So many true words here Chris. I wish I had emphasised the problems in my video more. You are right, Apple stopped listening, they are just interested in mass consumer appeal. In the earlier years, their products were so smooth and fluid, including their QC. Nowadays, you can see them slipping. I hope they hear your (our) issues.
iPhones keep most of their value past the first year! I've sold all of my iPhones that were two years older than the current ones for $500 or more. I've tried to sell androids and Galaxies that were released just months before and it is the hardest thing to sell for more than $145.
SuperSkip64 If this is true then you allow yourself to be ripped off. I've sold android flagships and only lost a total of £200 or very close too. Every galaxy I've sold because I've upgraded has sold within a couple of hours on eBay.
Once again Chris I agree with your points - my first iPhone was actually the iPhone 4 switching from android, and I was blown away by the experience, it was in another league. Nowadays whilst I like to keep up with the new generations of products, the whole experience seems to be lackluster in comparison to a few years ago. I feel like iOS10 is almost a bit messy visually also. I'll be interested to see what direction it all takes next year with the next revision of both hardware and software. Good to see you keeping it real and not selling out after all these years. It's reassuring to hear your words against the top 'tech reviewers' who sing the product praise and refuse to address any issues. Even minor issues always matter in a premium or flagship device.
I recall when I first got my iPhone 3GS back in 2009 it had one of the best box farts these ears have ever heard. Looking back, I wish I'd recorded it so I could relive that awesome moment over and over.
Im definitely one of those people who can't really tell frame drops unless it's major. Maybe i'm just used to it lol but im glad someone is talking about it since I don't think anyone else in the tech world is talking about it.
reflex I actually ask that question in tech talk episode 127 in jayztwocents about Chris pirillo concerns on the io7 and why other tech reviewers don't mention the issues it's 42:07 into the video ...(jerry and jay)
You won't use transparent matte case because of "not showing off Jet Black"... but instead you use full-colored case which covers the whole iPhone. That makes perfect sense
Chris, I just watched your 7 unboxing and I have the 7 plus "Matt Blanc". I'm an Apple fanboy but way irritated at their lack of response regarding software issues!!! I do know Steve Wozniak and wonder if you and I trying to get him to hear some of our requests might help get some thoughts on over to Tim Cook? Thoughts? I think I'll forward this UA-cam video link to him and get his thoughts. Thanks Talmon
+Talmon Murphy, Jr. - I'll talk to anybody I need to talk to in order to get this systemic problem resolved for all (including those who don't see it).
I found my iPhone 7 plus 256gb jet black on Craigslist for 1100 and I don't regret it at all!!! I don't have to wait till November to get it cuz I have it now I'm so happy!!
Nah he bought 2 phones on preorder date but his girlfriend wanted gold so he just sold it to me because of that lol but I didn't wanna wait till the end of December !!! Lol
Hi Chris, Have you tried a soft reset on your 7 Plus? Before the screen goes into black before the Apple logo, the pixels behave erratically. Apparently this is a software issue. Are you finding the same at your end?
I just got the iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black from the Apple Store and I love the phone, but I am also afraid of it scratching. I got a clear case and it looks like Matte Black in the case.
I just bought yesterday and whole night was confused why i did not buy Matt back instead of jet black after seeing this video feeling proud that i didn't made the wrong decision, thanks to +Chris pirillo
that's why you have to research this stuff that's why I'm not getting jet black but instead I'm getting Matt black since it's not fingerprint magnet or scratches easily
I've got a Matte Black 7+ 256GB and I want to swap it for a Jet Black... Also since seeing your last video have noticed the hesitance in the 7+ when closing apps so thanks for that! :(
He was so excited that he forgot to put a SIM card before putting it in the case. Now he has to take it out again and risk more micro abrasions!! Genius!
Seriously man you barely looked at it lol. I have one of those clear skins just waiting for the phone to arrive. I feel your pain. Worried myself. What can you tell me about the clear skin. I will then use a clear tpu cover. I have the skin that uses a gel to apply it take a few days for it to evaporate. Do the skins work with cases. One of my main concerns is the tactile feel of the buttons. It's a big phone and I find that the more tactile the button, the easier to use one handed. The apple case, especially the leather aren't very tactile and it kills it for me. Check it out,you will see what I mean.
I am waiting for att to ship out my 7plus 32gb gold on October 21st-28th but many people have been getting theirs like 1-2 weeks early so I'm hoping that's the same for me 😩
every once and a while i love to take my iphone out the case just to get the feel of the phone but that jet black iPhone is just hideous to me, it reminds me of the plastic iPhone 3Gs. photos of the jet black iPhone looks gorgeous but when i saw it in person was a let down
Chris Pirillo they really don't get that scratched easily like everyone says so. I have mine in the same case like yours. Been using mine for 4 days, and no abrasions yet. In and out of my pocket, tossed on the table, dropped on the carpet a few times, and no abrasions yet. Not even a hairline on the exposed ones.
Mine ships in November:(. I wanted to ask, is it possible to just cut half of the original protected off and leave the backside on? I want the backside to be spotless xD
Came here for an in boxing and got to learn the opinions of different software engineers and his opinions of the software just a FYI for the future don't drone on for 20 mins for an unboxing 3/4s of the video is talking and talking and more talking I skipped towards the end so I could finally get to the unboxing and guess what ??? More talking
I have the 7 plus this time and I love it so far. However, I agree that iOS 10 is a mess. I've never seen so many bugs, stutters and hangs before. iMessage is filled with them. They are definitely dropping the ball on software. No excuse it is so rough. Need a major dot 1update soon.
Hi Chris... i guess it shows now that Steve Jobs was such a perfectionist... Tim Cook and Jony Ive are lacking in that area. They may have got the business instincts, but not even a glimpse of Steve Jobs his vision and perfectionism. And that is a shame... Tho i am an avid user of Apple products.... this breaks my heart
im waiting till nxt year for the 7s plus. i have a 6s plus and i see no reason to upgrade to the 7. its not revolutionary to me. nxt year's iphone i will most likely get
13:17 was really funny. Dark side Chris debates light side Chris on the iPhone 7. Spoiler Alert: iPhone 7 sucks! However, the cellophane is the best in the industry.

