In all the comparison shots and videos I've seen online the iPhone 7/7+ did look a bit better than the iPhone 6s/6s+ especially in low light, but it fell slightly short of the s7/s7 edge/Note 7 camera most of the time. Still for my uses any of these are fine seeing as my iPhone 6 camera still serves my needs very well, the extra zoom from the iPhone 7+ is something that would be handy though, there have been situations in the past where I wish I had optical zoom on my phone.

Lol what? The actual release date was 2 days earlier than the Note 5, in some countries it was actually 2 weeks later than the release date of the Note 5; but either way I don't see how that, or the announcement date matters in terms of 'rushing' the device, especially if we're talking a time frame as little as 2-10 days... Whoever wrote and titled this piece should find a new profession, I actually took the time to read the whole article and not once is there a strong correlation between 'ineffective management' or 'a desire to beat apple' and the battery issue. Just a lot of far-fetched speculation, and unnamed sources. Yes it's a fact that deadlines are tight, just like they would have been with the s7 edge, or the iPhone 6, or pretty much any other major launch... Heck in the post they even say: Making it seem like things were going to schedule... And I do love how they quote their own analyst in the only sourced reference that suggests they were rushing to beat apple lool. This article reminds me of the ones anyone can write on LinkedIn... Not exactly what I would consider 'News'

Wait... it gets worse The 28th of September is just for South Korea, the date for the US re-release is not until the 21st of OCTOBER No word yet on the actual UK date, but I'm praying it's much closer to the South Korean date than it is the American date...

Fair enough, personally I couldn't see that specific benefit when I compared my friends iPhone 7+, but I wasn't playing games/watching movies on it, and it was in a lit room. If it is noticeable in certain situations though then even more the reasons why Apple need to switch to OLED on their iPhones.

On phone screens? I'm only specifically referring to the difference between the iPhone 7/7+ and the Note 7 (Or other OLED panel phones).

I'm going to go beg one of the stores to let me buy it as my pre ordered Note 7 never came Edit: It seems the reason why it doesn't have the green battery icon yet is because it violates google's terms: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/09/samsungs-latest-note-7-battery-fix-violates-android-compatibility-docs/

You're right, they don't look that much better on phones, if you put the iPhone 7+ and the Note 7 next to each other you'll just see slightly more vibrant colours on the Note 7, probably wont even notice the deeper blacks. But it has other advantages, like the option for an always on display and less power consumption, which is why I think Apple will move to OLED in the near future.

Did you read what I wrote?? I said it takes a long time for jailbreaks to be released now a days. I'm very aware that there is no iOS 10 jailbreak yet, and that there wont be for a while. Which is one of a few reasons why I'm getting a Note 7 and not an iPhone 7+.

I already went into this in detail on another thread, but burn in isn't an issue to worry about on modern OLED panels for phones, under normal use before burn in occurs you're likely to have purchased a new phone already, especially if you follow the 2 year cycle which I do. I think it's LG Displays, and JDI that do the iPhone displays, Samsung do the iPad displays only. I agree iOS is dull at stock and very... very limiting. But a jailbroken iOS device in my opinion is just as good as an android device, the jailbreak community make some amazing things, it's just a shame that it takes to long for jailbreaks to be released now a days, and on top of that it takes a while for some devs to upgrade their tweaks to support the latest version of iOS. If Apple openly supported jailbreaking (instead of actively patching it) then I think iOS would be the perfect mobile OS for me.

While this may not be 'innovation' it's pretty undeniable that the iPhone 7/7+ displays have taken small 720p/1080p IPS LCD displays to their limits and made it even more power efficient, that's pretty impressive imo. I'm looking forward to when they make the shift to OLED, then they will have a shot at being the best phone screen on the market.

Re:Zero just aired its last episode of the season today, it's 25 episodes and really... really good. Sousei no Onmyouji (Twin Star Exorcist) is mid way through, it's going to have 50 episodes, it's at 23 right now, also very good. And if you haven't watched it already I would 100% suggest watching Magi (both normal seasons and the Sinbad flashback season) And also watch Nanatsu No Taizai (Seven Deadly Sins). They are all action based and pretty modern (the first 2 are from last season and continued into this season) and they are similar to the ones you said you already watched/liked.

Hopefully it's solved in a software update, but it seems to happen at various loads, some reporting that even at idle they can hear it (but only when the phone is close to their ear) and others, including Darrell Etherington, who is former Apple PR now a TechCrunch writer said that he could hear it at a decent volume while simply going through the set up process. But yh I think most cases are just when people are playing demanding games or under other heavy loads.

There are lots of reports of iPhone 7/7+'s making a very noticeable hissing sound when at high loads and a not so noticeable one when at 'low-ish' loads, have you noticed anything with your device yet? Or any other iPhone 7/7+ owner.

