    no problem here with my xs max - must we have reference Antennagate with every bug report?
    Well… Sadly I can say this…

    I am called by many people (friends&family) an Apple sheep. I’ve always maintained that I am a Techy  and I just prefer for Apple products  over there build Quality and general reliable performance.

    I’ve always defended Apple, from and to various gates, to the battery software, etc. 

    With that said I can 100% confirm that I am definitely seeing a massive difference in the way this phone performs with my Wi-Fi network than with any other past iPhone.

     Maybe if iOS12 or maybe it’s something with in the iPhone XS max. But I can tell you that on daily basis, and hourly basis I have to turn off and on my iPhones Wi-Fi to get it work again. 

    Hopefully software are will fix it. 

    Luckily I can screen record this activity.

    You have to tap pretty hard. It's more like a finger hit
    I've tried it. VERY HARD. Still does not work.

    probably will return it for a new pair when these are in stock in a few months.
    Try to tap with your fingernail instead of the fleshy part of your finger.
    Actually it's controlled by the accelerometer. So all it needs is a certain type of jiggle. Fingertip or fleshy part of the finger doesn't matter. Don't try too hard and don't try to sort,  just tap tap. Works fine for me.

    I'm having a lot of enjoyment with this feature. I just want to shoot all my photos with it. 

    either way the iPhone takes amazing photos but look at how much more interesting the photo becomes with the effect on.

    Here's an original photo of one of The dogs with out the effect (the phone takes two photos when the portrait effect is used) for comparisons.

     For those looking to see how good this affect can be, I have taken some photos of my bird and family dogs. It's quite awesome if done with the proper lighting. I can't believe it takes such nice pictures without any editing or filters.

    It is truly amazing how much character the photo gains with this effect  

    (I added this cat pic to show what it looks like if you don't allow bokeh effect to process properly or if you have a shaky hand or subject. Notice the cats ears and how the edges are blurred. Again this only happens with a shaky hand or subject and as you can tell below the other photos are amazing ) This last photo is the first breakfast my father had cooked for me in 25 years. (Long story as he was a hoarder and he moved to a new house where it was possible for us to finally have a home cooked meal together, so I took a photo of the meal) 

    Notice the glass near the texture of the chair. Still amazing.
