Discussion What's the first thing you do with a new iPhone?

Got my new one this past thursday afternoon, and before i'd even touched iCloud, step one was peeling the factory film and getting a screen protector on – maybe 30 seconds apart! (my record is 3 cracked screens in 10 years and i have never once lined one of these up straight by hand... so i wasn't gambling this time, there was an anker tempered glass screen protector out on the counter ready to go, this one comes with an alignment frame that clicks over the phone + auto dust removal) Here's hoping this screen outlives the last 3!

Then the settings round. Keyboard clicks: gone. Haptics: on. Action button now does the flashlight. Raise to Wake got shut off too, since my screen lighting up everytime i roll over in bed is a hard no!! Always on display off as well – and about a week later i'll cave and switch it back on, same as every year!!

Take a photo and ask if I got the best color.

Getting the screen protector on perfectly before doing anything else is so real 😂 I also turn off keyboard clicks immediately.

Drop it then complain about it on Reddit.

How does raise to wake light up your phone when you roll over in bed? Do you sleep with the phone in your hand? I got lost on that one

Kinda curious about that myself. Sounds like he was referring to his watch instead.

Frustratingly try to sync my backup with a windows pc and the terrible program apple has us use to do so.

Scratch it so the rest of them aren’t so bad.
