  • Apple in talks to open first Israeli store in country's tallest building, report says

    Still NOT holding my breath for Ireland’s first Apple Retail Store....sigh.....

    Delighted for Israel and every other country that has or is getting Apple Stores. The more the merrier. Consumers (that’s us) win every time.

  • How to quickly force restart the iPhone X in case of a crash

    And the iPhone 7 has its own unique method of force restarting: side button + volume down. Strange that Apple changed from that to the current method for iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X after just one year. 
    I'm not surprised. It's too easy to simultaneously press side buttons (way too many unintended emergency calls as it stands). Putting "restart" into a sequence should help. I had to disable automatic 911 calls on my X. Every other run (or so), with the iPhone in a waist-bag (with no discernible side pressure) my wife gets called (emergency call) without me figuring how it's triggering. Perhaps my stride is too jarring. I wrapped my iPhone in a cloth handkerchief, that decreased the triggering but did not eliminate them.
    That’s intriguing. I’d love to hear if you figure out the cause.

    Here Samsung rules and Apple is a bit part player.
    Lots more Apple phones in the US compared to other regions. The first time I ever saw an iPhone X in the wild was in California in Feb. Hadn't seen one in use anywhere in Canada before that. I've actually only seen one iPhone X in Canada since then.
    You haven't seen but one iPhone X in the wild, and yet, the iPhone X has been the best selling single model in the world.

    With that, I feel free to ignore your anecdotal evidence.
    Here in the Emerald Isle I saw (and held) my first iPhone X (in the wild) just last Friday. So, a little more anecdotal ‘evidence’ to complement our Canadian friend’s account. Obviously, the X is a major success in the US (and, presumably, elsewhere). Just not in every market. Now, if only we had an Apple Store (or three) here to help raise awareness......😎🇮🇪☘️
