iPhone X Tips and Tricks for Right When You

iPhone X Tips and Tricks for Right When You Take It Out of the Box

The iPhone X is a big departure from Apple’s usual smartphone design, swapping out the iconic home button for a full-screen display and a face-scanning front camera. As a result, Apple had to change a lot of the gestures used to control the device.

Even if you’ve owned an iPhone since the original model launched back in 2007, you may have some trouble getting comfortable with the iPhone X. In the interest of easing the transition, we’ve got some tips and tricks that should have you navigating the new phone like a pro in no time.

How to Take a Screenshot

Taking a screenshot with your iPhone used to be so simple, but ditching the home button means finding a new way to snap a photo of whatever you’re looking at onscreen. That said, the new screenshot mechanic is still pretty easy.

Just press the iPhone X’s side button and volume up button at the same time to take a screenshot. Here’s what that looks like:

How to Go Back to the Home Screen

No more home button means you can’t just press down with your thumb to jump back to the home screen on the iPhone X. Instead, Apple wants to to swipe up from the bottom of the display and quickly release. That will send you back to the home screen with a short animation.

How to Force an App to Close

If you want to close a bunch of apps at once (or force a buggy one to close) on the iPhone X you’ll need to learn another new gesture, one that’s pretty similar to the new home screen motion. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, but instead of releasing, hold your finger for an extra second until the app switcher launches. From there, you can swipe up on any app to quickly close it.

How to Force Restart

If the app you’re using completely crashes and freezes your phone, you may not be able to close it with a quick swipe. In that case, you’ll need to force the iPhone X to restart.

To reboot the new iPhone, quickly press and then release the volume up button. Then do the same thing for the volume down button. Finally, hold down the side button for roughly 10 seconds until the screen goes black, and keep holding it down until you see the Apple logo.

How to Activate Siri

You can always get Siri’s attention by just saying “Hey Siri,” but if you’d rather activate Apple’s AI assistant without speaking you’ll need to learn yet another new gesture, albeit one that’s particularly easy to remember.

All you need to do is hold down the side button for a few seconds and Siri will switch on. If you do this by mistake, you can dismiss Siri by swiping up from the bottom of the display to return to the iPhone X home screen.

How to Open the Control Center and Notification Center

By now, you’ve probably noticed that a big theme with the iPhone X is swiping up. On previous iPhones, that same gesture was used to access the Control Center. So how do you find it on Apple’s new phone?

To launch the Control Center, just swipe down from the top right corner of the screen. Having the Control Center located at the top right also means that accessing the Notification Center is now limited to the top left corner of the screen. Helpfully, there’s a big ugly notch in the middle to keep you from opening the wrong menu.

How to Quickly Disable Face ID

Finally, here’s how to switch off the iPhone X’s controversial new facial recognition software. This should come in handy if someone is trying to take your smartphone and point it at your face to unlock it, whether that’s a friend, a mugger or even the police.

To quickly disable Face ID, just press down all three physical buttons (the volume buttons and the side button) at the same time. We don’t have a GIF of this one yet, but if you need a visual aid Gadget Hacks has a useful diagram.

That should be more than enough to get started with the iPhone X. But we’ll be on the lookout for even more tutorials to help you get the most out of Apple’s new phone, so check back soon.

Know About Face ID on the iPhone X

What You Need to Know About Face ID on the iPhone X

The iPhone X’s full-screen display may be the first thing you notice about the new device, but Apple’s upgraded front-facing camera deserves your attention, too. Maybe even more so.

Apple is using the iPhone X to usher out the fingerprint-scanning standard it introduced with Touch ID and replacing it with face-scanning technology instead. Face ID is more secure (at least according to Apple) and it brings some cool new features to the $999 smartphone, alongside the privacy concerns you’d expect to accompany face-scanning technology. Here’s what you need to know.

How it works

Face ID is powered by a new TrueDepth camera system that packs a ton of technology into the small strip at the top of the screen. That includes a regular front-facing camera, an infrared camera, a dot projector, a flood illuminator, a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor.

