People who switched to I phone 7 plus...

Umm you touch the red button to reject the call. Or if you just want to silent it from ringing you tape the volume buttons.

There is no red reject button if you receive a call while the phone is in standby (screen off).

I wonder why my signal strength is not as good.

How are you measuring signal strength. You cannot use the visual indicators. You need something that returns the value dBs. The meanings of the bars vary from brand to brand, model to model.

I now have a iPhone 7 plus and I'm loving it more and more each day... once you learn it's in and outs and realize every app has a different implementation of the back button and other iOS corks The device becomes more enjoyable.

Right out the box I'm enjoying it's marvelous battery life and awesome sounding stereo speakers. The screen even though is of a lower spec then most android devices, to me it looks better than a lot of other quad HD displays I've seen that isn't a galaxy phone

Good to hear. My contract is up soon, and I was going to go with the Note 7, but am now leaning toward the iPhone 7 Plus.

I use an iPad, so am familiar with the interface, but have not owned an iPhone since the 3s.

Weak vzw signal is a known issue. How about bluetooth sound? Any crackling? I was very surprised to read some vzw users claim better signal. This is disconcerting. I had assumed the weak signal was a software issue that would be fixed in an update but if some have even better signal than ever this seems to suggest a hardware issue in a LOT of vzw phones.

This is troubling to me as well. Had seen several posts over at imore about poor connection on both Verizon & ATT. But this thread would indicate that it is not a software issue if some are good & some not so good reception wise. So is it either a hardware or maybe a phone case messing up the antenna bands?

Yes you have to open the app for it to sync. It's put to sleep so it doesn't use battery.

I don't necessarily believe that's how it works, and even if it did, it's still not something I want. Android phones can sync the photo immediately without wasting that much battery. It's not just photos. Anything not Apple related it will not sync immediately. If I create a contact on the Iphone using the contacts app, it will not sync to my google account, even though it's set to do so. If I used Icloud email, I'm sure it would, but I don't want to, I want to use Gmail.

I use the Iphone 7 plus understanding all this, so it's not that big of a deal, but the OP question I believe was what we missed about the Note 7 and the Android world.

Switched? I would suggest a lot of iPhone owners "now" were before as well.

NINO'S they be! Note In Name Only.

It's great to get a new phone and now sit here disabling carrier pre loaded crap. Marvel contest of champions plays as smooth as silk (lags on every single android phone). Apps are much more polished. Safari is still the best and smoothest Mobile browser. Battery life is great with no tinkering. The widgets while not the same as an Android, work great without hindering performance.

With all that said, still liked the Note 7 better. It's time Samsung steps up to carriers and stop letting them take control of phones. The fact that I can go to Apple Store and just ask for an unlocked model is great to. Android manufacturers need to get their **** together already. Imagine how annoying it is for the average Joe to buy a new Android phone and constantly get direct tv, at&t this and that notifications. This is why people just prefer iPhones.

I didn't switch to the iPhone 7 Plus. I have both the iPhone and Note 7.

I mainly use the iPhone to keep in touch with my kids and their elderly grandfather since the iPhone is easier for them to use. I do like how the Google apps on the iPhone function much better than on the Android. I like how well the continuity works with the iPhone and other Apple devices even when the iPhone is turned off (unless on Verizon). I use NumberSync with my Gear S2 Classic watch on AT&T which works good, but is not as good as the continuity of the iPhone. One of my favorite apps on Android is ACR call recorder. If the iPhone were to ever support such an app that does such an amazing job with recording calls, I could handle using the iPhone as my primary device. I like how the iPhone can function nearly the same on any carrier. Not having all the added carrier bloat and getting timely software updates is very good.

To me both the iPhone 7 Plus and Note 7 have some amazing functionality. They both have some unique features that would be great if ever combined into one device. I am heavily invested in both Apple and Samsung products and use either depending on the need at the moment.

You use NumberSync on your iPhone to use the Gear S2 watch?

They just came out with an update for the iphone 7 that's supposed to address Verizon's signal strength...

