    iPhone 8 Plus Caseless question.

    Picked up the iPhone 8 Plus yesterday after work, drove home with it in the passenger seat [cloth seats], and put it in a case as soon as I got home. Bought the iPhone 7 Plus last year and the walk through the mall with it in my pockets [not in a case] produces scratches by the time I got home...

    Getting rid of the headphone jack

    I thought it would bother me. I use my phone for conference calls and often needed to charge my 6 while on a call. I have the 7 Plus now and I realize I don't have to charge as often. I've always used the earbuds that come with the phone so I put the adapter in a draw and doubt I'll ever use...

    What cases are you using on your iPhone 7 Plus?

    Just ordered iPhone 7 Plus Case, LUVVITT [ClearView] Hybrid Scratch Resistant Back Cover with Shock Absorbing Bumper for Apple iPhone 7 Plus - Crystal Clear from Amazon. Same kind of case I had on my iPhone 6. Should have ordered that one from the beginning. I ordered a clear MoKo case from...

    iphone 7 shipping delays

    If you live near a mall with an Apple store, go to the mall before it opens and the Apple store employees will take your name and ask what model you want. I went last Saturday and walked out with an iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black. Only downside was they only had the 256Gb model in stock but...

    Real battery life...

    I'm a power user and too paranoid to not give my phone a charge when it gets below 60%. I could probably go all day but I end up plugging it in because I'm still used to the battery life from my 6. I guess I'll give it a try one day next week and not plug it in till the end of the day. Also...

    How are you Jet Black users phones holding up?

    Bought iPhone 7 Plus last weekend from the Apple store. Didn't like any of the cases in the Apple store so I walked over to Best Buy Mobile and picked out what I thought was a clear case. Put the case on, walked a few feet and realized it was an opaque case and not a clear one. Went back into...

    How are you Jet Black users phones holding up?

    Bought mine yesterday from the Apple store. Bought what I thought was a clear case from Best Buy and returned it because it had an opaque back. Ordered a clear case from Amazon which will arrive tomorrow. Just looked at the back of my phone and there is a scratch in the lower right hand...

    Does anyone use a battery case?

    I use the Apple smart battery case and so far, it's pretty good. I still have battery power left when I go to bed around 11pm. The bulk is a downside and I've been thinking about only using it when I'm away from power for an extended period of time. I have a charger at work so there's really...
