Dont get me wrong I like the phone. The speed is definitely an improvement but here is why im not completely sold yet
- Touch ID may be TOO fast. I much prefer to the old way to leave your finger on it for a second before it opens.
- The sound quality on my old 6 seemed better/louder. May be just me need more testing.
- Vibration is too quiet now. I cant feel it vibrate in my pocket.
- Thought I would like LivePhotos but seems gimmicky after I used it. Dont see myself using it really
- Even though the camera is 12mp now I dont see that much difference in quality compared to the 6.
- Thought reception would be better since it supports T-Mobile Band 12 (Available in my area) but dont see any difference.
But I do like phone I love 3D touch, cant wait for more apps to start using it. Love the speed and improved RAM (no more refreshing). Most likely I'll keep it but those are just my concerns.
The sound quality is at least on par with the 6 though I haven't fully compared yet. The music I tried I had no problems listening to and I'm rather picky.
TouchId? Just use a different finger than the one you used to unlock and then switch to the right one.
I doubt I'll use LivePhotos much either.
If the camera is a wash, that doesn't concern me really. I use it minimally to begin with, I would have an issue if it were worse.
Reception on par is fine also, again only a problem if it was worse.
The new iphones are beasts but only the potential owner can judge if an upgrade is worthwhile to them. In my case it totally is.
