Talk:IPhone 7

iPhone 7

Should the title be iPhone 7?

Thanks JLOPO (talk) 20:37, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

It appears to be configured the same as the other iPhone pages from what I can tell? Unless you mean the URL having it as 'IPhone,' which also appears to be the standard used in the other articles. HMS Werewolf (talk) 02:04, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Mirror.co.uk

Is Mirror.co.uk reliable source? Because this link shows that the headphone jack is ditched and only wired headphones that fit into Lightning Port jack will fit or using wireless headphones. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 03:40, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Other refs I am thinking of that have Mirror.co.uk are this and this. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 03:43, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

iPhone 7 and iPhone 6 comparison image

I am requesting an image of and iPhone 7 and an iPhone 6 with comparisions of the missing headphone jack. That is to further reinforce the missing headphone jack stuffs. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 03:48, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I created a mockup image comparing both models IPhone 6 and iPhone 7 ports comparison. --TheGoldenBox (talk) 22:07, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Okay. Good temporarily. for now. If you do happen to have an iPhone 6 and 7, then please can you take a photo of the two? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 20:30, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Actually I change my mind and still like that comparison image with SVG. I would just request one of the iPhone 6 and 7 comparisons of jack stuffs for the Commons stuffs. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 23:30, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Timeline of Models

Maybe I'm crazy but shouldn't the timeline of all models only appear in the main iPhone article? This is an article about the iPhone 7, there is no reason to have information about the release date of the iPhone 4/4S/etc in this article. That kinda thing either belongs on iPhone or something like iPhone model comparison. EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 14:59, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

@Mike Peel: EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 02:04, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, I didn't notice this before I added it back. I'm inclined to agree: I added it back as it was in all of the other iPhone articles, and it makes sense to keep things uniform. So if it's removed from here, it should probably also be removed from the other articles about individual iPhones. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 10:33, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Replace "ion particle bath" with "iron particle bath."

(The 'design' video shown at the launch event clearly shows magnetized iron particles changing shape as a magnetic field is applied. Then the iPhone 7 chassis are moved through the particles to polish their surfaces. It is likely that "iron" was heard as "ion.")

Appears out of date. It now says "ultra-fine particle bath" — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 21:15, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Face-Color

The article does not mention face-color. I went to the Apple-Site and it does not mention face-color either, but it has a picture with the stupid white face.* When we have written confirmation, we should add that the phone comes in white and black faces.

• So many morons insist white faces that phone-makers offer them, despite increasing glare. Given that idiots also have no esthetic sense, I suppose that I should look forward to deplorable people with jet-black phones with white faces. ¡Even the 6th Doctor would find that ugly! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.233.65 (talk) 17:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

First Weekend Sales

Apple has declined to post first weekend pre-order sales for the iPhone 7 because sales are determined by supply and not demand thus making the pre-order sales irrelevant for shareholders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IApplereviews (talk • contribs) 00:50, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

iPhone barometric vent

According to a recent report by The Verge, the headphone jack of the iPhone 7 was replaced by a Barometric bent. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 17:03, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

The double camera thing

I do miss the image of the double camera thing. But I do realise that there was no copyright statements on the double camera image. So I was just wondering how to make an image of an iPhone 7 with iPhone 6 of camera comparisons without risk of it being deleted by lack of copyright statements? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 03:40, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Oh well, got one anyway. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 09:03, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

I think you meant iPhone 6s to 7 comparison. 97.103.155.112 (talk) 11:58, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Never mind about that. Got any double camera image anyway. More importantly is the double camera image. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 07:54, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Diminished utility because of headphones adapter

and the inconvenience of having to carry around an adapter for what is purely a mobile device, diminishing its utility

Easy: attach the adapter to your headphones. Problem solved :) (they did have a cable attached to them to begin with, didn't they?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:598:9981:62DF:F1FF:442:851D:8C7E (talk) 20:33, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

One cannot charge the phone and use the headphones simultaneously, so your solution fails.

Huge changes

Should it be said that the iPhone 7 has more changes than any other iPhone or is that considered opinion. 2602:306:32DF:1EC0:5910:EFA8:894:84E1 (talk) 19:27, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

That would be considered opinion unless a reliable source made that claim. -- Dane2007 ^talk 19:29, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

I guess it's opinion, then. There's no full redesign or major display upgrade but it seems like a larger change in every other way than the 4. 2602:306:32DF:1EC0:5910:EFA8:894:84E1 (talk) 21:38, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Some Verizon Wireless cusomers are having LTE connectivity issues

Should those be documented? http://www.technobuffalo.com/2016/09/30/verizon-customers-suffer-lte-connectivity-issues-with-iphone-7/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.70.151 (talk) 10:30, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. I heard similar problems from T-Mobile earlier. I will try adding it to the article when I have time. :) LocalNet (talk) 02:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Addition of Headphone Jack Prank

I don't personally feel that this belongs in the article as it's a prank, however, if reliable sources back it up at the very least I think we should put it in a different section? -- Dane2007 ^talk 22:32, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

A prank, even if covered by reliable sources, doesn't fit into the encyclopedic purpose of Wikipedia, in my opinion. Same thing with rumors. Those are covered by the media, but aren't suitable here. LocalNet (talk) 02:34, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Disagree. The iOS 7 and 8 articles mentioned the AirDrop and Wave hoaxes. Plus it could briefly be mentioned as an example of gullibility in the reception section. ViperSnake151  Talk  22:52, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm. I question the value of the information about hoaxes in articles, but if reliable sources write about it, at least that follows Wikipedia's source requirements. I don't really understand why rumors covered by reliable sources aren't allowed but hoaxes are, but that's not the current discussion, anyway. LocalNet (talk) 09:26, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Camera

This article makes the false claim that the iPhone 7 is behind the S7 in terms of camera. The only advantages the S7 have are in autofocus and low-light. The iPhone 7 camera is far ahead in every other way. 97.103.155.112 (talk) 23:19, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Please provide us with reliable sources for your claim. LocalNet (talk) 09:57, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 October 2016

I think that the statement that the camera lags behind other smartphones is ambiguous. It should mention that we are referring to low light.

There are no sources that support the S7 or 6P having a better camera. 97.103.155.112 (talk) 14:09, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

The article clearly references a Forbes article that says that the S7 and 6P have cameras that perform better in some ways. I'm not entirely sure what you mean here. LocalNet (talk) 22:20, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

I guess I didn't read the source in detail. I'll try to find a reliable source. Where can I find a list of reliable sources? 97.103.155.112 (talk) 02:08, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Any source where the articles go through an editorial process can be considered reliable. I don't think there is a list, but most major news sources are reliable. LocalNet (talk) 16:55, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

https://www.cnet.com/special-reports/cameras-compared-iphone-7-plus-vs-galaxy-s7-vs-iphone-6s-plus/#7-vs-6S or do you need a source that specifically says that the iPhone is better. I created a user Charlie pepin (talk) 20:05, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi again. Nice article, but yes, Wikipedia needs a source that specifically states that the iPhone's camera is better in order to write that. At the current time, this page states information from Forbes at the start of the Reception section, and Forbes does point out that iPhone 7 camera is not the best. Should also note that even if there is a source stating the opposite, we wouldn't remove Forbes' info, it would just add a sentence about the disagreement.

112.134.82.162 (talk) 16:42, 10 October 2016 (UTC) The iPhone 7 isn't splash resistant. It distorts sounds from its speakers after water tests.
