Video: The iPhone X ultimate Face ID test
I'm actually really impressed with Face ID. I tried it wearing a hat with sunglasses on and Face ID worked perfectly. Before I received the X today, I was a bit worried I would like Touch ID better. After using the phone all day, I'm really loving Face ID. It's pretty awesome technology.

How to preorder iPhone X with Apple's battle-tested Apple Store app
If you have Background App Refresh on in your settings, it will refresh automatically. To turn that on, go into settings>general>Background App Refresh.mobird said:How do you refresh the Apple Store app? Do you have to quit the app or will the app automatically refresh when the ability to order goes live? I have my selection favorited. Here is what my screen currently looks like. Thanks.

How to preorder iPhone X with Apple's battle-tested Apple Store app
The difference in price is due to the payment terms. Apple is more expensive because its a 24 month payment plan. AT&T is a 30 month payment plan.seeker143 said:I'm a little concerned about the cost difference I see between the Apple and AT&T sites...AT&T says I can upgrade my 6S to a 64GB X for $33/month. Cheapest I see using the Apple Store app on my current 6S is $41/month...
Why the difference? Can't figure that out...
Thoughts?

Tip: Convert physical Blu-ray and DVD discs to iTunes with Vudu and Movies Anywhere
The remaster was done in 4K so I imagine it will be released at some point in UHD blu ray.polymnia said:
I have that remaster version. One of the few Blu-rays I own. I wonder if it is worth jumping through all these hoops to see if there is a 4K version out there waiting for me?boltsfan17 said:
Aliens was remastered in 2010 so I assume the digital movie is the remastered version. Older movies that haven't been remastered are hit and miss when they are upscaled for HD.linkman said:

I’d assume that’s why they collect location information. If you are scanning in retail environments, that probably flags you for investigation.MrWellington07 said:Hmmmm... What's to stop someone from going to Best Buy and scanning every movie in the store???
"Why do you I need to allow the app GPS access to my device? Why do I need to add billing information?We take fraudulent activity seriously, so we've implemented a number of security measures to ensure none takes place. Asking that users enable GPS helps ensure Mobile Disc to Digital is used from a customers' billing address on their own collections. We have also set a cap of 100 discs that can be converted per account per year via mobile."

I was wondering how well the upscaling works on an older movie, such as Aliens which was filmed in 1979. Did they remaster HD content from film cellulose or was it simply upscaled digitally? Can anyone attest to a much better picture/sound quality?
Alien is one of my favorites.

Supreme Court asks Trump administration for thoughts on App Store pricing lawsuit
The Supreme Court isn't asking for the opinion of Trump. The Supreme Court sent the request to U.S. Solicitor General Noel Francisco. The Solicitor General is the third highest ranking official in the Department of Justice. The Supreme Court is asking the Department of Justice, which overseas laws.seneca72 said:I thought the US had separation of powers such that Law and Executive were independent of each other. If so why is the Supreme Court asking the opinion of the President as to whether it should hear a case? Surely it either should or shouldn't based on a matter of law?
Viewed from this side of the pond it looks a little odd.
