Lifting off the screen slightly as in the sides not stocking properly? All 3 screen protectors also having provlems at the sides?

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.
The thumb scanner is setup as a security access to the iPhone.

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.

i dont use wet/dirt hand to unlock, i truly understand how a fingerprint sensor should be use on
but from most feedbacks, some claimed other android phone can unlock with wet/dirt finger thats the reason why they fxxx Touch ID lol

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.

And you're gonna use all that? I only keep the most used app on my phone, others will redownload when needed.

Actually iphone 7 fingerprint recognition easily loses out to say e.g. Mate9, one plus 3t. It is isn't that great as so many users think. Another point most high end Androids are equally if not even better in smoothness.

At this point in time I personally feel that fingerprint sensor on a phone is merely for convenience purpose and not security purpose as it honestly doesn't add much security function to a phone because it can still use passcode to unlock anyways.
With that said, the FP sensor on the 7+ is terrible and even a bit wet (just a bit) it would render the FP sensor useless cuz the sensor becomes moist. I tried same finger with iPhone 6 oso work better. The FP sensor on 7 plus is honestly one of the worst I've used on a phone, not convenient at all.

My friend dump my phone into a ice bucket yesterday and today my phone keep on restarting. I have pull it out immediately after he throw in. Now my phone is in my rice bowl. Hope it will recover after tomorrow. Is this consider warranty void? Anyone experience this before?

If it spoil, ask your friend paid for it. Ice is different, way too cool and will generate water inside.

This going to be a troublesome day. I think I pull it out within 5 seconds. According to apple we should not charge the phone within 5hrs which I didn't too. Just pray when it's out tomorrow it may back to normal. I can still see some minor water mark inside the screen.

water damage is not cover for iPhone 7/7+
there is a liquid contact indicator inside all iPhone models, refer here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204104
if this thing does not change color, when you send in for warranty, then nobody can tell your phone get water damage before

Yup, but some members here said not that good recognition is security purpose... really speechless...
Totally agree with you. Fingerprint is more on convenient than security. Without that fingerprint, it still can unlocked by security code.
Actually anything can online, nothing is fully secure anymore.

Want fully secure use back non smartphone or specific design phone for full secured.

Don't know consider lucky or not, I just did a check and confirm that it's still silver colour. Any advised?

The screen when boot up right bottom corner still have water mark.

Could it be the phone catch cold.. need to get him a blanket and flu medicine... 

yours is not 7/7+?? less than 5 seconds got water mark inside screen 

just few seconds  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i2J0Qk3x3M
ask your friend to buy your phone and get a new one
