So... I still don't have my phone yet.

Yesterday, when my phone was out for delivery, nobody was home to expect the UPS guy to come. MY LUCK, he came around 7PM last night, and I was getting home within the hour. I get home an hour later, and I'm left with the notice saying that my package could be picked up at an Access Point within the next business day (Today). Made me so mad! I specifically opted for the package's release so that the driver could leave it at my door. But, apparently, the driver "deemed it was not safe" to leave it where I wanted it to be left. I don't live in a dangerous neighborhood. Lol.

Basically, you opting for a package release doesn't mean jack squat if the driver doesn't want to do it.

Still waiting for my phone to be dropped off so I can pick it up before work today. Not happy.

Sometimes, that may be good for you. In light of all these package jackers, I think all the different carriers are scared of dealing with insurance and investigations. Plus, it's not like the box makes it less obvious of what's in it.

T Mobile really shouldn't be shipping phones in a
box with their brand all over it. It's like a flashing neon signs for thieves.

Any of you have a yellowish tint on your iPhone 7? If you compare it to an older iPhone do you notice it?

Or is this normal with the 7.

They're calling it 'yellow gate' :confused: It's been happening to random phones just like the hissing....or so I've read. Sorry.

Stole this from osxdaily:

How to Color Correct the Yellow Screen of iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus

On the device with the yellow tinted or unusually warm display, do the following:

  1. Open the “Settings” app and go to “General” and then to “Accessibility”
  2. Tap on “Display Accommodations” and then tap on “Color Filters”
  3. Flip the “Color Filters” setting to the ON position
  4. Select the “Color Tint” option from the filter list
  5. Now adjust the Hue to be less yellow by sliding the Hue bar, move it around until your screen is closer to the color hue you are looking for
  6. Slide the “Intensity” filter to a low setting to offer a more subtle color correction

Don't get your hopes up. There are still a bunch of people who pre-ordered 9/9 that haven't gotten their orders filled yet.
