The iPhone X had a relatively brief time on the market- just ten months before it was recently discontinued in favour of the XS, XS Max and XR. Regardless, many in the independent phone repair business- like ourselves- will still be paying attention to the fact that next month will be the first anniversary of the iPhone X going on sale.
Now that we’ve taken delivery of it, the penguin is on display in our Dundee store. You can visit any time and view it through the window, or come in and see us to get a better look at it.
Note: In this article, “original” refers to a screen manufactured by Apple. It doesn’t necessarily mean the specific screen that was originally fitted to a particular phone, unless stated otherwise.
What is the Ambient Light Sensor?
The ambient light sensor (ALS sensor) detects how bright the surrounding light is. Your iPhone uses the measurement it provides to automatically adjust the screen’s brightness in response to changing light conditions.
Why The ALS Sensor Is a Problem for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X Screen Replacements
We like to support local causes where possible, and Maggie’s Centres are a particularly good one. The prospect of getting a beautifully-designed piece of art and being able to support a good cause at the same time was one that appealed to us.
Overview
If you’re an Apple fan, you’re probably aware of the announcement- and impending release- of three new phones from the company. These are the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR. They replace the original iPhone X, whose discontinuation was announced at the same time (just ten months after it went on sale).
The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are scheduled for UK release on the 21st of September 2018, with the iPhone XR coming out the following month on the 26th of October.
We’ve had regular (full) sized 128GB SD memory cards in stock for a while now. Those are great if- for example- you have a camera, but for those of you looking for that massive 128GB capacity in a smaller MicroSD card that fits most phones… the good news is that they’re now here too!
Having problems with audio when making a call on your Apple iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus? Siri not responding? Your phone might have the infamous “audio IC” disease.
