Any recommendations on screen protectors? The ones I'm seeing are just repackaged 6s ones that don't cover the whole front of the phone. Thanks in advance
Dude. I keep forgetting that I can't do this.
Also, I was at a house party this weekend and wanted to play some tunes on the speakers. I couldn't. Everyone was laughing at me.

You should be laughing at them for not having a Bluetooth or wireless option tbhDude. I keep forgetting that I can't do this.

I just wanted to blast some Yoncé. I have that stupid aux-lighting adaptor in the car but the FM radio adaptor actually broke so we are looking to get a bluetooth adapter sometime.

My 7+ gets pretty toasty.
iPhone 7 + "My goose is gettin' cooked!"
I hope this isn't going to be a widespread problem
I've been on the fence about getting the 7, but this finally adds credence to the rumours and I think I'm going to abstain upgrading this year.
Not the biggest fan of glass designs unless they evolve the GOAT 4/4S design, but deeper blacks on an OLED display + wireless charging + edge-to-edge display are massive changes that are far overdue at this point.
I would wait for the 8S so we know that they perfect the new design

Wait till the iPhone 9, then they're really going to perfect it

The 10 is when they're really going to nail it.

Is Iphone 7 supposed to have such a noticeable click when you press the home button?

I keep my iPhone in a standalone pocket with just my headphones but I already got a minor scratch on the display. Good thing screen repairs through Apple are so much cheaper now - if it gets worse it'll be easier to justify getting a fix.

Yes? You do know that it isn't actually clicking right?
There is no click, that is the taptic engine.

You can set the strength of the click simulation in your settings.

Your options are the same. You can use your old wired heaphones, or use any old bluetooth headphones.
If you really want to, I guess you could use the lightning to 3.5 adapter, or wait for new bluetooth headphones, but neither is necessary.

But you can't connect a lightening headphone to the MacBook?

I just keep my old EarPods in my pocket with the dongle always attached. That way I always have the dongle, and can always plug the headphones into the Mac if I need to. Haven't used the actual lightning EarPods yet

Right, but I can't even find the appropriate connector

That's actually a really interesting point. The simplicity in the Home button is in how it takes you to the Home screen no matter where you are in the phone. But if that's gone and is replaced by a screen, how do they allow users to always find their way Home?
Some have said maybe just utilize the bottom of the screen strictly for this purpose, but that would prevent app developers from utilizing a fairly large portion of the screen for their apps (since a simple press in that area will take you Home), which then begs the question: Why remove the Home button at all? If a sizable portion of the screen is "dead" to all user input except one, it's pointless to have it there in the first place.
My guess? Fingerprint scanner in the screen, and Home button on the side or back. This allows developers to utilize the full screen, while allowing users to get Home whenever necessary.

Well, they could make that a system taskbar area like the rumored OLED strip on the new MacBook Pro. Maybe put a Dock area there, or quick action icons, etc. If the whole front of the phone is glass with no bezel, developers wouldn't lose any display area.

I got one of them apple silicone cases. Not exactly what I wanted but better than dropping it and smashing it.
I also hated iOS 10 on my old 6, but it's a lot better on the 7.

That's exactly my problem. Macbook doesn't have either lightning port or even adapter to make the new iphone7 headphone work. And I'm using both at home and work
You could either carry 2 headphones, or adapt to wireless one. You know, we are in the age where the company don't create product to match your life style, but you have to change your life style to match the product ....
Who knows when Apple gonna change this again.

If I can be offered a good deal on the 7 I think I'll upgrade to it. The home button took a few clicks to get used to when I played around with it in the shop. At first it just feels weird and not good, almost as if the phones creaking or somethings moving about inside when you press but it felt more natural with use. The Jet Black also looks glorious.
Just upgraded to an S7 Edge from a iPhone 6 because I kind of fancied a bit of a change but it's going back as I feel I'm missing out more by getting rid of my iPhone. Stuff like iMessage and just everything is so smooth and works spot on on ios generally. I didn't care for customising my homescreen after 5 mins of playing around on Android. I just felt I wanted all my apps right in front of me anyways without going into the menu. The Edge screen is a complete gimmick and useless for anything except catching the screen when you didn't want to. And the battery, which is supposed to be better lasts the same if not worse than my 2 year old iPhone 6.
All in all, Android just offered me nothing but I felt I was missing out by moving to Android rather than gaining much of anything. Very disappointed.

Called UPS about my phone seemingly not moving for the past 36 hours and they just said there was a "delay". They wouldn't say what the delay was, how long it would take, or even give me an updated delivery estimate. :/

Spent an afternoon with an Iphone 7. Very disappointing upgrade relative to the 6S, it boggles my mind that some people actually upgrade yearly.
I think we have reached the point where yearly upgrades aren't interesting anymore.

Yeah i think if I had the 6s I would be hesitant to purchase the 7. Especially with the head phone jack missing.
But the nicer camera and water resistance might make it worth it.
Now for those on older iphone's or android I think the difference is greater, and it's worth looking into the iphone 7/Plus.
I have a 6 Plus and have been trying to decide if I want to just pick up a 6S Plus for a year or wait another month or so for a Jet Black 7 Plus.
My 6 Plus has actually started crashing since iOS 10 -- not sure if it's the lack of RAM or something else.