Whenever you look at your phone, the flood illuminator detects your face. Then the infrared camera takes an IR image and the dot projector uses over 30,000 IR dots to create a dot pattern. Both sets of data are sent to the iPhone’s new A11 Bionic chip, which uses a neural network trained with over a billion images to compare it to a mathematical model of your face already stored on the device.

This should all happen quickly and seamlessly, according to Apple. The entire process is meant to be invisible to the human eye and it works in the dark.

It’s worth noting, though, that Face ID could be a little buggy at first, and Apple actually struggled to use it at one point during Tuesday’s event. To be fair, Touch ID improved over time, and Face ID will probably do the same. But you may be taking a bit of the risk if you make the switch this year by picking up an iPhone X the second it becomes available.

Better security than Touch ID

The biggest reason to use Face ID may be the possible increase to your security. Touch ID hasn’t exactly proven to be hacker-proof, and Apple says its face scanning tech is a big improvement. Only one in one million people will be able to spoof your device using Face ID, according to Apple, while for Touch ID, that number was one in 50,000.

As with Touch ID, all your Face ID data is stored locally on a secure section of the A11 processor. That means it’s not being transferred to Apple’s servers where it could be targeted by hackers.

Apple also noted that you can’t fool Face ID with a picture or a mask. The company even trained its new software with some freakishly realistic masks just to be sure.

Augmented reality and other features

The same sensors that power Face ID will also support some interesting new features, especially when it comes to augmented reality. Snapchat is already developing new filters that use the TrueDepth system, like this face paint mask that syncs perfectly with your facial movements.

Apple also showed off Animoji, a new feature for Messages that lets you record video messages as one of 12 different emoji (yes, the poop emoji is included). It’s a fun new feature, and a good example of what’s possible thanks to Face ID.

For now, these new features may feel more like gimmicks, but if Apple opens up its Face ID technology to outside developers the possibilities could be endless.

First, the company just needs to prove that its face-scanning system is good enough to replace the fingerprint scanners we’ve all come to rely on.

iOS 11 Is Full of Tiny Design Inconsistencies

iOS 11 Is Full of Tiny Design Inconsistencies beta tester Ryan Lau has detailed

Over at Hacker Noon, designer and iOS 11 beta tester Ryan Lau has detailed the myriad design errors he’s noticed in Apple’s latest mobile operating system.

These are small details—inconsistent font weights, sloppy leading, margin discrepancies. They’re the sort of boo-boos that the average user will not notice, but that will drive design geeks bananas.

I worked in digital advertising as a writer for a few years. I had an exacting art director partner, and I marveled at the way her ire was inflamed by messy UI, by stray pixels and inconsistently applied rules—by just the sort of things Lau points out in his comprehensive rundown. The best designers care about these small details, details that can imperceptibly affect user experience and distinguish great design from the merely good. If there’s one thing we expect from Apple, it’s impeccable design. We overlook the fact that competitors outmatch iPhones on features because our aesthetic sensibilities are so satisfied by Apple’s commitment to perfection. Are these little details further evidence that Apple has lost its way since Steve Jobs died? Or are they the minor hiccups expected of any new product?

Lau based his observations on iOS 11 GM, which is expected to be the final version of the operating system that will be officially released today. For those eagle-eyed fans who would prefer not to be offended by these grievous infractions, a .1 update will, with any luck, address them soon.

The Cheapest Ways to Get a New iPhone 8

The Cheapest Ways to Get a New iPhone 8 when they start shipping

If you’re dead set on getting one of the new iPhone 8s when they start shipping this Friday, you have a few options. And some of those options are significantly cheaper than others.

The basic iPhone 8 starts at $699 and up, but the real cost can vary depending on the carrier you choose and how you pay for it. Keep in mind, no carriers offer “free” iPhones for two-year contracts anymore. So you’ll either have to buy it upfront or go with a carrier installment plan. An installment plan will let you pay for the phone over time, but that can increase the cost.

WalletHub crunched all those numbers and found the cheapest options over two years for wannabe iPhone 8 owners. For the lowest cost, consider buying an iPhone 8 upfront with a no-contract plan from Walmart Family Mobile. That will cost you a grand total of $1,609 over the course of two years (a savings of up to $917 when compared to the most expensive option). If you outfit your whole family of four with new iPhones using the same plan, you’ll save around $1,700.

