[Official] iPhone 7 (Plus) Discussions

[swgj86]

Intel radio modem in our Asian model. Not very good. Heats up easily esp underground in train journeys. Never encountered that for my 6s+ last year.

Mine's under Singtel and depending on location, will sometimes go to 3G and sometimes to 2-3 bars signal. Else, will be full signal strength at 4G.

My only issue with the 7 Plus is that some time (intermittently), there will be no data traffic even though with full signal strength, and have to restart the phone.

just found out that the paint works around my iPhone 7plus's silent switch peeled off. Will likely go down to m1 service centre to take a look next week.. Just to check, anyone has experienced this and what will the service centre do?

cheers

Yeah that's what I read about too and my 6s Plus also doesn't have that issue. How I wish we had the Qualcomm modem but it's not available for our market here.

Oh well, just have to make do with it.

No point going to M1 service centre. They will just turn you away. Head to Apple Authorised Service Centre like A.lab or QCD

Yeah Apple online chat also mentioned it'll probably be classified as cosmetic damage. No harm waiting for official Apple Store to open and then maybe can get a better response. AASPs anything they can siam they sure siam one.

check with you guys, my iphone will drop 10% battery from 12am - 7am even in airplane mode, usage is 13mins / standby is 7hrs. Is it normal ? If it is not in airplane mode it drop around 15% .. I am asking because previously my iphone 6+ when full charged if overnight no use at most drop less than 5%...

Do you have any apps running in the background? I usually close all apps and even with some light usage after charging to full, I usually standby my phone my 11pm to 7:15am, it's still 100%, connected to home wifi.

So it's definitely not normal, unless you've power-hungry apps running in the background.

I also have a somewhat similar problem, but I just plugged it in charger overnight to solve the issue. Lol

I usually charge in office whenever I can haha...unless battery level below 70% then will charge at home and then unplug before sleep and leave it on overnight.

 

[manofsorrows]

even on airplane mode? sounds like a battery/hardware problem...

Might be a battery issue then as originally shouldn't be like that. Is this issue evident right from day one?

What's the difference with the two versions? Intel and Qualcomm modem?

Yeah that's what I read about too and my 6s Plus also doesn't have that issue. How I wish we had the Qualcomm modem but it's not available for our market here.

The Qualcomm modem is only sold in the US market (maybe EU also) and supports just about all LTE bands as compared to Intel one which supports most LTE bands but not as many as Qualcomm's. it's also said to be more stable.