I guess It's hard to have a lot of cops to regulate things like this, it's just like speeding, you see people speeding all the time so the best bet is to deter people instead with harsher penalties. It wont stop a lot of people, but it will cut down repeat offenders, and hopefully stop some new drivers. But the people who have been using their device at the wheel for years and still haven't been caught, they're probably the people you'll keep seeing unfortunately

You simply said there's no easy way for 'anyone' to know it it's an original or replaced Note 7; I simply showed 2 easy ways. I misunderstood that you were talking specifically about on flights. While I do agree for now it's reasonable to ban it as a whole please read below. On the actual FAA post (an American administration) it isn't talking about the Note 7 specifically all the way through, it refers to it, and then gives the guideline which is to be followed with all "recalled or defective lithium batteries and lithium battery-powered devices" and it then urges airlines to follow these guidelines and make sure people are aware. This thread is slightly sensational; there is no universal 'ban', nor is there anywhere that says you wont be able to take your Note 7 on board even if you prove it's a new device before you board. If anything the U.S. hazardous material regulations don't apply to post recall devices, and thus can't be enforced on affected flights.

Don't hate me, but I think I may have jumped the gun lool. Now a lot of sites are reporting that the 19th/21st is either the last day of the exchange program, or the day when they get new stock, and some sites are saying they wont be available for new orders till the 28th... So we may have to wait a little while longer

Samsung released the IMEI checker tool already. Just need to go to this site: http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ Find the IMEI number in your settings (says how to on the site) annnddd done. Or even easier, use the Samsung+ app and it'll tell you right on there.

I eat it for a couple reasons, 1) I'm currently bulking (gaining more muscle mass) so I need a lot of calories in the day (Around 3200), and breakfast helps towards that. 2) I'm a university student, and there is no way I'm going to hours of lectures/labs on an empty stomach lol 3) I'm genuinely more focused in the morning if I have a good breakfast.

Well there are people like me who are waiting to be able to purchase the Note 7 again, and will do asap when it's available, because it is one of - or in my opinion the best phone on the market right now. But of course this is a pretty small view, the number of people who will buy the Note 7 compared to the ones who were going to before the recall will decrease a lot (It didn't even get time to release fully in a lot of countries including the UK). As for re-branding, I don't think it's needed. Although outside of this issue, there are speculations that Samsung is making a new flagship device anyway the 'Galaxy X' and that they will push the s8 launch forward to cover this, but that's all speculation.

I'm not sure if this is referring to me or not (because the person you quoted was quoting me), but all I was saying is IF you're training to gain muscle mass then you can gain muscle mass. If you're training for a triathlon then of course your optimal training wont bulk you up (It isn't meant to). But I think we both agree that different people train for different needs, and benefit from that training differently.

In your previous post you said and that you did gain endurance and you got more toned. That sounds about right to be honest, people always assume the more they train the bigger they will get, it makes sense, but it really isn't optimal for mass gaining, for purely building mass in general people should focus on compound movements (supplemented with isolation movements) and they should be training no more than 45mins to 1 hour every session, and they need a good split. For people who really find it hard to gain muscle mass training 3 times a week will do them better than every day of the week (And it will avoid all the negatives that come with 'over training').

This isn't exactly true, unless you have a medical condition like muscular dystrophy or something that would prevent the growth of muscle then you can 'bulk up'. Some people will be extreme ectomorphs with high metabolisms but with increased calories, good dieting, a good workout plan and dedication you can grow muscles and bulk up. Everybody is unique and complex, two people on the same diet with the same routine wont grow at the same rate or in the same way.

Aha yeah same, been a month for me too since I made my pre order which was delayed then cancelled by Samsung. Carphone warhouse and O2 have actually had the fixed phones for a while, in very very limited stock, and they've been replacing some of the pre orders before they ran out of stock again. So I'm hoping on the 19th/21st whenever it is that Samsung will provide enough stock to ALL the companies, I don't want it to be out of stock before I even get to make my order

In the UK regulation is very strange too depending on the supplement, but it's generally more policed by the FSA and MHRA then it is in the states. As for protein though, companies can easily say they're selling good sources of protein and then actually sell very low quality protein which your body wont actually absorb. But there are some good, well trusted and transparent companies in the UK (As well as a load of rubbish ones ofc). As for actually using supplements, there are genuine cases where you should take them as an additional aid. Getting over the 'recommended daily allowance' of protein however is beyond easy, and most people do it without realising or needing to change their diets, supplements certainly aren't meant to be used as a replacement for food.

From this quote alone you can pretty much tell that supplement company is shit and that they do anything for extra money. Oh and btw, that isn't a protein supplement.......... It's a mass gainer AKA useless shit mainly comprised of shit carb sources, very little protein (And low yield, low BCAA protein at best which wont actually help you) and random supplements mixed in so they can make the label look better and sell it for more. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT! Mass gainers are the worst of the commonly purchased supplements, they are no substitute for a good balanced diet, but if you do work out and you do need more protein in your diet there is nothing wrong with using a protein supplement. But first (especially if you have a small budget) make a good diet, then see what needs supplementing.
