I am a techie person, I like to customize stuff. But I hate setting setups which are not obeyed by the os! Damn u android. Enough of data and battery leaks for me with android.
So now I settle with iOS which obeys ur settings, and don't have to keep using backend app/memory manager to keep disabling stuff after every app update.

Phone should be our slaves, not the other way round. Not so much time to keep resetting my setups. So just stick to simple iOS. So much other things to do in life.

Very well done said, iOS is still better in memory and battery optimization.

Just sharing my experience with android for 3 years. Those who frequent going behind the scene "task managers" to disable this and that will know what I meant. Still remember must disable SNS service to stop Facebook from really draining battery and data. Repeat every time there is a Facebook update.
Then have to install memory optimizer and battery doctor to monitor and disable leaks. But those apps are the one which also leaking battery. 😅
Also, remember nexus announces availability of new firmware, but those using Sammy/oppo/(insert ur brand here) slowly wait another 10 months for an update, yet it doesn't fix the issues u have?

Anyone still remember those? So those who stick to iOS are not IT dummies nor stupid rich fanboys.  Just sick of repeat disabling stuff behind the scene.

Actually I didn't do those since android 5.0

The battery life in android can't pass iOS but thanks to most Android phone now with big battery, keep for a day never an issue anymore. This not means Android battery control already better just big capacity battery is a must in android phone.

For an average user who only use phonecalls, social media and photoshooting. Most Android phones are adequate and it offers a wide price range to choose. Not many can afford or accept the iPhone pricing. Both OS are mature now for daily usage. As long you can afford it comfortably and use happily, that's good.

Been using Android for six years. Now I am thinking for a change. If my budget goes well, could buy the 7 on later half this year. Now only can buy a SE. The only thing that bothers me is many iOS apps don't support my Chromecast.

Chromecast is Google product, for fully compatible better stick with android.

hi,
anyone use the Apple leather case (rm209) for IP7?
If have, can I know your opinion of this case, worth the money or nothing special?
*
I got for iPhone 7 Plus. For me it is too slippery and slightly bulky. Not my liking.

I'm using red color leather at the moment. So far so good.
I like the microfiber inner layer that prevents dust entering the back of the phone .
When it's new, the case is kinda slippery. After one month of usage, the slipness will get lesser.
*
My friend also told me that, but until now I can't use it even for a day. Haha!

QUOTE(kaidorick @ Feb 4 2017, 07:43 PM)
how is the quality, do you think its worth rm209 or just buy a cheap one is ok?
*
The quality is very premium build.

Guys, I din bother to look at the threads as it's too long to read. I wanna ask you guys owning the 7+ 32 and 128. You guys feel big difference for loading hi-res apps? And like taking pics. The saving file time really that slow as reported?
*
Even though performance in write is big differences on benchmark but in actual use I can't tell the differences.

I use 32 GB iPhone 7 Plus, later switch to 128 GB iPhone 7 Plus.

32 GB just simply too small for me.

Hi, to those ex Android users. I read this thread and notice many of you mentioned your iPhone running much smoother than your previous Android. May I ask did you install a lot of apps on the Android and the same on iPhone?
*
I install more apps & store more data in iPhone 7 Plus now than my ex android phone.

I already use up 100 GB now and still very very smooth.

And as others mentioned not the quantity apps issue but the optimization.

Also sometimes apps in iOS is better done than in android.

For example all the Microsoft apps. I am shock to see the file size differences. For example in iOS, Microsoft PowerPoint is 480 MB but the same app on Android is only 58 MB. Open Microsoft Office documents in iOS is same as in PC.

Weird thing just happened.
IP7+ had bad connectivity so i restarted the phone.
Phone turned off then on again but no apple logo only rotating circular icon, kept waiting but gave up so plugged in a charger and left it.
2-3 min later heard the charging sound, checked and it was finally turned on.
This is my 1st IP n so far my experience is not as all the apple fanboys told me.
Experiencing bad connectivity (data), rare hangs, hot temp (browsing & fb only no charging) and a squeaking sound.

Somebody please tell me ive got a lemon..
Hate to request for an exchange as heard rumors that replacement sets will not be MY set.
*
As per your wished, you got a LEMON UNIT because I also 1st time using iPhone and didn't face any issue you mentioned.

From forumer post, replacement will be most the time refurnish set.

The touch ID on my 7 plus is getting more and more useless. almost 9/10 times it won't recognize my fingerprint properly. Try deleting and re-adding so many times ady, it's still the same. My hands are a little bit sweaty but I never had any problems with my old Nexus 6P.
I'm not the only one facing this problem btw:

This iPhone 7 Plus finger print got one big issue is where it can't have single wet. It won't registered your finger print even when your hand is wet. It needs to be 100% dry. If your hand is always sweaty then you need to always wipe dry before use the finger print else it won't work.

I gonna said the worst ever implement finger print, it is fast and accurate if only your hand is fully dry.

Can you try same finger, but register it multiple times?

I mean, if you do that, will the fingerprint recognition improve during wet or other difficult scenario?

No it won't. It immediately fail once got water on top.

Only happen in this new fingerprint implement at iPhone 7 / 7 Plus.

I agree, it's one of the worst ever fingerprint scanner. My old Nexus 6P is miles more accurate.
Thinking whether should i RMA and get a replacement.
*
No need RMA as it is same for all. This is design flaw issue. You change thousands times also same, once wet or crazy dirt then can't recognized.

My previous 7+ 32GB is like that, my current 7+ 128GB is like that, my sister 7+ 128GB is like that, my friends 7 32GB and 7+ 128GB is like that.

As you know, XiaoMi 5S implement the same Home button (non-clickable) and the fingerprint sensor is also terrible compared the XiaoMi 5 that have clickable home button.

Probably both use the same lousy Qualcomm technology. LOL

I think both using lousy hardware that can't wet. Maybe lo, no idea.
