Has anyone tried the multi-lingual keyboard stuff in iOS 10 yet? Does it work with languages with different writing systems?

Don't know about systems but I'm enjoying being able to type in Spanglish and have the keyboard pick up on it pretty effortlessly.

Any reviewers that held the new 7 comment on the slipperiness of it? Did they change it from the 6? Considering going caseless with the AUP but don't want slipperiness to be a problem.

Huh, the fine print also mentions some trade in value for Android phones. I wonder if they'd take both my 6S and HTC One M7 for a total of $750... Really tempting.

Nice. I hope it works just as well with German and English. That's the one thing I miss most when not using SwiftKey.

Some upgrade plan info:

"Easiest" way (if you live near an Apple Store) to do upgrade program by the way is to purchase the phone outright for any carrier (Except I think Sprint?) and then bring it to the Apple Store (or buy it right at the store) and have them return it and resell it to you on upgrade program. This helps you get around the whole "Oh we only sell these phones over here for AT&T and these ones over here for Verizon" bullshit.

My iPhone is a Verizon phone but I'm on AT&T and actually signed up for the plan while on T-Mobile. You can move around as much as you want once you get the phone.

It's the same size as the 6S/6 with the exception of an even larger camera bump for both the 7 and 7+ (7 gets OIS, 7+ the dual camera lenses). Gruber posted last night that the jet black finishing isn't more slippery than the other style; if anything it's more grippy (as you get fingerprints all over your glossy surface).

How long until the next rumour mill so I can get excited about the iPhone 7S (still thinking they might mark the 10th anniversary with a rename to Apple Phone or at least something that isn't an S name)?

7s is going to eliminate the dock connector. Also speakers, to charge or hear anything you'll need W1 certified peripherals.

Why can't I pre-order an unlocked, SIM-free 7? Do I have to wait until the actual release to do that or what

Just replace my actual eardrums with W1 chips.

Don't be sad that I am gone.
It's worth noting that doing AUP again requires an additional credit pull. Hard pulls, such as this one, stay on your account for around two years. As hosed up as it is, you can only have about 3 credit pulls on your credit report before you're "dinged" (more like a dong). So if you're thinking about buying something big that is credit related, you might want to keep this in mind.

I decided to check out the delivery dates when upgrading through ATT this morning and they quoted the matte black 128gb 7+ as shipping between Sept 23-30 as compared to the order I made through Apple that said between October 4-10. I went ahead and cancelled my order through Apple and am excited it will arrive a week earlier.

If you have ATT it may be worth it to check that out instead. I think the Rose Gold 128's were still showing September 16 hard date so if you don't mind the pink phone and white face, that's a good choice.

I ranted here about how cases are stupid and then I broke my screen so I called myself stupid and bought Saddle Brown.

Then I started a new job, and I was in a meeting, and my boss puts his iPhone on the table at the same time as me. Saddle Brown. We exchanged knowing looks. I can get away with anything now.

Hey so I wasn't paying attention to "getting on ios10 early" because I was going to save my "FULL EXPERIENCE" for when I received my new iPhone next week. But now that my 7+ isn't coming for a few weeks, I kinda wanna tinker with iOS10 now. I read a bit about 10.0.1 throwing a kink in that.

Is there ANY way, without serious hurdles or costing me developer program money, I can get on the GM release today?

https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/4q3f47/official_ota_update_profile_for_ios_betas/

Just go there on your phone's browser, install the profile, restart, and you'll get the software update OTA. Nice and painless.

E: Apple had a public beta program this year too that's open to whoever if you want to sign up here it just takes more steps to get to the profile installed this way https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

no, and I can tell you as someone with the GM that you're not missing anything. None of the cool features like the messaging changes and such are useful until it's released to the public at large

Yes, by removing the profile (that you download to get the beta) it will have you "update" back to iOS 9.

Buy whatever the cheapest glass protector there is that is "2.5d" (means it has rounded edges)
