Regretted upgrading from the original Apple Watch to the Apple Watch 2. Do not regret upgrading from the 6splus to the 7 plus. Camera is remarkable.

I have an iPhone 6 as well as an iPhone 7 plus. I have noticed one thing that kind of rubs me the wrong way.

I have HD LTE (Verizon) calling enabled on both phones. When I make an HD call on my iPhone 7 plus, it sounds muddy and muffled. When I make the same call with my iPhone 6, it's crystal clear, loud, and sounds high quality like the feature is supposed to.

I also noticed that voice messages that I listen to and send on the 7 plus sound muddy and quiet compared to the 6.

Am I missing something???

To answer the thread question, no, I do not have any regrets upgrading from an iPhone 6S Plus to an iPhone 7 Plus.

I hate the bugs in the bluetooth radio on the 7 plus i can't even stream music without the damn thing pausing every few minutes.

No one in my social circle can get this phone. For all practical purposes, it doesn't release until the first week of December.

I don't regret the upgrade, but I'm not really all that thrilled with it at all. The camera isn't noticeably better to me, the performance is only a slight bump to what I was used to with the 6S Plus, and to me, it seems like I've had more little odd and end issues with this device vs. the 6S Plus it replaced. The ONLY reason I have kept it instead of throwing it on eBay for a profit is the fact that it's water resistant, and kayak/boat A LOT. Having a waterproof case was one of my least favorite things out on the water, and with this, I haven't had to worry about it at all (and makes quick pictures snaps out kayaking much easier and significantly better quality than with a case).

No I don't regret getting the 7 Plus coming from a 6s Plus. Could I have waited, yes, but what's the fun in that. I spend more than a $1,000 during a year on useless stuff anyway and at least the iPhone gets plenty of use for that $1,000 (no pun intended).

Not sure regret is the word I'd use. More of did I NEED the iPhone 7 Plus? Nope, but bought it anyway. Gadgets are my vice; albeit an expensive vice...
