Most give Apple a pass? Please. This board is basically composed entirely of people complaining about Apple.
No, the real issue is that people give neurotic snowflakes like you a pass. You're downright obsessive, and need actual help.
If anyone should be mad at Apple, they should be mad that they tolerate nuts like you going in to swap phones a dozen times over some fictional issue.
When you go through that many phones and every one has issues? The problem isn't with the phones, it's in your own head.
Got that right, I have never had a bad iPhone and I have been using them since launch 2007
Same. People look for problems to whine and complain about. It's truly something wrong in their head.
My 6S+ had a faint gray spot in the bottom left corner and a dead pixel in the top left. What did I do? Nothing. In the grand scheme of things it did nothing to negatively affect my experience with the phone. I used it for over a year like that until I traded it for my 7+.
You can't let little things like that bother you. Just deal with it and move on with your life.

Every defect I've mentioned is demonstrable and observed by others. Every issue was demonstrated before replacement.
A defect is a defect.

Get an android!! Your better off with that and not an iPhone dude.
Why? Because I cannot use speakerphone anymore because it sounds like crap now or because I saw lines in the screen when trying to watch a video?
I like iOS, I don't like defects.
I'm most surprised that you didn't like iOS 10. I think it's great and use android alongside it. Much better in presenting information than previous versions of iOS.
I'm getting used to it. I still feel the biggest weakness in iOS is notifications. Android was really good about putting things in your face. With iOS, it's easier to miss things.
I still think the lock screen should continually show notifications until they are cleared. I think the notification shade has largely fixed that now, but it should be on the lock screen.
iOS 6 jailbroken with IntelliscreenX was pretty much flawless.
I did have intelliscreen and liked it; only jaikbreak tweak I paid for. I guess this will heavily depend on the number of notifications you get a day.
Anyway, I hadn't realized you were referring to a jailbreak tweak (maybe I missed it). From a first party release I thought it was by far the best Apple has done.
iOS 6 was more streamlined, but Apple has slowly added some of the best jailbreak tweaks over the years, 'coincidental' I'm sure. Every iOS has always needed a tweak to function properly. There isn't a single logical reason why I can't toggle GPS in the Control Center.
I had iOS 8.3 jailbroken on my iPhone 6. I had pages of toggles and quick launch apps.
I still don't understand why the current call lock screen covers over notifications and GPS though. Seems like a huge oversight.
I also wish there was a way to ignore a call but not send directly to voicemail. It sucks not be able to use the phone while someone is calling that you don't want to immediately dump to voicemail.
Sounds like we are in the same page
I kept my 6s plus this year and am happy I did. I may get into the jaikbreak scene again just for a bit of a change of pace. And of course the added functionality.
Intelliscreen really sucked after iOS 6. I just used JB to speed up animations, get extra toggles, remove carrier name in title bar and be able to drag my cursor around from the keyboard.Sounds like we are in the same page

iOS 10 is a train wreck (for many people) because Apple wants it to be.
The last thing Apple wants is a perfectly satisfied customer. It's a fine line they play between satisfaction and irritation.
A little of both to keep us always hungry for something better. ... That will never quell our appetites.
Everyone has these grand illusions that the next iPhone 8 & iOS 11 is going to be the great savior.
Ain't gunna happen.
The combo is guaranteed to be filled with bugs galore

LOL I was going to say, some of us are still waiting for our first, and this guys been through 5 already.
That being said, I'm sure they have replacement ones in stores, in case replacements are needed and these are separate from NIB models we are waiting on.
Its just amusingly ironic.
They were all new stock. Apparently the BEST one (iPhone 7 256GB Flat Black) is available all over.LOL I was going to say, some of us are still waiting for our first, and this guys been through 5 already.

As I stated earlier, I just want one defect free phone.
