So after a couple of days with the 7 Plus, i'm in love with the device.

I know not everyone can justify the upgrade from a 6s Plus to the 7 Plus, but IMO, the camera alone is worth it.

The picture quality out of this thing is amazing, i'm delighted with it.

To avoid that, i just gave my 6s+ to the wife, and gave her old 6+ to my little brother.

Brownie points all round!

I moved from a Note 4 to iphone7+ after the Note7 debacle. I'm well used to IOS but always preferred the Note because of the size and the pen. So Far I'm very happy... I got around he pen bit by using and adonit one and a myscript plugin. I don't think there is anything i now miss on the note bar the customisation. i even have my android wear watch working albeit not as well. I have an apple watch too but I still prefer my huawei watch.

One thing i would have liked would have been the addition of apple pencil support (i have a iPad pro too) as it would have saved me on the adonit purchase. Camera is nice and I like the the live photos and the new portrait mode.

so far i'm a happy user

One complaint, bloody tricky to take a photo when you have wax on your fingers

And a fecken plan trying to clean the phone afterwards

Hissing Sideban

Not impressed at all with the call audio on my iPhone 7 I got the other day, sounds like its on speaker when its not, boxy sounding. I just Googled it and it seems to be an issue others have noticed. Anyone else noticed this? Came from A 5C which sounded fine, like the 4S, 3, and 2 I had before.

Anyone able to recommend a good iPhone 7 Plus tempered glass screen protector?

I dont trust the reviews of ones on Amazon since most of them are shills for a free product and many of them are mixed in with reviews of glass protectors for other/older devices.

Yeah, just logged into my accounts on all my apps and set it up this AM. Still getting used to iOS.

Iphone 7 jet black arrived today!

I noticed straight away that the screen on the 7 was noticeably yellower than my 6. Also not quite as bright on the same brightness setting. Maybe a notch dimmer. Display accommodation fixed the tint problem fairly well.

Picked up my Matt black iPhone 7 plus (128gb) last Friday. I'd upgraded from an iPhone 5 so it was a major upgrade for me. I had dithered over the size of the plus versus the "ordinary" 7 and I'm delighted I went with the plus as the screen size is amazing, picture is amazing and the sound is amazing! It's also so much faster than the old handset and the sound quality on voice calls through the handset and on Bluetooth in the car is noticeably better. I bought an otterbox case for it for protection and a Kenu airframe+ to hold it in the car.

Still finding new things about it everyday but it was worth the outlay!

The battery life on my 6 is absolutely rubbish. Was hoping to see people saying positive things about the 7 but I think I'm going to have to jump ship to an Android

I have a lot of music on my laptop, burned from CDs, but running Vista so cannot download latest version of iTunes... iPhone 7 won't connect with it so can't transfer the music to my phone

The battery life on the 7 is excellent. I'm getting much better performance than I did on my 6. Charging every second day (just to be sure, could probably go a third), where as I had to charge daily with the 6.

You disgust me
iPhone 7 is awesome. Ignore the naysayers... Go get one and stay on the right side of the force.

Went and got a matte black iPhone 7 from iConnect today and initiated a return of my 7 jet black. Just wasn't feeling the jet black finish.

Battery life on my 7plus is unbelievable. I charge it up in the evening and by morning it's at 99%, by the next evening it's at 80-85% and that's after using it for calls, emails, satnav while driving, Facebook etc. I could let it go for three days easily without a charge. Haven't had a phone with battery life like that since my old Nokia 3310!

Lads found this thread! Have had the iPhone 7 Plus in Rose Gold since Day 1 (well day 2 for my sis to deliver to me) and I love it.

The camera is awesome and a keen wildlife photographer in the office v impressed with it

The screen means I'm using my MacBook less and the battery life is great. Got a leather wallet off eBay and toughened glass in Fixmyi

Again, Delighted to remain with Apple

For to unlock an iPhone using touchID, do you have to press the home "button"? Or can you just place your finger on the it?

deadanonymau5

As usual the iPhone charges faster with the iPad charger instead of the one in the box :mad:

Ignore the eejit trying to go viral with the #gate shi7e

The Ayatolla

That's common sense. The iPad charger is rated higher.

Luckily I have two iPad chargers lying around so they're great if you need a quick boost.

There's a setting you can change that allows you to rest your finger to unlock.
Settings > General > Accessibility > Home button and turn on the switch for rest finger to open.
