Recap #8, or what happened last week

It's Sunday, so we can take a look at what interesting things have happened in the world of Apple over the past seven days. The most important event of all was the launch of pre-orders for the new iPhone X on Friday. But it was certainly not the only highlight of the week. But judge for yourself.

At the beginning of the week, we showed you some photos of what the newly opened Apple Store in Chicago, USA looks like. Its design is based on the new concept of Apple stores, making it a really beautiful place. We can only hope that something similar will appear in our country in the near future.

Another big news was the information that the American airline Delta Airlines is adopting Apple products on a large scale. It will be thousands of iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro that will be used by the crew to make their work easier on board.

At the beginning of the week, there was also interesting information on the website that iOS 11 contains a bug in the calculator, which everyone can also try. This is a bug caused by slow animations and a fix is ​​already being worked on. You can read below how the bug works and how to replicate it.

On Tuesday, we wrote about the big step that awaits the payment service Apple Pay. From the middle of next year, it will be possible to pay with it in New York public transport, which is used by tens of millions of people every day.

We brought you information on Wednesday that he had an Apple reduce demands on component quality for the Face ID module, in order to speed up the production of individual components. As it turned out the next day, the report was most likely fake (unless you believe in conspiracy theories, that is…)

On Wednesday evening, we also brought you instructions on how to secure (or at least increase your chances of) pre-ordering an iPhone X on Friday and getting it delivered as soon as possible. On Friday, you wrote to us in the comments that the guide helped you. So we recommend saving it, as you will be able to use it every time you start selling new products.

On Thursday, a study appeared on the web in which all current Apple products were designed in the style of the iPhone X. That is, with a display across the entire front and a small cutout at the top. If you are interested in how iPads, Apple Watch, MacBooks or iMacs would look with this design, take a look at the article below.

On Friday morning, the long-awaited iPhone X went on sale. The launch was accompanied by problems, the pre-order system was unavailable for the citizens of the Czech Republic for a long time, so it certainly did not reach everyone. The waiting time also started to increase very quickly, which is now at the level of about six weeks.

Today's recap also ends with the iPhone X. After the start of pre-orders, information appeared on Apple's website about how expensive out-of-warranty service will be for this model. As it turned out, repairing the display will cost almost the same as a new iPhone SE. The repair of other serious damages will then be even more expensive...
