SO, lets say you had an iPhone 7/7 Plus and it got damaged by water despite being water resistant and you send it in to Apple for repairs, do YOU not think Apple WILL investigate the issue the same way Sony does to figure out what went wrong with the phone first before making any assumptions?? Its OK if you hate Apple...but don't say they will just say its the users fault and leave you in a loss. They have one of the best after sales support ratings as a company and you yourself should know that. Thank you!

                  Reviewer already listed below disadvantages which even only 1-2 of them are deal breakers:
                  No 3.5mm audio jack (ships with a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter)
                  No microSD slot
                  No dual-camera of the iPhone 7 Plus
                  NFC functionality limited to Apple Pay
                  Still no fast or wireless charging, no IR port or FM radio
                  No user-replaceable battery
                  Scratch-prone Jet Black model

                  BUT, one very important feature which Android users are all aware of is missing as well (and this is really a big deal breaker).
                  -NO FILE BROWSER

                          "Warranty, repairs and customer service

                          It’s important to know that your warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by abuse or improper use of your device, including use in environments where the relevant IP rating limitations are exceeded. Also note that compatible accessories, including batteries, chargers, hands-free devices and micro USB cables, are not waterproof and dust-resistant on their own.

                          If you send a waterproof or dust-resistant device to a Sony Service Centre for repair, our repair teams will test it to ensure your device still meets the requirements of its IP rating.

                          If you have any questions about the use of your device that are not answered here, please refer to our Customer Support Service for help. For relevant warranty information you can refer to the Important Information document, which is accessible via the Setup guide in your device."

                          The Apple just don't want handle any water damaged issue, but Sony announce they want to check and test it and judge the condition and situation. This is totally different with Apple, Apple no need test or check the water damaged for iphone 7, they don't responsibility or even taking any action to any water damaged incident, it's looks like all fault to be blame to the user. Will you like it? If unfortunately you get a faulty unit from them?

                              Did anyone else notice the contrast ratio value in this review? Shouldn't the iPhone 7 have a higher contrast ratio than the iPhone 6s since the 7 has deeper blacks and brighter whites
