    Ok, honestly....do you NEED 512 GB?!

    Storage goes by quickly. I recently played around with my wife's old iPhone 6s, 128gb after she moved to the 7+, and she used up 83 gb on the 6s 80gb were pics and videos! 80gb. She takes a lot of pics of our kids, dog, vacation pics and videos etc. the storage gets used up fast...

    Wow you got me beat. Nice. And not sure why people find it hard to understand why some might want everything on their iPhones? And btw I do Spotify streaming too

    Ok, honestly....do you NEED 512 GB?!

    Yes I do lol. It does seem like over kill, but if you shoot a lot of 4K videos and take Tons of HD pics it's worth it. And for me I've amassed over 30 gb of music in the last several years and I prefer to keep them on iPhone for times there's no internet for streaming like on long plane trips...

    Finally found the love of my life.. (Iphone)!

    Glad you found the "love of your life" 😁, for me I'm the opposite. I went from a iPhone 6 plus to iPhone 7 plus. Was so bored with the phone and iTunes was a pain in the *** to deal with especially moving music around. Gave my IP7+ to my wife and got the LG G6 and I can say this is the best...

    What cases are you using on your iPhone 7 Plus?

    It seems to charge as fast as a wired lightening charger. If you use the 2.1amp wall charger (like for iPads) it'll charge much faster.

    What cases are you using on your iPhone 7 Plus?

    I think I finally found my "perfect" case setup. After playing with the Lifeproof nuud, fre, otterbox, and Spigen I'm using the brown Apple silicone case with wireless charging receiver. Love how the case feels, and wireless charging is so convenient I have two charging pads throughout the...

    I found this simple hack on YouTube, to "reuse" my mophie juice pack battery case, made for the iPhone 6+ and make it work on my IP7+ https://youtu.be/Ei_9y1GrwFw Works well, and saved me $100 from having to buy another mophie!

    Is the 6 plus still good to use?

    Yes. I've gone back and forth between a new android phone and my old trusty iPhone 6 Plus that I've had for over a year. Still super fast, and still amazes me it can hang with the high spec android phones I just upgraded to iOS 10.2.1 on the 6 plus and it feels like a new iPhone.

    Nicely said. Now back to sharing everyone's awesome cases and posting pics of them. It has gotten a bit off topic 😎

    What cases are you using on your iPhone 7 Plus?

    I don't get people who want to go naked. Life happens. You can be the most careful person in the world but one slip of the hand, someone bumps into you, or you have KIDS, and your $1000 phone is destroyed. At least get a screen protector. To each their own. My life is too busy to worry...

    NBA live 2k17

    I believe you click on Team. Then Calendar, and choose to simulate to this date, then play game. (This is assuming you've already chosen what team you want to be)

    NBA live 2k17

    I have it on both PS4 and iPhone 6 Plus. Surprising the mobile version is very close to the console. Graphics can't compare but to be able to play NBA 2k17 on the go is pretty sweet. And yes it is the full game. With MyCareer mode, blacktop, etc Btw your title was a little misleading. It's...

    Did anyone skip the iPhone 7 because they are waiting for the iPhone 8?

    I keep telling myself to wait for the iPhone 8, but yet I keep going to the AT&T store or Best Buy and playing with the 7 plus. Damn it is so much faster than my 6 plus (duh, 2 generations back). But the speed difference is making me hard to wait to upgrade Plus the new haptic home button...

    That looks really nice! Never considered that color but you've made me rethink it, if I ever decide to upgrade and get a iPhone 7 plus [emoji28]
