Hi

Just to cut things short have been and die hard Android user since it's inception probably 10 years nearly.

Have been curious to try out Apple and Ios for a couple of years now.

Finally pulled the trigger and plucked the courage to order and IPhone 7 plus Red in 128gb. This was direct from Apple on monthly financing.

Not sure I did the right thing or should have waited for the IPhone 8 or whatever they will call it.

To be honest I am sick and tired with Android for 2 reasons namely battery life and timely updates.

I am currently using an S7 edge which was good at first but the honeymoon was soon over after a month or so when battery life started deteriorating and now I can barely get 8 to 10 hours on it. Secondly the updates have come to a stand till after promising start.

I am super excited to finally come over but also nervous and not knowing what to expect.

Any kind thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated.

Have also ordered a silicone midnight blue case with the phone.

Can't wait till Monday unboxing.

I take my 7 Plus off charger at about 930 at night and plug it back in at about 8pm and still have 40% left, and had the same luck with my 6S Plus and 6 Plus. I don't lose any % overnight either, where with any Samsung or LG I had I'd lose 10-20% overnight. I think you'll be pleased with the battery in comparison.

Congratulations on your new purchase @shoaib shah! The Product Red is definitely my favourite right now. Ah i so want one Should you have waited for the iPhone 8? I would say no. Buy the device now and ENOY it! don't worry about whats coming out. Because when the iPhone 7s launches, people will be like, should i wait for the iPhone 8. The unboxing experience is really good. Always my most exciting part.

I wanted one and debated. But since I get 15% off on all my apple store purchases, I said screw it. You will love yours!

I love the look of that phone, but I don't want to drop another $500 to change color.

$500? Yikes. I paid $739 plus tax. Was 799. My old plus are selling I'm swaps for around 725 or so. I'd see like $100 difference there for me.

$455 to pay off my current 7 Plus with Verizon + $54 in taxes for the new red one (256GB, of course).

My new employers has the red. It's pretty. Red my favorite color. I have the rose gold and love it. Getting a red tumi case so in those red moments got it. Lol
And welcome to the darker better side of it all. I came from Android. Not looking back

Yeah your situation it is tough. Mine was paid in full and then I get the Apple Friends and family discount. So maybe $100 difference.

How does one get the friends and family discount? Relative work at an Apple Store?

Have a relative or friend that works there. Everything I've bought over the past few years unless it was an iPhone at launch I get 15% off. My macs, iPads, phones, watches and etc. They place the order for you and they put your name on it and you can either pick up in store or have it shipped.

Delivery day today!

Can't wait

Delivery coming in 2 hours time.
