1. Can I assign an MP3 song as a ringtone without use of iTunes or GarageBand?
2. Can I play YouTube whilst the screen is locked?
3. Has Safari got a built-in VPN? And does it have option to "remember" passwords?
4. Has there been improvements to the Google Drive on the Files app?
5. Can I directly reply to an SMS sent whilst on the lockscreen?
6. Can I edit a saved pdf file in Books app?
7. When on Twitter or Safari does an embedded Youtube link open up within a browser or to the actual app itself?
8. Does iOS 12 have option to assign fast dial to the keypad?
9. Does it allow you to delete multiple Contacts at once?
I made some research but I am unable to find answers to these hence my ask for help. Thanks.

Kingslayer, 30 Sep 2018This iPhone is the one I'm eyeing because it's the smallest... moreApple had problems with base frequency of the chip, because, tested 2.7Ghz frequency was way too inefficient for a 7nm chip, so they decided to lower the frequency of the CPU to maintain the battery efficiency, while the performance was harmed a bit, but yet faster than A11 Bionic.

If they won't, iPhones would have been at least 8 or 9mm thick (Note9 is 8.8). iPhone Xs/ Xs Max are 7.7mm thick both and have average size batteries for their screen size, but are the fastest around with single-core and multi-core scores unmatched by any other phone. Xs Max should have an endurance rating of about 86h with a battery 22% smaller than Note9 but with a superior CPU compared to SD845 or E8910.

The so-called chargegate is indeed a software-related issue and has nothing to be with the charging cable, brick or lightning port. Apple made some changes as belong to encryption in iOS 12 and it might be the defective software related to it that cause this malfunction. They surely will fix this in the next update

This iPhone is the one I'm eyeing because it's the smallest of the three and I might need that extra gig of RAM compared to the XR in the longer run. But the A12's 15% CPU gain from its predecessor is the smallest in recent memory.
Unless you still have a 5s/6/6s/SE, you really wouldn't feel any difference in performance. I think even having a 7, the difference would still feel negligible. Apple really nailed SoC with the A9 chip. Apple has now stretched necessary upgrade cycles from 2 to 4.

i don't know why They always give poor battery capacity which don't go more than 90+ endurance.
Or maybe it is iPhone's feature that suits it, to have low battery with low endurance rating.

Looking at build quality and RAM management we won't do much with multi tasking after paying such a huge money, yes I do agree no one forcing me to buy iPhone nor paying me to write this, atleast don't come with defending logics to make iPhone a superior phone ever than other phone, it doesn't do some of the basics which android does

sam sa, 29 Sep 2018Hi
I want to buy a phone but I'm confused between note 9 ... moreWell it depends on what you want:
Note9
- More features (2 apps for everything: one by google the other by samsung)
- Productivity tool (S pen functionality)
- Better battery life
- Larger screen
Xs
- Better speed (the fastest CPU right now)
- Better camera
- Better screen (although smaller)
- Sluggish charge (5W vs 10W of Note9)
- More secure authentication (fingerprint reader is more convenient though)
Both cost about the same though, at USD 999, GBP 1099 or EUR 1099

Picked up an XS last Saturday coming off a Nokia 920. Screen is great, very bright and sharp. Video playback is near perfect. Body size is just right. The Plus/max phones are just a bit too wide and tablet-like for me. The XS is the same width as my 920 with a body about half an inch taller with a screen about an inch and a half taller. Comparing the screen to my mom's 8 Plus they are very comparable in clarity, color, and brightness. The XS's AMOLED might have a slight edge but there will be burn in sooner or later... suffered that fate with my Nokia 808. I'd rather it have an LCD for longevity if it were the quality of the 8 Plus's screen. Lack of home button is an improvement, can't stand it on my mom's phone. Notch isn't distracting IMO, adds a little style for good or bad depending on your taste. Without it, the phone would look a little plain. iOS 12 is snappy, not much to complain about. Battery life is acceptable but not great. The 920 does have some features that I miss but the XS kills it overall of course. I miss the 3.5mm jack most of all. Haven't tested out the camera much but a couple shots turned out nice. Overall, the XS won't disappoint but it's not cheap. With the higher price comes a very cohesive package in terms of hardware and software, design and function. Not perfect but no phone is.

Then, we all shouldn't complain anything on all other Android smartphone out there when it is not Apple's iPhone, where each of the Android smartphone out there regardless of pricing is decent enough in their own.
Owning an Android smartphone is not low class either, especially the cheaper one.

Anonymous, 27 Sep 2018It's barely an iterative upgrade from the X, however if you... moreAndroid are for long term investment too.
I got a Samsung S4 Active from 5 years ago, it is still working today.
Yes, it is being stuck at Android 5.1.1, but it never is unsupported, all of it's functionality including NFC is still working, OTG, Bluetooth, Micro SD card, apps also can be upgrade without any issue. It also got the removable battery, I got replace it with an OEM brand battery and it is working like new. This one is also a rare breed where it spot a LCD rather than AMOLED, which doesn't has the AMOLED phosphor short lifetime degrade issue. It only loose on black level, but everything on it is fantastic, look as good as first time bought it. I give it to my family member. This is one of the very first phone to support the 4G network in my country.
Longevity you say for only iPhone? Don't make me started again.

It's barely an iterative upgrade from the X, however if you've got an older model and money to burn, I think it's worth it. iPhones are a long-term investment. They have better longevity and regular updates compared to a lot of android phones that become unsupported after a few years.