You use NumberSync on your iPhone to use the Gear S2 watch?

I set up (AT&T) NumberSync on my Gear S2 Classic originally with the Note 7 since IOS does not have the Gear Manager software available yet. Since the Gear S2 Classic watch is now running in stand alone mode, I can now use any phone and still receive calls/texts on my watch whenever anyone calls or texts the number on my phone used to set up NumberSync. It works fine in stand alone mode even if using an iPhone, but in order to update the software on the Gear S2, I still need a phone running the Gear Manager software. Since I am not using my Note 7 anymore and will be turning it in, I have my old Note 5 as a backup if needed to modify the software on the watch. My primary phone number was on the Note 7, but even with it shutdown I will still receive calls and texts on the Gear S2 Classic thanks to NumberSync.

It would be really nice if NumberSync would work as well as continuity on a iPhone does where it works across multiple devices at the same time with very little set up involved.

I was rockin both N7 and 7 plus until I returned the N7 last Monday. I miss:
-S pen
-Calendar (layout/color)
-Dbl tap to open camera
-creating photo albums and not having copies in the camera roll folder
-back button
-Snote
-Secure folder
-Contacts layout (with pictures)
-Quick charge
-AOD

I do like how smooth it is. I also like the dbl tap to bring the screen down halfway. The Bluetooth doesn't seem as strong though.

There is no red reject button if you receive a call while the phone is in standby (screen off).

I'll have to look again when I get mine. Now I think about it, all you have is the slide bar I bet right when it's ringing?

I have a jet black iPhone 7 plus and still have my note 7. My SIM card stays in the note 7 ... lol I've had the 6s and nothing wows me about iOS. I do like the Apple Watch and iMessages but that's about it. The plus is such a big fat brick compared to the note 7, the screen is blah, no led notifications, no audio jack, no pen, no iris scanner for secure folders, no split window multitask, no foxfi, no floating chat heads on Facebook messenger, I personally think the camera is slightly better on the note 7, no wireless charging and it takes forever to charge. Battery life is about what I was getting on my note 7 if not worse. My Verizon signal strength is better on the note 7 , except when it comes to Wifi the plus has better range. I've done several speed test and the note 7 was always 5-10mb faster download and nearly double upload speeds to the plus on LTE. The animations are so slow , it's like a supercharged v8 cruising at 30mph, you know the apple processor is a beast but it's just single tasking lol
What I do like about Apple is resale resale resale... the speakers are obviously better and web browsing is much smoother. Endless supply of accessories.. hate kindergarten interface. Just waiting for jailbreak..

 

[MizWylie]

I miss the notification light, Textra, the gallery, some of the camera options, and the setup of a couple of apps on Android. Otherwise I'm sticking with it until the next Note.

May be wise to wait? See the 2nd comment(there are only 3).
Apple releases iOS 10.0.3, fixing Verizon LTE issues on iPhone 7 & 7 Plus

Don't want your iTurd to be an IBroken or iLosteverything.

Happy to say that I switched to an iPhone 7 after exchanging my Note 7 and switched again quickly to an S7. The iPhone was nice, but boooring. I've had them since the 3G and switched to Android for a bit, went back to a 6s and then to the Note 7. Anyway, I can't do iPhone any more. No innovation and it just got stale after 8 years. This S7 is awesome. The S7 edge was interesting but I wanted something a bit smaller. I loved the Note 7, but the s7 is perfect size wise and for what I need. I don't see how you could switch from a phone like the Note 7 to iPhone. Blechh.

 

[ibcop]

The screen lights up, notifications pop up, sound and vibration. There is No LED notification light on the iTurd. If your not near the phone when a notification comes in then you will have no clue you received anything with out picking up the actual phone. The iTurd has Rise to Wake which is pretty cool. You just pick up the phone and the screen comes on without touching anything. Another annoying thing is there is no call reject button if you receive a call while the screen if off. You have to double tap the power button to reject that call.

You dump the Notes yet?

One of them....I can't find anything I want - nothing is in stock either. I'll resort to the Note 4. Lol
