Yeah, went for the Anker as it's the only one that has a review with a picture showing the moved camera hole. Good find!

I assume these protectors don't curve around the glass do they? I always used them until the curved screens on the 6 made it just nasty around the bezel both to look at and to use.
 
If they're anything like the Solo2 wireless, then don't bother. Sound is **** for the price. Spend a little more and get the Bowers and Wilkins P7 Wireless.

The Senheiser Momentum 2 is also a good pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones. That's what I use.

I looked at a review of these and it was talking about the Bluetooth technology/software used by Sennheiser (apt?) not being compatible with Apple. I'm assuming as you use them that's not true?
 
Bit off topic but I've read that only one camera in the 7 Plus is a wide-angle lens. That's the lens that's the same as the one in the 7.
Yes, the other one is not wide angle. It provides the optical zoom.

Midnight blue is a dark horse colour. I wrote it off as boring but recently I got the midnight blue modern buckle for my watch and it's beautiful indeed. It's become my favourite strap.
Agreed :) started with the midnight blue Sport strap for my Watch, now I have a cover on my iPad, and I am very tempted to get the Midnight Blue leather case for the phone :)

I feel like the odd one out when you're all talking about cases as I always get a Joli sleeve. Then I never use screen protectors as the sleeve protects it in my bag. My iPhone 6 is pretty much pristine after two years. One small scratch on top corner.

This time I ordered the limited collection teal leather with orange felt. If it's as nice as looks I may treat my iPad mini to a new sleeve in the same colours.

I also don't plan on using a screen protector (and may go naked on the case front too) but how do you get the phone out of those pouches???
 
This thread moves at such a pace but I always find myself trying to catch up on what everybody has been saying no matter how many pages have been added since I last looked! :D Also my iPhone 7 Plus Matte Black 128GB is still on 27-29 Sept and I'm jealous but very happy for those orders which have been moved forward by a few days! :)

Hi

I have been lurking and following this thread since its creation, and thought I would add my experience to it. I ordered the Iphone 7 plus 128GB Black, received my confirmation at 08.04 on Friday morning. I originally had a delivery date of 27 Sep - 29 Sep, though it moved up to Delivers 20 Sep - 22 Sep sometime on Sunday. I dont see any sign of payment on my CC yet.
Fingers crossed it moves up again.

I use them with my iPhone 6S Plus, iPad Pro 9.7" and MacBook Pro. They work just fine.

Begin pedantic comment...

Technically it's not a 'zoom' because it's a fixed lens. It's just a telephoto lens. There is no optical zoom on the 7s, effectively you're taking 'off' one lens and replacing it with another - just it doesn't come off. Apple are a bit cheeky with this. Any zooming would be digital (as it is now on any iPhone)

Pedantic comment ends.

No they come short of the curved edges. This is only a temp for me anyway, until others start getting released.

Fair enough, at some point along the line I thought the same as you so must be this tireless waiting (and waking up early all the time) that has got my brain marred a bit. That's the explanation I *was* looking for haha.

They aren't so tight so you can get finger and thumb in. Yet at the same time the felt holds the phone snug and the leather doesn't stretch permanently spoiling the look. I've never had the phone fall out. The leather is very soft not like the hard case of say a snugg where you have the elastic gizmo to release. Love my Joli sleeve.

Don't they all come short of the edges anyway? Which are the ones that done and don't look woeful? All the ones I've ever seen look terrible or affect which case you can use because of the bezel edge

Cool- wasn't intending to be a pedant. I am though a photographer so it's something that I picked up on when they were announcing it ;)
 
They are, I have the tan leather/teal felt for my iPhone 6 and it has aged beautifully. I'm quite sad to be leaving it behind but I've ordered a 7+. The 6 will go to my OH but he'll put an ugly case on it as he's Mr Butterfingers.

Haha I love their limited collection. I remember a dark blue one with red lining inside and it was so stunning, was gonna ask if they're gonna come back.

Looks really nice for a MacBook but not so sure for a phone.. Won't it be a hassle to get it out and put it back in constantly?

Exactly why I don't have it for my phone :) I use my phone too much whereas my mac is just purely for work purposes and I hardly put it away.

I bought some QC's (the new wired ones?) 25? From Amazon Spain. They were a lot cheaper. They didn't arrive after 10 days. When I complained a pair arrived the very next day! Good tip is to check different Amazon countries. I've bought loads of stuff this way and it usually is dispatched in the UK.

I did this for something similar that was on Amazon France. I've been holding off a lot of purchases recently to save money. Might be looking at ordering a Samsung T3 this way soon.
[doublepost=1473634859][/doublepost]
I've been keeping an eye on the QC35 too, tried them in a shop the other day and they sound amazing!!
But after Apple announced the W1 chip for better pairing, I'm inclined to wait and see if Bose will use it in their next model...

Theyre beautiful! Loving the new design over the QC15s. Qc25/35s might be my next headphone purchase.

My order is the same model / date as yours & hasn't moved at all, despite all the others that have brought forward.

I'm optimistic it'll be here before that second weekend, maybe a couple of days earlier but not much (gut feel / optimism, not science!).
 
So you guys are saying check stock for reservations at 6:45 in the morning or 8am? Unsure about this guys
 
There always an increase over the US conversion, but it's usually in line with the rest of Europe. This year is 10x that amount. Brexit happened, it's not rocket science, but you're in denial it seem.

Heres some articles to back my point up...

6.45, but from 6 on 17th.



Ive been enjoying powerbeats 2, but will give the AirPods a go.



It's an Apple proprietary chip, so sadly will only be in Apple Devices.
Denial over what?

This is a wider Apple move to increase prices in all international markets

Their pricing strategy has become a joke , whether I'm paying in pounds, euros, dinars or rupees

I find it fascinating that even thought more revenue is derived from international markets, Apple are so reticent to increase us prices
 
I was charged 3 hours ago for my in store pickup of the 7 Plus RG I don't really want but will use until my Black arrives ;)

I used Apple Pay and initially the wallet app showed it as a declined payment but for whatever reason the next try it worked. I never got any email or status changed from the order tracking.

It is interesting Apple are charging us on Sunday - when those phones for pick up won't arrive until Thursday. Seems like its a bit early to charge.

Meanwhile my Black 128GB Plus still shows 27-29 September. I haven't seen mine move however I am hopeful that like last year we will see 6-8 days delivery get delivered for Friday.


What bank are you with? I'm seeing loads of people getting charged today (Sunday) I got charged on Friday afternoon after my bank tried to decline the payment as soon as I confirmed it was I buying the iPhone the payment left right away and then switched me to "Preparing to Ship" I'm with Barclays by the way. I ordered the 7 Plus 128gb in gold.

Same as you, same model exactly, and same dates. Let's hope we move forward! What time was your confirmation email?
 
So you guys are saying check stock for reservations at 6:45 in the morning or 8am? Unsure about this guys

Officially Apple is saying iPhone upgrade reservations open back on 17th at 6am. Someone on here was saying that they noticed more stock being available at about 6.45am last few days. Not much, but noticeable.

Denial over what?

We always see and increase each year. My original point was that the UK has seen a dramatically larger increase this year, compared wth the rest of Europe due to Brexit, which you were arguing against then started ignoring when facts got in the way
