Anyone else think the haptic Home button is a bit weird-feeling? I played with the 7 at the Apple Store this weekend and couldn't find a setting that was anywhere close to how the button on the 6S feels. It's probably something one can get used to, but still.

My dad ordered the 7 (switching from a 5S) so wonder how he'll like the new home button. |

I originally was going to get a standard 7 128 gigabyte in jet black, but moved to space grey

I also played with the 7 and the home button did indeed feel a little weird but if I'd switch from my 6S Plus I could get used to it. It sort of is like when Apple changed the trackpad in the MacBook Pros and that also provided haptic feedback but when I tried it, it felt almost the same as the older track pads.

No problem with the new button. Also you can change the feel a little bit in the settings. My wife's 5s died and she isn't into phones. She told me to take the 7 and give her my 6. I wasn't ready to upgrade, but notice that my 7+ is faster, I like the camera, VOIP Over LTE is a even better, and battery life seems a bit better than my 6 with a Mophie case case (but I can't make it a full day even with a complete rebuild -- not a restoration of a backup).

The lack of headphone is what bothers me more. I have an old car and connect my phone to listen to music through a cassette adapter (yes my vehicle is a 2003!). Eventually I just left the headphone adapter in my car, and have ordered a few extra through Amazon (Target sells them for $10). |

I agree. I got the iPhone 7 about a week after release (my 5S fell in the pool before swim workout). After maybe 2-3 days I was fine with the button.

Well i just returned my Galaxy Note 7 that i bought through Samsung.com today.
I'm jumping the ship from Android to iOS... Will buy a matte black (female here) iPhone Plus 7 256gb... Was looking at the Jet black, really like it. But it even comes with scratches right out of the box, so i'm going with the matte black. Might pair it with a black Apple Watch in the future. I also really liked the silver, but the apple logo is a bit too reflective on the silver and i consume media might get the black bezels. Waiting for the unlocked version to be available to order my phone. This is very strange, i am 100% pure android fan and .. i cannot take the Note 7 incident so i'm going to abandon Samsung. BETRAYAL! BTW- I think the next hot color will be white, and that Apple will release a ceramic white iPhone in the future. That would look amazing, if only silver or white phone with a black front. |

Or, you could try to do this lifehack for a wireless connection.
I've actually used my phone via Bluetooth in some rental cars, and a friend's car. I think the sound quality through the cassette adapter is actually better, but that's just my opinion. Eventually I'll get a new car, that probably won't have a cassette player, and I'll have to give in. |

What carrier? Verizon phones come unlocked.
So i'm just crossing my fingers for the factory unlocked version. Sounds reasonable? Or any other ideas? |
Received my iPhone7 today and initial quick reviews after having it for a couple hours.
-The new home button is terrible. It feels terrible and the idea of it is terrible. I'm sure you just get used to it but the initial feel is a huge turn off -The lightning to aux adapter was clearly a last minute thought and it's a cheap piece of crap. They can't make the charging cables last this thing won't last at all. -Camera... not sure it is better. At all. |
I love mine. No complaints at all.
