Will you stop posting such rubbish, you are misleading people as people are starting to believe you.

Its nothing to do with the glue, these phones were not built a few days ago. These phones will have been assembled at the very least two weeks ago, but the screens will have been manufactured long before then, quite possibly 5 or more weeks ago, but the soonest they are likely to have been manufactured is three weeks ago, but most likely a lot longer. Whichever way glue does not take more than three weeks to cure, it will take no more than a week, Apple are not stupid and neither are the screen manufacturers, they know which glue to use, it will not go away but you will get used to it because it is meant to be like that, it's not a fault and won't go away in a couple of days.

The yellow tint is not a fault it is meant to be like that because it give truer and richer colours and will make your photos look better. The best screen i have ever seen on a laptop is on the rMB and that has a slight yellow tint as well. It is the white/blue tint screens that are not correct, but that is what a lot of people are used to unfortunately.

Ok so accepting I know next to nothing about the timing of manufacture, what does it mean then when my phone serial says it was manufactured week of Sept 12?

Proof please, sounds impossible too me, but i would be happy to be proven wrong.

Once produced these phones still have to travel from china which i believe usually takes about 7-10 days, so to make one this week and have it in your hands in less than a week seems unlikely too me. Even if your phone was assembled this week the actual screen will still have been manufactured much earlier.

I would expect Apple to start manufacturing these phones about July/August because they have to stockpile them for launch, so would expect that to be the stock people received first, seems unlikely yours would have been made this week and be in your hands already.

Shenzhen to LAX is around 15hrs, where did you get 7-10 days for travel time?

From reading the shipping threads on these forums, people often post their UPS details and the phones do quite a lot of travelling before they get to their destinations, they have various customs to go through.

Unless LAX is different and they just stick it on an aeroplane straight to you door virtually.
 
Love the phone as always but this year I was dead set on buying the 7 after having the 6 Plus and 6S Plus. The lack of one handedness being the only reason. But I'm always drawn into better specs like the camera, battery, and screen. Which is why I wound up with a 7 Plus. Still debating on picking up a regular 7 this week but not too sure if I should just stick with the perfectly working phone that I have and continue to deal with the size for the better overall package.
 
Does anybody feel that the zooming in/out animation of app launching is stuttering on the 7/7+? I came from a 6s Plus and it's definitely not there. I have a feeling it's because such animations is done with the lower power cores of the A10 Fusion chip. Or am I wrong here?

And the lightning port on my 7 Plus is exceptionally (wrong as it may sound) tight. I don't remember my 6s Plus to be this tight even when it was brand new.

you know how the serial number lookup to see week of manufacture works right? I'm sure there are tons of people with similar dates. Mine has always been dated this close to preorders. I'm not claiming to know exactly what that means.

No proof then, thought so.

Historically the phones, once scanned in China, will be in your hands within 5 days at the most.

I received shipping/email today(18th) I was quoted the 23rd for delivery. I have since been updated to Tuesday the 20th by UPS.

dude you're kidding right? I didn't discover anything. Have your tried your serial number? Look it up and let's see the date.

I don't have a 7.

Lets leave it at that and not ruin this thread, people can make their own minds up from reading this thread as to whether yours was built this week.

Doesn't really matter really, the glue thing is still a loads of rubbish.

Ok now you're just being dense. You clearly are ignorant regarding manufacture dates. Go look at PY threads and see the timing. Same thing.

Again. I have no idea what it means or impact on glue. Don't even care about glue. Thought you knew something about this. Clearly you don't.
 
Pros- battery life, faster than my 6, Touch ID works a lot faster, camera is better, and the texture seems a little different. It's not as slippery as my 6.
Cons- stereo sound isn't very loud, doesn't seem to have as strong of a cellular signal which is odd.

Overall I'm pleased with the 7. The black also looks great!