These costs through each carrier, which you can see in the infographic below, are only for the basic iPhone 8, however. If you’re considering an iPhone 8 plus, add at least an additional $100 to the cost. And if you’re going with an iPhone X, you’ll need to tack on an extra $300. WalletHub also has a cell phone savings calculator at the link below you can use to compare other plans if you don’t see one of your options listed.

Shouldn't Buy the iPhone X at Launch

Why You Shouldn't Buy the iPhone X at Launch, According to One of Apple's Founders

The iPhone X is almost here, but one of Apple’s biggest supporters isn’t very excited for the new phone. Steve Wozniak, the Apple co-founder who’s been cheering from the sidelines since he left the company in 1985, said he won’t be picking up the iPhone X on day one in an interview with CNBC.

If you’ve been on the fence about Apple’s new phone, Wozniak’s decision may be enough to push you over the edge. Below, his explanation for taking a pass on the newest Apple gadget:

Why Wozniak Isn’t Rushing to Buy the iPhone X

The Woz (as his friends and fans call him) didn’t offer a specific reason for his lack of interest in the iPhone X. He notes that he already has an iPhone 8, which he likes even while admitting it’s very similar to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 6 before it. So it’s possible he just doesn’t think it’s worth another upgrade this year.

“For some reason, the iPhone X is going to be the first iPhone I didn’t — on day one — upgrade to,” Wozniak told CNBC, “but my wife will, so I’ll be close enough to see it.”

The Apple co-founder also worries that Face ID—the new face-scanning technology that’s replacing the Touch ID fingerprint scanner on the iPhone X—might not work perfectly at launch. That’s a valid concern given Apple’s track record with rolling out glitchy new features, though it seems unlikely that the company would risk such a huge blunder if Face ID weren’t totally market ready.

Wozniak has also changed his tune on Apple products in the past. Last year he warned Apple not to remove the headphone jack on the iPhone 7, but came out in support of the decision after the phone was officially announced. So it’s possible we could see The Woz pick up an iPhone X pretty soon, as long as Face ID isn’t a total disaster.

In the meantime, you may want to take Wozniak’s advice and go for the iPhone 8 instead.

Should Buy AppleCare+ for the iPhone X

Why You Should Buy AppleCare+ for the iPhone X

Apple revealed how much it will cost to fix the iPhone X without AppleCare+ on Friday and it’s a lot more expensive than it used to be—probably because of that fancy new OLED display. If you’ve skipped the protection plan before, you may want to think twice this time around.

Apple’s New Repair Prices

Take a look at the chart above, which shows the cost of repairs without AppleCare+, and you’ll notice the difference immediately. Just repairing the iPhone X screen ($279) is almost twice as expensive as it was on the iPhone 8 ($149) and 8 Plus ($169). Non-screen repairs aren’t cheap either at $549, compared to $349 on the iPhone 8 and $399 on the 8 Plus.

AppleCare+ is also more expensive than it used to be, at $199 for two years of coverage, up from $129 on the iPhone 8 and $149 on the 8 Plus. But once you pay for the extended warranty, the cost of repairs goes down to $29 for screen damage and $99 for everything else. (Without AppleCare+ you’re only covered for one year and only for manufacturing defects).

That’s a lot of numbers, but what it all means is that if you break your iPhone X screen just once, you’ll save money thanks to AppleCare+, spending $228 instead of $279. With previous models, it’s actually been cheaper to go without the protection plan if you only end up cracking the screen once.

So when you’re buying the iPhone X (assuming you can even get your hands on one) take an extra minute to think about whether you should pay for AppleCare+. You’ll thank yourself a few months from now if you drop it and the screen shatters.

iOS 11's Most Obnoxious Features

For iOS 11's Most Obnoxious Features

iOS 11 brings a lot of new and exciting features to the iPhone and iPad. It also brings a lot of pretty annoying ones.

Like most new operating systems, iOS 11 has had a few hiccups during its first full week out on the town, including a bug that made it impossible for Microsoft Exchange users to send or receive emails using their iPhones.

