Purchased the iPhone 7 already - at Direct D along the Federal Highway... Somehow they managed to get stock of the 7 before everyone else, not bad!

Well, mine was the 128GB Gold and I bought it for $4,099.00 (in MYR ya, I always use the dollar sign when typing monetary amounts)... Isn't that the standard RRP, by the way?

Quite surprised that Direct D managed to get the iPhone 7 ahead of everyone else though... I also never knew about this until one of the staff at an iPhone repairer mentioned about them, when chatting with him while getting a phone repaired!

Jet Black iPhone 7 = paying a bomb for something that is of a glossy color which is also a smudge magnet!

Which is why I went for the gold version instead... You get the same thing at a lower price, but still with that sharp camera, "touch-less" Home button, super-quick processor, and stereo speakers!

With regards to battery, I have never done any full charge since using the iPhone 7 when I got it a few days ago... I remember reading some posts about it being not a good thing to do this too often, as it will bring down the battery life in the long run.

As such, is it better to charge the phone at short intervals during the day? I usually have it connected to the cable when driving or in the office, by the way.

Wow, that's the price I paid for an iPhone 7 at Direct D... That's a good deal, amazing!

Still, better than not getting the phone while it's already available (and the iPhone 6 is also aging at the same time)... Good thing that MBB also has 24 months installment, because from my history with the iPhone 6, that's roughly the time I expect to use the 7 before changing it again!

Seems like the price of the similar iPhone 7 Gold model in Gemfive is MYR4,199.00? A hundred dollars more expensive than Direct D and without the means to pay via installment, which means I'm lucky I got it earlier then...

Dunno whether Direct D still has stock or not, for those of you interested in getting the iPhone 7 before its official Malaysian launch?

Hmmm, haven't really tried using the Video camera but I'll try it in a quiet area later (likely to be the bathroom in the office)... And see if the hissing sound is very obvious or there is nothing at all!

Good to see so many of you finally getting your iPhone 7... Hope you have a good time with your new gadget - because I certainly am!

Anyone of you are just like me and went for the Gold iPhone 7? I preferred black actually but just because of the color, I had to pay more and didn't want to do that - so I went for the model with the same color as my previous iPhone 6!

But enough of seeing gold color for now, which is why I bought this Spigen Rugged Armor casing - it's black and at least I have something similar to the original iPhone 7 color that I liked...

Mine was a store purchase from Direct D, or more specifically, their "Gadget Mega Store" located along the Federal Highway... It's a Hong Kong set, if I'm not mistaken, which explains why they can get it in September!

Yup, and that's where Maybank cardholders have an advantage - I bought the iPhone 7 from DirectD and even if the usual credit charges have to be bundled into the price, I ended up only paying around $150.00 / month for this phone on a 24-month installment plan... And from my past phone usage, I also tend to change the incumbent model for a newer one after two years (the iPhone 6 is the best example, bought in December 2014 and finally replaced by the 7 last month)!

I bet that on October 14, due to the reasons that Glithoniel said, we won't see the iPhone 7 flying off the shelves unlike the previous models (unless if you're a user of, say, the iPhone 4 or 5, which means the 7 is definitely a BIG jump for you)... I may be wrong though!

Because it's definitely stylish and of a different color from ANY iPhone previously... But yeah, the fact that it's both a fingerprint and scratch magnet (as well as hefty price) stopped me from purchasing that model!

If budget's not an issue, go for the 7 Plus... Mainly because of the dual-lens camera, faster processor, and hopefully more efficient battery power!
