This is where the "Inception" reference comes in
Either that or the i7 camera is soooo good it can take selfies of you on its own, from afar, and even when you don't want it to

My wife and I had the 16GB iPhone 6. With the $650 incentive to upgrade to the 7 it was an easy decision. 16GB was not cutting it any longer.

I went with the matte black 128 this time. $200 total (plus tax) for two phones was worth it for the added new features and extra storage.

I'm really hoping Microsoft finally releases the Surface phone next year. Windows 10 has the best phone OS by far.

never had an iphone, i had blackberrys and samsung.
but i kinda want iphone 7+

i currently have galaxy note edge

Is it me or has ATT service gotten way worse? Over the past couple months I'm seeing I very seldom have more than 2-3bars. Yes I live in an urban area (Boston)

UncleWede · 10-04-2016, 01:57 PM

So, you go out and spend all this money on a new iPhone, then you shove it in your back pocket and go for a ride in your M? No worries about twisting the thing into a pretzel and the glass shattering, or a component popping off a board????

No they have been falling off. 3-4 years ago there service was better. Even in a place like NY I would get spotty service all the time. Manhattan though it always good with any carrier.

At first I thought maybe it was just cuz my i6 was wearing and tearing but now I've got a new phone and same thing. There's times I'm bumped down to 4G and I prob average 2 bars. I had ATT way back when it was Cingular and it was the worse service I'd ever had. Went back about 4 years ago after Verizon screwed me and it was good like you said. Wonder why that is, I mean if the towers are in place already how can service get worse

I've heard from someone that T-Mobile and metro pcs uses ATT towers. If that's true I don't doubt they are sucking up all the bandwidth.

Haha, SO many 3rd party wireless providers use the same towers as ATT, Verizon, Sprint, etc. Here's a list not sure how accurate, but LOTS of companies are sharing the network with you.

I don't think i'll get one now , maybe later

R3dliner · 10-07-2016, 11:07 AM

I feel like my service dropped a little with the 7 plus. I would show 2-3 bars but have trouble connecting to data and apps

M_Six · 10-12-2016, 09:36 AM

Mine 7 arrives tomorrow. We'll see how it compares to my 5s.

M_Six · 10-14-2016, 09:10 AM

Missed the driver by 10 minutes yesterday, so I went by the UPS hub and had them place a hold on the package so I could just pick it up today. I checked the tracking this morning and it says "Out for Delivery." Arrrgh!! Looks like they didn't hold it. If I miss them today, it'll be Monday before I get it.

You can pre sign for the package and they will leave it where you tell them to such as a backdoor out of view of the street. In the past when I've missed ups when I called to have it held I was able to pick it up same day when the driver returned. You should call and double check it might not actually be on the truck might be an automatic update not an actual item scan

I always leave a note when they deliver my shipment of drugs

M_Six · 10-14-2016, 10:21 AM

The door tag they left yesterday say I must sign in person, so no leaving a note. And I had also thought maybe they really didn't load it on the truck, so I'll call in a bit to make sure. But in the past I've had deliveries where the shipper stated no holding the package at the UPS facility. It must be delivered to the address and signed for in person. That might even have been the last round of phones we bought from Verizon.
