Just found out another stupid "feature" of iPhone. I know it is for saving battery but at least sometimes let people choose to disable it.

I notice upload photos to iCloud speed is terrible slow and it even stuck for sometimes.
Then I just realize the sync is keep repeating from certain point or upload extremely slow as the WiFi is like cutting off when screen off.

To overcome this issue, the only way I can do (Google also same result) is to let the screen always on but I worried it might burn my screen... Lucky at least got option to repeatedly play few photos in slideshow mode. OMG!  mega_shok.gif

The upload photos to iCloud still slow but at least it is not repeating from certain point or stuck.

Already shared its unifi issue. Use a vpn like operavpn. Try syncing with mobile data? Will eat up data quota so becareful.

Just got my IP7+ for 10 days. As an ex Android user, here are some observations I made during this short period.
1. The phone is really smooth even I did not clear almost 20 apps running in    
    background.However  I still  can't shrug off old habit of clearing background apps
    from time to time.
2. iTunes syncing is not as bad as what I read online. I was surprised to learn you
    can move out files from iPhone without iTunes when using Window 10 PC.
3.  Still automatically look for "Back" button. Some apps either don't have it or I
     am simply clueless. In the end, I had to press home button.
4.  The notification was weird initially but eventually  get used to it.
5.  Night mode is better than what Android apps tried to do.
6.  iBooks selection is quite disappointingly little. I can use Google Play Books to read
     those I bought in Google devices as iOS version doesn't have purchase option.
7.  So far only experience one crash when I was in poor signal area and accidentally
    open an app that require connection.

So far I am satisfied with the phone, looking forward to iOS 11(yeah, no need to wait a long time for an OS update that never arrive).  I think it's worth it if you can get the iPhones in promotion.
*
Yeah now u can enjoy: frequent updates, no battery/data leaks, settings that are obeyed by the os, better security as frequent reports of security issue will be squashed and os updated in 2 weeks time. Smooth, buttery smooth especially 7 plus. It just works, don't have to tinker around feel, well optimized/smooth apps and games for iOS.

U will miss: direct file transfers to pc, customize home screen, the back button, wait for new updates or os version(if any coming at all).

Good trade off?

A little update on the replacement unit I got because of the touch ID problem, the replacement unit start acting bad again. Touch id doesn't work as well as before, previously works 10/10 times, now roughly only about 50% accuracy. Previously when I first got the replacement unit even though fingers are sweaty oso can work, now doesn't work as great anymore.
*
Then I will suggest start monitoring ur thumb skin thinning issue... my mom have the same issue and cannot use Touch ID. When she go scan IC fingerprint machine now, also can no longer match her print in the IC chip.
Can u test use ur non primary hand's finger to unlock instead? Less usage of that finger, the better the test.

I found out that I'm not the only one who got this problem, one guy from amazon left a review saying that this case will leave mark on iphone.

Perhaps it's the neo hybrid series with its special internal rubbers only? I am using ultra hybrid without internal web designs, no issue.

Which spigen case do you use bro?? Is it the one with spider web design at the inner case??

P/s i accidentally dropped my phone from like 2 feet yesterday night  doh.gif But luckily my spigen case saved it from being dented LOL.
*
U don't need the spider web to give good protection. I use ultra hybrid without the internal spider web. No issue. Already saved me a few times from hand level drops.
Most importantly must have air bubble protection in 4 corners, and froont lip must be higher than screen.

I suggest everyone shall upgrade to 10.3, beside space saving. The smoothness is huge improvement.

Finally everywhere is very smooth especially they fix the recent apps scrolling smoothness.
*
U beat me to this. I was about to share the same.

This new version bring smoothness to whole new level. Can't imagine a new file system can bring so much huge improvement.
Beware though, on my 7+ it took 20 mins for the update (after download completed). They have to repatition there whole ssd.

This file system is fully optmized for mobile phone ram. Love it! Now let's see how android copy this apple proprietary file system.

Upgrade definitely taking longer. Smoothness noticeable but I think to those with OCD? My friend doesn't seem to notice at all!!!
*
Not OCD. I think u know after every update, the phone tend to slow down for a few days to perform re-caching? That dreaded experience is also not visible. So we are very sensitive on updates, and many normally complain slowness after updates, due to that caching reason.

Really surprised no such issue this time. (We were actually expecting that for every update). APFS FTW!!!

For those who still haven't update even though ppl here say how fast is it, here is another reason to update:

http://iphone.appleinsider.com/articles/17...ailable-storage

Want to free up to another 7.5gb?

APFS FTW!!

And these are the security patches it never broadcast:
https://support.apple.com/en-my/HT207617

Every update patches security holes. Even jail breakers giving up.

iOS 10.3 is the most error free stable minor version revision ever. It used to be having an increment version to fix something introduced. (10.3.1 exm)

And this includes AFS!!! There's hope

Don't speak too soon ya.
10.3.2 beta already out for developer testing 😅

Haha... it probably "feels" snappier because the animations was tweaked... not because of the new file system.

The article did say the file system does generally speed things up.

Haha! They documented my issue which is now fixed :

Uhm, don't use it. No wonder didn't notice.
i blame @Andrewtst for shouting iOS 10.3 upgraded and good stuff. I saw it, just tap on upgrade. Didn't capture any before and after stuff.... Anyone else did it? Probably need some samples for 32GB?, 128GB, 256GB...
rclxm9.gif  mega_shok.gif new minor revisions are expected, but still no major issues faced in 10.3, pretty stable and solid release. iOS 8, 9 minor revisions introduce new bugs instead.
U sir, use a lot of features and notice a lot of stuff.. kudos!!! Maybe I'm just lazy, not bothered like before. Just want a stable phone, get to my apps and get stuff done.

U sir, are getting old!
Me too! Old folks tend to stick to "use it as expected and don't bother me" OS biggrin.gif

Samsung price sure not that high lo. Still thinking on that.

Bro, really agree with ur posting on 7 points why Sammy is still not selling out.
Better wait la. Don't be the guinea pig. U know how long time and hard they get refund for the Note fiasco?
Let others test out first then decide. Furthermore u already included in r post how bad the price will drop after few months, especially when ip8 anniversary edition rolls out.

Ya I do frequent Sammy threads, was from Sammy jumped ship mah. No doubt their hardware design is sleekest and best. Just can't stand their crappy software team. External design syok for 1 month only, will get bored. OS functionality and support impacts u a lifetime of the phone.
