Most people don't know shit......that's a fact

So when it comes to the police unlocking your phone the ruling is this. If you have a password or pass code they can't unlock your phone. If you have a biometric lock, fingerprint or face ID, they can use that to unlock your phone without permission. If you really think the cops are gonna go through your phone turn it off. Your phone still needs a code to turn on after a reboot.
They sure don't most people biggest complaints are running out of space on their phone but they don't even know the easiest way to get more space is to delete some of those VIDEOS. They'll delete 50 pics that equal up to 3-5 MB and keep 30 videos that are taking up 10 or more GBs. Then they'll go into the phone store all pissed off, talking about "I deleted like 50 things and it's still saying I don't have enough memory when I tried to shoot another VIDEO"
How exactly would they use your fingerprint? Would a copy of your fingerprint or fingerprint sample unlock the phone? Or would they force you to stick out your thumb/index finger? Lol. They need a app that'll disable the unlock if it detects that LEO is nearby. Lmao.
If you're cuffed then it would be really easy for them to get access to an individual finger.
The ACLU needs to be looking at this new method of authentication that Apple is pushing with this device.
The ACLU doesn't need any prompting. Feel free to donate.
And that's why I have never...and will not ever buy a phone that doesn't have an SD card slot... (I skipped the note5)..
here's how much the iPhone X costs in 15 countries, according to Apple's website :
Australia: $1,266
Canada: $1,082
China: $1,285
France: $1,387

Y'all got to stay up on news

OK I see that now. In that presentation, the first phone failing to Face ID unlock was a very bad look.
If I read the article correctly, the police still need a warrant to force you to use your fingerprint.
An app that would force the PIN to be entered after a user defined time, would seem to be good enough. I say this because if I get pulled over, the LAST thing I'm trying to do is reach in my pockets (which is where my cell would be).
Welp if you have T-Mobile and was thinking of getting the iPhone 8 or iPhone X then this news will probably make you pump the brakes on making that purchase

This bgr fuckery was already discussed in the Note 8 thread....
... TMobile coverage been sucking for a long time... they're use to it
We were talking about SD cards for Android phones in this thread. Anyway if you looking for some memory BJ'S has it on sale :
Like fast charging.......
Appleized
There's a catch, though. In order to make this work, you'll have to separately purchase Apple's (or a third party's) 29-watt USB-C chargerand USB-C to lightning cable; neither will come packaged with the iPhone 8, 8 Plus or X. The charger will run you $49, while the separate cable is $35 at the Apple Store (sorry, the Apple town square). Not an insignificant chunk of change, to be sure.

This thing has too privacy concerns for me.
Nope gonna have to rely on facial recognition or that PASS CODE

Can Cops Force You to Unlock Your Phone With Your Face?
Can Cops Force You to Unlock Your Phone With Your Face?
So what happens if you look like Craig Mack when you first get your iPhone X but then start taking Proactiv. Now you're locked out of your own phone
Good question. I would say that there are many other unique markers beside skin complection that define one's face. So, I wouldn't see that happening. Plus, in the presentation they said that the facial recognition adjusts to changes like fluctuations in one's weight, for example.
Just squint
If you're looking to see how the X compares in size to other phones
That Note looking real good right now
I always wondered why these companies do not sell equipment that you own to act as your iCloud rather than incurring the costs to store your content. This equipment can than keep an encrypted copy on their server. Another red flag and backdoor to get their hands on your data.
Remember the fappening? It was an iCloud breach. Once you phone backups to their server, they can access the content.

iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have smaller batteries than last year's models
Apple on Tuesday announced a trio of new smartphones in the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the premium iPhone X. While the latter device has been getting the lion’s share of attention this week, the latest news out of China focuses on the two other handsets.
TENAA, China’s version of the FCC, has published details regarding the battery found in the standard upgrades.
As mobile leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer highlights, the smaller iPhone 8 will pack an 1,821mAh battery while the Plus variant will include a 2,675mAh unit.
If accurate, the batteries in the new phones would be smaller than what’s found in the current-generation iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus at 1,960mAh and 2,900mAh, respectively.
Apple typically doesn’t specify the size of the batteries in its phones but notes on its website that the iPhone 8’s battery lasts “about the same” as the iPhone 7 (the same is also said about the Plus model versus last year’s flagship).
Apple is able to get away with stuffing a smaller battery into its new iPhones thanks to improvements made in other areas of the device (namely, the A11 Bionic SoC). The six-core chip features two high-performance cores that are 25 percent faster than the A10 and four high-efficiency cores that are 70 percent faster than last year’s SoC.
The new iPhone’s GPU, meanwhile, can provide the same level of performance as the A10 at half the power

face ID is disabled if you SQUEEZE the sides....man HTC got robbed of some serious IP
The new iPhone, which will be available November 3, comes with a feature Apple calls FaceID that lets consumers unlock their phones by simply holding the phone in front of their face. Many observers were quick to point out that the system, while undeniably cool and handy, could make it easy for someone other than the owner to unlock a phone — they could potentially just point it at the owner's face.
One prospective customer emailed Federighi to ask him about Face ID possibly fatal flaw.
"What will prevent a thief from taking my phone, pointing it at my face, and running?" asked Keith Krimbel, a freelance video editor.
A few hours later, Federighi responded. In an email, which Krimbel posted on Twitter, Federighi offered the following advice:
"There are two mitigations: If you don't stare at the phone, it won't unlock. Also, if you grip the buttons on both sides of the phone when you hand it over, it will temporarily disable FaceID."
