Poll: ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **
- Thread starter Robbo
- Start date
Well this is something I never thought I'd be saying but I think it's bye bye Android and hello iPhone 7 Plus.
It's been a long time since I had one of the very first iPhones and a lot has changed. I've been looking at the 7 Plus and have fallen in love with it, the only bit I don't like is the price but I guess you get what you pay for.
The other problem is all my iPhone using friends will be paying me back for all the stick I've given them over the last couple of years

The headphone jack being gone doesn't bother me, in fact as I'm also getting the watch I've been eyeing up wireless headphones as it will work on both the phone and the watch.
it's the reality distortion field
In fairness I draw the line there, I see a lot of bluetooth headphones and there's much better out there, more stylish, better fitting etc etc.
Yeah, I expect I'd buy them and then be annoyed after about 5 minutes how rubbish and tinny they sound.
If I could get some wireless headphones which mach the quality I get from my Sennheiser SP25 IIs I'd consider investing

They do Momentum On/over Ear that are wireless/wired and I preferred the wired versions to my SP25's. Pricey though.
At almost £300 you weren't joking! Do you own them? I guess if you have SP25s and prefer these they must be an upgrade? I just love how sturdy my SP25s are. They've been through a lot of wars and still going strong all these years later

I have the old wired Momentum over ears, I can't imagine the newer ones sound worse.

My phone changed to preparing for dispatch a day or two ago and my watch changed to preparing for dispatch today.

4x the speed doesn't seem like the same to me.
If you are going by the chassis only

Compared to an iPhone 6, the same phone I own I'm gaining.
Much faster CPU/GPU
Much better front/back camera
Live Photos
2nd gen TouchID
Faster wireless/LTE with more LTE bands
2GB of RAM compared to 1GB
Stereo Speakers
Wide colour gamut screen
I'm sure I've missed some stuff, but it's hardly 'almost the same phone'
If I had a 6S I'd probably not upgrade, but it's a fairly big update over an iPhone 6.

Still says processing on mine.
Why?
It's a computer. An incredibly complex, miniature computer you can carry in your pocket. No one would blink at spending £819 on a high-end laptop but they moan about a phone that costs the same.

Same here but I'm collecting mine from store so I fully expect it to switch from "processing" to "ready for collection" at some point on Friday.

People always confuse "it looks the same" with "it's just the same phone". I was asked when I went from the 6plus to the 6Splus why I'd got a new phone when it was exactly the same as the old one. I have no doubt the same will happen next week.
I'm quite happy that the 7 is the same size as the 6s because it'll fit in my very snug car bracket.
I don't understand why so many people think the form factor should change with every single release.
/edit - both phone and watch now say preparing for dispatch and 'delivers 16/09'

Trying to get a Plus model but it seems i gotta wait a few weeks. Trying to get a good deal on one is tough going also.
To be expected though always sell like hot cakes.