While that email issue was fixed, some things are here to stay. Here are a few of the most obnoxious things Apple did with iOS 11.

The iPad Keyboard is Cluttered

I’ve been pretty vocal about my strong dislike for the iPad’s new Flick Keys feature, to a point that I wrote a post explaining how to turn it off. If you spend some time with the keyboard, it looks like something you could definitely get used to. However, I wish this was something you opted into rather than how Apple chose to make the default keyboard for iPad in iOS 11.

32-bit Apps Don’t Work

With iOS 11 Apple ditched support for 32-bit apps. It’s been telling developers that their apps will need to be updated to 64-bit for a while, so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. That said, if you were still using some older apps they might stop working with iOS 11, and since the developers haven’t updated them yet, chances are good those older apps will be gone forever.

Control Center Doesn’t Turn Off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

For most of us, opening the Control Center was a great way to quickly toggle off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi without having to navigate through the Settings menu on your phone or tablet. With iOS 11, those controls are still there, but they don’t actually fully turn things off. The point of leaving them on is to allow your phone to still communicate with things like the Apple Watch and Apple Pencil, but it’s pretty annoying that turning things “off” doesn’t actually do that anymore. We wrote a post detailing what you have to do now to turn off those features.

The New App Store Will Bombard you With Autoplay Ads

The new App Store is great, but it also is loaded with autoplay ads. If you want to turn them off (who actually wants autoplay ads to begin with?) you can do that by going to the Settings menu on your phone followed by iTunes & App Stores, and then toggle Video Autoplay to Off (or Wi-Fi only, if you like the ads but don’t want them eating up your data).

No Facebook or Twitter Integration

Now if you want to share things through Facebook and Twitter, you’ll need to have those apps installed on your phone rather than being able to just sign in through the Settings menu. Most people probably have the apps installed already, but if you were someone who wanted to be able to post to Facebook without having the app to distract you on your phone, now you’re SOL.

Night Shift is Hard to Find

At first glance, it looks like Apple has removed Night Shift from Control Center. Instead, Apple just relocated the feature to inside the brightness settings on the iPhone. If you’re a frequent user of the feature, we wrote up an explanation of where you can find it now, as well as how to use a new feature Apple added with iOS 11: Smart Inverse Colors.

Get iOS 11.2 Wallpapers

How to Get iOS 11.2, Which Brings iPhone X Wallpapers to Older iPhones

Apple just released iOS 11.1, but it’s already testing out the next big software update (3:22 pm - updated to reflect the public release of iOS 11.1). The first developer preview for iOS 11.2 arrived this week, bringing some small but exciting improvements to the operating system.

What’s New In iOS 11.2?

The most notable change coming to iOS may be the addition of new wallpapers that were previously limited to the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. It didn’t take long for those wallpapers to leak, but once iOS 11.2 hits, you can use them on your older iPhone without having to download images from a third-party website first.

Apple also fixed an annoying bug in its calculator app that was introduced with iOS 11. The bug sometimes caused the calculator to malfunction and spit out the wrong answer when you entered symbols into it too quickly, according to MacRumors.

Other updates include some slightly redesigned emoji, following the influx of new cartoon images added in iOS 11.1., and new loading animations for Live Photo effects. iOS 11.2 also introduces AirPlay 2 with a new system for switching between audio players, but it only works with other devices running the iOS 11.2 preview too.

How to Get iOS 11.2

Your best bet is to wait for the iOS 11.2 public beta, which is usually available a few days after each developer preview release. In the meantime, you’ll want to join the Apple Beta Software Program if you haven’t signed up in the past. You should also back up your iPhone to a Mac or PC beforehand on the off chance that something goes wrong.

Once the public beta hits, just follow the directions at the bottom of this article and those new iPhone wallpapers should be yours in no time.

iPhone X Teardown Finds More Battery

iPhone X Teardown Finds More Battery Power Than the iPhone 8 Plus

The iPhone X is finally here, and that means it’s time for the first iPhone X teardown. As usual, iFixit is doing the honors, prying open Apple’s new smartphone to see what’s inside and how hard repairs will be.

