So what gate do we have with the 7?

On general tasks the iPhone 7 is slightly slower than the 6S. Videos starting to emerge showing it slower at opening apps and web pages. The slower power saving cores are having an impact.
Also my mate compared his 6S and 7 loading apps and games loaded a second or 2 slower on his 7 than his 6S.
Thanks for posting that. I think the video is not very convincing though. IMO he doesn't launch the browsers at the same time. Furthermore the 7 was acting as a hotspot at the same time.
Also the first few hours (maybe more) your phone is downloading carrier settings specific to your area and in general, it is organizing all your freshly transferred content (hints the phone getting warm the first day which some people posted). If this was shown (without hotspot) in about 2 days (maybe less) then it would be more viable as a test.
Other than the obvious UbiquitousAudioPlugGate or 3.5mmGate...

Apparently the new home button in the iPhone 7/7S requires skin contact to function. So those in cold weather cities will no longer be able to wear those special gloves to operate their iPhone 7s in the cold. They'll have to take off/keep off their gloves now.
Remember iOS6 Apple Maps debacle? Since Apple Maps worked well in Cupertino, that 'logically' meant it works well in the rest of the world, right?
And since you don't need gloves in Cupertino, that means NO ONE has the need to wear gloves, right?
keeps on isolating itself more and more from their user base, into it's own little bubble, or should I say space ship.
I just hope that some of you who have thumbed your noses at those upset with loss of the 3.5mm plug, also live in cold weather cities, so you can feel some inconvenience as well

Non issue.
The entire SCREEN requires skin contact.
How about availability-Gate? Inventory-Gate?
The 7+ release on the 16th is barely true. It's a complete joke.
Apple should have set the release for the 30th for a better customer experience.
Put it this way, if an Apple store rep says there are no 7+ models and line loses more than half it's customers, that's a pretty clear sign that Apple has some piss poor product planning and logistics in place or complete absurd expectations.
This is what i'm interested in hearing about. There was one video that show the guy scratching the lens with a pick that was hardness 6. He stated that sapphire is a hardness of 8. So the lens was not sapphire. It had to be glass.
Would be interested to know what's going on with that.

No, folks have tested the capacity gloves and they can be used to activate the new home button. Maybe you need a slightly better quality glove than the $10 one that has a little nub of capacity material on it to work, but they definitely work. And you would need such a glove to use the screen anyway.

Assuming you understand that there is a limitation to how many iPhones Apple can make each week and this limitation is driven in part by how many iPhones Apple wants to make over the coming year (i.e., they won't build an entire manufacturing line that is only used during the launch month), what is your plan? Should Apple store several billion dollars worth of iPhones at various locations across the world for a few more weeks so it can have more availability on launch day? That seems like a recipe for (A) tons of leaks and (B) thefts of epic proportions. Not to mention, if Apple has some catastrophic issue like the Samsung Note, your plan would increase the damage as more iPhones would be created prior to the discovery of the fatal flaw.
Maybe pick was not hardness 6. Maybe fraud, maybe just mislabeled before he bought the pick. Maybe coating was scratched. Maybe the naturally occurring sapphire had some flaw. I don't know. Does all sapphire have exactly the same hardness?
Apple intentionally lying about the lense in order to save a few pennies on these small lenses while being fully aware of the level of scrutiny immediately done on every iPhone is not a logical conclusion.
