the glossy black one is awful TBH it's super tacky and it's made for people who use covers ..awful covers!
So essentially the iPhone 7 is what it was supposed to be. Apple hasn't made a big leap with phones since the introduction of the iPhone 4. Not counting putting a bigger screen.
"But compared to the iPhone 6S, the iPhone 7 is a step improvement, not a major leap."
"The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus clearly hold their own, but I don’t think they blow the pack away."
And it comes from 'The Verge"Nothing but the hype (fake one) on the new cameras

After seeing the Jetblack even briefly in those videos, I can sense all the fingerprints and tiny scratches even through my screen... pushing me a bit towards canceling my order and getting the regular black one.. damn, tough decision, I love the unibody feel, but not sure..
If the people using phrases like 'if Steve Jobs were alive......', 'this would never happen under Steve Jobs...', realised how juvenile they sound, they would stop.
Steve Jobs is dead - accept it. He's never coming back. No one EVER will be like Steve Jobs. What he WOULD have done is totally irrelevant at this point. Please move on to something actually pertinent to discussions here.
One thing that a lot of the reviews do not do is to compare the 7 to the 6. They all seem to compare it to the 6s. That doesn't tell me a whole lot about how significant the changes will be to someone who is coming from a 6. I guess they DO think everyone upgrades yearlyWhy do people always say they're not "essential upgrades"? Do they think everyone upgrades yearly?
This is a fantastic upgrade for anyone NOT on a 6S.
So glad I switched from the jet black to matte at last second. Even though I use a case it would've driven me crazy to have it start scratching within a week.
Keep your personal experience to yourself next time. Just because YOU experienced 4hrs battery life doesn't mean everyone else does or needs to be told. Hope you feel better with your plus experience.Sorry that my personal experience offended you in some way. The 7 plus will beat the SE's battery by a long shot buddy.
Good on ya. I sold my 128GB iPhone 6 to get the SE. I was debating for the longest time, more storage or better battery life and back to my favourite design. In the end, 64GB is enough for my usage, but some people here feel only the latest and largest one is the right choice.Amen, picked one up after i sold my 6 plus and i'm pretty happy, the battery life is exceptional as is the speed, and the fact my thumb can swipe the whole screen as i hold it one handed, I'll be back for the iphone 8, but I'm happy with the SE
I always hated those seethrough cases. Just find them absolutely awful.Get a slim see through case. Of course that's if you're into accessories like that.
http://www.spigen.com/collections/jet-black-series-for-iphone-7-7-plus I suggest you check out this sight. I just ordered one for my future JB 7+!As a future Jet Black owner, the reviews showing that the phone will show hairline scratches even after only a few days use has me worried. I guess I better get a clear case right away....usually I don't use cases but this time it looks unavoidable.

