iPhone 8 & iPhone X Thread

[Adenoid Hynkel]

A trick I found to make it a little more tolerable is to have a full black background wallpaper. When the app loads, because everything was black already, it just seems normal - like a black bezeled phone. A colorful wallpaper make you immediately realize the lost screen estate as you then have the black bars appear out of nowhere.

As I mentioned before IOS 11 is a UX nightmare.
In the app switcher the unoptimized apps have grey bars at the top and bottom, which turn black when you click on the app.

That doesn’t look very appealing
Generally iPhone apps are updated quick, but then there are non critical apps like takealot where one will wait years again.

Anyone received a call yet from Voda?

So I bought a 256GB on Takealot at 12:03am this morning, to collect in CPT today. Will be interesting to see if they "delay" the order due to a lack of stock. Beats standing in the line at the iStore at 5am tho.

I purchased mine online through MyiStore and instead of R1999 you only pay R499 for the additional year so not too bad - maybe it was only an in-store promotion?

Yeah sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I bought the X on Takealot. No Black Friday deal on it. I looked at the CellC prices for the X and I was like.. hell no. So I bought it cash. Luckily there was some floating around on Takealot during the madness at midnight.

Does anyone know how the process with Telkom Mobile works? I ordered yesterday and they called to confirm my contract. They said someone would call me again to arrange a delivery date once they've done a credit check, but do they actually do this? A credit check should be a quick process.

Yeah this was their Black Friday special ... free I care plus with the purchase of any iPhone

Even tho they had no stock

But suppose it was for all models. Not a massive issue paying the R500 extra for the extra year tho so can’t complain.

Did you hear back regarding stock or if you can go collect today?
