@micfil This seems to vary from store to store. As soon as I was able to get hold of the iPhone via the reservation site, I called the store and was told that I should print out this page with the QR code and bring it with me. If you can do without it, even better.
I was also able to test mine at the weekend and for me the jump from the 6 series to the 7 plus was big. Camera is great, nothing to complain about. Sure, a lot of it is toys, but the pictures or videos are really TOP. The battery lasts well, I charged it on Friday evening and it lasted until midday on Sunday. You get used to the new home button really quickly. Iām still in the process of testing the 3 choices. I took part in the iOS 10 test program, so I had the pleasure of testing some new things beforehand and I think it was good. The graphics are also great. Who knows the Zen Garden app? I already had it on my 6 and exploring the garden is even more fun on the Plus.
I read something about the Hissgate yesterday for the first time, but I canāt say anything about it because everything is going well so far. Only yesterday the thing was on the desk and suddenly Siri turned on by itself. I havenāt been able to find any other errors so far. I hardly or not used Siri on the 6 Series. Now thereās a male voice and my son now only gets WhatsApp messages via Siri: smileyvery-happy:
I had to re-pair my watch. That took a while, but now itās working perfectly again.
@Wallfab Hopefully SC should do something about that this week. Some have now canceled their orders.
@The DarkAngel hey, DarkAngel, quick question, do you know why Siri suddenly turns on without a keyword, i.e. without āhey Siriā? This has been happening a lot with my 6s plus latelyā¦ thought I was the only one who had this phenomenon.

Yes, itās probably a huge jump from the 4s or 5s. Just going from the 6 to the 7 is great. Much faster and better.
I already had my first misfire. Nothing worked anymore, I couldnāt use the touchscreen anymore and therefore couldnāt use the home button either. Lock screen didnāt work either. Only pressing the power button for a longer time brought up the swipe option to shut down the iPhone. However, I couldnāt wipe it because the touchscreen didnāt work. So as a tip for everyone: The new restart function on iPhone 7 no longer works with the power off and home buttons, but with a long press on the power off and the lower volume button (I found out thanks to Google) š After restarting everything worked perfectly again . Hope this doesnāt repeat itself too often.
Otherwise Iām super satisfied! Lots of exciting new things and so much faster! The battery is also a stunner compared to the 6 Series (of course I didnāt have a Plus model before). Iām pretty impressed with the camera too. Here is a photo in the dim light of the circus.

@Wallfab The jump from the 5s to the 7 Plus will be huge. My son grabbed my 6 on Saturday, he had the 5s and even the 6 is a big jump. This will really be a big jump. But you will have fun. Even for me it was a big leap.
@jasinalexy No, I donāt know that either. It only happened once. But I donāt think itās so tragic. But interesting that it didnāt just happen to me.
@The DarkAngel no, itās really not tragic, just a bit embarrassing sometimes when my iPhone suddenly says āI didnāt understand thatā:smileyvery-happy: Iām really scared about that:smileywink:
@jasinalexy Keep paying attention. I generally have my iPhone on quiet because everything is sent to the watch anyway.
@jasinalexy
We already had that in our lessons at the technical college. Then the teacher asked a question and Siri came out of a studentās pocket saying āI didnāt understand that, please repeatā š
Well, it lightened up the hour a bit š
@Quitschentli I can imagineā¦:smileyvery-happy:
@Quitschentli so coolā¦ I think it would have made me ādizzyā with laughterā¦ for me it was in a restaurant in Milan, I always had my cell phone on silent, but there he wanted to ( I have the male Siri) also have a say:smileywink:
@jasinalexy Siri wants to be busy too. I didnāt use Siri at all on the 6. Now Siri gets more to do. I have the feeling that it has gotten better and the male voice is nice too:smileywink:
@The DarkAngel yeah, I think so tooā¦ you wrote that you send WhatsApp messages to your son via Siri. Do you speak standard German? I canāt wait to finally hold my 7plus in my handsā¦ but Iāll probably have to be patient for a long time, just like everyone else here. I update the Applestore link every few minutes, unfortunately so far without success:smileysad:
@jasinalexy Yes, I speak standard German, it works really well. He knows that if messages come without emoji, they were sent via Siri.
As for updating the reservation pageā¦stay tuned. I think the best chance is either 6 a.m., although a store employee told me the site wonāt be online until 6:01 a.m., or around noon. Half past one worked for me on Friday. Updated every 5 minutes. You can also update after 3 minutes. But then you have to be quick, because I think a lot of people do it that way now and if you donāt strike right away, the thing is gone again. By the way, I have already logged in with the Apple ID. Simply click on the shopping bag at the top right. This makes it even faster, because it really is a matter of seconds.
@The DarkAngel great, thank you for the tip, I wonāt give up:smileyhappy:
