Okay, I can’t quit raving. The sound quality of this phone is markedly improved with my new headphones over my 7+. Amazing!
That’s really interesting— I know the X has BT5 but those phones don’t have BT5... I wonder if there’s something else under the hood that would cause that. What codec is it using?

Do you think the improvement is from the headphones rather than the phone?

No. Because I was using them with 7+. And was disappointed.

I don’t know what that means. Lol

Cool! Can people that do not have the X see the Animoji’s?
Yes!

Well my case just arrived from Amazon! Now I just need the phone! I'm excited about the smaller size - I never could get a great grip on the plus models for using the one-handed.
 
Anyone know what I need to do get all my 7+ photos back on my X? That seems to be only thing that’s missing.
Do you have iCloud storage to upload your photos to? (There's an option to back up your photos to iCloud, just have to have enough storage). Otherwise... if you're using a Mac, the photos app perhaps?

I'm like you-- usually do a local encrypted backup/restore to keep messages, photos and passwords intact.
 
OK so I just saw the truck go up my street, past my house and according to the tracking map it is doing a loop around the hood lol
So I bet it will come right at the last moment of the delivery window :p
 
are you restoring from an iCloud backup? If so they take a while to show up and your battery will drain real quick while it does the restore.
Okay. Thanks! I noticed that even though I had it charging, it was charging slowly. I have like 7000 pics. Lol. I have to leave in a couple hours. If I leave, will it just finish when I’m home and reconnected to Wi-Fi?
[doublepost=1509988458][/doublepost]Just pulled out Mophie wireless charging pad. I was a bit worried how’d it work with Tech21 case. Works like a charm.

Yeah it'll just update when it has connection so you won't break anything.

7,000 is hardly anything lol so it won't take long - I have 116,618 photos and 2,831 videos lol

I got a link to follow my delivery earlier, and I can see that the driver has been circling around me for the last two hours now bypassing me the whole time. He’s missed the two hour delivery window that I paid for on mine and my wife’s phones by 40 minutes now. After they are delivered I’m going to have to call UPS to dispute the charges. Half way tempted to go out there and find the driver to get our phones.
 
My wife signed for my delivery around 12:10pm EST. Can’t wait until I get home tonight. This is going to be the longest workday everrrrr!
[doublepost=1509990719][/doublepost]I probably won’t get to play with mine tonight. After seeing the test results in this thread, I’m seriously considering taking a back to the Apple store first thing in the morning to swap my T-mobile phone out for the Verizon version
 
So UPS, who gave us a 3:30-7:30 delivery time and then came this morning when we were both out. Super annoying, but I arranged to pick them up tonight. Oh well. At least we can get them today.

UPS delivered mine to the UPS Store at 9:51am this morning. If I didn't work 30 miles from that UPS Store, I'd be REALLY tempted to go pick it up over lunch. :D

One.More.Day!

I wonder how many neighborhoods one UPS truck can cover? Mine is NOT getting any closer, LOL. There is still 1 hour and 15 minutes left in the provided delivery window but this truck ain't moving that fast as far as I can tell.

Congrats about getting the phone.

Well, ❤️ my X. Signing off. Let’s say we meet back here about this time next year!
Glad you like it. Mine are on a UPS truck circling within blocks.

I guess after today the specific subject of the thread will be history, but it is kind of sad to lose close contact with all who were active. Maybe if there were a Nov 6 Club it might have more of a continuing purpose.

About the performance tests - I looked at the thread and it looked like she did a compete job with different tests and different servers. But performance is also impacted by the cellular infrastructure, including the local towers. I would put more stock into testing if it involved performing tests from different locations

We can always compare notes on accessories, etc! Right now I feel like I need a bubble wrap case. The case I have on here feels woefully inadequate although I am sure it is fine. I'm scared to death of dropping this thing!
[doublepost=1510004626][/doublepost]This display is freaking amazing. Crystal clear. My 7+ looks like an old faded photograph already.

Really it's that good?

I'm currently using a Verizon 7+... will Apple actually let you just swap out one phone for another? Is exchanging different enough from the initial purchase that they don't require you to activate the new phone on the carrier it's meant for?

I had to activate my 7+ on Verizon before I could move it over to my primary T-Mobile account.