The results are in and it turns out the iPhone X actually has more battery power than the iPhone 8 Plus, despite the new phone’s smaller footprint. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean the iPhone X will last longer. Here’s what you need to know about the iPhone X and its battery life if you’re buying a new smartphone.

What iFixit Found in the iPhone X

iFixit’s teardown revealed a few surprises, but the biggest is that Apple actually packed two batteries into the iPhone X. That’s a first for the company, and it brings the device’s battery power up to a total of 2716 milliamps per hour. That’s slightly more than the iPhone 8 Plus (2691 mAh) but significantly less than Android handsets like the Galaxy Note 8 (3300 mAh) and the Pixel 2 XL (3520 mAh).

Apple was able to make space for two batteries in the iPhone X by shrinking down the footprint of its motherboard to about 70 percent of its size on the iPhone 8. They did that by actually folding the component in half and soldering it together.

iFixit also notes that the display and battery are both easy to repair on the iPhone X. As an added bonus, you can replace the screen without removing the Face ID module, which should make repairs a lot easier. Overall, the new phone earned a repairability score of 6 out of 10 overall (same as the iPhone 8 Plus).

Does More Battery Power Actually Mean More Battery Life?

You might think that the iPhone X’s extra battery power would keep it running for longer than the iPhone 8 Plus. But that’s not the case, at least according to a battery test performed by Tom’s Guide.

The tech reviews site found that the iPhone X battery actually performed slightly worse than the iPhone 8 Plus, though it easily beat the smaller iPhone 8. It also fell just short of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 Plus and Galaxy Note 8 (not pictured in the chart above), and got crushed by Google’s Pixel XL 2.

It’s not clear exactly why the iPhone X performed worse than the iPhone 8 Plus, though it’s possible the new phone’s bigger 5.8-inch screen simply uses more power. It’s also possible that Apple’s new facial recognition technology could contribute to the lower battery life, but we don’t know for sure.

So if you want a new iPhone with the best battery life you’re actually better off with the iPhone 8 Plus. And if you simply want the best battery life of any smartphone on the market, the Pixel 2 XL is the clear choice.

Get the iPhone X's Exclusive New Ringtone

How to Get the iPhone X's Exclusive New Ringtone on Your Older iPhone

One of the many ways Apple sets its smartphones apart from the herd is with special ringtones, dating back to the original iPhone and its iconic Marimba melody. The iPhone X is no different. It features an exclusive default ringtone called “Reflection,” so that everyone around you will know that you shelled out for the pricey new gadget as soon as it starts to ring.

If you’re looking to status signal without dropping $1,000 (or just really like the way “Reflection” sounds), there’s a way to get the new ringtone on your current iPhone right now for free. Here’s how to do it (courtesy of Gadget Hacks).

How to Install the iPhone X Ringtone on an Old iPhone

Before we get started, it’s probably worth listening to Reflection for yourself to decide if it’s actually worth the effort. Here’s what it sounds like:

Still interested? Great. The first thing you’ll need to do is download the Reflection audio file onto a Mac or PC. You can grab the ringtone from MediaFire right here.

Next, connect your iPhone to that computer via USB and launch iTunes. Then open the folder with your downloaded copy of Reflection and drag the file into iTunes. Drop it in the left side of the window under Tones, which should show up below your iPhone’s name.

Once that’s done, pick up your iPhone and head into Settings. Tap on “Sound & Haptics” and then “Ringtone.” You should see a new option titled “Reflection.” Select that, and you’re all finished. Now see if you can fool a few people into thinking you have an iPhone X.

New Way to Force Restart on the iPhone 8

There's a New Way to Force Restart on the iPhone 8 Here's How to Do It

Apple is quickly moving away from the classic iPhone Home button we all know and love. Last year’s iPhone 7 replaced the physical button with a touchpad and haptic feedback, and the upcoming iPhone X removes it entirely in favor of a futuristic face-scanning camera.

Ditching the Home button also means finding a new way to force your iPhone to restart since the old method no longer works. Here’s how to manually reboot your new iPhone 8 if it stops working, plus a few other more drastic options if even that doesn’t fix whatever’s wrong with your phone.

