Dropbox is definitely used a lot.

Flipboard too - a useful news aggregator.

I like the look of outlook (and some of the alternative browsers) but it irritates me how you can’t change what gets opened when you click a link - so I stick with the native ones.

Has anyone used any of the Amazon knock off Apple Watch bands? Like the Milanese or whatever?

Are they good? They’re only like $18

Anyone have an unlocked X? How was your experience with going to a carrier?

I bought the 64GB Unlocked from Apple... I popped my SIM card in and went about my day

Easy set up

I got a real nike band, and no a band is not a band. Some of those knock of bands can give you skin irritations if you have sensitive skin.

An unlocked is just pop in a sim and you’re good

I got the knockoff Milanese loop. It's nice when you first get it. Doesn't last as long as my brother's OEM one. But for $20 can't beat the price, I think it's worth.

Copped an X a few days ago. Joint is nice. Just need to get a slim case for the gym, but think I’ll rock this thing naked. Anyone just have a screen protector on their X?

I never buy screen protector but so far, with the amount of use I put this thing through. Not a single scratch! Not even those tiny hard to see ones

I’m impressed so far because all my previous phones which I put in my back pocket always ended up with deep insane scratches. My 7 looked like I rubbed it with sandpaper

ARK · Jan 1, 2018

My wifes silver with the chrome sides has scratches around the charging port and scratches above the speaker and microphone. Seems like something got caught between the case and the chrome where the speaker and microphone are. Im sure my wife scratched the area around the charging port when plugging it in. The scratched look is not good.

Thanks

Yeah I mean it’s $18 so I don’t expect it to be exactly the same as the $150 Apple one but I’m just curious if it’s even worth buying. Sounds like it is.

mister doitnice · Jan 1, 2018

I’ve used a ton of off brand Apple Watch bands. My sister just got me for my Milanese loop at thanksgiving when I gave her my series 2 so I copped a second one and now I’m rocking this black stainless steel band on my series 3. It’s super clean. Never had a single issue with any of them.

Probably been mentioned but this thread is so dense I don’t know where to begin.

Problem: woke up this morning to my home button not working and the phone stating that the Touch ID is not working. Tried restart, upgraded, reset, etc.

Even when I go into Touch ID and passcode in setting, it won’t let me enter a add fingerprint

Phone is a 7 about 6 months old. Is my only option to go into Apple and get checked out ?

Sounds like it. Seems like you did all the trouble shooting you can do on your own.
