There probably is but I don’t believe it’s anywhere near the price if you replaced it out of pocket. Even with the cost of Apple care. Someone that actually has it may be able to give real numbers though.
With ios11 it is possible to easily navigate the iPad with guestures without use of the home button. I only now usually use the home button to unlock my iPad Pro and for security verification although too hope for Face ID in the next edition
Bought one today to take advantage of the extended holiday return possibility. My phone has been a 7. This is not much bigger, but navigation is totally different.
I'm finding FaceID a little temperamental in terms of how I have to hold the phone - probably a learning curve.
One of the posts above talks about one-handed difficulties. I find having to access the control panel with a swipe from the top right corner very, very difficult one handed (and I have large hands). Because of really ****** cell coverage, I turn the cell radio on and off a lot, so this could be an issue for me. We'll see. In the meantime, it's a very cool update.

Remove your current Face ID, then create it again. BUT, this time, hold the phone in a natural position, as if you're reading messages (albeit, a tad closer), and register your face. It should work better after that...
Intuitively, that seems like a brilliant suggestion (though it probably should have been obvious to me setting it up). Will do...thanks.
$29 for a damaged screen and $99 for any other damage. You get 2 incidents. The kicker, for $99, you get to do express replacement where they will just replace the whole device for you, usually with a refurbished model or even a brand new one. That means you can go ahead and use this baby naked or with the thinner iPhone cases with the comfort that you can replace it twice over 2 years.
Exactly. The only use of the home button on an iPad for me is Touch ID. Transition to face ID couldn't be easier for me. There are already multitasking gestures (four finger pinch, four finger swipe, etc.) since the iOS 4.3 era in 2011 and I'm interested to see how Apple will reconcile the new swiping actions from the iPhone X.
I tried that and hate where it’s located to access it. It’s like almost at the screen edge.
Plus what I think what plays into the issue for be besides difficulty navigating is the weight. Sort of top heavy-ish when you’re trying to access reachability. I use reachability a lot on my 7 and the weight feels centered when I tap the home button. I can actually clench the 7 in my hand very securely and tap to get reachability.
I wonder how many people will want an X Plus if they come out in one year? My main reason to have a 7 Plus was the better camera than the 7. As I use my phone mainly on the hoof, to take photos, phone calls or for quick reference (preferring to use an iPad Pro where possible) - I may stick with the more carry-friendly X size.
ijustine YouTube shows setting up face id and in another clip using it. Rolling your face rather than static position.
Best if you set up virtual home button using Accessibility - you can define the button to open control center
Tried that and the virtual home button always defaults to the top right then I have to move it.
The battery is beyond crazy on this! I'm at 65% at 14:38. This is from it being off charge since 07:00 the previous morning. I could probably get 3 days use out of this.
Curious. Is it just me or does crossing the point of no return (14-day return that is) feel liberating?
Now that I don’t have to think about keeping it or not, I enjoyed it more on my commute to work. It’s my iPhone now.

I use the Caudabe Veil XT. Really not a ton of protection, but I have dropped phones before in the same case and not had any problems. You would still have to be relatively careful with it, but adds zero bulk. I agree though, I wish I could go naked with the X.
You must not use your phone much then. There is no way I would get that from my X. I use it a lot.

Nope never crossed my mine to return this gorgeous piece of technology.
Lol I'm rolling with apples silicone cases. Not made as good as previous ones as after a few days you can see shining on the case? 6 and 7 cases were made much better. Even still...grippy and adds that back and side protection which is what I want.
