hows the sound quality for the bryon bt and bta? considering between these , airpod, beats x or the bose soundsport wireless
depends on what color is your device.

if jet black, super hard as most of the clear cases will have watermark, unless you get those with dotted design at the back, which is
1. ringke air
2. spigen liquid crystal
(both similar, but ringke is slightly cheaper if i'm not wrong)
3. switcheasy iglass case, the only case which compatible with jet black and will not cause watermarking. can ask for nanamizuki for some pics as he owns it with the jet black
black -
same as above cases are recommended, if you want something stronger, go for
1. otterbox symmetry clear series, they have clear clear and clear black
2. ringke fusion
3. spigen ultra hybrid 2, not sure if malaysia has it yet
4. switcheasy iglass case
5. vrs design crystal mixx
6. vrs design crysal bumper
*
So far so good for me the Byron BTA. BT and BTA slightly performance quality difference. For me haven't try out airpod and beatsX or bose wireles.. However Byron BT/BTA wires length are shorten than beatsX.. I would like to try out beatsX one day smile.gif

But if Tm is having normal connection speeds with Apple servers, then better to disconnect VPN and download directly.

Speck cases do not ship to Malaysia directly if order from their website. Need to use forwarder.

Finding it difficult to search through past posts.

I have a 7 for one month, and already into my third screen protector, had both normal and full screen types.

Is there any full screen protector that can provide full cover at the edges without lifting slightly off the screen? I think the screen is slight curved at the two side edges.
*
Lifting off the screen slightly as in the sides not stocking properly? All 3 screen protectors also having provlems at the sides?

My 2nd review of iPhone 7 Plus after 3 months 20 days of usage.

user posted image

What I like
  • Design & Build - Very solid and elegance.
  • Screen & Quality - Even though it is not SAMOLED but it is a very high quality great color reproduction LCD. The screen is very very very nice! The nicest I ever own for LCD which I said it is as good as Samsung SAMOLED display.
  • App Store - Every time when I think of something I want for, I sure can get it by searching on it. Nearly all the apps is very well build and the interface is solid and nice looking. Also the App Store is changing quality apps display every week with one free apps of the week. This never happen in Android and Android keep showing same or no quality apps in main page which make people feel like Playstore is less apps but actually it is not, just Google dunno how to promote apps like what Apple did.
  • Apps & Games - Some same apps in iOS is better build than in Android. As for gaming experience, iOS is far ahead, much smoother and certain apps is much nicer look.
  • Music - I really love Apple Music, no regret sign up and will continue the subscription. For Android user can just subscribe to Spotify which have same service and same price. In this part I find both is same win.
  • Camera - The camera is very awesome output with very fast focus.
  • Apps Interface - iOS interface is well done and you can't find any glitch on it, it is very well build, every part is well design, all icons & interface had a standard control in high quality, not like Android certain apps icon is very bad build and seems no control on it.
  • Gesture - Seems not much people talk on the gesture function in iOS, it is actually very well done where make you easier to go back or forward by swiping in nearly all apps. Swipe down to minimize the video or photo view in the apps. Also the double tab to go top is very useful. I give big thumbs on this small design gesture.
What I Dislike
  • Fingerprint - The worst fingerprint I ever use! Slightly dirt or wet will make it totally not functioning. Even though it recognition is very fast but this cannot handle when dirt or wet make it the worst fingerprint in mobile on earth!
  • Photos - The worst photo album I ever use, please don't improving those tag, not much people actually use it. The basic create album folder also don't have, all create folder is just simply a shortcut, very annoying everything still appear at Camera Roll.
  • Music - I like it but also dislike it, the stability on this apps is bad, it keep FC when you browse a lot of Apple Music to find new song. (still happen like this even on latest iOS).
  • Stability - Certain apps can make the phone not ring when people calling, sometimes the sound became distortion when notification coming in during you listen to Music, certain apps sometimes the update unstop and keep update, the only way to stop it is remove the apps and re-install back, certain apps just FC after install or during the halfway usage and etc. Even though it is not much happening but it is there. I actually found Android is much more stable and less issue now, at least in my last few Android phones I don't find single issue or FC at all.
  • App Store - I love it but also hate it, why Apple restricted apps to be download if more than 300 MB by using Mobile Data (it mentioned 100 MB but actually is around 300 MB). This is very very stupid, I know the good point of restricted it but at least it shall let user enable it.
  • Apps Interface - Apple is well control on fragmentation and quality control but why they is still have apps not optimize for high resolution. Those apps shall be removed and forced developer update it.
  • Camera - the second camera boots up too much ISO and make the photo output very bad most the time. Also why still no wide mode. I know can use third party apps but I prefer original stock have it.
What I find it not that useful
  • Force Touch (the hardware) - This just make finger paint and use more energy, I don't see any different than using press and hold to activate the same function. This hardware is extremely unnecessary. (the function itself is great but the way to activate it is not).
  • Widget Page - This page I put there for fun and never use it, it is like kindergarten job when compare with Android widget which not only can make your home screen unique and nice but also functional to be home page.
What Stock App I don't use
  • Safari - The page scrolling is too slow. I prefer Chrome as it scroll fast not page by page.
  • Stock Keyboard - I no longer use type since 5 or 6 years ago. Is time implement swipe. Lucky got Gboard else I will be stuck in typing.
What I wish in future iOS update & next iPhone
  • Swipe function - This shall be an option in stock keyboard.
  • Themes - Is time to implement, at least let user theme the icon.
  • Edge to Edge - Is time use edge to edge display, reduce the top and bottom bezel.
  • No home button - I really hope the rumors is true, remove the home button and implement the Touch Bar.
  • Design - Is time to give iPhone a new look
What will be my next future mobile phone - Definitely the next iPhone. biggrin.gif

Normally I don't read long post, but I do read it all nicely till end. Should've put some TLDR note in the end of your review.
Some restriction you've mentioned, actually the reason why Android user love IOS in the end.

I disagree with you on the fingerprint scanner. The fingerprint scanner is working perfectly.
If your thumb has dirt on it, the scanner tries to match it with the image you supplied during setup, it doesn't match, so it is rejecting the access. In this instance you are blaming the iPhone thumb scanner is not working.
I say the security is very good.
Same for wet fingers. You know that water can change the view of an object, causing the image to be distorted. This image will be slightly different from the original the iPhone has and thus, it will not allow access.

I agree with your comments completely. If I can add, it actually requires some practice and getting used to before perfecting the art of doing it right. Making a sweeping statement to condem something is someone's way of venting their frustration when things do not turn out right is an age old malaise.

I also agree with u. In fact I raise concern on those fingerprint scanner that can still work if hand wet. How secure really is their security system? Even distorted print image also allow to pass.

Thanks for the sharing and the writing. I always like to read such long and detail sharing. Your sharing is a good reference for Android users who are considering the switch. I fully agree with you that they should remove the home button and add themes especially free themes like those on Huawei phones. The notification could use some modification, personally I prefer Android notification. Since I am not in a rush, I am taking my friends' advice on waiting for this year Iphone. However rumors say that the price could be at least USD 1000 and that is really a premium price to pay.
