Why Apple now announce their processor as quad core and has more RAM now? We don't need those. Same goes with the dual camera, look at HTC it died. Just like the first iPhone we don't need the specifics, we will just buy it. We all know iOS is lightweight and therefore faster. We also don't need those water-resistant certified thingy, since iPhone 6S passed the water test in many review even though it is not water resistant certified. Apple & iOS rules, we don't need to mimic any of those Korean & Taiwanese features.

Every company want more and more sales and not only maintain current sales quantities for small portion die hard fans.

Specification and functionally is the main key point to attract more users that know it can do better.

iOS no longer lightweight since two years ago, it needs more RAM to maintain it stability & multitasking, higher processor for increase functionality apps, better hardware to gain better output because a smart user needs more and more.

That's why.... priorities people! My colleague who works for SGD branch of my company earns average SGD 4k per month, 128gb iphone 7 only SGD 1218. That's 30% of their monthly salary. Over here in MYR, salary average RM5k for the same job. 128gb iphone 7 RM3699 (est). 74% of their monthly income. Sad but true.

Tried out the i7 and 7 Plus for 30 minutes. What I can conclude is:

- Not much changes compared to 6S.
- Slightly speedier than 6S.
- Pics taken are more true to the actual color.
- Screen on 7 is warmer compared to 6S.
- Home button works great. The haptic feedback actually works really well. I got used to it after 15 minutes.
- Personally the matte black is a fingerprint magnet. I'm not a fan. If you're like me who likes space gray, the closest thing to space gray is now silver.
- The dual speaker set up is now really loud.
- The 2x zoom on the 7+ really isn't anything to shout about. Unless you're always zooming when taking pics (who does that?!), this is more of a gimmick than of real use.

There's really nothing much else to comment since it's so similar to the 6S. I've updated to iOS10 so my 6S is really snappy.
For those who wants to compare Space Gray to Black, I know you seldom see them being side by side so feel free to see the images I took below. Jet Black wasn't on display so I can't comment much but I've heard its really prone to scratches (and looks like the plastic 5C).

These are purely my personal opinions. I just want to share with y'all my views and hopefully help out a potential buyer. Call me an iFag if you want to. I've been using the iPhone ever since the first but this time round, I'm still trying to figure why I want/need the iPhone 7.

Different people different needs. Actually the 2x optical zoom is the main reason I want iPhone 7 Plus. Haha! It is obvious useful for me.

Color wise, beside Jet Black and Black, this time the silver look very nice, another 2 colors is completely out from my selection.

My prefer color Jet Black (I know it scratch within a day but I will use transparent case, so shall be ok), Black and then Silver.

Exactly bro. Diff ppl diff wants/needs. That's why I was sure to add *my personal opinion* at the end. Or else kena bash from others laugh.gif

I guess in terms of color, people should just get what they like best. Some of my colleagues like gold. But because the new Jet Black was so hyped up and used in all the ads, they feel like it's more famous/glamorous so they end up getting the Jet Black, which is what they don't really like, but what society thinks is cool. Messed up. But alahh, suka hati la dia  biggrin.gif
*
Actually the gold and pink rose is nice color but Apple didn't make the white bar same color which make the bar for signal still very obvious like last year.

This year is Jet Black as it is main target color use for advertising, like last year is pink rose, last last year is gold.

Too bad the rumors blue is not inside, that color is freaky awesome also.

If don't like that color but get because follow is the most dumb action, later possible will regret. Haha!

Like one of my friend last year get the pink rose but he too scared to show out, always fully hide inside the case as scared to let people know he is using pink color phone. lol

then is glad to hear that
btw why need the home button to vibrate, is it to inform user that they press the home button already rclxub.gif
for the Plus model, it is way longer than my note 7, and nowadays I prefer smaller phone, easier for me to play Pokemon Go and the phone is lighter laugh.gif
as for bokeh effect, not really interested on it since I am not a good photographer since a lot apps can do them but off course is worse than it laugh.gif
*
The bokeh effect I never care, plenty software can do that.

What I care is the 2x optical zoom, this one is dream for me for having inside a phone.

Hope future will have 4x or even 6x optical zoom but off course cannot be bulky like Nokia N808.

If you use casing, then choose the jet black
If you don't use casing, then choose matte black

The problem is sometimes I use, sometimes I not.

Also if the transparent casing on the Jet Black show hallow effect then I cannot stand on it, no video showing how the output yet if put on transparent case.
  • Jet Black - I love Jet Black in 1st look, it still look nice but sometimes I feel it looks like Samsung and sometimes it looks like plastic, and too easier to scratch.
  • Black - More look more nice actually, just I not sure how black it is, some video/photo show it is deep black, some show a bit too bright grey. I not prefer if it is too bright grey.

Thanks for anyone that vote for my poll - Jet Black or Black.

After watching few scratch test video on Jet Black, I decide not to taken it already, the Jet Black is like a paint on top the aluminum, the scratch level is too easier already even by wiping the phone via clothes. This is not gonna to safe from scratch even putting the case on it as case still can collect dusk and the time you take out to wipe will eventually anytime scratch it.

I decide already - Black is my choice. smile.gif now the big problem! where to get the money! Singapore already anytime within 2 to 3 weeks can get it if you buy it now for black color. cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

Omg bodo me. I totally forgot to indicate which country I converted from.
Hong Kong bro.

By the way, for those wondering how easily the iPhone 7 Jet Black scratches, see video below (spoiler: it's really REALLY fragile. even coins will start scratching it).


*
Not only coin, even clothes also can scratch it, this is the most I can't accept. I don't might if it can scratch by coin or key chain but clothes wiping is another story already.

How you take care also no use unless they is a skin wrapping up forever and need to change from time to time as skin also is scratch-able.

So now i make up my decision already - just get the matte black. smile.gif

so is not surprise it is so fragile and easy to get scratch
and I guess those demo in those Apple Reseller sure put less demo for the Jet Black colour, as if got too many scratches Apple Malaysia may come and sue them put so ugly phone in demo to show to customer laugh.gif

Sorry bro, the material is the same, just jet black have extra layer of black coating

Even plastic also not that fragile. This is some sort of extreme low quality coating.

From video in internet I seen, I feel the Jet Black back does't look like plastic but the side do a bit plastic look. This is same as my current Huawei P9 Plus Gold coating where over done and a bit look like plastic than aluminium.

The back is shine and pretty, I still very like it, but the side I not that like, and this shine really nice cover up the antenna line, because it is shine and reflection easier to cover up.

The Matte Black wise I feel more look more nice, it look much premium as more like a real aluminium look. Also nicely cover up the antenna line.
