply be doing a full fresh install via iTunes. Not sure how, but some folks corrupt their phones.evilpeacock
- My iPhone SE and 6 are still running smooth as butter, like the first day. I don't understand why so many people have issues while nobody I know does.monospaced
- ^ because you are amazing, while us mere mortals just get to live mediocre lives where everything goes to shit.dyspl
- mono... do you fill your phone up w/thousands of images/vids/apps you'll never use / look at again? :) I think that's the reason for the death of my fam's 6'sPonyBoy
- Almost. My wife does and hers is fine. Anyway. Whatever.monospaced

I saw someone drop one of those wireless earbuds whilst he was slooped up against the bus stop yesterday. Twice.
- I saw someone taking a dump at a bus stop recently. Still cannot erase the image.fadein11
- hahaha, no, I imagine that'll be with you for a while. Goddamned humans!detritus
- wasn't pleasantfadein11
- I saw a woman do that once, fadein11, in broad daylight, in a residential neighborhood of SF. No shame.monospaced
- I saw a woman doing a shit in a bush in the park once. I gave her a loud applause, which noticeably ruffled her false sense of privacy********

- WHAT THE FUCK .... this guy knows shit.
gh4 is not a professional camera. he works in a internet sRGB/Rec709 standards + shit loads of end compression.mugwart - @1.19 - colour profile baked in ... any professional would run away from that like a plague. YOUR MEANT TO SHOT FLAT. It improves the gradingmugwart
- sorry ranting again! nothing to see heremugwart
- you should only compare AFTER the grade.mugwart
- no mate, you don't shoot tv commercials with an iPhone. who is this hack?inteliboy
- A feature film was recently shot on an iphone. It did well.********
- I know some have used it for certain sequences and the amount of work it took to fix that was incredible!mugwart
- No. A whole film.********

- the camera really isn't very good in an everyday waycraigatkinson
- why would you say that set? maybe pick on some poor sap who actually buys apples newest shit, like ponyboy, and leave me alone?monospaced
- If I were some fanboy who cared or is the target audience, but I'm neither of those.monospaced

- Oh right, I asked because showing two images side by side with no context or details gave me the impression you were mental.face_melter
- oh I see, what more context than 'pixel2 left, iphone x right' do you need?craigatkinson
- Context is there. Move along face_Hayzilla
- I see contextrobthelad
- is it possible the pixel was using HDR mode and the iPhone wasn't?monospaced
- they were both on auto HDRcraigatkinson
- I've taken IRO 300 shots with each, same shot...iPhone highlights and skin texture is terriblecraigatkinson
- look at this one https://www.dropbox.… , such a simple thing yet the highlights are screwedcraigatkinson
- Weird. I feel like most iPhones would be able to handle that range with hdr set right, even the older ones.monospaced
- the older ones did, this one doesnt manage it though, and has that water colour effectcraigatkinson

Apple consumers can relate to the homeless.
- They weep of compassion and empathy...you can hear it in their voices and see it in their eyes. utopian
- Jobs rolling in his grave********
- god... first I see the homeless / tent city and find myself w/some 'feels'... then they jump to the apple line and I roll my eyes @ the producers but THEN...PonyBoy
- ...when I heard the comments of the people in the Apple line actually 'relating' to the uncomfortable side of homeless I just busted out laughing. stfu, losersPonyBoy
- the whole thing is kind of ridiculous and quite an imbalanced discussion... kind of need more than 4 mins worth of discussionPonyBoy
