    When I'm editing, downloading, uploading etc. it is not very good at all. I'm not surprised by that discrepancy, but it is disappointing. It's still much better than my old one, but I still wish it would get better battery life under more strenuous circumstances.

    something really weird i've noticed with my new MBP...

    whenever i place my iphone 7 Plus on the left side, between the speaker and the trackpad, if it's juuuust right, my phone will put my MBP into sleep mode.

    it's annoying as hell and i have no idea why it's doing it. but i can recreate it with 100% accuracy. i'm gonna have to make a video of it.

    I agree. I think that has something to do with it. It's a cool party magic trick. Just annoying when I don't want my mbp to sleep. I just got to Oakland for work and did it a solid 20 times in my hotel room without error.

    When I get back home I will make a video and post it on Reddit to see what the "experts" have to say.

    Got the iPhone 7 in the mail today. Going to get it activated tomorrow. I hope these headphones aren't a nuisance.

    I think it's actually the magnets in the iPhone (don't quote me on where the magnets are exactly) that trigger the magnets in the MBP.

    It's nothing new that's for sure bc I've heard of this before.

    Edit: and here's a link from Apple https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203315

    Oh I thought it came with the airpods.

    Havent really dont much research on the phone, this is my first iphone. I just glanced at the ones in the box for a few seconds and they looked wireless the way they were packaged.

    I see now they are just made with the lightning adapter instead of the headphone jack.

    Thats better then. Gives me an excuse to go buy a nice set of bluetooth headphones

    Haha yeah the AirPods aren't even available yet. The headphones you get are essentially the same, they just have the lighting cable at the end of it, which plugs in where you would charge your phone.

    Ive done more reading about what the 10th anniversary iphone will be than the 7

    Thats the main reason I switched now. I needed to change carriers so now im on the "iphone upgrade every year" thing with sprint, so ill be able to get the new one next year.

    I went to the Apple Store and tried out one of the Touchbar MBP's, and fully acknowledging that I'm an Apple fanboy...I was underwhelmed. Until the software catches up with the technology, but as is I was disappointed.


    Also the Apple Store I went to was one of the new re-designed stores and it's meehhhh. There's no genius bar anymore. No tables. Just a bunch of stools to sit on in the back that all the techs were crouched around. It's awkward. There's only 2 open tables to sit a computer on. No price tags or product labels on anything anymore. Only thing on the table is the product itself. All the device info labels is now on the computer screen itself in the top left of the screen and it's interactive. But you'll see a table with a whole bunch of iPads or iPhones and there's no way to tell which model year they are by just looking at the table b/c there's no labels anywhere. It's weird.

    Does anybody with an iPhone7 NOT use a screen protector? Mine just got messed up so I took it off and the thought crossed my mind about trying to go without one for a bit. I've always used a screen protector but wanted to see if anybody had an experience of not using one and it being fine. Thoughts?

    I've never used one and never had a problem. Sometimes I mess with my GF's, and she uses a screen protector and I think it feels strange. It's liberating not to have one haha.

    cool, thanks guys. I've honestly never even thought twice about it since I've always had one on, but they've gotten dirty and the phone looks great without it. Obviously my main concern would be susceptibility to scratches but it seems like the screen is pretty strong in general.

    This is me. Never used one and have been using a smartphone every single day that I'm not on vacation (and many while outdoors on vacation) since about 2002 or so. That's a treo, windows mobile, blackberry, etc and iphones. Never scratched a screen enough to worry about and never broke a screen. Ditto for my ipads.

    Have almost always had cases on iphone and ipads though and drop them plenty. I am sure the corners have been saved by cases and likely some screen scratches, cracks and nicks from that bit of space the bumper cases have.

    EDIT: And I fully realize my next post in this thread is about the 10 broken screens in a row I've had in the last two weeks...

    I used the full body ZAGG invisible shield back in the day because I hated cases, but even then I eventually pulled off the front protector because it was annoying.

    Been raw dog for years on the screen. See no reason to use one. Waste of money, IMO.

    I use the Invisishield too. I drop my phone all the time, and the protector has saved my screen numerous times.

    I go raw dog too, but I did used to use screen protectors. I'd say scratches you almost never get or never notice, but I do have a crack in my screen that I probably wouldn't have if I had the screen protector on there.

    My 2016 Pro TB model has had the same issue many others are having: keys sticking/not responding. So they're overnighting mine for repair and said I should have it back by Wednesday or Thursday. Estimated 475.00 in repairs. AppleCare just paid for itself, I get all that done for free. Thank goodness for AppleCare.

    They said they may have to replace the whole top case

    Didn't it come out less than a year ago? Your repairs would likely be covered by the warranty, no?
