What was your last phone again? Nokia? You only upgraded so the side of your phone could have glitter sparkling all day, fit for a princess.

well my 7 came, got it all working last night
first impressions
like the fact that i type what i press, the kebords better
dislike the lack of back button, the fact you cant place icons where u want them
the home button is vwry different with that strange touch thing.
screens a tad smaller than the s6 but not much.
will play more once my number goes across.
id lost all my itunes purchase, but quick online chat to apple and they were all back

A dedicated back button does simplify things, try swiping from off the screen left to right, works for most things I do.
Make sure you sign up to iCloud if you haven't already.
TouchID is great, get Apple Pay up and running.

I am not a whiney tit, the whole thing Jack is that Apple are not any better or worse than any other products or devices and in most cases they are over priced for what you get and the owners for some reason or another are hooked into believing they are superior over others.
You cleary tick all the boxes in this aspect as can be aptly demonstrated in your rambling posts here.
I could go on about Apple for another year but you still wont get it so just let me post this up.
Non fanboys will get it so dont worry too much about it.

another example of how fanboys are taken for a ride here.
Apple dont want standard Qualcomm fast charge as everyone else uses it, no profit for the snakes in cupertino.

Apple locks down all is charging protocol to further restrict fanboys like yourself into buying Apple original accessories, you are just too dumb to realise - there is a reason Apple are rich.
You can charge up any Android device with any charger you get on amazon / ebay and contrary to Jacks belief here not all of them have fake CE marks and compliance certification.
The S7 edge has a very cool night mode also Jack and you can charge it with any wireless charger that you wish, it also is very shiney indeed as bioforger has said.
you could probably use it as a mirror when you are polishing your **** for your next outing in fact.

Macolyte
Do you know what a Macolyte is? These are people who believe everything with an Apple logo on it is the best thing ever. They are the people who say to Apple “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!” If Apple sold a robot that punched you in the face every day, the Macolytes would buy it and swear it was awesome. They are not rational. They will go to the streets and protest the evils of big business while using their iPhones — which is made by one of the biggest businesses in the world and has one of the largest markups of any product on the market — and not see the disconnect. I say that businesses don’t deserve your loyalty, make them earn your business. You should apply that rule to me too, make me earn your business. Not every person who uses Apple products is a Macolyte, in fact the majority are not.
I like Samsung products but have no problem slating them like I have done on the Note 7, nor am I opposed to buying other products from different manufacturers. I dont need to complete my life with an array of Samsung watches, laptops, VR gear nonsense, tablets or whatnot.

agree my ipad 2 is hurrnedosly slow,
i have a samsung tablet that replaced the the ipad2 is the little lads now,
so far the iphone/s6 for me is not much different in all honesty, i think the apple just does things nicer. while the s6 has more customisation,

iPad 2 is just about end of life, but at five and a half years is the longest supported device of it's kind, beats all the iPhones too I think. My old Mum still gets by on mine, I was glad to get an Air 2 which I hope lasts just as long.

I think the early iPads were a league above other tablets of the time, but I dunno how they compare now.
I only really use it for BBC news app while eating breakfast or watching Youtube when having a dump
so not really in the market for a replacement!

It's still good for that, but does weigh a ton. I know the lower end jobs like the Hudl work OK for a good while, not spectacular but get the job done for most people and not such a big deal when your cat ****s on it.
I found the first game that can slow mine down, Asphalt Xtreme, it's only when you're really going some but even normal use gets it hot.

Read an article in the sun today about a dude who dropped his iPhone in an icy lake and thought it had gone forever. Then a guy found it 18mths later with his metal detector, and after plugging it back in, it came straight back on and worked as it had done before.

After discount too on the 7 it turns out this doesn't work either! It does look like it is a conflict, maybe an app rather than the phone or settings now though. I'll need to start the slow process of deleting pages of apps and putting them back on to attempt to eliminate the problem.

Just returned my 6S Plus after 13 months for a full refund. Custom text tones from an Android device would not work, always reverting to default. They worked fine on the 6S though.

I've spent months in direct contact with Apple's so called engineers and the last update was one they had hoped would fix my issue amongst others.
When they offered a full refund I was going to jump ship but then they offered discount for the 7 too. I was assuming it would work like the 6S does and as Apple concluded, it might be a Plus issue only. Yes they'd take the 7 back and I could buy something else which might happen if it isn't sorted. For now though, I do believe it isn't an Apple issue but an app conflict problem.
Maybe someone with an iPhone 7 here could test theirs for me. Assign a friend with an Android phone a different text tone and see if it plays when they text.
