iPhone 7 & 7+


But sometimes people are really stupid and you just feel like you have to help them ;)
Kiwi...as a long time Android user myself...i rather not say too much on a iphone thread, As for the issue between yourself and domleo, I think the discussion has reached its end.
 
Yes the magical adapter, I wonder how it works when you want to listen to music and charge the phone at the same time, something I take for granted and do frequently, and I will not subject myself to wireless audio.

There is an adapter to connect two lightning connector.

Well interesting how he said if the product isn't up to standard, the customers won't buy them...I think the Apple marketing department has changed that principle quite successfully.
 
iOS 10 will be released today as a free upgrade for the following devices:

  • iPad 4 and later (ie, iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro (9.7in and 12.9in)
  • iPad mini 2 and later (iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4)
  • iPod touch 6th generation
  • iPhone 5 and later (iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE)

So why did Apple really need the space so desperately that they want to remove the 3.5mm jack? Nope it isn't to make room for the dual camera or anything. Apparently the space is taken up by the force touch module for the home button. And there is only one speaker at the bottom.....Battery capacity is slightly less than the iphone 6 plus. So Apple. what the eff?

By the looks of it, the square module of the new Force Touch module for the non-clickable Home button. There doesn't seem to be a second speaker on the bottom, just the usual one (plus the earpiece for stereo sound).

The battery is secured with Apple's easy to remove (but not quite DIY-friendly) adhesive. The battery has 10.22Wh capacity, slightly down from the 10.45Wh of the iPhone 6s Plus. Apple still promises improved battery life, though that's achieved through optimized power use, not increased capacity.

That's interesting.

I understand Apple want to push for a wireless future, but we still live in a wired world...

The other thing I don't understand is why does Apple insist on offering such limited battery capacity? Sure people say iphones don't need big batteries because the phones are "efficient" however, users will get double the benefit if the battery is bigger and the software is more efficient as well. They have plenty of space inside the phone.

The only reason I can think of is that since the iphone still doesn't have quick charge ability, a bigger capacity battery will mean a longer charging time.

Recently, apples mobiles have been lacking innovation. The 6 was a major improvement and change from the 5, but since then (and jobs departure) there releases, software, adverts... have all been uninspiring. I mean, the iPhone SE- they went backwards in design. The new iOS messaging app is gimmicky, and there's no major changes with new releases
 
I am not sure what this article is trying to say, I am not technical enough to understand the meaning of smart phone bench mark scores, but I am aware that some phones perform better than others under a whole range of situations.

On "single core" performance, the iphone 7 did not perform twice as fast as the s7 as they claimed. also the 820 chip on the S7 has two different type of CPU cores. so which one was being tested?

The article did admit the S7 and the iphone 7 perform on a "similar" level on multi core performance. I am guessing that the S7 scored slightly better, other wise the article would have released the numbers and said the iphone 7 was faster in that regard too.

In the end these bench marks doesn't reflect the benefits of real world usage.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus top-out at an impressive 3,450 score for single-core performance.
Meanwhile, the latest Apple smartphone tips the scales at 5,630 for multi-core performance.

Samsung Galaxy S7 scored a respectable 1,806 score for single-core performance.

Although, it did bag a similar score to the iPhone in multi-core performance.

I am fine with whatever they want to release, and if people want to buy it, sure, however I am still disgusted by their statement of "courage, courage to make things better for all of us" and how they have to make space to create a better phone. Such arrogance, such blatant lies.
 
I placed my order. Two iPhone 7, Gold, 256Gb. This is replacing our old (even though they are only 3 years old) iPhone 5.
And BTW, no complains with the 5 either, only replacing them because we've been running out of space for the last year or so (16Gb). I have no music, no videos, etc. on mine.

Off Topic: Yesterday night I upgraded the iPhone 5 to iOS 10.0.1 and am pleasantly surprised at how it's running so far. It feels a tad faster and the battery life might have gotten a tad better. So if any of you have this (old) phone still, iOS10 is a good upgrade (at least from my personal experience so far).

Benchmark testing are putting the processors under specific extreme loads that do not always reflect true world situations but they still show ultimate horsepower. And if we are to talk about real world everyday performance then Apple is the absolute benchmark in that regard, they smoke everyone.

Agreed that specs and bench mark test do not reflect the real world usage, but this test does help to illustrate how the phones compare in the real world: opening app, loading webpage, taking snapshot etc...
I would have wanted them to test the phone's memory management: how fast both phones load up photo album etc.
 
Still not sure what's with all the hype and standing in line to get one ASAP!

I'm expecting mine by end of the month ~ 1st week of October and that's for a family member, while I prefer to wait and see how things will work out for the early models. Keeping my 6S and not gonna lose sleep over the 7 / 7 Plus.

Good to know, Mark. I been using my old 5S and after I lost my 6S (3rd iPhone I have lost so far :(). Was scared to upgrade to 10 because after going to iOS9 my battery hardly gets through a day.
