    Sold both my iPhone Xs

    You pretty much describe my dilemma perfectly. Wife has 7 plus, daughter has an X, mom and dad have an iPhone and all my good friends have iPhones. Even though there are workarounds for sharing things imessage is just so dang convenient. Although I don't video chat much, FaceTime is so much...

    Sold both my iPhone Xs

    I agree. I really like the X and the direction that Apple is taking iOS as far as being more gesture based. The X aside from the ridiculous notch is the most sleek, elegant electronic device I've owned. The notch isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me but I just seem to enjoy Android more...

    Sold both my iPhone Xs

    LOL. Yea we all sound like a bunch of crazies going on about first world problems. Serial switcher is one thing. I seem to switch several times a day. I went between the S9+ and iPhone X more than a few times yesterday. Every time I pop my sim in one there is something I miss about the other...

    Sold both my iPhone Xs

    Totally understandable decision. That's why I probably won't get rid of my X. However I can't get rid of my Pixel 2XL because of that camera. Looks like the S9+ may be the odd man out. I love the device overall. Display is my favorite on any device. Love the design and how it looks versus the...

    Sold both my iPhone Xs

    I keep going back and forth as well. Love that big, beautiful, notchless display of the S9 +. In addition to that I like the size and feel of the S9+ better. I love iMessage, camera, and compatibility with my Apple TVs and Homepod with the X. Love Android Auto. Hate Carplay/Apple Maps. Love...

    Who said they wouldn't, and did?

    I've got issues. I was happy with my 7 Plus and S8+ just a few months ago. Swore to myself that I had my phone arsenal all set for the year. Then the Note 8 comes out. "Oh man, the S8+ doesn't have a telephoto lens. I miss portrait mode and being able to have photos that look decent while...

    Coming back from Androidland. At least for now.

    I wish I could find your level of contentment with iOS. Each platform has its own strengths and when I’m using one I’m missing things from the other. For example, my sim is in my iPhone right now with iOS 11 on it. The new notification tray is absolutely driving me insane. Android has always...

    Coming back from Androidland. At least for now.

    LOL the throwing toys is the worst part. I was staying in my parents guest house last fall and early this year while my new house was being built. Very small quarters...a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and small living room for two kids, myself, and my wife. Very stressful time even though we...

    Coming back from Androidland. At least for now.

    Ive got two. My daughter is seven and has always been so calm and easy going. Thought this parent thing was cake. Then we had the boy. Terrible two's came (actually started at one). On to the three's, I think you correctly identified it as horrible three's. Now we're at the "f'd up fours"...

    Buying Verizon 7 Plus at Apple Store w/o Verizon account

    I'm an AT&T customer (for now) and bought a 256 gb Verizon MB Plus with no issues. There was obviously no option for carrier financing, so I paid cash. Not sure if they would do it on the iPhone Upgrade program. I would think there wouldn't be an issue there as that is not done via the carriers.

    Stores getting stock of 7 plus

    Congrats. Found mine yesterday as well. Seems the 256gb Verizon is the most readily available of the Matte Black Plus. Every Apple store here in Texas has it available right now. I had preordered the 256gb ATT MB Plus but glad I ended up with the Verizon version.

    Stores getting stock of 7 plus

    The AT&T model is unlocked only if paying full retail price or through the iPhone Upgrade program. It will work with T-Mobile or Verizon if unlocked but with a caveat. The GSM version has a different modem that is not compatible with CDMA network. it will work in Verizon areas where there is...

    Note 7 refugees

    Well my battery life officially sucks on my replacement Note 7. I'm thinking since I basically repurchased it I still have a 14 day return period. Hoping to take it back today and hunt down a 7 plus as they seem to be popping up in more apple stores lately. Got to play with one for an extended...

    Note 7 refugees

    The Note 7 really made an impression on me so much that as soon as my AT&T store had the "new" Note 7's I ran to the store today and got a replacement. Sadly, I cancelled my 7 Plus preorder but I still have a 6s Plus for my iOS itch. I'll be lurking over here to keep an eye on the 7 Plus as...

    Re: Pre-Order with AT&T Which version did you order? I ordered Blqck 256 GB around 2pm central time on the 9th, quoted the same delivery window and nothing yet.
