Especially in the city where there is some kind of gunk on the pavement that becomes slippery when wet, yet sometimes I still do it; because I get caught in the rain or have to go back home and it has rained. Be careful when turning (straight lines aren't so bad). My tires are 23mm, so I need to especially careful turning after a rain (or on dust and gravel at high speed... yeah, that hurts).
What I hate most is that dirty gunk getting right up my ass and lower back. Yuk!

You must not use the great "Hey Siri" capabilities of your iPhone, and they have gotten even better with iOS 10. Try it, then you'll know a different fact.
Hey Siri, take photo?
Pretty much the only thing I use my phone for on a ride.[/QUOTE]
Use the up volume button. That will take the picture.

As long as you are not Scottish, Siri still sucks but it is improving.
Point is why Apple advertising waterproof aspect of iPhone 7, but refuse offer warranty on water damage. Apple is slapping itself on this issue. This also shows that Apple has no faith on its waterproof claim.
I hear that.
However, the purpose of the add is to inspire the activity. The average lightning strike is 30,000 Amps. Are you saying the add is simply about water resistance? If so, why the intense lighting? Unless they are on a Carbon Fiber Frame, Weekend Warriors that ride in such conditions take unnecessary risks, IMO. Apple seems to be portraying the Series 2 as the Shield from Captain America.
Apple makes no claims on its phone being waterproof, and is thus not able to offer a warranty for that.
Apple in its own website claiming iPhone 7 has IP67 certification.
IP67 is need to have protection on immersion between 15cm to 1m.
How can you say I have IP67 certification, but then not wanrrenty water damage? Is Apple serious? If you don't have faith to your product, then why should I?
It's not waterproof, it's water resistant.
There's no electronic device that the warranty covers water damage. NO ONE!
There's no way for Apple to know if you soaked the iPhone in water for 1 second, or 1 hour at 50 meters.
I hope to never see the day they put an iPhone in a case in their commercial.
Sony does! As long as your devices nit exceed limit of IP certification.

- This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product that is due to: • Normal wear and tear.
• Use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including liquid damage or the detection of liquid inside the device resulting from such use).
Good luck proving you were using the device under the rating limitations, Bah! they basically say they don't cover.
Nice to see.
I hope for his sake he didn't actually have to adjust his 1st gen Deltas before going out.
Touching those things is a big job.

I've been trying out my new iPhone 7 in lighting situations that my 5s couldn't quite handle and it's doing considerably better well in those situations, but I'm still not blown away. It's probably because I'm used to what a true camera can do in low light. It's not a fair comparison, given that a DSLR style camera has one purpose and one purpose only.
I give it the iPhone 7 an OK in the better camera dept. It doesn't live up to the claims of being magical. Pretty good, but still nothing that's going to make me feel like I don't need to haul a DSLR when I want to be sure I get a good photo.

Here's a more extensive comparison:
http://www.cnet.com/special-reports...vs-galaxy-s7-vs-iphone-6s-plus/#7-vs-galaxyS7
The iPhone 7 looks like it holds up pretty well in this shootout. It looks like a lot of the differences may come down to preferences in software post processing. A lot of the Galaxy shots look like they were sharpened more aggressively, which isn't a positive to me. I like to have the option of sharpening on my own if I want to do it.

Much better shoot out.
You can clearly see which one went for the "candy look" and not even if they didn't mark.
Apple Store: "Sir? Your iPhone is damaged by water. It's $349 plus tax to replace the phone."
Costumer: "But in your ad you were showcasing the water proof ability"
Apple Store: "That was just an ad sir,you shouldn't trust the ads.It's $349 plus tax to replace the phone."
There fixed for you.
When the word "Magic" no longer has any allure to human beings. Which, given that we've been attracted to "magic" since we had enough thought to imagine it, will likely be never.
It would be awesome if they'd have shown the actual pictures that were taken.
