I am not sure if the purpose of this Forum is for people to complain but I wanted to know if among all these complaints there is anyone that like me has nothing to complain about the new 7 Plus so far.
I got the Matte Black 256gb ATT full price (unlocked) and after having the phone for 24 hours it looks perfect to me.
If I read this Forum I see the following:
- Fingerprints and smudges on Jet Black
- Matte Black is slippery
- Multiple lens flare issue
- Weaker signal
- Lens cover scratches
- Screen bleed
- Disappointed with camera
- Hiss with video recording
- Yellow screen
- Heating
- Etc....

So, just wondering if I am the only lucky one here or if some people come here just for the sake of complaining. BTW, I always buy Apple Care so if anything happens I just go there and they will fix it or replace it.

My 7 Plus Matte Black is exhibiting none of these. People will always be disappointed, and those who are disappointed are more likely to jump online and tell the world.

So far I have zero complaints. You have to take the phone for what it is and what it does. Not for what you wish it did. Of course I understand those that have genuine issues. But others complain for things they wish the phone had.

So far I love this phone. I have the 7 plus 256gb black. No issues. Yet anyway. Time will tell what happens. I purposely did not upgrade my 6s plus to iOS 10 so when I got the 7 plus it would feel like even more of a new phone for me.

I love my JB 256 GB iPhone 7+. Im coming from a 6+ so the internal differences are noticeably better.

- Screen bleed - Defective iphone, replace for new one.
- Disappointed with camera - Non-issue
- Hiss with video recording - Defective iphone, replace for new one.
- Yellow screen - Defective iphone, replace for new one.
- Heating - Problem with all iphones. Non-issue.
- Etc.... - Non-issue.

Sounds like every iPhone launch, ever.

Just the nature of things. The people that want to whine and complain, do so.

I'm with you. I'm loving my 7+ plus. Some people just like to nitpick and complain and make small issues larger than they have to be.

You're not going to find many people here who like anything. Most everyone seems bitter, salty, and love having their egos stroked. Rest assured though that most everyone else who doesn't live on these forums really like their new iPhone!

Zero issues with my 7+ Jet Black. I'm sure some of those are actually legit issues but there's a small sampling of people with them.

I just realized after reading your list that I am getting better ATT signal on mine. I sit in the same spot everyday at work and always had 3 bars with my 6 plus. My 7 plus with the same SIM in it has 4. Cool!

Weaker signal is a weird one. If I got 80mb down on my 6S and 70mb down on my 7, it would not bother me nor would I notice it outside of speed tests.
