Cheers,
The 6S was worth the upgrade for a number of reasons. The camera was improved, somewhat. The 2GB RAM has a huge impact on day to day usability (lots of Safari freezes with 1GB devices like the 6 Plus). 3D Touch was overhyped and oversold, but it *is* a thing. TouchID is faster, more accurate/reliable on the 6S. It was a viable upgrade to the 6 devices. It was actually one of the biggest upgrades from a previous iPhone model, ever. Even bigger than the iPhone 6/6+ from the 5S, IMO.
However, the 7 is just... lackluster in that regard.
Apple's software innovation pace is quite molasses these days, and the hardware hasn't changed drastically since the 6/6+ were released.
Couple that with the current supply issues (they aren't selling that well, this has to be them simply being too conservative with production) pushing the date you can even get the phone back into December...
Yea, total pass for me.
Honestly, the iPhone 7 is one of the smallest upgrades that Apple has put out, ever. Way smaller than the 6 to 6S, the 5S to the 6, and even the 5 to 5S. It is a smaller upgrade than the average 's' cycle, IMO.
I don't need the camera or even really want it but you know I'm plotting on a 7 Plus still...oh the shame of it all lolI have the 6s, thinking about getting the 7 Plus when my 1 year is up on the Apple upgrade program (right around Thanksgiving)
I want the camera bad!10-26-2016 08:17 PM
I see no reason to upgrade me from the 6s plus at this time, but i did upgrade my wife from the 5s to a 7 so I'll get to play with that when it gets here in a couple of days. Most likely I will wait for the 8, but one never knows what will happen when you get the itch for an upgrade.
I hope they won't because I've always thought the s line of iPhones were betterNot necessarily, Apple's naming convention can be changed whenever they want. If you look at samsung, you would have presumed the next version of their Note line from Note 5 would be Note 6, but they skipped it and went to 7.
