Is it worth upgrading to the iPhone 7?


Confession time. I'm still rocking my iPhone 6 Plus. Not the 6s Plus, the 6 Plus. Still runs great, 0 issues, and I LOVE the battery life.

That said, I'm due for an upgrade, and wanted to ask all of you if you feel the iPhone 7 is worth it? I hear a lot of conflicting info from current iPhone 7 owners. Some say it's great, others say it's solid, but buggy and not worth the upgrade.

So - current iPhone 7 (or 7 Plus) owners out there, is it worth the upgrade? What do you like/not like compared to your previous-gen iPhone?? Your help and advice is appreciated!!

I would recommend to stay with your old iphone 6plus. Iphone 7plus has a bad mic by default. It's like a design mistake. People can not hear you when you move the phone a little bit away, Like 2cm. I talked with more people that have the same problem. So be happy with your old iphone 6plus

No. Not worth it. It is quite similar to 6 and 6S with only incremental improvements. Wait until they come out with a completely new model. Also their idea to remove the headphone jack was retarded. If Steve Jobs were alive he would have fired the team who thought of this.

See if your carrier will give you a credit for not upgrading, because it is not worth upgrade, i still have iphone 6, and i would not upgrade. I work in cell phone industry, and i have used it many times, simply better to wait.

To make it easy:

-If you have an iphone 6/6S : NO
-If you use it a lot for calls and need headphones : NO
-If you use headphones a lot: NO

If the second or third, consider a 6S instead of an iphone 7.

You cannot charge the iphone 7 while using headphones, plus you need to carry either the original headphones or the "adapter".

Have a 7 plus . It's rubbish . Battery life is not good as the 6 plus ( which I loved ) . Home button is dodgy . Stay away and wait for the iphone 8 m8

No if you expect for something more than just a better camera.

Personally it isnt worth upgrade because of:
-Poor battery life
-Speaker quality horrible
-Bug: 3D touch haptic feedback stops with work
-Apps getting shut down or freezed.
-No audio jack
-Still same screen resolution
And all you get is by my opinion just better camera.

Most reviews have shown that iPhone 6 is a great choice, but first time buyers are always confused to buy either to buy iPhone 6 or iPhone 7.

I personally prefer iPhone 6 plus.

Repair iPhone 7 | iPhone Glass Repair | iDoctor

Don't get me wrong. The iPhone 7 Plus is a great phone, but not better than the iPhone 6s Plus. It has a fast processor and a better camera with dual lenses that build to capture awesome photos. These two specific features are the main reasons why someone should upgrade to a new iPhone 7, 7+. Otherwise iPhone 6s is good one.
