Thank you, my point was that this has been opened up to a massive amount of device owners, and it's "sweet" because it is, not just the loops and simple export but the other choices too, the photo even had a duck in it! I didn't like Live Photos and when first released, limited functionality, but now with iOS 11, wow!

Not completely iPhone 8 but the iPhone 8 is very good at it. I'm having fencing/gates placed here and measured it with a £10 tape last week. It's very, very accurate, extremely accurate in good light.



Very basic but well implemented ARKit. Nothing has brought sensors together this nicely before. I can't wait for the next wave of apps. My old 6+ didn't do AR fully, that was a huge influence in my purchase.

The photos are handy, the accuracy of the live image is very good, I walked indoors, walked out again and the measurements were still in place.

Impressive, but that'll probably be the last time you use it for quite some time

I'll put a bet it gets used more than the tape I won't be taking to work next week.

Now I know it's not the best camera "in the world" but these are my mushrooms and this camera is doing them proud. I'm blow away by what has been achieved in 3 years, the mushrooms took longer.



That's a somewhat casual snap.

Ah this explains a lot if you eat and probably vape dodgy mushrooms.

I would if I could. These are bland to eat I’m told.

You might remember there were a few rules set after you went full retard from one custard pie too many. You broke one of those rules and were banned. I only complained when you tried to dox me and I’ll do that again.

its not like I was hacking into socail media accounts and posting up pictures eh? now that surely would call for a banning.
I'm going to encourage you because I **** you not, since you've left no body has taken the bait so well. We need another breakdown in here, lets see how long before you go full retard.

It wasn't and then I bought the pro version. Bought them a beer.

The first actual wtf job was LED string lights. I have dangerous decking in my back garden, it's often invisible and in winter better used as a skating ring. Never been so easy to do, quick measure of my intended track 10m I have/had Prime for a month, 12 mtr LED's arrive next day. Tried to get a better measurement of my intended track, nope still 10m, all straight lines super simple to measure, 3 minute job with pictures if needed. Two metres of the LED's stated length was extension cord for the solar/battery, I **** you not the lights must have been out by 10cm. I'll take a picture for you, I'm sure you love the fairy lights.

For my gates I needed to know how much concrete I'd need for parking outside.



We were on the phone at the time, sent it, done.

ARKit is iOS 11, but the iPhone 8+ is the AR daddy. It's why I had to sell my 6+ this revision.

It's fun, certainly worth £2 but I'll be looking out for a more Pro version. I'm building a carport so being able to stick a cube on the ground is pretty handy. It shows the level really well, I had a better angle but sent it and binned it, another nice iOS touch.



From tomorrow I'll be laying cables and not out of my mouth on here, that's going to be luxury, no bending down.

It does, do you think that might be for a reason or they're just messing with Apple losers?

Back to my fairy lights, at the right angle they remind me of two people on this thread, maybe three.




Why did I rob myself of the Taptic Engine for this long, I knew it was good as my watch has it, but in the phone,very nice.
