My excuse is that mine is green and my wife's is pink
Screen looks nice, will be great to show clients new work on that.
I tried it in store today. Old and the new next to each other. The new home button feels strange, did not like it TBH.
Yes, the home button is definitely an acquired taste. I really didn't like it at first, but after a few hours you get used to it.
I think the way apple is thinking is clear. The two biggest points of failure on the iPhone (apart from smashing the screen) were the home button and the headphone socket. Not surprisingly both these are mechanical
I think by removing the mechanical items Apple thinks, probably correctly, that they will have both increased reliability and also reduced their costs under warranty.
I expect the iPhone 8, which will have an edge-to-edge screen, will somehow incorporate the home button in the lower part of the screen, eliminating the top and bottom bands. But we will have to wait and see...
The new point of failure is going to be the lightning port when it receives 5 times the normal usage because of the headphones.
Yes. I thought about that. The last mechanical connection.
I would have thought the iPhone 8 or 9 will have wireless charging. If they also force wireless headphones they won't even need the lightening port anymore
Does anyone use headphones THAT much though? I mean I listen to music nearly nonstop but still don't use headphones much
People asking for pictures before they can even get the device set up good. I'm sure there will be a picture thread coming very soon.
Please who is the producer for such a nice case? I´d like to buy one also for my wife. Hopefully it will be available also here in Europe
It will take awhile to get some good ones though, most people are not photographers...;-)

What is the deal with the "shadows" for the vodafone, wifi signal, gps signal, battery indicator, etc. at the top of your screen? Am I seeing things?

ESR
I think they have unique and beautiful designs. Also their cases cover the top and bottom edge of the phone correctly

Looks like his background is a screenshot. So it shows the time it was taken and all the incidentals that are at the top.
my OCD is driving me crazy looking at that screen!!!
[doublepost=1474051017][/doublepost]btw, 3 email apps? are you a certain US presidential candidate we don't know about?
This is intentional. The VAST majority of cel towers angle their antennas downward because it's where most people are. Reception up high in buildings will tend to be lousy unless they install specific antennas for those buildings.
When I was walking around midtown Manhattan I would sometimes see cellular antennas mounted on buildings directed upwards. This seemed unusual until I looked up higher and saw the Empire State Building... Yep, that building has its OWN cellular antennas directed upwards at it from surrounding buildings.
Gotta love NYC.
I have a screen shot from an older phone with my mother and my late father. Unfortunately it captured the status indicators at the top as well ...
could do, but I am lazy

haven't really noticed this
things are very fast in the 7 plus. I upgraded from the 6 plus (never had the 6s) and its quite noticeable
Also there are lots of new behaviours in iOS 10, e.g. the phone lights up when I pick it up (at least I never made it do this before!)
I have a two pack ready for when my Plus arrives.
The box says 6S Plus on the rear though the speaker grill cut out is a lot wider.
Did yours have the applicator aid?
If so was it an easy application?
Thanks.
not too sure. my one said "iphone 7 plus" on the back. you might have the wrong one
The plastic liner up thing they include is great. Very easy to put on correctly
