Is this option no longer available on the X? It's still there in iOS11 on earlier models.

Not on the X, due to space limitations in the top menu area (because of the "notch" in the middle).

Three ways to view battery percentage on the X. Plug it in (or wireless charge) and it shows on the lock screen. Access the Control Center. Ask Siri.

I did it, ordered one today. Should be here by the end of the month.

There will be a 7+ showing up in the classifieds at that time :-)

Wow.... I feel so out of touch. My 5s is still working!

You can always do what I did. Put your 5s in the pocket of your swim trunks, do some yard and pool maintenance, go for a swim to cool off.

You'll be buying a new phone the next day, guaranteed.

Rotary phones still work, but no one uses them anymore, get it?

I’m already used to not having the home button

Wasn’t really planning to upgrade from my 7+ but went ahead and pulled the trigger. Will be picking it up later today. Got my 7+ free for trading in my 6+ and changing carrier, should be able to sell it for $500 or so which softens the blow some.

Harder to resist when it is available in store for same day pick up!

Interesting that the 64gb model was being quoted as 2-3 weeks for delivery but the 256gb model is readily available if you got a grand to drop on a phone, the extra $150 to quadruple the memory seems like a no brainer to me.

Mine was delivered last week, 3 weeks early from the preorder estimated date mid dec

So far, I like it.

I'm currently evaluating photo editing apps for my "X". Anybody here use Snapped or I found a pretty cool app called Halide, which cost a couple of bucks but has a lot of great in-camera editing stuff? I like the phone though

Got my 256G last week, but I am waiting for a case before I use it. Using my 6s+ currently while my 7+ that went wonky is being replaced by insurance. In about a week I will have the 6s+ in the classifieds.

Played with my GFs a little bit. Great camera, awesome video. They still have not figured out how to put a back button on these things yet? My phone from 2010 had a back button.

Jesse, are you talking about a physical button on the back of the phone OR a button to return to the previous screen? I know that when Apple Rumors were first posting beta iPhone X's, they did have one plan for a home button located on the back of the phone.

Just being a smartass Apple hater. I have had them for work and that was my biggest gripe. A back button like on internet explorer so you can go to the previous page, last application, previous screen, etc.

For instance on here when I click on someone's provided link I read whatever it is and hit back, it closes that window and returns me to SIGforum. If I click on something from a website that asks me to download an app it takes me to google store (or whatever it's called), I review the app. I can click on reviews read a couple, hit back and it returns me to the download page for app. If I decide I don't want it, hit back one more time and return me to the original web page.

This is one of my biggest reasons I hate the iPhone series, the back button is so useful and a quick way to take you back to what led you somewhere (app, website, link, etc.). There are so many pluses to these phones, they are actually great pieces of tech, but I like my flexibility and back button that I have had for the last 7-8 years using the HTC line.

Got some more video of a match from two weeks back GF shot with her iPhone, between her gimble and the built in stabilization of the iPhone, looks like a pro shot it.

In Safari, swipe right and it goes to the previous page. When you got to a new app from an app, there is a “back” option top left corner to return to previous app. Click on a link in an email it takes you to the web page, upper leg comer is a spot to click that will take you back to email.
