6/6s to iPhone 7 Plus...why?

[TLD1]

I posted a reverse of this in the iPhone 7 subform.

Did any of you "upgrade" from your former iPhone 6 or 6s to the new iPhone 7 Plus?

If you did ...why did you?

Why not?

I'm upgrading from an iPhone 6 Plus, so I'm due for an upgrade... to me a better camera and faster processor is worth it.. and not to mention the 256GB...

Coming from a 6 Plus here, upgrading to a 7 Plus

All the normal reasons people upgrade:

Better processor
Better battery life
Dual cameras look awesome
I like Apple stuff

I had a 6s Plus along with lots of other phones... The camera was what interested me the most

I haven't purchased the iPhone 7 Plus just yet, but I will within the next few weeks.

I'm coming from a 6s. I've been a long time phone lover. Used to work in a Verizon Corp store. I used to do only Android but tried a iPhone 6 and fell in love. The main reason I am simply upgrading is because I have a 16gb model. Crazy I know. I need more storage and have been deleting txts and most of my pics weekly.
I chose the 7plus for the battery life and camera. My 6s is good on battery life but I need something that lasts a little longer. I usually end the day at like 15% and am looking for a charger at 10pm so I can FT my SO.

Excited for the new device

Why not?

Thanks for your participation.

I'll be upgrading from my 6s to either a 7 or 7 plus. Haven't quite decided yet. The camera is what was most intriguing to me. I also want to try and get used to the new solid-state home button.

Yes. I currently have a 6 and I'm upgrading to the 7 plus. I spend so much time on my phone now, reading scripts, using Apple Maps and other apps that require a lot of screen real estate, that moving up to a bigger screen was a no-brainer. I thought about it when I first bought my 6 but decided against it. I regretted that decision then.

Thanks for your participation.

You're welcome (though I know you were being condescending).

I mean was the response any less legitimate than another? I bought the new iPhone and replaced my 6S Plus because why not? It wasn't particularly wowing or anything, none of the "new" features were mind blowing, I just bought it because why not buy the new iPhone?

I'm sorry I didn't conduct some epic and emotional response for the world, lol.

I have a 6s plus and I'm not gonna upgrade. But if I did I would just upgrade because of the camera. I don't see a need to upgrade right now. But I totally recommend someone who own a 6 or a 6 plus to get it.

We are proud that this is a forum of helpful people. Your response was not helpful to the OP who asked for reasons as to why people switched. It's not informative and doesn't help anyone else make a decision. So yes, your response was less legitimate than others who actually provided a reason as to why they switched.

Actually, the OP simply asked "Why did you?" if you go back and read the post.

I answered that with a truthful response. I don't recall there being a prerequisite of having a long, drawn out reasoning to buy this new iPhone to answer the original question. My reasoning was, quite honestly, why not? You can take that as me being curt or "unhelpful" as you called it, but it's certainly just as legitimate a reason as any other one. I didn't need some cerebral rationale to buy the new iPhone. I wanted it so why not buy it?

The OP didn't specify he wanted responses in light of helping other people make a decision, so I gave my reason. It's ok if you don't feel it was a legitimate reason, because it wasn't your decision to make.

I have a 6s and am planning on getting the 7 plus. I just want to get the bigger screen and the camera looks like a good upgrade. Haven't pre ordered will wait and pick on up over the next few weeks. No rush.

 

[Shawn0813]

I have a 6s plus and decided to order the 7 plus. I am on the annual upgrade plan so why not.

You don't need a long or drawn-out response. It would have been more helpful to put something a bit more informative than "why not?" But I get it, you didn't come here to be helpful. I understand. We all have our crosses to bear.

Time for me to go on my merry way. Good luck to you.

I upgraded from a 6s Plus to a 7 plus.

My reasons are:
1.) Faster
2.) Better Camera
3.) Louder with Stereo Speakers
4.) Twice the Storage
5.) Good Water Resistance
6.) Longer Battery Life

It's so weird that someone who was preaching about being helpful is being so confrontational to a new member here, especially over an answer that wasn't derogatory or negative in its own regard. And you continue to do so after I explained, in further detail than what should have been required, what my answer meant. I'm not looking for your approval here obviously, but your condescending tone is a bit comedic really. You put the definition of the word "why", and my response to OP specifically fulfilled that definition. Simplicity, I've found, can be as effective as drawing out and over complicating a non-complex thought.

You've gone and tried to make it more dynamic than it needed to be because you, for some reason, can't seem to grasp the fact that some people might buy a new smart phone for no other reason than what I responded with. Interesting how such a simple and to the point answer is met with such hostility by someone clamoring on about being helpful and informative. Sure makes a guy feel welcome!

Enjoy your merry way. :beer:

Going from a 6s to a 7 plus this year. Bigger screen mainly and the new features are an added "plus". Pun intended. I'm on a payment plan so might as well pay for this years model.
