The Pro can't watch HDR video?
I thought it was just the new Apple TV 4K and the iPhone X that could actually resolve the HDR
Fuck it, Im buying John Wick and testing this out

I haven't updated my Pro to the GM yet but this is apparently in the settings.
So when do these usually go up on the site? Do they sell out in minutes or hours?

Is this only on the newest pro? I don't see it on my 9.7".
Apple made this decision well over a year ago. Perhaps the fundamental goal of iPhone X was to get as close as they could to an edge-to-edge display. No chin whatsoever. There were, of course, early attempts to embed a Touch ID sensor under the display as a Plan B. But Apple became convinced that Face ID was the way to go over a year ago. I heard this yesterday from multiple people at Apple, including engineers whove been working on the iPhone X project for a very long time. They stopped pursuing Touch ID under the display not because they couldnt do it, but because they decided they didnt need it. I do believe its true that they never got Touch ID working, but thats because they abandoned it in favor of Face ID early.
I dont know why recent supply chain rumors suggest Apple was scrambling to get Touch ID working on iPhone X as late as this summer, and no one at Apple seems to know either. Disinformation campaign from competitors?
There is clearly skepticism out that there about Face ID. Some people think Face ID is going to suck, and a lot people are flat-out assuming that theyre going to miss Touch ID. We saw the same thing with Touch ID when it was announced, and the skeptics were very wrong. I havent used it personally, but I am pretty sure already that the skeptics are going to be wrong about Face ID too. This piece at Ars Technica by Ron Amadeo at Ars Technica is going to age poorly, I suspect.
The only time Ive spent playing with an iPhone X was about 10-15 minutes in the hands-on area after the event, and I did not get a chance to try Face ID. But I spent time both officially, as a member of the media, and unofficially, as a friend with several Apple employees who are already carrying an iPhone X as their daily-use phone, and from what I observed and from what they told me and again, several of these employees are engineers, not PR or product marketing folks it just works. You dont have to think about it. According to them, you get used to not thinking about it very quickly, and when you go back to a Touch ID device, it feels broken that you have to touch the button to unlock the device.
One of the places where I saw it working instantly and effortlessly was a really dark room. It just works.
The notch: It offends me. Its ungainly and unnatural.
In landscape, the notch looks like a joke. I think Jony Ive either lost a bet or lost his mind.
Interesting bit from gruber re: face id.

Color me shocked.
If Guber is right and FACE ID only was plan A all along and the Touch ID under the screen was abandoned last year and all the chatter was competitor disinformation, it really makes me think Apple is falling behind.
When they show the footage of her looking at it near the pool- I mean, you have to physically interact with the phone in order for it to begin scanning for your face, no?
I guess, if she was immediately around as a notification arose, maybe then it would detect you?

I went to the Apple Store and they said to pay $300-$600 for the repair. I think its because it hasnt quite popped out yet.
Tap to wake the screen. Its water resistant so thats no issue
So I downloaded John Wick on my iPad Pro 10.5 and my iPhone 7, loaded them up side by side. Colors look great on the 10.5, but Ive never seen an HDR movie before and it seems to be crushing blacks pretty heavily? I dont know if thats how its supposed to look, but I dont think so. Does the iPad Pro have local dimming? I dont think it does
Night shift and true tone were off on both
For some reason iPads (maybe iOS in general?) do some weird adaptive brightness bullshit when watching video, regardless of auto-brightness. I've always noticed it with stuff like subtitled anime because the shade of white for subtitles will change colors when it shouldn't. As far as I can tell there's no way to turn it off either.
I've been eyeing an Ipad for awhile, but now with HDR and Dolby Vision hitting other Apple devices I'm going to wait. I bet next years Ipad Pro has HDR and Dolby Vision included.
I'm pretty sure Ipad doesn't have any HDR currently. John Wick in HDR is the great. Especially John Wick 2.
So no Dolby Vision on the Ipad Pro? Maybe next year then. Though there is a software solution now to do it.
$100 for a 5c is pretty generous. Pretty sure they're almost worthless otherwise.Hmm, seems Verizon is doing a trade-in promotion. My mom is looking to upgrade to either the 7+ (or I guess 8+ now lol) from a 5c. As of looking now it looks like a 5c trade in of $100 for an 8+ (so total would be $699) is better than any current 7+ deals. She's not really tech inclined though so I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger on upgrading for her or hoping for a better deal on the 7+ in the coming month or so...
They are lacking innovation and unique ideas. Face unlock is well over a year old and the general concern us is people do not want to use it, it is clumsy and un-intuitive.Not sure I understand what you mean by falling behind. In what way are they falling behind?
Nah, gotta take the power nap and then wake up for it.Anyone staying up to pre order stuff?

How much data do you get? I found it made more sense to upload my iTunes library to Google Play and just stream everything than to pay Apple's crazy storage upgrade prices.
What takes up the other 30-40GB (I assume you have 64GB) when you just do social media? What I'm doing with my 16GB 5S is just offloading photos and videos to iCloud. iOS is pretty smart about it and will adapt to how much storage you got left to store originals. I requires no effort whatsoever and having photos/videos always on the device I find to be negligible.
Got an 8 for my wife and 4K Apple TV. Probably wasn't necessary to preorder the TV but better safe than sorry.
Going all in on Apple. Their pitch of 4K HDR being treated the same as 1080P sold me.
No it'll be at least £70 for the 64GB X.
256GB X is 1149, so for 24m = 47.875/mth.
Vodafone already offer 20GB for GBP20 (including Spotify Premium) and at more attractive rates when bundled in contract with a flagship phone since the effective subsidy on the phone is c.5-10% of the price.
Take 10% of the retail ASP, divide by 24mths, add the service contract and you'll be at 65 ballpark for zero money down. That is already an insanely high price.
UK guys:
EE iPhone X tariffs are out. Looks like they're only doing 15GB plans and for the 64GB you're looking at either;
£99.99 upfront and £72.99 a month
£49.99 upfront and £77.99 a month

Oh yeah, we had a conversation about that in the 4K thread
Theres already 4K movies live on iTunes, by the way. I was watching some HDR John Wick on my iPad a bit earlier
Has anyone tried watching HDR movies on the iPad Pro yet? Can you actually see a difference?
https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/15/16311440/ipad-pro-hdr-movies-itunes-4kCould you tell a difference? Didn't realize iPads had HDR
