  • How Apple addressed the 'beautygate' effect in iOS 12.1

    You’re being sarcastic but I think there will be that exact reaction eventually. Trashing Apple no matter what they do is a cottage industry and YouTubers have actually successfully monetized it. 
    It gets very tedious reading comments by people who act like everything Apple does is absolutely the worst thing in the Western World, and that it's constantly on the verge of complete collapse. This mentality on the part of a few people has been around since before the iPhone. It's just stupid.

  • iPhone XS versus iPhone X - which phone unlocks faster with Face ID

    The difference doesn't look like much in the video, but with raise to wake being my normal prelude to using the phone, the XS is almost always unlocked before I've finished swiping--if not before I've even begun to swipe--whereas Face ID was usually a hindrance with the X. The XS also seems to unlock much more reliably. Unlocking occurs so fluidly, I'm often careful not to look at the phone to avoid unintentional unlocks. I also frequently press the sleep/wake button intentionally to make sure the phone is locked before putting it away, e.g. to avoid "pocket calls". While those are downsides, I appreciate the fast unlocking more.
    To be honest, since downloading iOS 12 Face ID now pretty much works that way for me on my X. I'm guessing it's still better on the XS and XR, but even on my X Face ID is substantially better now (and I always loved it).

    Ever since downloading iOS 12 on my X, Face ID is so fast now it seems pointless trying to figure out what is faster. It's gotten to the point where I've almost forgotten I even have a password on my phone.

    Phone looks great, but saddened that they didn't put the optical zoom on it. It's being sold for $749, so it's the cheap version now, even though it's priced higher than the highest end iPhone 2 years ago, 3 years ago, etc. which all had optical zoom.
    No, the iPhone 7 Plus was introduced in 2016 at prices of $769 and up. The priciest 7 was $849. The iPhone 8 Plus started at $799 and the 256GB 8 was $849. https://9to5mac.com/2016/09/07/apple-announces-iphone-7-pricing-availability-pre-orders-start-sept-9-available-sept-16/
    Got him my friend. The trolls are out en masse. 
    The bad thing about the Android trolls is they just don't know what they're talking about most of the time. This comment is a good example of that. I don't know why they're all over Apple sites. I'd never comment on an Android site because I don't know enough about their phones. If I posted comments like these, guys I'd sound like an idiot. (I also frankly have better things to do with my time than post comments about phones I'm not interested in.)

    mannn i dont even know where to begin. for this price i have bought a full freaking 13 inch macbook and just yesterday the new ipad 2018 for a price which sounds like a steal. 
    I cant get it into my head to pay so much for an iPhone. the camera is a joke. at this price you get a magnificent mirror less camera if you are really into taking the best in image quality. Quite frankly cheapass android phones are reaching high Dxomark ratings already, similar to the google pixel which was a great camera, have a look at honor 8x which is under $250, bezel less 6.5 phone which has glowing reviews while being compared to a iPhone Xs on youtube.
    the dumbing down is getting real.
    LOL, reading your comment, I agree the dumbing down is getting real but I think you're looking in the wrong direction.

    If Android phones are that much greater, then why are you posting on here? I really can't think of a more moronic way of spending my time than complaining on an Apple site.
