I know it's the same display tech as the 6s, but the screen on the 7 is gorgeous. I don't know if it's the wide gamut color support, but tones look richer, more saturated and yet more defined edges. Maybe it's just placebo but I'll keep taking the pills.

 

[robotrock]

Any of you guys noticing a slight stutter on the animation of exiting apps? 7+

 

[all of my hate]

Is the App Store down? Keeps saying it can't connect.

BusinessInsider saying the S7 still has the superior camera:

Doesn't look like they accounted for wide gamut though.

Ugh. makes me want to cancel my order a little. Some reviews seem to like the Iphone 7 better. maybe low light is better?

I do like the responsiveness of the Iphone though, so i think i'm sticking with it.

Opening iMovie, GarageBand, or keynote results in crashes for me

 

[Draper]

Huh...none of my apps transferred over.

 

[samn]

If I do a 2x digital zoom/crop on the non-Plus 12MP camera, to the equivalent size/perspective of a 2x optical zoom, is the resulting image 6MP?

If so I'm happier about going non-Plus. 6MP is more than enough for me

 

[Dany]

Weird, all of my phones buttons are unresponsive.

uh oh

 

[robotrock]

uh oh

I know, right? Decided to reformat it after updating to 10.01

 

[sangreal]

woohoo, UPS finally showed up w/ my black 7+. Huge relief as my 6+ is literally unusable w/ the touch controller issue. Driver had jokes about waiting all day :-|

 

[Draper]

So uh, nothing crossed over. Not apps, not messages...just photos

looks rather even to me, with the telephoto of the Plus having significantly better impact. Don't really agree with the conclusion that writer is putting out there.

Just tried GarageBand, Keynote, and Numbers, they all worked fine for me. And I'm not even updated to 10.0.1 yet.

you restored from backup? it sounds like you setup as new phone

if you have a ton of photos stored locally it might still be restoring in the background though

"Comes out on top in raw quality" yet doesn't use raw. OK.

I did restore from backup...photos are all here.

 

[samn]

I don't think he's talking about .raw the format.

In any case it's fair enough not to use raw as the stock camera app doesn't even produce it.

 

[giga]

I don't agree if he's making the statement of raw quality.

Restore from a backup from your Mac, or iCloud? Mac backups don't save the apps anymore since iOS 9, ever since they introduced app slicing to reduce download sizes. I restore from a backup on my Mac, but all the apps still download from Apple's servers.

 

[samn]

I don't agree if he's making the statement of raw quality.

In context it's clearer he means that the iPhone has a fancier zoom but the S7 produces better quality images.

Verdict: The iPhone 7 camera is a significant improvement over the 6S. And the telephoto lens is a very nice feature that has been a long time coming to phones. But the Galaxy S7 still comes out on top on raw quality.

 

[Dinokill]

So I decided to cancel my 7+ matte black and bought a 7 matte black from my nearest att store. I'll just wait for the next iteration to go big. I was talked into buying a wireless beat solo headphones for $200. Was a good deal for the wireless headphone? Should I return mine back? I know gaf hates Beats and now I'm having second thoughts...

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Just finished setting up my mom's phone. I don't know what all the hoopla I read around the web was about, but I really like the home button. I honestly think I like it more than the old clickable one because this one is easier to press repeatedly and it just feels easier to press overall. Same with the whole "Press home button to unlock" thing.

 

[Strakt]

I cant find any super thin/clear cases that are available on amazon for shipment on jetblack 7+ on Monday.

Again, I don't agree with the use of "raw quality" if the use of actual raw sensor data is available here.

I'm restoring from a backup on my 6s.

It wasn't capitalised and anyone with any sense would understand what he's talking about.

 

[giga]

Haha you don't need to capitalize raw.

Anyway we're arguing semantics here. The point is I value raw photo tests far more than any jpeg ones because the data I've gotten from my 6s raws have blown away the jpegs.

I have not tried Beats recently, but I was under the impression that the recent generation Beats headphones have a much more impressive, well rounded sound than the older bass heavy Beats. Build quality may be a different story, but their sound has seemingly improved.

I feel like for $200 there aren't a lot of options and they probably aren't a bad deal. It's worth noting if they were the Beats Solo2's then they were on sale for $150 back in July and that appears to be the lowest price on them.

 

[-griffy-]

Huh...none of my apps transferred over.

When I set up the new phone, it had to install 10.0.1 first, which did a full install of that OS. Then I had to do a full reset of the phone, erasing all content and settings, and during the set-up phase it could then restore from my iCloud backup.

 

[Dupy]

Same here. Have been trying to activate for the past 20 minutes and it says there's a problem after I confirm the phone number:/

 

[all of my hate]

 

[sangreal]

Man does this thing get hot while restoring

 

[robotrock]

Appreciate the response. Are you experiencing a slight stutter in the animation when you exit apps?

 

[neurosyphilis]

Is anyone else still waiting for UPS ? Seems like everyone in here has had their phones for hours.

 

[SuperPac]

Very surprised by the new home button. I'd been prepared for disappointment from the various reports, but damn - it's nice! Feels much better than force touch on the watch, for instance - instant response, feels like clicking the bottom of the phone and maybe not a button alone but it feels good!

*click* *click*

Yep, that did the trick. What an odd oversight.

Anybody having trouble activating on Verizon? I confirm my phone number and then I get a prompt that just says "We're sorry. There was a problem completing your activation."

Check a few posts above you. I've gotten as far as the SSN input but haven't been able to activate.

I'm wondering if it's a Verizon thing...they are the ones that would drop the ball on launch day of course.

Same. Going on 5 hours.

 

[FFgamer20]

Kind of glad the impressions on the iphone 7 is positive. My phone somewhat got damaged earlier this week and I ordered the 7. Getting it Tuesday.

 

[ReAxion]

searching twitter for "verizon, activation" - lots of people are having this problem it seems. Verizon activation servers getting slammed with phones. God I hope this doesn't happen to me again (AT&T).

e: at least one person said VZN, ATT, and TMO all went down at some point earlier today.

e2: @VZWSupport is fucking flying. Looks like they're helping people directly via DM.

Looks like S7 has a bit advantage over S7, not a huge advantage. But not enough for me to cancel my preorder. Going to keep my iPhone 7 Plus till 8S Plus comes out.

Yeah, I've enjoyed it a lot more than expected. Have it on setting 3 as it feels more like I'm getting a response from the "button" itself.

Coming from a 6+, this thing is wicked responsive.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Appreciate the response. Are you experiencing a slight stutter in the animation when you exit apps?

Hm nope, it looks the same as the 6s animations. Are you still having problems after the restore?

 

[Pixels]

Is there any way to completely turn of Voice Control? I can turn off Siri but that Voice Control thing pops up still when I hold down the home button.

6PM here. Still waiting.
