edit: this is not the case don't do this
the camera is moved and larger so I doubt it
but my 7+ leather case fits my 6+. It overlaps the camera edge but isn't visible in pictures
Incorrect, the camera on the 7 is still larger and in a different position, so the camera cut out on any 6 case will likely be in the wrong place.
Could always just cut the case yourself I guess

I'm actually thinking about getting this one, too: https://buypeel.com/products/super-thin-iphone-7-case
How are the Spigen cases for the plus models? I had the Slim Armour for my 5S and it's saved the glass from breaking through literally hundreds of drops now. Liking the look of this one due to the fold out clip to stand it up: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GIWGAWU/

I'm really digging the Peel case.
As "barely there" as it gets.

Heads up, iOS10 is being rolled and available to DL right now.

I've been using a bumper-like case on my 5s since I got it with no issues, so it's more protection that I got right now. Though I may continue the bumper tradition.

To me cases like that and plastic or TPU or rubber cases actually don't help enough with scratches because the dirt that gets caught in the case gets rubbed harder on the phone than silicone and microfiber lined cases
this has been my experience over the years.

Reviews are about where I expected them to be. Anyone thinking the reviews were going to trash the shit out of it over the headphone jack, just remember that Apple usually gets more leeway than other phone makers on stuff like this.
The phone is incredibly built, the camera looks fantastic, and iOS, if you love it, your going to continue to love it. No doubt it was going to be rated well.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
Not surprised the camera still sucks. Apple has been lagging behind Android cameras for a while now. And I hope I don't regret getting Jet black over Matte.

Damn that TechCrunch review said the Jet Black scratches, just from simply putting it in your pocket. Lol. That's bad news for someone like me who hates cases. Hopefully AT&T Next will probably still accept it next year even if the back is scratched to oblivion.

I'm sure they'll all be yellow in a few months

Not if you go with black. It already has a light brown tint to it.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Thought some of you might get a kick out of these. These are a few of the pictures I took on the original iPhone's launch day in June 2007.

From Reddit:
"You can track it without the tracking number--you need to track by "reference number," by going here:
https://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_US
Use your phone number in the "reference number" field, then fill in your country and zip code. If you're on mobile, you'll have to request the desktop version. Even though what you're on already looks like the desktop version, if you don't, the site will bump you to a generic mobile tracking page when you hit "track.""
Worked for me, my phone is in Korea right now.

That's been known since they first shipped iPhones I think. But when I do that it tells me my tracking number is
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxYYYY
The only numbers it shows me are the YYYY.
I'm upgrading from a Space Grey 6+ to a Rose Gold 7+. I have a black Apple leather case which I'm very happy with since it hasn't shown any wear on the colour over the year or so that I've had it.
I'm thinking I want to go with a lighter colour for my 7+ leather case, but I know from people I know that the colours like red and tan show a lot of wear. Does anyone have experience with the Storm Grey case? Does it get really ugly with worn out colours after a few months?

Say what you will, but after watching some reviews and seeing how the headphones sync, I look forward to native support being added to Macs and other devices. I imagine it'll be dead simple to quickly swap the headphones between machines providing you docked them between uses. Apparently when you open the case lid it notifies your phone and shows a dialog on the screen. Imagine that same thing appearing on your Mac at the same time or your iPad. It'll be so painless to pair the headphones to different devices on a per session basis.
That is if and when they put in support on other devices. (I'd bet the new MBP will have support for them.)
Shame you still have to spend $160 to get them.
Fake Edit: Looking at the Apple website it does say "seamless switching" by "choosing" them from your Mac or other device. I expect that's talking about the Bluetooth pairing system. I'm hoping for native support in new devices. (Unless they actually do it really smartly. I just don't want to have to click the menubar to pair them. Let the dialog pop up on everything and let me choose the device to use them on when I open that lid.)

I hope they add tvOS to that quick-pairing stuff. It's a pretty big omission at the moment

Why not trade in her 5C to get the $400 bill credits for iphone 7?
that's a US provider thing, right?
We're in Europe, and we're buying our phones off-contract.
I'm having my 6 replaced via appleCare tomorrow for 99 bucks. She'll be selling her 5C to ... i dunno ... someone. for like 200
Doesn't work for me. Sprint sucks. it still says i'll get it 9/16 but the page hasn't updated with any tracking number ;_;
The "seamless" switching of the AirPods is built into any device running iOS 10 or macOS Sierra. It is already added. Jim D's review points this out. Switching from iPhone to Apple Watch or your Mac is claimed to be as easy as clicking the play button on your Apple watch or in iTunes. (Maybe you also have to click an output to AirPods button on iTunes I have no idea.) But it's already in there on old and new devices. They just have to run the new OS.
Umm, which provider is doing this??!

I've been hearing mixed things. Looks like it wouldn't be difficult to get to your carrier first thing and just buy one.

September 23-27, it's not a big wait, I'm just hoping that there's not a last minute fuck up that makes it take until November.
