Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

For its part, Xenforo (the SatelliteGuys forum software) has direct support for Passkeys in version 2.3 and later.

And as far as I can tell they don't work.

Took profits on my shares of Apple stock today with a limit order of $256. I am completely out now.
Made $50 a share since August 7. Now wait for the pull back. Paid for the 17Pro.

Seems the new A19+ has a heat problem. Black in anything is not good for heat.

We discovered a problem that coincidentally has been confirmed not the new iphone
We had this Blood Pressure cuff from Qardio that we have been using for a number of years. When the App was transferred to the new 17Pro, it required my wife to log into the account again activate. Got a message that the account server can not be reached, check your internet. That was not the problem. I opened the app on my iphone and it was fine. Today we tried again thinking maybe their server was down. Same request to log in. I did some searching and discovered the company was in bankruptcy and shut down. Mine works fine because the app was activated and only server access to stored data is unavailable. What's on my iphone still is there. Ordered a new BP monitor from iHeart for her to use.

TheForce I wasn't trying to say there is a serious problem with the iPhone 17 Pro, just that most any anodized phone, including the new iPhone 17 Pro, can be scratched in one particular area. 9to5Mac has reported that their iPhone 17 Pro has not seen this in their two weeks of use, mostly case-free.

It wouldn’t be a new iPhone launch without some drama. While the iPhone Air has impressed in all bend and...

Most people of a certain age treat their equipment with respect and care. My iPhone 13 looks as good as the day I got it four years ago. Its leather case, on the other hand, has seen some scuffs but that's part of the patina of a well-utilized device.

The JerryRig channel has some educational value, but probably the one test that I pay attention to is the screen scratch test using MOHS 2-9. This shows that the new iPhone screens do not scratch at MOHS 6 and barely show marks at MOHS 7, far more durable than the previous generation iPhones and most smartphones on the market today. It is ironic that his channel pushes a screen protector that will scratch before the phone's screen will. His sponsor needs to up their game!

Roland, I wasn't blaming you. I just feel some YT videos seek click bates. Others are some how worried over the competition because they have FOMO being a non Apple user so they try to force damage or try to make the Apple product mal function.

On the LCD screen, I've seen quite a few iphones with cracked screens in the past but they are still in use. I tend to blame the owner for carelessness and Apple for failure to add the screen protectors as standard. Seems the new ceramic glass is a step in the right direction.

Personally, there is a reason why I buy a silicone bumper case for our phones is because accidents do happen, the phones are slippery and can slid off a table, and finally, keeps the phone looking better for trade-in value. My wife's 12 mini doesn't have a scratch on it and she tosses it in her purse next to her keys and other junk. What's wrong with the 12 mini is old technology, and battery life.

click bates

The correct term is "clickbait". "bating" is something completely different.
