iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

So got a new iPhone 7 on the 4th of May - noticed that a screen pixel died on the 16th of May... :mad:

Anyone else had such an issue?

Also, istore said that they only replace the unit if it's within 7 days of purchase- still waiting for outcome from repair center. It's such bollox!

Takes 2 weeks to sort out
 
Strange, when I had a dead pixel with my iPhone 6S Core replaced the handset after the 7 days OBF period and it didn't take 2 weeks...

In fact the collected the phone from work and my new phone was delivered 3 days later. This was 2015 though...

Got a notification yesterday to ask where I want the device delivered as it's not faulty. Called in and spoke to a manager who was very understanding and said he would get it sorted.

He said he would arrange for a senior technician to have a look. Got a notification this afternoon to say that they're replacing the device. Very happy with the outcome, just slightly concerned that they were willing to return the device to me which was clearly faulty...

Good to hear that. But you can be certain that someone didn't feel like working that day and probably didn't even test the device. :rolleyes:
 
Am I the only one experiencing frame skipping on the iPhone 7 Plus? Aka 30fps in animations, ie opening and closing apps
 
Hi All
Can anyone tell me how to test battery health on iPhone 7 plus?
I recently got a refurbed replacement device from iStore under warranty but the battery seems kark! It's 10.39 and I'm 64% without having done a whole lot since taking it off charge at 6.30am?

Before my iPhone 6 died, I used an app called Battery Doctor - Not sure if it's accurate but it gave battery health etc.

I would also make sure that most of your location services are off (other than find my iPhone) and check which apps have location services set to always as opposed to never. I know that Waze dosen't give the option to only use your location when in use (bugs me big time).

Thanks I'll have a look.
 
The last few days I've noticed a increase in battery drain on my iPhone 7 and I'm starting to think that it's not only my imagination.

Nothing changed apart from the usual regular app updates, I have no new apps which could cause this. I know in the past a Whatsapp update had a bug where it drained a lot of battery.

Something else, I left my Apple Watch at home for 2 weeks when I whent on holliday and since then I'm having issues getting it to unlock my iMac, don't know if this could be a factor. I remember right in the beginning when I got my watch I experienced increased iPhone battery drain for a couple of days.

I see nothing strange in the battery usage stats. So far the only thing I tried was to fully drain the phone battery till it switched off, I anyway do this every 2 months or so just so that it charges back up from 0 again.

I'm doing some more testing, if it really gets bad I'll reset and start from scratch, but I have quite a lot of stuff on my phone at the moment and really bad internet speed at home.
Any ideas?
