no - your question was "It sounds like you're concluding the airpods that will have good sound quality?" - I'm concluding that airpods will have sub-par sound quality.

Oh sorry my bad, I just reread your post and I see that now. Well, I'm sure pretty much all of them will have better sound quality but that still doesn't get your round any of the other issues, in my experience they're also much bulkier and therefore heavier and more noticeable than ones with a wire, I guess I've tried about 5 different ones including the high priced Moto Verves and honestly haven't liked any and they've had dropouts with signal issues, frankly I'm not even sure how I feel about transmitting a bluetooth signal through my head.

I really don't think the technology is quite there yet, its coming fast but not yet.

Just bought a 7 128gig about a week ago but was looking for a decent tempered glass protector I've grabbed one off ebay for the wife's I phone 7 and it seem pretty short around the edges ? So little protection there is this normal last phones we both had were the 5 and 5c and they seems to fit really well.

Could anyone suggest any please.

Thanks.

That's really common, the bargain you have to strike with iPhone 6/7 glass screen protectors is how much of the it covers, how well it stays stuck down and how easily it chips because the glass starts to curve before the end of the LCD meaning there's not a flat surface to stick to all the way to what you perceive as the edge. In fact they often cause odd strobing effects on the very edges where it distorts or refracts the screen image.

You can get wider but they chip a lot easier and often don't stick down because they really want to be flat.

I'm starting to see things like film/glass hybrids where the very edges are like a silicone or something but the middle is glass so it wraps round the screen better but the edges are flexible. I'm pretty sure Zagg and/or Griffin have options like that.

Ultimately about 90% of the brands you may be recommended will just be from the same bulk mfrs that supplied the one you've got (and half of the major brands too, most use contract mfrs/buy the same white label stuff everyone else does).

Personally I've been trusting my screen to liquid screen protectors for about a year and I've been pleasantly surprised, I was really sceptical but it appears either screens have gotten way stronger in the last few years since I dared go bare, I've not been unlucky for ages or they actually work.

I've tried Shark Proof and Crystallusion and again I suspect they're pretty similar and both seem to have worked a treat.

Thank you for your reply seems we'll have to stick with what we have then .

Thanks once more .
 
Really liking the portrait mode. It does a pretty good approximation of a wide aperture lens on a proper camera.
 
Received my iPhone 7 today from apple

Have swopped over my o2 sim that was in my z5 compact and can text message but have no mobile data?

In the iPhone settings its turned on but everything is offline - internet/apple store/facebook etc etc

What I done wrong? :D
 
You need to run the network, sounds like the data bundle profile hasn't been swapped from android to iPhone.
 
Dunno if I should get the plus or the regular 7. Decided it's time for a new phone so going to get one on the apple upgrade program too.
 
Received my iPhone 7 jet black on Tuesday, after waiting 3 weeks for it. Pretty much straight away I knew I made a mistake with the colour. Not because of the fingerprint. Not because of micro abrasions. Simply because to me it just looks like a featureless black blob.

Went to my local reseller on Friday and bought the matte black. Now that's more like it. Loving the matte black finish. Jet black going back to Apple.
 
I've had mine a few weeks ago. The only difference I really notice over my 6S Plus is the sound output, it's miles better for watching videos on without ear/headphones.
 
picked up a 7 silver 128gb.

i had a go at the plus and too big, the only thing im disappointed with is that new camera feature but oh well, sure it will be out on the 8.
