Why wait for delivery? U can get it directly by pickup at Orchard.

I'm currently in New Zealand, we don't have Apple Stores, all walk-ins like Harvey Norman and JB HiFi are strictly under plans only (24 months wtf).

Did you guys check availability? It's come down from 4-5 weeks to 2-3 weeks in Australia and New Zealand.

Got my iPhone X yesterday and holy fuck it is really amazing.
Honestly it feels like a real successor to the original iPhone that will pave way for future iPhones.

I'm also surprised at how quick Face ID works. It's like it isn't even there!

Silicon case vs Leather case

Leather case turn into black from Saddle brown and Apple logo faded after 2 years usage.

(Edit: Original colour is brown not saddle brown)

want to know is 64gb iphone X is sufficient if 16gb ip5 was sufficient for me? is the photo file size from ipX much bigger?
*
If 16GB is enough for you then 64GB shouldn't be a problem.
iOS 11 supports HEIF photo format, which reduces the photo size taken by iPhones by up to 50%.
Mine is 64GB and after everything and fully loaded I still have 27GB free. I have 8,000 pictures mind you. cool2.gif

So for me it's safe to say it'll comfortably last me 2 years.

Guys does your iPhone X True Tone is a bit too warm? I compared True Tone in a store between an X and a 8, the X seems to be a tad warmer than the 8. It’s quite annoying when the X gets so warm while my computer monitor isn’t as warm, so looking back and forth is quite straining to the eye.

Current battery stats:
Unplugged at 8am
Current time is 9.43pm
Battery percentage is at 18%

Not as great as my 7 Plus but still decent for a full day’s use.

Try changing to a black wallpaper and smart invert colours similarly to dark mode? Curious how big of a difference it'll make on the battery life.
*
Nah I don’t think I’ll do all that, topping up is pretty quick on the X. And yes I’m quite curious as to how much battery it’ll save.

Looks more like the battery life of a regular iPhone 7/8 and not a Plus model.

Yeah pretty much. Iirc the X has a larger battery than then the 8 Plus

Does other QuickCharge 2.0/3.0 charger works with iPhone X fast charge?
*
No, iPhone fast charge relies on USB C Power Delivery (PD), just like MacBooks (Pro).
Pixel phones use PD to fast charge as well.

Hey guys I just set up and updated the phone to iOS 11.2. As far as I know this is the update that enables charging at 7.5W. How do we know that it is charging at 7.5W and not 5W?

Also lets say we buy a fast charger that is capable of 10W. What kind of wall charger do we need?

2.1A 5V = 10.5W
2.4A 5V = 12W (like the iPad charger)
QC 2.0 = 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A

If anyone knows about this please let me know. Because I want to buy a fast charger and a wall plug and dont wanna waste the iPad chargers that I have.
*
People tested charging times. It charged slightly faster compared to previous iOS versions so they assumed 7.5W is enabled.

Then multiple sources confirmed it.

Dang, my iphone just got bricked. I tried to update latest firmware by restoring in iTunes. Got stuck at error 53. Can't find any info on the internet. I've spent around 6 hours trying to get it to work but still can't. FML.

Isn't error 53 the one about the unauthorised repairs done by non-Apple shops?

Tested it outdoors under the scorching bright New Zealand sun and it works 10/10with my sunglasses on.
It doesn’t get brighter than this

Guys if you look closely it's the screen protector that cracked, not the screen itself.
The earpiece is very deep in that picture, almost as if there's a 'full' screen protector on top.

Those who has an X take a look at your earpiece, it's flush.
The guy's one is not. Has a very noticeable depth, from a screen protector.

Probably so, take a look at yours and tell me the earpiece is flush or not.

Out of curiosity, do you guys turn off true tones on your phone? I do because I dislike the warm screen

I have mine off, it's way warmer than my 10.5 iPad True Tone.


QUOTE(irenic @ Nov 25 2017, 06:26 PM)
Be careful with giving out info. Apple care+ is only applicable to countries that sell  apple care+ , in other words, countries that has Apple Store.

For Apple iPhone, it has limited warranty covers within the countries with similar model numbers.

Are you sure? We don't have Apple Stores in NZ but we have AppleCare+ for sale everywhere.
