  • Video: One week using Apple's iPhone X vs. iPhone 8 Plus

    The iPhone X Plus is coming... late April or early May?

    It does if you wait for the minus sign to appear first. Once the minus sign(s) appear, you can quit an app by touching the minus sign OR swiping up on the app card.

  • How Apple Watch laid the foundation for iPhone X

    Well, in ten years of buying an iPhone each year, this is the first year my new iPhone (got the X) came without a charge. Press the sleep/wake and nothing...dead on arrival. Had me concerned. Plugged it in and showed no charge. Anyway, works fantastic now, just surprised it arrived with literally zero charge.

  • How to preorder iPhone X with Apple's battle-tested Apple Store app

    Will the SIM free version be available for preorder or do I have to select a carrier?  I am AT&T, but I kind of want the CDMA+GSM variant for resale value down the road.

    Outstanding question.  If you go through setting up an iPhone X order using the iOS Apple Store App & you select the Verizon model & are willing to pay full price, you will see a screen that says the phone is unlocked.

    Supposedly, if a phone can access Verizon's portion of the 700 MHz radio band, it must be unlocked by law.

    Question:  Can I pre-configure the Apple Store I want to pickup the phone from before the ordering rush?
    Outstandingly WRONG answer. You can NOT buy a Verizon (and Sprint) iPhone X (or 8) WITHOUT having an account with that carrier! The Apple Store will require you to enter your phone number and other info to verify an account with Verizon (and Sprint) to proceed with the order. To buy the all carrier compatible phone if you have an AT&T or T-Mobile account you have to wait until Apple offers the unlocked all carrier version. So you will waste your precious time trying to figure out why you can't hit "BUY".
