iPhone 7 has only the hissing sounds as far as I know, if there are other problems it's probably isolated. The Note 7 on the other hand is defective and affects all units. They aren't rectifying the issue, they have completely discontinued it.

As for buying from Senheng, yes, no problems whatsoever purchasing from them, only stocks may be limited.

Sengheng/sengq if phone faulty, also can send to machines for repair?

Ok, I didn't realize Samsung discontinued Note 7 as in not fixing the issues. How sad.  Oh well, there is always Note 8 next year.

You're still set to buy from SenQ?
*
They gave up dy. Coz replacement units also exploding. Name damaged already. Ppl will no longer go notes 7 , even 8, if they managed to fix the issue also.

For those who want change your iPhone due to the hissing problem, please be check and double confirm that your phone is change to a complete new and seal unit with the box or claim warranty and change to a refurbished unit without box.

If the hissing problem is at acceptable level, it is better to continue use it instead of change to a refurbished unit.
*
Yes most probably refurbished set. Will come wrapped but not inside a new box.
Hence the headache starts as many here warned so many times.

If u bought this from Apple online store, call them up, email the photo. No questions ask, they will change 1-1 with u within 7 days.
If u bought from reseller, good luck. If Machines, will first accuse u scratched it.

The yellow tint is due to different calibration for the i7

You can change that as shown in this guide: http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/16/yellow-screen-iphone-7-fix/
*
So what happened to the yellow screen due to screen glue need time to settle/burn in? No longer a valid reason?

Overall:

First during pre-order time - "where got stock a?", "can xxx reseller reliable ar?", "can do EPP?"

then during waiting period - "xxx said delivery today but nowhere been seen?", "still stuck at xxx, status no update"

when some got their phone, it has 2 parts -

1st part: this is for those who planning to buy/still waiting their iphone to arrive:
- "where you bought? still got stock?" "is the xxx discount voucher can be use?", "can someone update me xxx colour still available?"

- "got hissgate a?", "pls confirmed if got hissgate"

2nd part: those who got the phone:

- "hissgate very loud when i put my ear near logo, is it normal?", "wah, why screen so yellowish?"
that's the overall for iphone 7 and 7+  icon_idea.gif

did i miss out anything?  whistling.gif
*
Rinse and repeat for iPhone 8. Replace hissgate with ****gate brows.gif

is there anyway for them to get us a new unit? Switch service center in penang just keep asking us to send it back for checking and they do not take the box and cables.
*
Yes u suspected it. If only take back phone, confirm is refurbished replacement. New set means they must take out a new. On and open in front of u.
Apple care Singapore is very good. Unfortunately bog down by our lousy local reseller service here. Resellers here focus is on sales, not repair.
Welcome to Malaysia "premium resellers" world. Had enough experience either them dy.

If you return via Apple online store returns, they will supply you with a brand new unit box and everything.

If you go to Apple authorised svc it is considered under warranty exchange and they will give you a new unit, but the serial number will differ from that of your original box.
*
They used to send courier guy to collect the whole box from u if within 7 days replacement. U need to print out the report details and give the courier guy.
Now dunno what is process already.

Extremely good for it's asking price. Can hear every detail and wonderful bass. That is saying a lot as I own the Shure 846 also to compare.
Just don't go for the latest model jay bird freedom.

Guys, just want to know.

Despite so many problems with the i7, what makes you still love your phone until date?
*
Let's just say once u are in the iOS ecosystem, hard for u to escape.
Unlike those Sammy phones without update and bug reports go into black holes. Only way to go with android is to buy pure vanilla android phones which is only available here via grey market.

Remember , hardware specs means nothing.
It's all about software and hardware optimization. And frequent updates to make a smoother experience.
So throw the tradition thinking out the window of 'better specs=better phone'
