Well, good to know, even if you're not David. :) I didn't mind the design, actually I rather liked it. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 26, 2017, at 11:51 AM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > > I definitely found the upgrade worth it as I got fed up with the same design > and I don't think

Well, I caved. lol

Before the X was released, I had been thinking I would buy it, so that I could keep my 7 and use it as an iPod. My current iPod is a 5th Gen Touch, and it's gotten so slow that I've come close to hurling it at the wall more than once. Last night, after my husband and I went to the VZ store,

Re: Seventh Heaven Apples, Anyone?

Hey Simon, Well, thanks for the explanation. I'm glad to hear it's so easy to adapt to the new gestures. I actually went to the VZ store yesterday and looked at the two new phones for the first time. I do have to admit the 10 is a sleek-looking phone. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 25, 2017, at

I definitely found the upgrade worth it as I got fed up with the same design and I don't think I'll be upgrading again for a very long time! Sorry I'm not David. > On 26 Nov 2017, at 12:39, Donna Goodin wrote: > > Good to know, David, thanks. Just curious, did you find the

Re: setting up face recognition

Well Donna, it couldn’t be easier. One, open the face recognition settings. Of course, if you’re setting up your iPhone for the first time, it will already put you there in the first place anyway when you get to the right spot. Two, make sure after you press the get started button to hold

Good to know, David, thanks. Just curious, did you find the upgrade to the 10 worth it? If yes, what were you upgrading from? Cheers, Donna > On Nov 25, 2017, at 6:05 PM, David Chittenden wrote: > > I find the new gesture to be easy now. I just start sliding my finger up

setting up face recognition

Hi all, Just thought I'd start getting ready. What's the deal with setting up face recognition on the X? Do I need sighted assistance? If not, what do I need to do? Cheers, Donna -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list. If you have any

It really does, Ray. This makes perfect sense, and it's helpful to know ahead of time what I need to do. Thanks so much. Best, Donna > On Nov 26, 2017, at 12:18 PM, Raymond Foret Jr wrote: > > Well Donna, it couldn’t be easier. > > > One, open the face recognition

Re: Seventh Heaven Apples, Anyone?

Yes, I found the upgrade to be worth it. Then again, my plan gives me a new phone upgrade once every 12 months. I upgraded from an iPhone 7. If I wait two years, I get to keep the old phone. If I upgrade, I need to trade the old phone in. Kind regards, David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email:

Re: setting up face recognition

Thanks, Kawal. Sorry, but I did have to laugh. :) In front of your stomach? Not sure how that works, but I'll take your word for it. I'll be very curious to see how this all plays out. Thanks for the tips. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 26, 2017, at 3:54 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu

Re: setting up face recognition

Also the phone bleeps when you do set up Face ID and Voice over tells you when you are looking straight in to the centre. There is a bright light on it too which I can see with my good eye. Also, set up Face ID when you have set up the phone so skip it when you are setting up the phone as

Re: Seventh Heaven Apples, Anyone?

That's good to hear. I have a similar plan, otherwise this absolutely wouldn't be happening. If I weren't buying out my 7, the upgrade would have been quite inexpensive, and I have to say, for that price, it definitely would be worth it. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 26, 2017, at 4:15 PM, David

RE: Well, I caved. lol

Hello Donna, That's wonderful. What a marvelous Christmas present. Yesterday, two friends and I walked into an Apple Store. Quite off-handedly, one of my friends asked if they had any iPhone 10s in stock. All three of us were expecting the Apple employee to say, "No." However, she said,

Re: Well, I caved. lol

Wow, you guys really lucked out! I'm waiting till mine arrives in mid December. It's kind of funny. I wasn't rushing out to get the new phone, but now that mine's been ordered, I can't wait to get it. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 26, 2017, at 6:31 PM, M. Taylor wrote: > > Hello

Re: Seventh Heaven Apples, Anyone?

I agree with you, Simon. But to be fair, smart phone technology just isn't making the same leaps and bounds it was a few years ago, so it's harder to be truly innovative. I wonder, though, what this iPhone would have looked like if Steve Jobs was still steering the ship. Cheers, Donna > On

RE: Seventh Heaven Apples, Anyone?

Hi Donna, Yah it is but I'm still finding the size odd. Really that's about it in the way of cons for me. I'm getting good battery life out of it and the gestures haven't really troubled me. I've just gotta find myself a nice leather wallet currently I've got a cheap crappy one. If I could

I was lucky enough to get mine on launch day. I didn’t get it from my carrier though, I have a friend who is a verizon customer, he added a line to his account, and gave me the phone. Of course I am paying him for it, but T-Mobile only opened the doors on launch day to tell customers they

Oh and Donna, If you haven't seen the feature before, Once you have done the setup of your language and region for your new phone, It has a quick setup assistant which asks you to just put your old phone or 7+ beside and it will sync a number of things between the devices, Regards, Simon

RE: setting up face recognition

Hi Donna, I'd say you'll have no issues. I don't think you'll need sighted help, It has very good instructions on how or what to do to set it up. I was a bit unsure att the start and it was also dark so I set the phone up and used only the pin code for a few days till I could sit back and

Hi Donna, What would you do if we told you we all lied and we hate our ten? But hey I'm not going to do that. Great job hope once it arrives you really enjoy it. And don't throw your iPod they do still have use. Good luck and let us know if you have trouble and how of course you get on.
