Iphone 7 ?

[boxst]

Mmmm. So it finally happened: Not a big thing, but I was talking on the phone using the headset and noticed the battery was at 5%. I have a portable charger, so would normally just plug that in but couldn't as the headphones were in there ..

I really don't want to carry another cable around with me, but has anyone seen a dual connector or similar?

edit: If only there were some way to search and see if something exists. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/belkin-mfi-lightning-au.... Expensive though.

Patience, much cheaper options will come around.

if you search for lightning splitter on ebay, it looks like you can preorder one for around £20 from the states.

When you trade in at game do you need the box and supplied accessories or just the phone on itself?

You need it all to get a good price. They also do tests etc (not sure if others are the same) so it takes about half an hour.

I've been running the beta ios with the portrait mode, it does take a very decent picture, for a phone -



Taken one handed whilst waving the other hand trying to get his attention.

Hummm, disappointed in that. As a thumbnail it looks OK but when you go full sized you can very clearly see where the software has tried blending two pictures together. Hopefully the final release will improve it some more. At the moment it looks like a bad photoshop. Admittedly a fluffy dog with a grass background is properly taxing the code.

I was listening to the news about Samsung's woes this morning and thinking that the 'droid gloating would probably have broken the internet had it been new iPhones that were catching fire.

Really? I wasn't expecting SLR quality, but for a point and shoot I think it's excellent.

A more effective and elegant solution : https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fuze-cases-brin...

Case, battery, with 3.5mm and lightning ports.

Elegant by sticking a massive case on the phone?

Everyone happy with their 7s?

Got a new 5S last week to have play with having had Android for ages. Currently got a 6P and loving the dinkness of it all. iOS isn't even terrible these days. Who knew?

I'm impressed with that depth of field effect. Would be great to see it compared to a normal iphone 7 shot and also a DLSR shot.

Like you say, for a point and shoot that's bloody good IMO

Looks a brilliant shot to me and, as you say, for a phone camera it's superb.

I wonder if one of the alternative camera apps can make the single camera phones emulate the depth of field effect of the plus. Take a photo, and then take a second photo automatically when the accelerometer detects you've moved your phone a couple of centimetres, but the gyro shows the same rotation (I.e. The same shot from a slightly different point in space).

Samsung does the same effect with software and a single camera.

I guess it won't be long before one of the USPs of the larger model is emulated on the smaller one then (because I'd like that feature, but have no desire for the plus model). Thanks.

you can't really be saying that software is the same as genuine depth of field

It's not genuine depth of field on the iPhone as it is 2 photos software blended into one. Genuine depth of field is when the camera optics give the shallow depth of field in one photo. Samsung may be taking 2 photos milliseconds apart with different focal points and blending them together which is pretty much the same thing.

TBH I can't see Apple allowing that to happen.
