WWDC 2023 is coming on June 5 - Here is everything you need to know about the event!
(laughing)...Yeah, I know, but hey, at least we're not out wasting our hard earned money on illicit drugs....![]()
Well, you turned out to be 100% right.......Seriously, there was nothing about the iPhone 7 I didn't like, and I honestly planned on keeping it until the release of the 10th anniversary iPhone, but man, I just missed using the Plus model. The difference in the camera wasn't a consideration, the extra RAM was a slight motivation, and I do mean slight. It boiled down to my preference for using a bigger device.
I'm powerless over phones and other electronic gear!
Do you notice much difference in battery? I can't speak to the difference between the 7 to 7 Plus in terms of battery but the difference from the 6S to the 7 Plus in battery is night and day. Based on that reason alone I wouldn't go down in size. My wife loves her 7. I'm a Plus'er now.
No, not yet. I mean, I can go all day on a single charge, but so far, the battery life is less than my iPhone 6S, but not by much. Granted, I'm experimenting with it and I've not taken the time to set it up as new yet. I know the battery life will be even better after I do that so I'm not worried about it at all.
I set my Plus up as a new phone, and although I haven't really let it run until it dies yet to accurately measure longevity...it is easily still double what my 6s was getting. At the end of a 12-hour-plus day, my Plus is at 60-70% where my 6s was great if it had a 20% charge left. Even if it gets no better after a full-drain/full-charge routine, I'm very satisfied.
Ok...after huffing and puffing about how perfect the size of the iPhone 7 was, and how "too stinking big" the Plus was...that it felt like an iPad Pro in the front pocket of my slacks...I caved.
I stumbled across a 256gb Matte Black iPhone 7 Plus at Best Buy yesterday evening, after everybody in town said they'd been out of Plusses for weeks and that nobody would have any Matte Black ones in stock until the latter part of November. I casually walked into the Best Buy Mobile at my local mall and asked if they had any...expecting the same old story. Suprise! They had ONE that they had gotten in an hour before. I virtually HAD to pull the trigger. Yes...256gb is insane. I'll never use half of that...in fact, probably not half of half of that. But...it's there, and it's what they had THEN.
And you know what...seriously? It doesn't feel that big in my pocket. I got used to it today at work after only an hour or so. No big deal.
I'm stoked with it. Beautiful screen...everything is bigger and better than my 7 was. And, for a guy who's not getting any younger...it's a whole lot easier to read stuff on too. And, the matte black color with the black leather Apple case looks sexy. Boom!
We have a winner! :yes::biggrin:

I just ordered my 7 Plus 128GB matte black last Friday. This is going to be a LOOONG month.
It'll ship way before.
