Poll: ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **

[Rooky007]

What apps are people using on their iPhone. Is there a thread where people share screen shot of their phone etc?

Anyone getting an annoying static sound when recording with their iPhone 7? Very annoying to the point that it makes the audio useless and its a static noise every few seconds or so.

Any way to solve?

If you google it there are reports of this if you have left the plastic cover on — failing that I'd take it to Apple.

I have mine and love it except for the god damn no headphone jack. it ****** me off to no end. I hate bluetooth headphones as I can never find a solid pair which fits in my ears which aren't over-ear.

Plastic as in the film from the new phone? Only had this phone 2 ish weeks, know where I stand in sending it back? Quite disappointed TBH.

Finally some Weibo goodness worth paying attention to.

Seems like this rear casing is made from Ion-X glass. Speculation it's either an updated SE or 7S based on the size.

How long before we see the next iphone? September?

 

[ChrisD.]

September?

Yes.

 

[matt100]

It's been september for like 5 years..

Is it still viable to buy an iPhone 7 now, or would it be silly thing to do given 8 is out in few months?

 

[matt100]

What do you mean viable? I mean you can, and it will work and be great.

It won't be as good or expensive as an 8 and will drop heavily in value over the next few months..

If you don't care about that then do it

Since when do Apple products drop heavily?

 

[matt100]

I don't mean the sale price I mean the resale or recycling price.. basically it becomes "worth" a lot less very rapidly.

Now obviously if you're not planning to change that's neither here nor there hence why I was questioning viable, of course it's viable.. whether it's a good idea or not is entirely subjective.

 

[UberTiger]

It probably won't be easily available until October, after they announce in September. So depends if you need a phone now or want to wait 5 months.

Has anybody had issues with the Matt black finish flaking off and experience of apple support with such a problem?

My phone lives in the leather case and I never put it in a pocket with keys/coins etc. But a big flake of the Matt black finish has come off around the speaker holes at the bottom which is pretty annoying.

 

[ChrisD.]

No, mine's still perfect.

Just got a deal with EE.

20Gb Data
Max speeds
Unlimited calls and txt
12 months insurance
All the half share stuff when out of the UK
iPhone 7 Plus Jet black
128Gb

£37 a month and only £30 upfront cost.

So recommendations for case, screen protector and anything else

How did you get this deal?? I'm going to negotiate myself a better contract tomorrow and need all the advice I can get.

 

[Junglist]

Wouldn't it now be worth waiting a couple of months and getting the new phone which will release

 

[dirtychinchilla]

No. I asked them about that and the guy said it would be in the £60-£70 range for a monthly contract, so I'm not fussed.

Just returned my G6 and now have a black iPhone 7. Really happy with it, tbh I'm not sure why I decided to try android but happy I'm back on iOS is just works really well...

The camera on the 7 is fantastic too.
