Poll: ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **

[Ste]

How do I get 25.5? On three. Still on 25.1...

 

[mrgubby]

Can you check if you have the hiss from the back and if you record a silent room in video, can you hear a constant buzz on playback?

If an iPhone records in a forest and there's nobody there.....

Does it still hiss.

 

[UberTiger]

Yes, because everyone hears it when you upload the video to YouTube!

This hissing thing really concerns me, was about to recommend a 7 and 7 Plus to family, but I really think I should wait it out to see what comes of this.

I'll try tonight if I remember.

First thoughts:

Not worth an upgrade from the 6S +. Still contemplating returning it.
New home button is nice. Odd, but nice.
Camera is noticeably better.
Screen a touch brighter and better colours. But you'd be hard pushed to notice unless looking for it.
Matt black looks fantastic.

Apart from that it feels like I'm using my old iPhone.

Edit.

The new leather case is superb, the metal buttons are a great touch.

Finally my order has moved to 'Preparing for Shipment'. Hopefully it'll arrive next week.

Mine said 10th October, then went to dispatched but still 10th October, then suddenly changed to 27/9 and arrived 28/9. So it's a bit random but you shouldn't be waiting too long!

 

[Cryfreeman]

My 9th October delivery from 3 came today (black 7 plus)

My IP7+ black and leather case now 'Dispatched'

 

[ColdAsIce]

Mmm how many hours of battery use is everyone getting on the standard iphone 7 model?

 

[RJC]

Mine has been delayed by UPS, was hoping this Friday but now due Tuesday.

Mine seems to be pretty impressive. It's been off charge since 9am and used fairly heavily including about half an hour of calls, lots of background email stuff and about 30 mins of Thomas Was Alone and I'm at 80%.

Got to say the aux/charge thing in the car was very easy to solve.

One of these did it so now I've gone from an issue whereby I couldn't charge and listen to music to only being able to do both at the same time lol.

That's a pretty cool bit of kit.

Got mine, video hiss present.

Audio quality via lightning to 3.5mm much improved on my senheisers so definitely some better DAC stage somewhere

For my car I use a 30pin to Aux cable adapter, then used a 30 pin to lightning adapter. The quality of the audio was clearly better, the bass was so much more crisper at high volumes. I haven't started using the adapter that came with my 7+ yet but hopefully it is the same.

Just had a moment which made me very happy about the Plus size. Just watched latest episode of south park on my break and the 7+ is actually a fantastic size for viewing content on. Chuffed.

Hopefully they wont argue

Just tried, I get a hiss.

[rdb2012]

Seriously I have tried recording on other iPhones and iPads at home, they all have the same thing iPhone 5c and iPad 3 mini. What's everyone talking about?

 

[ChrisD.]

I've just done back to back between my 6S Plus and 7 Plus, there's more hiss on the 7 but not much, surely it's just the better speakers?
