It's a tertiary mic for noise cancellation.
Do you think you'll jump over to the plus?

What do you mean by smashed in? Any pics?
i was just about to smugly point out that it's hard to take pictures of your iPhone's camera when often times, the iPhone is the only high quality camera someone owns.
then i realized that there's such a thing as a mirror ...

Did anyone else get a 7 plus with a yellowish screen? It's not a crazy amount of yellow but when I compare it to my 6 plus, the 6 plus looks much better and brighter.
I've been trying to fix it but the solutions I've found just talk about fucking around with some color tint setting, which I already tried, and doing a reset on the phone. Which would probably be a massive hassle considering I spent all day yesterday setting it up as a new phone and transferring all my stuff to it without a backup.

I was scheduled for early October shipping, but just got notice that it will be arriving in a couple days!Matte Black 128gb 7+
Which provider?
I don't really have a camera to pull off such macro shots unfortunately. What does yours look like? It just appears half caved in- maybe it's just gunk in that hole?
Mine looks like this. I don't think it looks smashed in? If you look closely you can see a kind of pop screen texture on the mic.

I really hope this doesn't happen as I just have my wife my 6+ and its still snappy enough for her use case.

My ear buds had the sleeve pop off the damned thing:
Well.. shitMy ear buds had the sleeve pop off the damned thing:

What a piece of junk. Bring that back to Apple ASAP.
If this can happen so easily to even one person, could be some manufacturing defect.
I have no idea.

Huh. First time I've seen that. Definitely go and get them exchanged.My ear buds had the sleeve pop off the damned thing:
Thanks for the pic. Yeah, mine looks pushed in on one side, it's odd.
Blah. Not sure what to do.

Take it back. It's possibly less water resistant now.

Can someone confirm for me that the 7 plus vibrates like crazy when the stereo speakers are turned up to max? I'm just making sure it's something that normal, and not some sort of crazy defect. I am not complaining, but my actual diagnosed ocd won't let me drop it.
Yes, there is some audio induced vibration. I suppose with such large metallic surface and little room for internal sound dampening that would be the case. For what's worth, I did not notice any sound distortion because of it.
Yes, I noticed that today too. I'm assuming it's normal?
Lol yeah.... I'd say that's a defective adapter.
My ear buds had the sleeve pop off the damned thing:
That's shitty. Yeah, get that exchanged for sure.

It does. I don't mind it. Just how sound waves work lol.

Anyone with the ship dates of Oct 10-14th get any shipping emails? I'm still in processing.

Awesome, thanks guys. I am relieved it is normal.
iPad Air 2 is the same deal. I don't know how annoying it can get with a phone, but you get used to it

I never have my volume up all the way, if I need something loud I use a speaker.
True, hm, I'm not sure they'll have me pay for it. I really don't think I caused it though.

Did you buy it on a contract or straight from Apple?
Either way I know you get a certain time period where they can exchange it for another phone free of charge
I bought it straight from Apple.

There is a 1 year limited warranty.

Hm, okay, I guess I'll report it.
There other thing I've noticed is the screen isn't set properly. It's not a smooth transition from aluminum to glass on the left hand side.

Went to best buy to check out the wireless headphones....
WTF they are expensive. I walked right out. The cheapest ones were like $40 (gumy brand). Most of them were over $100. I'm so use to buying some $7-10 headphones and not worrying about if I lose them or if they break.
I'm going to have to do some research on quality wireless headphones before I spent over $100 on them.

Just get cheap Bluetooth ones off Amazon. I have ones like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DQTPSQM/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It's the new top speaker. If you put your finger over it the vibration diminishes.

Yep, the problem of having a super thin device is the speaker vibration is dampened throughout the body and you feel it everywhere. The iPad Air was the WORST for this. It actually hurt your hands if you were watching a movie or something long.

Thanks! Much cheaper! I will check these out. They look pretty good too.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Not trying to sound like an elitist douche; but I don't know how people can stand the pack-in earbuds; let alone $7 JVC Gummies and the like.
99% of buds and phones under $30 are just pure shit. But if you're willing to spend $50 or so, you can experience a massive improvement.

And this is why I got a 7 instead of the 7+. I like using my phone with one hand and it was enough adapting from the OG/3G/4/5 to the 6. Never going to the Plus.
I am going back and forth. I bought the 7 yesterday but I keep coveting the bigger size and better camera of the 7+ so I think I will return the 7 and get the 7+.
