Neat, wireless charging, exactly like I had on my Nexus 5, around 5 years ago :) The best thing about the iPhone 8 is that it might finally make wireless chargers more commonplace, they are extremely convenient as Android users have been trying to tell for years. Here's another one trick Apple might want to pick up on: I own both an iPhone 7 and a Nexus 6P, and the fingerprint sensor being in the middle of the back o…

Why do't you just open a warranty claim and have Apple send you a new one? Takes about 60 seconds on the website or in the apple support app.
I can make a warranty claim for the original headphones (which did break within about 6 months of use) themselves online, and pay $33 until I send the broken ones back. As far as I know there's no online process for replacing the adapter. I could take it to the Apple Store and probably get either replaced at no upfront cost, but that's a two hour drive for me, and none of these options solve the problem of Apple sell…

> that can be jailbroken Yeah, I think waiting for Apple to give you that is probably some misplaced hope.
nah, with this I'm looking for a used SE on 9.3.3. If I can't have that, I can live without the tiny text I hold so dearly. The LittleBrother functionality is something I'm surprised Apple hasn't included with its stock OS.

You do realize that resizing the system's text size is a standard feature in IOS right? Display & Brightness -> Text size. You can both increase and decrease the size considerably.
When I was using an Android phone it was handy because I could get the tablet UI for most apps.

> They did say you have to look directly at the phone. But it will work with sunglasses too? I find it hard to believe. Just slap some sunglasses on the perp and unlock his phone. easy peezy.
It learns your face and can work around haircuts, sunglasses etc.

My problem with wireless charging is that it gets my Nexus 4 crazy hot because of the induction. But that may be my cheapo charger, I dont know.
I had the same problem with my Nexus 4 and a nokia qi charger. The battery life got significantly worse in the months after I started using it. I have no way of knowing if that was the cause, but it seemed likely at the time.

That was my problem as well. The other problem that I had (which turned out to be a deal breaker) was that in order for the phone to charge, you had to place it just right on the charging pad. Otherwise it would show that it was charging (you'd see the lightning bolt on the battery icon), but the phone wouldn't actually charge. In practice, this meant that wireless charging was actually considerably less convenient t…
