iPhone X Does your plane taxi?

[synergize]

When you take the X out of airplane mode do you see the plane image move across the runway, I mean screen, kind of funny!

 

[iOS Brooks]

Yeah just noticed it, that is pretty cool!

 

[SJTrance]

I also just noticed that. Cool indeed. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

[riverfreak]

OMG. Apple must be deliberately slowing down my device. My 7+ doesn’t do this.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

Good catch. Never really thought about it.

 

[riverfreak]

Okay wait. Yeah. If I’m seeing what I think you are referring to, this animation has been present for a very long time. The plane moves from left to right across the top left corner. Is that what you mean?

That escalated quickly.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

That escalated quickly.

There are no regular stairs on MacRumors.

It's there in general in iOS 11, not just for iPhone X.

Understanding is a three-edged sword.

Yesss.

Clearly, I should have included a suitable emoji. It was, of course, a joke

Yep, it moves very quickly about 1.5 inch or so. Ready for takeoff?

I was referring to non-moving (regular) stairs.

Dang it! I totally missed your joke the first go around. And it was a good one, too.

 

[millerj123]

Well, someone made me look.

That's okay; I'm not usually that subtle.

Good catch. I think that the plane is not taxing but taking off.

Been this way on all iOS devices since at least iOS 5.

IOS 6.1.6 on an iPod 4th gen has this feature.

just looked out of curiosity
