Generally speaking, getting from the carrier will lock that phone into your carrier. Getting one from Apple gets you an unlocked phone, which is easier to resell.

I just go through through Verizon as I always upgrade and don’t have to worry about selling my phone.

This was very helpful. Ok, with all of these and Siri I'm starting to get over most of the negatives I have so far.

I got mine through Verizon, but it was scheduled to ship Nov 3rd, so I don’t know how much that helps you.

What the frick. Just got my X. Are the videos a smaller screen size than on the plus models?!?! They sure seem to be smaller than my 6 plus. I can get used to the no home button, but I was under the impression the video size would be the same if not a bit larger. Plus side the Face Id Is amazing.

Yeah. The screen ratio looks smaller to me. I’m not sure if it’s just an illusion since there’s so much of actual screen not being used on the x or what, but it does seem smaller.

You have to zoom at this point and it will fill the screen in YouTube. Many apps haven’t been optimized for the X yet though. When cropped the image will be smaller than the 8+ simply due to the size of the actual phone.



On the positive for you, it’s rumored that next year there will be an 8+ sized phone with a full screen(think X+).

Screen is a bit slimmer across than the plus, so yes, videos will be a bit smaller. Geometry in action.

For iTunes, I have thousands of songs on my laptop in iTunes but maybe 50 I bought in iTunes and those are the only ones that show up on my phone. Is there a way to get all my music available? I ripped hundreds of my cds back in the day to my computer and would love to have that access.

You can’t plug the phone into the laptop?

Yep , just upload them in iTunes.

If you are on your WiFi network and have home sharing turned on. If your laptop is running iTunes, you should have access to them too.

You can upload them to Google Play for free and have them available in the Goggle Play Misic app. You can also use iCloud Music Library to match your songs but it’s isnt free.

BTW, the battery seems to be getting better. I usually leave my phone unplugged for FBD and this morning it is at 92%. That is above my usual 7+ status in the morning.

Totally now use to not having a button.

Just waiting on Microsoft to update their Outlook app.

Man, this might be the one thing that makes me go to the 8+. My daughters and wife hog the TVs so I watch Hulu Live TV and Netflix through my phone, A LOT. Damn near nightly.

I might be the 1% where the 8+ makes more sense.

I'm loving the AirPods with my X.

Not a fan of the white color though, so I bought these Matte Black skins Amazon link

And if you workout or run with them, I would recommend these Amazon link