A very Pirillo Unboxing! I wonder how long it takes you to open birthday gifts! 🤓
10.3.2 fixed 90% of the bugs frame rate and other problems
I recall when I first got my iPhone 3GS back in 2009 it had one of the best box farts these ears have ever heard. Looking back, I wish I'd recorded it so I could relive that awesome moment over and over.
I can't wait to get my 7plus jet black in November
I hate waiting ;--; my other phone cracked LMAO
Salomon Villafuerte me too. I will get my in November too
My dad too

I agree with you about no other reviews talking about frame drops
Probably the only honest reviewer out on UA-cam ... asides from MKBHD. But i agree with seeing the stutters.
The only unboxing video I've been waiting for. About damn time.
Chris, I just watched your 7 unboxing and I have the 7 plus "Matt Blanc". I'm an Apple fanboy but way irritated at their lack of response regarding software issues!!!

Chris Pirillo Lol! Let me see what I can do.
Just DM me on Twitter.
Chris Pirillo Hello Why do you regret getting the jet black
I've been looking forward to this! Mine is still "processing" over at Apple. Great video, Chris.
I found my iPhone 7 plus 256gb jet black on Craigslist for 1100 and I don't regret it at all!!! I don't have to wait till November to get it cuz I have it now I'm so happy!!
pitbull261986 your dumb
Someone's jealous lol
Nah he bought 2 phones on preorder date but his girlfriend wanted gold so he just sold it to me because of that lol but I didn't wanna wait till the end of December !!! Lol
I am watching this on my iphone 7 plus 256gb matt black
do you want a cookie because nobody asked
PKTV I am watching this with my jet black
Your extreme passion about apple lacking is quite exquisite. People like you are what drives change. So I have no doubt they will hear you. :)
will fix the lag problem when they have enough money and resources. lol
Hi Chris,
Have you tried a soft reset on your 7 Plus? Before the screen goes into black before the Apple logo, the pixels behave erratically. Apparently this is a software issue. Are you finding the same at your end?
Are you unboxing that or talk more?
A little of both!
Should've stuck with the iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.6
I just got the iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black from the Apple Store and I love the phone, but I am also afraid of it scratching. I got a clear case and it looks like Matte Black in the case.
mine still says....ships in november :(
mine is coming October 12th (:
randomrazr yeah same here, it sucks
mine is coming next week
Yep November 23rd
Dan Super did you get it ?
After what Chris said, I think I can hear Apple crumble cooking in Apples headquarters... @Chris - I miss the live chat
I agree w/ everything you stated about iOS and I haven't upgraded from 6+ as I don't see the need to and will wait till 7s/8
I just bought yesterday and whole night was confused why i did not buy Matt back instead of jet black after seeing this video feeling proud that i didn't made the wrong decision, thanks to +Chris pirillo
This is so true I have the exact same iPhone as you and I am experiencing so much lag
Some of us have stutter sickness but we have to "deal with it" because we can't afford anything better. I have an iPhone 5s still
I FREAKING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! 😂😂😂
I hate materials that scratch when you wipe it even with a microfiber cloth.
Chris, Tell me one thing.. is there any chance of apple launch iPhone 7s/7s Plus :(
Don't you just love listening to smart people talk and know what they are talking about...
Great video! My 256gb Plus in Jet Black arrives on Wednesday. Also-you are really, really cute Chris! :)
Great job Chris....enjoy the new phone
How much memory did you start out with on the 256gb
that's why you have to research this stuff that's why I'm not getting jet black but instead I'm getting Matt black since it's not fingerprint magnet or scratches easily
You got the phone I wanted, but because of availability I had to settle for black
It's unbelievable how Apple still doesn't take note of the problems...
I've got a Matte Black 7+ 256GB and I want to swap it for a Jet Black...
Also since seeing your last video have noticed the hesitance in the 7+ when closing apps so thanks for that! :(
Chris Pirillo,I honestly wish apple would give you a position in the company.i think you can bring back the quality to Apple
I agree about the software Chris.
Very passionate review, thanks.
I see it but I still like my 7 plus. The animations on my 6s were a little smoother.
chris I installed the clapper turned off lights
The unboxing king!!
I'm wondering if you've read Forbes review on the 7 plus? I was super disappointed to see their take on the camera
Chris, I just got my Jet Black iPhone 7 plus 256gb today. I, too, am nervous about micro abrasions.
I appreciate the commentary
I got my jet black 2 weeks ago and I have no case on it
Someone finally understands how annoying it is to see animations poorly executed... Thumbs up to you
The jet black 😍😍
Chris. I got a 256 regular black :) family vacation time?
+Adam Mckeithan - I'm very busy with a Startup, no vacation for me!
He was so excited that he forgot to put a SIM card before putting it in the case. Now he has to take it out again and risk more micro abrasions!! Genius!
It happens! 🤓
Anyone wanna give a wild guess when T Mobile will have black Plus in stores.
Seriously man you barely looked at it lol. I have one of those clear skins just waiting for the phone to arrive. I feel your pain. Worried myself. What can you tell me about the clear skin.

