ChezGiven 0 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) The Guardian are noted Apple fan boys, so when the headline of their iPhone 7S review is "2014 called, it wants its phablet back", you know that this is NOT a good phone. Did you get over excited about this and not notice it was a review of the 7 Plus, not the 7S? Best review of the 7 has to be 'doesnt blow up'.

Renton 21597 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Only in a very strange world where directly competing products in an intensely competitive market arent relevant to each other It's a technical issue which won't affect a purchaser today though, so I don't see the relevance personally. The 787 had significant battery issues when it first flew, potentially lethal ones. I take it you would still fly on one today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21597 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Was it underwhelming? I don't think anyone expected much from it. And yet people are literally queuing to buy it? Think that was Gemmill's point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy one today and get on a plane tomorrow, everyone else will be listening to music, playing games, watching vids and you'll be reading the in-flight magazine.

Happy Face 29 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Every electronics company releases new models of TV, PC, stereo and kettle every year, but no-one feels the need to replace them every year. It's only as underwhelming as the latest model of toaster that Morphy Richards have released. Mobiles have gone through a decade of massive advances so early adoption of each iteration has been attractive to anyone who fancies themselves in any way tech savvy. That's not the case now. My current phone model came out two and a half years ago and there's still nothing I feel I'm missing from the functionality or jealous of any other phone owner for. Self-driving cars are the where the future over-whelming advances are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what Gemmill's point was as the phone was released over two weeks ago. No one was queuing for it this weekend. Of course there will still be fan boys but no one was really expecting any massive leap forward with this phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just read a physical book Tbh. But anyway, the ban will just be temporary and how it can it be enforced anyway? Point is it's not really a design fault of the phone, just a faulty component.

He's made a bit of a tit of himself with all this fuss over a phone released 2 weeks ago and hallucinating queues outside of retail stores.

Newer models don't give me any extra functionality I need. So I'm keeping mine for at least another year or until the battery is fucked. The 20 quid a month I'll save will be handy in the meantime.

I bought the newer model last year, spent a week with it and couldn't see any benefit. I sold the newer one rather than the older one as I got all my money back that way.
