Yeah a really effective technique to thwart illegal activity is to remove the incentive and let word get around. Once it started to become common knowledge that iPhones do things that make it impossible to resell them illegally then people stopped wanting to steal them so much. There’s a correlation between thieves sophisticated enough to know how to steal someone’s phone in a way that they can’t get it back and thieves smart enough to know to avoid iPhones because they’re less lucrative.

No, as soon as the restore happens, it asks for the Apple ID login and password. There is no way to complete a restore because the phone is locked to an AppleID during the activation process.
Basically there is no way to wipe a stolen phone and get it to normal. The most that thieves do now is they keep using the phone with existing account locked to it, which leads to hilarious iCloud photo uploads of the thief. They owner can then notify authorities where they are, what they look like, etc, and then deactivate the phone which effectively bricks it.

Yes. My OG Nexus6 was lifted at a party, despite being locked and encrypted. I really wish I could find out if the IEMI ever registered somewhere else in the state after that night.
I was pissed precisely because I knew they had stolen a brick, it would wipe itself on the next powerup, and would show up as stolen, so why bother? It couldn't have even been used once and then thrown away.

One of the things they were saying was that their “dot projector” or whatever they called it makes a bump map of your face. I presume that this aids in using Face ID in the dark.
If so, then I wonder if it considers skin color at all? These fake faces could use #FFFFFF as their color and it wouldn’t make a difference though I don’t know if that’s more or less creepy on stage.-

that you should be able to do. while you only have one eye open because you're half asleep? maybe not

I guess I will be eternally grateful to the company that made me a millionaire.
And I own call options still.

They did the Microsoft thing. They also skipped over the 7S.
-
They did this with the Mac where they announced Mac OS 8 and that they were developing Mac OS X at the same time. Mac OS X being years down the road T that point, so far in the future that there was a Mac OS 9 as well.
So I wonder if they’ll have an iPhone 9 next year or if they’ll try to make the whole line be like the X (notch, no button, etc.)
Or if they’ll go the Mega Man route and instead of iPhone XI they’ll release he iPhone X2.-
I think that is possible.
iPhone 9 and iPhone X1

They need to just call it Apple Phone and start over.

I'm betting they kill off the 's' branding

They should have used this pic of Steve Jobs

OK so iTunes removed the App Store. Now you can't use it to download apps and then sync them to your phone via Lightning cable.
I'm personally fine with this, some people are up in arms about it (iTunes is one of those "water on pavement" things where every little change outrages millions of people even though they make up a tiny percentage of users).
But now when you click on an iTunes link for an app it tries to open iTunes (if you've allowed this, and Safari on the Mac does by default I think), which now can't open it because it doesn't have the App Store anymore and so it launches the webpage, when then tries to launch iTunes, etc. It's an infinite loop.
So at some point you're frantically closing tabs to close the cycle. They need to fix that soon.-
I really want Apple to completely rewrite iTunes and remove all the syncing shit completely. It should be an Apple Music, Videos, and Podcasts app only. Then on top of that they can reintroduce iSync as a way to manage OS firmware stuff as well as sync media if you really want it.
There is no reason to have all this bullshit in a single app.-
They can call it "iMedia" and get rid of iTunes completely.

To me it reads "bloated content management junk that never works quite right". Eventually enough people will agree.
-
-
Then it eventually goes away on its own and is no longer a brand name worth reviving.
-
-
-
-
-
That's...actually awesome.
-
(For my use-case. I got tired of iTunes downloading apps to my fucking computer. I know you could probably change it, but I was too lazy. And now I don't have to figure this shit out!)

I way I was more excited about new iPhones these days :(
My 6S+, long paid off, is still a beast.
-
Yeah. Phones just last so long these days, both because of how powerful they are and how giant leaps in progress have slowed down, that I think many of us know when they're going to upgrade regardless of the product itself. The announcement is sometimes just learning what you're going to get.
Like for me, I have a Nexus 6P and I'm excited to see the Pixel 2 reveal because it means whatever I get NEXT year will be better than that, or will be better than the iPhone 8/X.
It's kind of like being interested in CPU and TV advancements, even though those upgrade rates are even slower.

Is it pronounced iPhone "Ex" or iPhone "Ten"

I feel like they could have easily added the face stuff to iPhone 8 (keeping the home button as well) to get more data, work out kinks, and get more people used to the idea. That would also let more users enjoy the animated poop emoji. They didn't though because that's really all the X offers for its premium.

I am buying the phone, I just wanted to do something with my funny screencaps.
-
-
Yeah, I think it is fair to debate the qualities of these $1000 plus devices.
