Amazon basics are doing a very similar case but polycarbonate for £9, don't know how good it would be though.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

I'll be really curious how big of a difference going from 2GB -> 3GB of RAM makes.

The thing is, I don't feel like the 3GB will be fully taken advantage of until Apple majorly updates the operating system, allowing for greater multitasking, potentially more traditional memory management, and a larger focus on productivity.

And by the time that happens, I'll probably already be on a new phone.

 

[Persona7]

Any idea what I could realistically expect to get for a nearly new 6+ 64GB: Apple gave me a new one about 2 months ago rather than repair.

Craigslist was fine when I lived in Portland -aka the safest city in America- but I'm worried about getting robbed in L.A lol so thinking eBay.

In LA just tell the buyer to meet you at a police station. If they say no or offer an alternative, try again. The LAPD used to tell people to meet in the lobbies of police stations or other law enforcement facilities. Ebay is a huge risk.

Use Swappa.

Do not use eBay to sell, only to buy.

Any chance Apple surprises us and ships the Jet black iPhone 7 Plus on the 16th?

Banks also work. You get to see them withdraw the cash and there are tons of cameras. Also bank security doesn't seem to care.

 

[Xamdou]

Did everyone here get a warranty for their brand spanking new IPhone 7's?

maybe sooner than they estimated but the 16th is unlikely

[Zeyphersan]

I just started going caseless last week. Honestly it's fine. And the Plus just feels a lot smaller without a case

 

[cackhyena]

That's the old case. The new one has metal buttons, no black plastic around the camera, and an 'etched' Apple instead of stamped:

Damn if y'all aren't convincing me to switch to grey:

What case is that? Mine is a little busted up. I dig the gray one.

 

[EightBitNate]

What case is that? Mine is a little busted up. I dig the gray one.

The official Apple leather case, I believe.

It's nice but I'm not trying to pay $40 for a case though.

Thanks. I could be persuaded. Maybe.

 

[outsidah]

ew cases

My thoughts exactly. Once you go caseless you can never got back.

I am just too clumsy to live the no case life.

This is the counterpoint which I totally get. My girl can't keep her phone from dropping to save her life. She dropped her S7 the other day 3 times in one hour.

 

[Mr Swine]

Has Apple released any pictures taken by the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus? Other than the ones they showed at their conference?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Apple leather case is one of the few times I feel good about buying one of their usually overpriced accessories. The leather case is quality through and through. Fits well, feels great, looks good over time, slim enough, helps simple drops too.

 

[Uno Venova]

I just like not worrying about the phone ever getting scratched and minor drops.

I also use frost screen protectors.

now especially that i upgrade every year it's just not worth it to me to be so paranoid about keeping it in perfect condition. a few nicks here and there is no big deal. drops and shatters are rare enough for me that i'm okay risking a repair fee

 

[giga]

Once you guys get your phones, can you test it out on a rinse dishwasher cycle? Asking for a friend. Thanks.

How else are you gonna get that Jet Black sparkling?

 

[giga]

How else are you gonna get that Jet Black sparkling?

I'm still trying to figure out which rack to put it in.

 

[Deku Tree]

So the iPhone 7 is water proof but you still void your warranty if you get it wet? How does that work?

 

[jts]

So those wallpapers always showing up with the 7 are exclusive to the 7? Don't show up in my 6s+ with iOS 10. Laaaame.

 

[DrEvil]

Yup. AppleCare for sure. I went through 4 iPhone 5 due to manufacturing defects and it was a breeze. Never go without.

 

[dc89]

Make sure you use rinse aid.

 

[DrEvil]

Top rack obv. Cold wash cycle.

 

[Uno Venova]

they call it just water resistant instead of proof, they definitely don't want people going overboard with water exposure.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Anyone have a link to the best cases on amazon?

 

[StopMakingSense]

Just meet up in a Starbucks. Do it all the time in LA for camera stuff.

 

[EricTheCleric]

Yup. AppleCare for sure. I went through 4 iPhone 5 due to manufacturing defects and it was a breeze. Never go without.

You need to pay for that in the US?
Should be free replacement or repair if it is a manufacturing defect (for three years even).
At least in Sweden (EU).

Manufacturing defects outside of the first year?

 

[neurosyphilis]

I have it on iOS 10 with my 6S. They removed the wallpaper in the latest updates. I guess it will be back for the official iOS 10 release.

I have to ask. Why the fuck do you keep doing signatures on your posts, and what is it?

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

I can vouch for the Apple leather cases, used on my 6+ and 6S+, will use on 7+ also

 

[Zeyphersan]

If I was going to get a case, I would get the Apple leather ones. But now I'm doing caseless

 

[KevinG]

Did I miss the memo on wallpapers in motion for iPhones? Or is that just the marketing on the 7?

 

[Xamdou]

Yup. AppleCare for sure. I went through 4 iPhone 5 due to manufacturing defects and it was a breeze. Never go without.

So is it too late to get Apple care since I preordered my 7+ or is there a certain amount of days after purchase I ca still get apple care?

 

[DOWN]

You mean that blue liquid bubble?

Dynamic wallpapers have existed for like 4 years but the bubble one could just be a demo graphic showing Fusion graphics

You have 30 days to call them or bring it to a store

 

[Ashhong]

You can do it by calling? What if you already broke it after receiving

 

[KevinG]

Yeah. That's the term I was searching for.

I didn't think it had been officially introduced to iOS.

 

[Zeyphersan]

60 days

 

[DOWN]

Over the phone they run a software to connect to your phone and the phone does checks all over itself to report if it's been compromised in any way. I guess technically certain physical issues could happen in the first 60 days and slip by them but they consider it a low likelihood.

60 days

My bad, at one point in iPhone history it was 30 but it's 60 now

 

[kaskade]

That's what I was thinking of doing as well. I'll also be on iUP, so I feel like I'll get a new phone next year regardless and not have to worry about resale value. I've never gone without a screen protecter--EVER. Screen protectors are ~$20 at the Apple Store so the cost is negligible compared to the $29 replacement fee. I wonder if you can tell a difference once they replace a screen. I know non-apple replacements can leave a different tint.

Does Applecare+ limit you to just 2 screen replacements a year at $29? Plus the accidental coverage?

Yeah I believe it's 2. Which I'll probably use a protector if I actually do mess up and need a repair. I'd rather keep one just in case the phone has a nasty drop or something.

AppleCare+ gives you two incidents of accidental damage period. That could be screen cracks, water, anything like that. Two total, not per year

i managed to pick up a 32GB iPhone 7 that's expected to ship on 9/15-9/16 from tmobile but i think im going to exchange it for the 128GB version after it arrives. is anyone doing the same or do you guys think 32GB is enough?

Do you plan on taking a lot of pictures or videos? If so, go for 128gb.

If not, then 32gb is fine. I remember living with 8GB Nexus 4. I don't see why anybody needs their entire gaming library on one phone.

 

[Uno Venova]

Anyone else just get charged?
