Clue: Zero

Those of you with these third party bluetooth thingers, does your music automatically start playing when your phone connects to it? On my Prius factory stereo, it seems completely random as to whether or not Spotify will start playing when it connects and in the five years I've had this car, across multiple iPhones. I've never been able to figure out why that is.

The Prius both connects and sends a play message if the stereo is on. Whether that plays anything depends on whether the app that was last playing is still in memory. Most headphones I've worked with don't auto send a play message; if audio is already playing it'll switch from speaker/other Bluetooth to the just connected headphones and continue playing, otherwise it'll redirect any audio to the headphones and wait for you l some app to play.

Yeah same here. I mean they are both gonna look great in the saddle brown case but with the decrease in screen replacement cost I may just go caseless and live on the edge.

It really makes me wonder what the motive is for the decreased screen replacement costs. Is it possible Apple was like "ya'know, it's kind of hosed we make such great looking devices but people wrap 'em in all kinds of gaudy rear end cases because if you look at them wrong they shatter and it's expensive to fix."

...Or what. Seems like there's little reason to reduce the price of that so significantly when they've totally got you by the balls when your screen cracks.

I always go caseless so I'm a bit worried about damage to the jet black but I don't remember my old glossy iPhone backs really having a problem, so I'm leaning jet.

Jet seems really cool because it's reminiscent of the old 3G which was my first iPhone, but I have the feeling it'll scuff/smudge a lot easier. Also I have the feeling it's going to be the defacto "space gray / most popular" version so if you wanna be a special snowflake I'd probably go matte.

I think it'll be just the opposite. People are going t freak out about the jet black possibly showing scuffs and will default to the matte.

So in speed tests the iPhone 6s lapped the Note 7 and Edge, surely the iPhone 7 laps it two or probably three times? Can't wait

:siren: For those not looking to take advantage of the Verizon trade-in deal (since apparently annual upgraders like me would forfeit half of the $650 credit), the My Verizon iOS app will already let you place preorders - all you have to do is go through the upgrade process as normal, and when selecting the new device press the search (magnifying glass) button. If you type in 'iPhone 7' or 'iPhone 7+' it will link you to the product page and let you proceed to checkout. :siren:

I'm going caseless with Jet Black - figure I'll be returning it 12 months later for the next iphone anyway.

Read that the jet black one is more comfortable to hold as well.

Following these instructions didn't work on my verizon account, it would just link me to a page telling me the iPhone 7 was available at 12:01AM PST.

For those going through the apple website, is it just a case of spamming refresh on the store link (http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/goto/iphone_7/select)?

I remember in the past using the Apple Store app on an iOS device was a better way of getting pre-orders without problems, but this was like 3 phone iterations ago and I honestly don't think these things sell out for at least a few hours anymore.

Somewhere between going to bed last night and waking up this morning, I've moved from "I want this" to "Ehhh, should I wait for the next one - is the camera on the 7 gonna be that much better than the 6?"

I wish I was better at making decisions.

Do you think the next iPad is going to follow suit, or am I crazy? Honestly I have no idea how analogous tablets are to phones, but it'd make sense if you take Apple's wireless vision at face value.

Haha I just realised that because the jack is on the TOP of iPads , if you get rid of the headphone jack and want to use lightning headphones with an iPad you won't be able to stand it upright at all.

It's not even last year's model! It's just a 6 might as well be a flip phone.

I've decided the plus side is too big and dumb for a phone and jet black to be too sexy for actual use (smudges/scratches) so I'm going with a matte black 7 as son as this site lets me.
