I got my invite and applied. It was the easiest process ever. It used all the information it already had, only asked for the last 4 of my SSN, and asked for my yearly income. It didn't hit me with a hard inquiry that I've seen and I've checked all 3 bureaus. I was surprised I was approved as my...

Sure thing! Shoot me your Apple ID email.

I will be keeping this alive and adding in anyone who has posted interest in the last 6 months or so. The previous chat remains active, but while I did get the ball rolling on it I have since left as it seemed a member had a dislike for me. Not sure the reasoning, but that's beside the point. If...

I always restore and set up as new. Keeps things fresh. I don't have anything important enough to warrant dragging a bunch of junk over in a backup.

So I've been trying to use my iPhone X to record a couple of things for a bit now and I keep coming across the same issue. If I'm taking a picture at night in some fairly low-lit areas, I can tap the screen and it'll brighten up and the image will be much better. If I'm doing a video...

Re: True Tone Yay or Nay? Turned off. I don't like that tint it gives colors, especially the whites. I feel like it takes away from the screens quality.

I've used the iPad charger and it worked as expected. The Belkin wireless charger is pretty fast, too. Took about 20 mins to go 17%.

I believe that is not entirely true. They may not offer 2-year contracts to new customers, but existing ones can still do them. My GF and her family has done it for the 5s, then the 6S and is now aiming to do it for the X.

I had the Series 2, sold it 2 weeks ago. I'll be financing the LTE S3 when I pre-order my 8 Plus. Hopefully they have financing on the SS again over at T-Mo. I got my S0 SS with them, and then they pulled all Watches.

I'll be up at 3AM EST (12AM PST) ordering mine through T-Mo. I hit them up on Twitter on Tuesday evening to make sure my account is good to go. I want to avoid hiccups. Call, order, hang up, sleep. I did it for the 6S and after a 5 minute call I had my phone on launch day. Anyone on JOD...

I love the smaller form factor of the X, and the OLED looks amazing. But for the additional premium, and lacking Touch ID (still not convinced with fID) I'll go 8 Plus tonight and let the X go through the rounds the first few months. I'll hop on one in Jan/Feb if reviews clear it.

Just thought I'd give anyone considering and or who recently installed the iOS 11 beta 1 a heads up on issues with Maps on Apple CarPlay. The general functions of CarPlay work overall OK, but when you try to use Maps, it will randomly and unexpectedly crash and go back to the main CarPlay home...

Same. I work fixing computers and my OCD goes through the roof when I see these touch screen Windows units full of fingerprints, grease stains and marks. It's so unsanitary if you ask me. Granted, I know the phone I'm typing this on is no better, neither is my Mac keyboard, but just something...

Update: I have 4 iMessage requests so I'll be making a new chat today or tomorrow. If anyone else wants to hop in, by all means....

So there has been a few iterations of the chat throughout the months. The last one pretty much died and/or reincarnated itself into another chat. That being said, I am more than open to getting another one going. The only thing I ask is don't be overly sensitive, respect the fact that others...
