I haven't updated iTunes in a year because I'm afraid they'll make it even more frustrating to use if not downright retarded. Looks like I made the right choice.

I just went to download some music on my 7 and put the back to my ear out of curiosity and heard the whine. I don't know if it's a big deal or not.

I'm still not sure if I want to try and swap up to a 7+ for the extra battery life and camera. Even if I did, stock aside, is it a pain in the rear end to switch models you paid for with IUP? I assume you just pay a difference if there is any. I still like the 6/7 size overall and every time I pick up a plus it still seems kind of obnoxious and I don't know if I'd get used to it.

The only thing I've noticed with having the 7+ is that it's not so easy to take in and out of your pocket. When I'm sitting down I have to either stand up and take it out or do this awkward lean back and pull it out that way. Other than that, I love how obnoxiously large it is, I spend so much time looking at the drat thing that I may as well have a bigger screen to do it.

Man, this Apple Store leather case looks and feels nice. But hot drat it's slippery. There a better case that has more grip? I'm not trying to break my screen.

Mine was super slippery when I got it, but after a week it's gotten a bit grippier. I expect given more time it'll feel better.

I've had nothing but problems with iOS 10 so far.

When I first tried to update my 6s I had to use iTunes as I wasn't getting the OTA option at all. I had various issues, apparently I haven't got the right permissions to download the os through iTunes (even after it spent 20 mins downloading it). Eventually I got it to download and it aborted the update 3 times before finally working.

I've been having battery issues since then, my phone is running down way faster than normal. I'm also getting random vibrations when locking the phone. So, I thought I'd update to 10.0.2, backup, then restore from the backup as I read this can help. However, I'm having the same issues as before: no option for OTA update and being unable to upgrade over iTunes. What gives?

I'm running Win7 and have opened iTunes with admin privileges so am not sure what else I can do.

Really, bitch?

Do people walk around with their hands constantly covered in bacon grease or something? My 6s was in the apple leather case, and I'm currently going caseless on my 7+, I wouldn't classify either as "slippery".

This applies to anything apart from concert/game tickets. Basically if you preorder for something that isn't a quantity/time-specific thing you're crazy imo

I liked being able to quickly flip it up outta the way. I'm on my 5S so now I have to physically touch the bubble-notification to push it away. Haven't had any 3D Touch experiences yet.

Thinking of skipping AppleCare+ this go around after 2 generations of iPhones with no real problems outside of stuff that was found during the first year of ownership. Does anyone know if iPhones purchased with a Mastercard with extended warranty works with device payment plan phones (in my case, Verizon's, because of their really good trade in deal)?

I have precisely zero problems with it.

But then, I use it only as a PC music player, not in any way to manage my iPhone, because lol

Actually I take that back, I did have one problem in that iTunes Home Sharing would just flake out pretty often when I wanted to access my library over my ATV. Fortunately, I can just access my iCloud Music Library instead, so I just do that now.

Noticing very poor voice performance on calls with the 7+. It's to the point where we're using our land line more because people can't understand us on our 7+'s, any suggestions or tweaks or is this a design issue? I can't see how both my wife and I would have gotten a bad phone.

Believe you have to press the View button to get more actions. That's what I've been doing with text messages and reminders.