Go to Cupertino and do a live stream inside their headsquarters
I am waiting for att to ship out my 7plus 32gb gold on October 21st-28th but many people have been getting theirs like 1-2 weeks early so I'm hoping that's the same for me 😩
Blazer Reviewz you will bro mine said oct 10-27 and its coming in tomorrow!!
How much is it? Your phone you bought.
I upgrade through my carrier. It depends on how you buy the phone.
Man i stayed up till 3AM waiting to pre order the iPhone and I am still waiting :/
they put more detail in the box then the phone it self lol and no box fart what this world coming 2 ...
13:11 is when he takes the paper work off of the phone. If you wanted to skip.
Couldn't upgrade. Looks ok
So an iPhone that benchmarks better then a MacBook Air, lags on running iOS... I really don't see why this isn't getting more attention from Apple.
every once and a while i love to take my iphone out the case just to get the feel of the phone but that jet black iPhone is just hideous to me, it reminds me of the plastic iPhone 3Gs. photos of the jet black iPhone looks gorgeous but when i saw it in person was a let down
iOS has gotten better since 7 but you're right it's not where it used to be they need to work harder
U R so passionate Chris Pirillo!! 😍😍😍
I still love Apple, but quality (especially in software) isn't the same since Steve Jobs passed...
That flap on the shrink wrap is nice, but I like to ravage the box with my manly fingernails
man I missed this :D
I see what you did. LoL "force" the etch LoL
Excuse me why do you regret getting the Jet Black?
Micro abrasions.
Chris Pirillo they really don't get that scratched easily like everyone says so. I have mine in the same case like yours. Been using mine for 4 days, and no abrasions yet. In and out of my pocket, tossed on the table, dropped on the carpet a few times, and no abrasions yet. Not even a hairline on the exposed ones.
Mine ships in November:(. I wanted to ask, is it possible to just cut half of the original protected off and leave the backside on? I want the backside to be spotless xD
so u going with the apple case even thou u still can't see the jet black on 🤔🤔 makes perfect sense 😒😂
Ios6 is the best iOS ever shame can't have on my iPhone SE on my iPad Pro and iPad mini
why you didnt turned on the iphone
Because it was an unboxing :) I didn't have my other phone ready to switch over.
awesome unboxing
Damn that's black and white
Came here for an in boxing and got to learn the opinions of different software engineers and his opinions of the software just a FYI for the future don't drone on for 20 mins for an unboxing 3/4s of the video is talking and talking and more talking I skipped towards the end so I could finally get to the unboxing and guess what ??? More talking
Unboxing
Everyone has their own way of doing things. Just be glad you're not here on Christmas morning as I open gifts! 🤓
LOL

I order my 7 plus a week ago and my estimate shipping date is between 11/28 to 12/19 I'm so mad right now 😖😫😤😡
buy a skin it clear full body cover chris
I switched from 6s Plus to s7 EDGE PURELY because of the stutter issue 😅😅
I hate that
Still have both tho
geek's got a big mouse
i have 7 plus 256gb in silver
If it scratches that easy; then it's a poor design by Apple.
I still don't get why people idolize Apple so much.
OH I'M NOT MUCH OF A COMPETITIVE PERSON BUT I WILL DEFINITELY WINNING THIS !! >:)
You are such a buzz kill, but you do have a point...
Thank you for your honesty...
im waiting till nxt year for the 7s plus. i have a 6s plus and i see no reason to upgrade to the 7. its not revolutionary to me. nxt year's iphone i will most likely get

Cool
Not sure if this is an unboxing or an intervention... 🤔