Sentence this no sense is making.When is iPhone is an essential update from previous version![]()
Before I went into automotive my original career choice was going to be audio engineering. So yes, I know exactly what a Chord Mojo is. And you're not going to be able to BS someone who is well grounded in both electrical theory and audio.
Next I suppose you're going to tell me a $1,000 set of cables will sound better than a $20 set.
And your last paragraph completely lost me. You seem to be contradicting yourself or being sarcastic. It's hard to tell which.
I hate him because during that debacle he went from crybaby to bully & horrifically cyberbullied an elderly man, calling him all kinds of names, posting his photo and saying "at least I don't look like this", making ageist & racist comments- showing the world what a lowlife scumbag he is.
As to your comment:
Sure... on some very manly men; a Milanese loop may look absurd (so might an Apple Watch in general). On a svelte, hip, or fashionable man- it would look fine.
Since the gentleman (and I use the term VERY loosely) that we're referring to is in no way muscled, or a roughneck, or manly in any way I can think of- I deem that "excuse" ridiculous for him.
Not all lightning audio cables have a built in DAC. The earpods dont, none of the cheaper stuff does. You need power to drive a DAC and the DAC is usually integrated into the headphones when it comes to lightning headphones. Look at Philips Fidelio
So far it's only been confirmed by one network in one country.
Oh jesus. Are you just as daft as most people bitching about headphone jacks? The removal of the headphone jack and using lightning / digital is the BEST ****ING THING EVER. Want proof? http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/9/12859858/no-headphone-jack-iphone-7-reaction
Read what Sennheiser, Audio Technica and other PROFESSIONAL HIGH END AUDIO companies have said. I would take wired headsets that have active noise cancelling, eq balancing via app, DAC built-in over analog piece's of **** that have been around for too long.
I keep running into people on MR that just happen to be self proclaimed experts....it's a skill I guess
as a would be sound engineer , I suggest you audition the mojo vrs your lightning cable , and get back to me. Could not care what your career choices might have been, does not mean you know what you are talking about
Wow you pulled the cable debate, amateurish , you should have asked if I believe a £1000 USB cable makes a difference .... Cause that is where he real BS high audio exists. And the cable post just confirms that you don't get high end audio, so you believe every single cable , in an analogue world sounds the same? Wow. Trust me there is a lot of BS and crap being sold at huge prices, but your ears must need checking if you cannot tell the difference when you Change cables. You passes electronics right ?
you realise the Lightning port cable solution has a major problem with power to run higher impedance headphones.....why do you think I own the mojo ? So I can get into silly debates about the DAC quality? It's also an amp, put two and two together , it's a far superior product cause it will even let me run my senheiser HD800 heaphones , run those from a lightning port.
My advice , try your $500 headphones using your $50 cable and the mojo, and come back to me . You sound like someone who has a $500 heaphones and knows everthing about audio ...sorry mate, those are just decent heaphones, nothing special at all in the grand world that is high end headphones.
Congratulations, you win the award for most ignorant post on macrumors today, and that's an impressive feat. The Audeze lightning phones have had a mixed reception at best (you ARE aware that the EL-8 are generally considered to be a near complete failure, and the Sines have had very mixed reviews, right?).
So typical. You know you're wrong and are resorting to insults: "you passes electronics right"? Shouldn't that be "passed"? If you're going to insult someone's intelligence or imply they failed at school, at least get the spelling right, lest you make yourself look foolish.
Or "would be sound engineer". Oooooh, another poor attempt at a dig. FWIW, back in the 80's when I was in school I used to modify studio recording consoles. At that time there were big advancements in op-amps (like the NE5532/34) and I would replace these in consoles. For some you could drop them right in and for others you had to modify the circuit slightly to work. I also used to fit fully balanced differential front ends to channel strips that were either unbalanced or used transformers for their balanced input. Another mod I did was changing channel routing for strips based on a specific need they had. I also used to do a lot of custom wiring to connect all the studio gear along with making custom patch bays.
I've also been an audiophile since the 80's having owned (very proudly) almost exclusively Canadian made gear by companies like PSB, Energy and Bryston. Which also happens to be the type of gear that the snobby audiophiles (the ones who believe cables sound different) hate so much because it offers the same performance as their favorite esoteric brands that cost several times more.
Now back to your incorrect comments.
First off, I stated the Mojo could drive headphones to higher levels because it has greater output. So why are you bringing up something I already said?
Second, I'm talking about sound quality, not output. You stated something as a fact without even knowing if it was true (that a Mojo driving Audeze headphones would sound better than the Lightning cable). Yet you were calling someone out the other day for stating something without providing evidence (that Samsung rushed the Note 7). Gee, that's not hypocritical AT ALL.
You're going on and on about the Mojo but you're forgetting one simple thing: the Cipher cable for Audeze headphones is matched specially to each model. It has a high end DAC, DSP processor tuned for the specific headphone and amplifier matched to the drivers. It likely can't play as loud as a Mojo (which I already said), but it's sheer stupidity to think a generic DAC and amplifier are going to sound better.
Anyway, that's my simple explanation. If you think I'm wrong (I'm not) we can discuss electrical engineering as it relates to the principles of audio. Just let me know your comfort level and I'll try to KISS for you.

I'd love to see your list of Sine reviews that are "mixed". The majority of the ones I read give them a very good rating. So please provide your list so I can compare.
It's kind of Apples vs well other Apples comparison. Before battery life, size matters. No matter what, I'm just not into the Plus sizes. I can tolerate the 4.7" phones, but beyond that, I'd rather drag my 7.9" iPad Mini around if I want to show pics, but for me a phone needs to be light, portable, fit unobtrusively on my belt and generally be "phone sized".It's 4-5 hours if you are a very heavy user. I use my gps all day long while browsing the internet, doing conferences calls, taking pictures, the screen is on all day long. It's about the same as the 6. But for a "super extreme heavy user" like myself, 4-5 hours on the SE and 6 suck, better for lighter users. (came from a 6S+ to an SE)
Honestly the SE is great from a form factor and one-hand usability standpoint. With the release of the 7's the SE's now in 2nd place if you're looking at performance, battery, and camera. Maybe next year I'll go back once they have edge-to-edge SE along with rest of the sizes. That one will probably have a slightly bigger screen and better battery by then.
