[Official] iPhone 7 (Plus) Discussions

[Andrewtst]

Yea.. I not used to using iPhone 7 Plus for now.. cause of its home button and iOS 10.. very used to iPhone 6s Plus and iOS 9..

That's why I don't wanna upgrade on older device

The new home button can be said nearly everybody dislike it when first touch but extremely like it after using it. It is a great move by Apple using haptic Homer button.

For iOS wise, not really big different beside the slide to unlock where most people prefer it but I believe majority using finger print to unlocked, so it is not an issue.

I think mobileswop doesn't cover repair they cover missing phones?

Apple Care+ on the other hand covers subsidise repair cost for damages to your phone. And also extends the base warranty by another year.

nope, it the same as applecare basically. Also 2 yrs contract, but u can cancel anytime u like.
But mobileswop include lost phone which apple care don't. other then that everything same.

I used mobileswop before, and they deliver the phone to my phone and did a one to one replacement. i rem i requested change from gold iphone 6+ to a space grey due to dent. Of cos i need to pay 150$ for the one to one replace due to cosmetic. Repair or any other shd be free

I still used slide to unlock for my iPhone 6s Plus with iOS 9..
Now using iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 10, the new home button not really used to it but now getting hang of it already.

Pending??
Did you make the payment?? After the diagnosis they will send u a email to make payment and once payment is made , you will receive one more email to inform you of the successful payment and the device is now protected under the support agreement (agreement ID will be stated in the email).
Once u have that email , the device is protected under AppleCare plus protection plan.

Hello all, just a quick question:

whats the difference between applecare and the mobileswop that singtel offers?

i see people who got applecare using their new phones without any form of protection. Does applecare allow you to get it exchanged 1-1 with no qns asked?


just got my iphone 7+ today and slapped a cheap TG on. im now contemplating on whether to get applecare or buy all the necessary and proper protections

sorry ah i noob.

Now back to IOS after an android stint for a month.

now missing samsung pay (citibank) and ezlink nfc sim on apple.

i just changed from note 5 to ip7 plus. i must say my experience with it is super good. battery life way defeats note 5 due to optimisation of the OS. still loving the idle battery drain of the iphone also the fluidity of the overall OS experience.

 

[Eidekos]

thats true, fluidity is topnotch. been using it for years, maybe ecosystem is key also i have mbp and mb12, ipad..

thought will be swayed longer by android but cant resist the itch haha now back to ip7plus eventho i used a 6s+ before

yea... precisely... i am on android but i always feel the itch to change to ip7+
cant tahan in the end so i have gotten a ip7+

Battery life is top notch, can last me 2 days while my note 5 only last me 1 day at most, sometimes 1 day i have to charge twice

 

[KeYoKe]

ok, maybe i should phrase it as low idle battery drain. overnite only drain 1% at most, sometimes 0%

 

[manofsorrows]

yes i agree... made the switch from ip7 --> ip7+
the battery is good... but hor the charging time is long hor... as in for it to move 1% on the ip7 vs on the ip7+

I switched from 6s Plus to 7 Plus, never regretted it. Battery last longer as promised,

Monday night charged, yesterday play game and watch show in the night, then this morning on my way to work play game, now still left 40%. not bad, somemore my whatsapp got spammed yesterday.

if im on my 6s Plus, I think battery already dead or 10%+ left.

background:

sharing about my current phone . iphone 6s plus 64gb. been with me less than a year. love the battery life , and fluid flow of operations. i would say it's a reliable workhorse and a good photographer.

of late , i have updated to ios 10.1.1 from ios9.3 .

definitely enjoy the refresh look and the way apps fire on and off. seems like they fire up faster . but down part is battery life is draining like mad.

what's new?

so my new company has a scheme whereby it co-pay for staff a new phone every few years. i'm contemplating should i take this opportunity to change to iphone 7+?

is the new 7+ really much better than the 6s +?
