From 6s to 7...why? Why not?

[MooMooPrincess]

Honestly I feel like I should get a 7 plus (a free one at that) because for the 11months I've owned this phone it's been in the shop more than anything and it still isn't working properly but I won't. It's not even that great of an upgrade imo. And I just have a funny feeling this will happen to me again so I'm sticking with my phone till the 8.

Really good to hear all of your 'I don't need it and it's not much of an upgrade but I'll still upgrade because I want to' responses.

I know now why they call you what they call you.

Hahaha I'm just kidding. No I'm not. I have an iPhone too btw. But if Android users read this thread they would laugh their brains out. Just saying. No biggie. Don't kill me.

I won't be upgrading simply because I can't afford to. I'll be upgrading next year for the 10th anniversary model. My 6S+ is running just fine for me and I am content with what I have, which is why I will stay off the forums this weekend!

I think it's not a big upgrade so I will not be doing it.

Depends on who you ask.. if they have a 4s or 5s it's a massive upgrade. If you have a 6 like me, it's a nice upgrade. If you have a 6s, it's not a big upgrade. If you're on an exploding Samsung, it's a safe upgrade. LOL

I haven't heard a good argument yet, I really enjoy my 6s and the Apple battery case I have it in. I will be waiting for next year to see what Apple has to come up with.
Currently rocking the Samsung S7 edge as my daily driver and my 6s as a backup. The S7 edge is a awesome device camera , size, OS it's a very nice device.

I keep going back to this. iOS10 is great on my 6s. I'm a huge fan of 3D Touch on my Apple Watch, but think 3D Touch on the MacBook is terrible. So for me I own my 6s outright. I pre-ordered the 7 because the 3D Touch Home Button will make or break it for me. If I like it, the phone will be a keeper and the 6s will find a new home. If I don't like it, the 7 will go back and I'll be happy with the 6s running iOS10. With time to test and return I can't really lose.

Seldom is there a good argument. The answer is.. do what makes you happy with your choice. Many don't care if you get one or not.. it's one more in the store to increase their chance of getting one.. so it's all good. Whatever floats your boat!

I'm doing the very same thing...so I'm thinking the very same thing. I'll be making payments on my 6s for another year if I don't upgrade, so ...why not be making the same payments on a new iPhone, even if it's not earth-shatteringly better? :biggrin:

Great minds think alike, Devin!

Same reason I am upgrading. And the bill will be a little less

I almost pulled the trigger because I was on the pre order pajama party thread reading everyone anxiously waiting the 12 midnight pre order!! I was 1 click away from buying it.. I love my 6s plus!

Stay strong! You can do it! Hold on to your 6S Plus!

I'm just glad I'm not the only one not upgrading... Plus I love my little jailbreak tweaks

I just posted in another group.. the analysts are already saying no 7s only 8 next year. But it's so very early and who knows. Just another rumor at best.
Apple will drop its incremental ?s? iPhone release next year in favor of jumping straight to the iPhone 8, claims Barclays analyst Mark Moskowitz.

It does make a lot of sense to skip the 7s branding due to 2017 being a major year for the iPhone, but we'll know in due time. Thanks for the info!

I have a 6s and it's been amazing. The only reason I'm going to 7+ is for that camera since I take a LOT of pictures with it in a regular basis

 

[tigerinexile]

No real reason to upgrade. But it's fun to do so.

At this point upgrade every 2-3 years for "need". More often for want.

I've talked myself into and out of upgrading from my great-running 6s a thousand times so far. An upgrade has always been such an easy justification for me...but not this time. I guess because the hardware didn't change much if any for the third year in a row...although I know there are upgrades to the camera, battery life & other things. It's a tough jump for me this year...

well, after saying no on the first page of this topic, it appears I may be getting a 7 plus after all. While visiting my mother this morning, who I put on my phone plan a couple of years ago, she informs me that she wants a phone with a bigger screen. So, it looks like I will be trading in her iPhone 6 to take advantage of the current Verizon offer, and giving her my 128gb 6s plus. This has an added bonus of not having to constantly delete things she no longer needs in order to free up space on a 16gb iPhone.

This is stopping me couldn't stand it, amongst few other things.

I'm not upgrading personally because there aren't enough new features for me to move from a 6s to a 7.
