iPhone 8 & iPhone X Thread

Btw what covers are you people using with your phone? I've been always using the apple leather covers as I feel they compliment the design of the phone. But curious as to other options

Edit: iOS performance improvement on iOS 11.2

But my battery is draining faster

RhinoShield or GTFO.

Thanks for this! You mentioned it before, so I looked at some reviews and ordered it. Very happy with it so far.

Pity all the covers add bulk to an otherwise slim and stunning phone, but mine's almost guaranteed to break at some point without it.

Yeah my wife needs this. She already throws her phone around and that apple leather cover for her was a bad idea in hindsight.

Yeah as covers go they are pretty slim though so it’s a case of the best of both worlds really.
 
FreeMe 2GB :)

Just wish they'd activate my SIM already!

I got the 20gb option :) Telkom is so far so good.

Activation happened within the day I got the phone. Strange part is I did a port. So I could swear my vodacom prepaid SIM still worked moments before I switched sims. Thought it would deactivate.

Yet with the Telkom sim it started working fine immediately with my ported number being active and all that
 
Yeah I am also meant to get the Beats headphones and 20GB data because I ordered on 24 Nov.

Was your 20GB data allocated straight away or only 1 Dec?
If allocated when does it say it expires?

Vodacom 4U is a different shop (across the "Vodacom shop" at vodaworld) - it was as such seemingly by pure luck that I managed to get a phone through them. The fact that I also ordered from vodacom on the 24th clearly meant nothing to vodacom, I'm as such just happy that 4U had the same promo in place by giving 20gb and the beats earphones.

My data was allocated straight away (albeit on a pro rata basis) whilst the remainder came into effect on the 1st of December.

ps: Still an apple fanboy due to this epic phone! :)

Nice! With fibre at home and at work, 2GB will probably end up being too much data haha. Even our gym has been upgraded to a "smart gym" so the wifi is more than decent enough for streaming.

Really hope my SIM gets activated soon. You didn't do anything special to activate yours, right? You just put it into your phone?

Yeah i just put the sim in the phone and was activated ... I did get an sms from vodacom saying "port successful" before putting my sim in. But it was maybe max 5-7 hours
 
So I got the email and text message from iStore that my phone is ready and allocated to my order and to look out for delivery info so now the next waiting game begins.

Stock must be coming in quicker now as when I per-ordered (and still now) it said expect it mid December.

Let’s see how long delivery takes now.

Are you able to use LTE with Telkom Mobile on your iPhone X? I get a message saying it hasn't been certified for use and may affect battery life.

Apple Leak Reveals Massive New iPhone

Nikkei has done it again. Following its big Apple revelations earlier this week, the world’s largest financial newspaper has followed up with something even bigger… literally.

In a new report Nikkei says next year Apple AAPL -0.34% will release its biggest iPhone yet with a monster 6.1-inch display and it is likely to be Apple’s cheapest iPhone as well.

Screenshot-2017-12-07-at-03.51.40.png

Citing “a source privy to the company's product designs” Nikkei states the 6.1-inch iPhone will cut costs by using an LCD display rather than the more expensive OLED introduced with the wallet burning iPhone X. It will also revert to an aluminium chassis which means no wireless charging, but also add benefit by dodging Apple’s truly horrific glass back repair charges.

If you to Settings..About, does it prompt you for a carrier update?
