THE NEW HOME BUTTON IS HORRIBLE!!!

You're still moaning about home buttons!

You'll get used to it.

Have you got one?

Mate all I do is moan. You should know that by now.

 

[dk]

Not yet

26th

You are the first person I've heard moan about it though, most reviews say it's the best new feature.....

 

[withoutabix]

I've got the home button on the lightest setting as the others feel far to clunky to me, didn't expect it to feel so different but compared to my old 6 it does feel some what strange at first. Also seems very sensitive especially if you just want to look at the lock screen for notifications etc

 

[Rob]

Ok, so overall it's nothing ground breaking. Sure, it's fast, but it's basically the same phone as the 2 year old six I had previously.

Camera seems good, home button settings is a nice touch. But it feels NOTHING like a new gen phone, it's just a facelift they stuck a new number on. Bit of a cop out.

FFS Rob, you're not helping with my decision.

 

[Duck Hunt]

I have hel off based on this ,I will keep my phone for 12 months and have the new one next year and hope they do something good .

 

[Rob]

FFS Rob, you're not helping with my decision.

What have you got now? If I had 6S I wouldn't even had considered it. It was only that my contact was up that I bothered to go for it.

I've just spent £45 on a bloody apple leather case. Insane money for a tiny bit of leather. c***s.

 

[Rob]

Anyone got a suggestion on price for a 64GB iPhone 6 in mint condition with box, charger, new headphones, etc etc?

Most recycle places I saw are around the £250 mark

6S plus. Think i'm going to cancel it.

Nice, might put it on here for £280 and see if I get any takers.

6S plus. Think i'm going to cancel it.

Bloody hell, I would. Totally pointless.

You

Lose a headphone jack
Lose a f**k tonne of money

Gain water resistance
Gain a tiny bit of speed
Gain a slightly better camera

 

[Herr Flick]

Just tried. Preparing to process so can't cancel now.
I'm just going to take both of them back when that one arrives.

so you're going to cancel/send back based on one persons opinion?

really????????

its got a much better camera surely (and is only going to get better with a software update soon to give the DOF), and a better screen (better colours), better battery life, water resistance 3D touch (for me anyway), faster, what more do you want from an upgrade, for it to suck you off?

although i do upgrade only every 2 years myself.........

But only a phone person will notice those incremental improvements.......

 

[Herr Flick]

So shut the f**k up then. I upgrade every year but this is the first time I've ever had doubts.

The camera is the only thing it has over my 6S imo. The rest of it doesn't really make me want it.

This is a bigger jump than the 6 to 6s though surely?

It was thicker, heavier, no screen quality upgrade, no increase in battery?

 

[ForceIndia]

It's a really nice phone imo. I'd happily have one.

Maybe it's just because I'm skint lol.
The 6 to 6S I don't think I did. Or maybe it was a 6 to a 6s plus.

 

[Herr Flick]

Does anyone want a 7 in black 128gb for £700 collected???
I really don't want to go into the shopping centre on Monday to return it.
I haven't even opened the brown box the iPhone box comes in.
Luton or St Albans collection.

I know I've said this already but why would they remove the ability to swipe a notification up? Such a silly think to remove.

See you've no idea what I'm in about with the home button.

I have no idea what you're on about with swiping notifications up??

Here is a screenshot I just took.

That notification at the top I can usually swipe up to get rid of it. Now we have to wait for it to disappear.

Get it?

 

[paddymph]

Haha

 

[Euan94]

I'm pretty sure you can still swipe them, you just have to put your finger on the actual notification and swipe from there rather than just swiping up from wherever.

 

[DrR]

I'll make conscious effort to try it next time I get one, but I'm sure I can.

Here you go!

 

[DrR]

Just did it, iMessage swiped away no problem.

I don't use tapatalk, don't really see why anyone would over just going on the cs webpage

You are right. Before I could swipe anywhere. Now I have to physically be touching it. Cheers mate.

 

[Jason_E]

I'm just going to go against the grain here, and be truthful.

I upgraded my 6 to ios10, it made it faster and smoother to use than ever. I was massively impressed. I've had iPhones since the 3G and the rule of thumb is that every update you do makes it a tiny bit slower, after two years its enough to pretty much force you to update. Somehow iOS10 just improved the phone!

Anyway, me being me I still went out and got a 7. Best features so far? (Spent a while dicking about restoring it etc so havent used it that much) probably the combination of the screen waking up without pressing anything, and the new home button. Really love that ! Is a button but isn't, very clever stuff. Also the call quality is a big leap to me? Anyone else notice this?

I don't want to be 'that guy' but mine still seems to swipe up to remove. Unless I'm retarded and slow and just happen to swipe when it auto disappears. Don't discount that theory quickly btw.

Another thing you can't do with notifications is delete emails from the lock screen anymore, which I find very annoying.

Yes you can. 3D Touch to see the email and select delete.

What are people's thoughts on the stereo speakers ?

 

[DrR]

Could someone post any real world pics of the phone?

But I'm not wrong am I? This phone in no way feels like a new model. Just an 's' type upgrade. Especially as he already has an 6S plus!

Totally pointless unless you're a 14 year old on the bus. People who play music, or sound in general, from their phone make me want to rip my ears off just to beat them with.

Very loud.

 

[Euan94]

Has anyone else noticed with IOS10 that it now takes a few seconds for an email to register that you've looked at it. Really annoying that I now have to linger on an email to get rid of the notification
