Congrats. When are you getting your phone?

No idea. Digi tracking says its 'partially' shipped whatever that means.

Im more relieved that I've got my order in partly due to the dwindling ringgit and fear of not getting thephone until next year. But stil kinda wish i could have the 'buying from digi center' feeling. Really different from them posting to you. Especially for those who rarely buy phones like myself biggrin.gif

Yeah, there is the fear of myr weakening further. I'm glad to have made the purchase too. Did you buy the 128gb?
*
Yup got myself the 128gb. This phone definitely for the long term. Until ip 10 perhaps. My current phone is a 4s that contributes 20% of my daily stress. puke.gif

Quite difficult to find TG SPs without the halo effect. After 2, I went for X-One Pet film. Also have this brand's Camera Lens protector and Home Button's. With the latter applied, it sort of became a smidgen less sensitive to the touch. Same experience with you?

Bought a few cases as well for my 7Plus, the latest 2 being Spigen Neo Hybrid and like yours, Liquid Armor. The former, according to my liking, I find it just a tad too bulky. And for the Liquid Armor, the sides are slippery. Caution must be exercised when handling the phone. As for transparent cases, fingerprints are evident with the Matt Black sitting underneath.

Oopss..i just bought the liquid armor hoping it had a rubbery grippy feel sad.gif

I notice the iPhones without the "s" usually not enough stock. The last time I bought i6+ was in Jan 2015 from Maxis after constantly monitoring their stocks.
Yeah, no regrets buying now.

You reckon the MYR will keep weakening? Hope next year iPhone 8 prices won't go up like crazy.
Then you made the right choice. smile.gif

How is the liquid armor?

Have not received it yet, ordered from Lelong.my. Will give a short comment once i receive the casing. and the phone of course. tongue.gif

The 6 was an exception because there was a big design change from the 5S, and it was the first time a Plus version became available so the stock shortage was expected. But the 7 stock shortage is surprising. It's the third year in a row where there has been very minimum design change and everyone is complaining about the lack of innovation from Apple or how boring and uninspiring the design of the 7 is, and yet, no stocks anywhere of the Plus model biggrin.gif
*
i think its more of a case of demand exceeding supply which was unexpected by apple. Spoke to a few Telco stores and they said the stock level for the 7 plus was about the same as 6 plus last time. but somehow this time around its flying of the shelves even after 1 month since launched.

My take on the liquid armor: -

Pros: -
1. Very slim and sleek. Fits comfortably in the hand
2. The textured back feels very nice and Comfortable
3. Price is not expensive - I bought it for RM65 including shipping

Cons: -
1. Somehow feels more fragile than the Otterbox cases I am so used to previously
2. The side grip is a little slippery, if you're not careful it could slip off your hands
3. Because of the slim profile, I'm guessing it won't fit with a full coverage tempered glass

[attachmentid=8053646]

[attachmentid=8053642]

the 3 main criteria for me was
1) Not slippery
2) Can absorb shock from dropping
3) slim.

Assumed the rubber finish of the Liquid armor would give a good grip. Now im scared considering how clumsy i am.haha

Because Digi will receive the unit on your behalf and send back to AASP for warranty claims and then collect back from them when its ready and delivery to you. Now you can send directly.
No... because Digi doesn't want to deal with petty customers like you.  tongue.gif

But they still owe me an Iphone i ordered. (only yesterday) but yeah, petty customers are the noisiest ones! biggrin.gif

I not sure because the apps didn't tell. Probably is cache or unneeded data.

After clearing it, I check most my apps no issue include games status.

I actually have this problem with my current iphone where the 'others' portion takes up a large chunk of my space. Never knew how to solve this

Fully agreed with @silencer5089 👌 Also, coating prevents scratches, best is to combine it with good shock absorption cases.

Was thinking of doing the coating but was told it needs half a day to a full day to complete. Maybe will resort to the book wrap technique or my wifes kotchen wrap. laugh.gif

The problem with jet black...

The coating process will take approximatey an hour. Best is Not to use the phone minimally for the next 8 hours.
Like me, i off my phone for 24 hours biggrin.gif

Waited so many months for the phone after my 4s started acting up in June. I dont think i can survive another day knowing i have the phone in hand.haha

Nope, my jet black is still in perfect condition, changed the back SP several times, the printings didn't come out and no scratches detected at this moment. Using casing all the time with front and rear SP

Im actually using the apple protector that came in the box. Just cut it to shape under my casing

2 days into using my ip7+.

Battery life is still insifficient for me prsonally. Woke up fully charged at 8.30am. By 12.30pm im already at 65% with only moderate surfing/fb/whatsapp with no games at all. Might be good compared to 6a but still insufficient i personally feel. And whatsapp background seems to consume the most battery now.

Portrait mode is super cool. But the high noise even in decent indoor lighting is a bit of a turn off. Default camera still works better. But still a very cool feature to play around with.

Other than that everything else exceeds my expctations. Just makes me wonder how i survived so long with my 4s.

P/s: was wondering if having the original from the box back sticker can over heat the phone. Im using a non original super bulky ottebox commuter series as temp casing

I heard the rear plastic screen protector doesn't stick especially on the jet black models because of the surface. Did yours peel or bubble?
Not worth risking if you ask me unless because so called oem cables are made to look identical to the original ones. If you want guaranteed original, only buy from Apple online or AASPs only. If you dont want to get the original, you can buy those from Remax etc. Those work well too.

Remax got less risk to damage battery?just wondering bcos i was worried to go for remad also