How to force restart your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus

9to5Mac has a useful guide for manually rebooting the iPhone 8 with a video tutorial, but it’s a little tricky. You’ll need to quickly press and release the Volume Up button, then do the same with Volume Down and finally hold down the Side button (previously known as the sleep/wake button) to force a restart.

The entire thing should take a little over 10 seconds. If you’re successful, the screen will turn black and then the Apple logo will appear onscreen as the iPhone 8 begins to restart.

What to do if the force restart doesn’t work

If your iPhone 8 is frozen or bricked and a force restart doesn’t help, you still have other options before schlepping to the nearest Apple Store for help.

The first is recovery-mode, which requires connecting your iPhone to a Mac. Plug it in with a USB or Lightning cable. Then do a force restart, but keep holding the Side button even after you see the Apple logo onscreen. Eventually, you’ll see an icon telling you to connect to iTunes. At this point you can release the Side button, then launch iTunes where you can either update or restore your iPhone 8's software. Once you’re done, hold down the Side button again until the Connect to iTunes icon goes away.

If that still doesn’t fix the problem you may need to change the firmware on your iPhone 8 with a Device Firmware Update. To get into DFU mode, connect your phone to a computer and do a force restart. When the screen turns black, keep holding the Side button while also holding down the Volume Down button for 5 seconds. Then let go of the Side button but keep pressing Volume Down for 10 more seconds.

The screen will stay black and you can launch iTunes on your computer. If it worked you should see a message that says “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.” When you’re done, do a force restart to return your iPhone to regular use.

Check out the video below for more help, and if you still can’t get your iPhone to work you can always head to the Apple Store for some in-person support.

How to Buy an iPhone X This Week Info

How to Buy an iPhone X This Week Info

The iPhone X, Apple’s thousand-dollar smartphone, drops Friday, November 3. If you’re waiting for the right time to buy, this week is it. Apple just revealed how to get your hands on the phone in the first round of sales (or at least try). Depending on your preferred method of acquisition, the face-scanning, notch-having iOS device could be yours without you having to heft your body to an actual Apple retail store.

Pre-Order Online (if You Can)

Save yourself the trouble of going to a physical Apple store to pre-order your iPhone X online; you can do it all from Apple’s website, or through the Apple Store app. That is, if you’re planning to stay up very late on Thursday, since pre-orders start on Friday, October 27 at 12:01 am PDT. Even though you might be second in line at your local Apple Store, pre-ordering online is a different beast entirely. Everyone around the world will be hitting Apple’s site, attempting to purchase the (homely) device. That means servers processing orders will slow to a crawl, and you might suffer from a connection timeout, which could set you back a bit or force you to restart the pre-order process entirely. Remember to breathe, or at least use a wired Internet connection.

Apple Upgrade Members Get First Dibs

Membership has its privileges, especially if you’re looking to get a new iPhone X. Eligible members of the iPhone Upgrade Program can start the upgrade process early and shave some time off their pre-order by getting their order in before the regular buyers are able to do the same. You’ll need your device’s serial number and IMEI, which you can find in your iPhone’s Settings app after going to General > About. A credit check is required, but if you pass that, you can advance through the process and get your midnight pre-order off quickly and efficiently so you can hit the sack. Over the course of two years, you’ll be paying $49.91 per month for the 64GB model, or $56.16 per month for the 256GB model.

Hit Up the Apple Store

Thrill-seekers can always try their luck and attempt to get an iPhone X in the flesh. You can walk into any Apple Store on Friday, November 3 at 8:00 am and buy one there, but you’ll probably be one of many waiting in line for the flagship device. Thanks to alleged production issues, iPhone X supplies will be limited, so waiting in line with the rest of the iPhone X faithful might not be the best idea due to the limited number of devices, combined with the early birds showing up to wait in line before you can ask Siri about Friday morning’s weather. You’re better than this. Use the Internet.

Go Through Your Carrier

Every carrier will have its own supply of iPhone X devices, but you can try to increase your chances of snagging one by following your carrier’s pre-order instructions. Pre-orders begin the same time as Apple’s own pre-order program. You can try walking into your carrier’s retail store, but the chances they’ll have enough devices to keep up with launch day demand is slim.
