Hmmm so I just got back from the Apple Store in SF. 
and saw the 7 in jet black. 
not as pretty as I thought it would be. Also damn all the models were heavily smudged up and scratched as well.
glad I got black.
ohh and they didnt have a jet black 7 plus on display because it's too popular.

Yea the haptic feedback on the 7 Plus home button, didn't quite feel THAT realistic enough for me. But I'm sure it takes some getting used to.
However for me, the 7 felt a little more realistic.

Someone outline the differences between the 6 and 6plus other than size. I broke my screen last week. Just got it fixed and was speaking to a girl from verizon. My upgrade isn't ready until December but she said she'd hook me up.
Offered me iphone 6 for .99 or 6plus 32g for 99.00.

Would you then be able to trade in iPhone 6 you paid $0.99 for and get a free upgrade to iPhone 7? I believe they're still running that promo.

'BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE' Clueless iPhone 7 owners tricked into DRILLING hole in their phones to ‘get a headphone jack’
A fake YouTube video claiming to show users how to get the much-missed sound input has gone viral - with many unknowing victims following its lead
Owners have copied the video’s instructions to place the phone in a clamp and take a 3.5mm drill to where the headphone hole used to be.
Needless to say drilling a hole into your iPhone will leave you with a very broken handset – and not the promised addition.
Apple’s newest model has ditched the jack in favour of bluetooth headphones to make more room for internal hardware.
But customers have been left angry at the decision – with some taking extreme measures to bring back the old hole.
As a result some desperate viewers were duped into destroying their new handsets with the cruel DIY tip.
Furious James Ceja commented on the video: “I tried this and ended up with display destruction and it not working… I really committed the biggest mistake of my life by watching this video.”
David Iriarte added: “A friend of mine told me it worked for him, but my iPhone won’t turn on after I drilled the hole for the jack.
“I checked and it was the 3.5mm drill, so I made no mistake there! What happened? Any of you have the same problem?”
Toekneechair questioned: “Ok I am sure it’s in the comments somewhere but my friend told me to ask what size drill bit am I supposed to use?
“Also I don’t have that clamp thingy, can I or my friend hold it while we drill? I don’t want to ruin my phone.
“Thanks for all the help guys…”
Instead of rushing to help the clueless users, cruel commenters have instead tricked them with false advice.
Mark Johnson wrote: “Since some people are still having issues, a bit of advice. The guy seems to have missed the part about cleaning the phone after drilling.
“In order to clean out the 3.5mm socket of debris from the drill you need to soak the phone in soapy water for around 15 minutes so all the drill shavings are loosened.
“Then give the phone a shake once you’re done. Hope this helps someone
”
Ninjapleaz added: “If you want me to tell you how to fix it, just reply to this comment with your credit card number, expiration date and three digit code on the back… and I’ll tell you how to fix it.”
Apple ditched the headphone jack in favour of bluetooth headphones, which every handset comes equipped with.
Users can also buy headphonse that have a ‘Lightning Jack’ to plug into the phone’s charger port.
These won’t be usable with any other device – whereas the bluetooth ones will.

My iTunes had gotten hacked. Luckily they only took some store credit which was refunded. They closed my iTunes but I can reopen it if I ever need it. I really don't use it anymore since I switched to Android.

Has anyone noticed the auto correct on iOS 10 has been tamed? For example I used to be able to type "welll" and it would fix to "we'll" automatically. It's no longer do it that, along with correcting a lot of other things.
