I dunno, but do you have any other hard life decisions that you would like to run past us too?
Reasons to upgrade from my 6 64GB to 7 + 128GB Jet Black:
-Battery

-New Color (Jet Black)
-Better Screen
-Water Resistance.
-Stereo Speakers

Don't forget the Cameras, 3D Touch, haptic feedback and fast Touch ID, and battery.
I need no reason it's just apple ❤️
I have a 6, skipped the 6S and have preordered a 7 Plus:
- chickened out of going Plus last time, now see the benefit of a bigger screen
- was underwhelmed by peek & pop initially, but now IOS10 makes that more interesting
- camera is a worthwhile upgrade for me, I use it a lot
- water resistance is a step forward
- I like the matte Black
Certainly not 'a need', but definitely 'a want' after two-years, I wouldn't have bothered going from a 6S to a 7.

Oh oh me too, me too! Can I make a thread with "Anyone upgrading from a 5s"? I was in the same situation when the 6 released, but it didn't give me enough good reasons to upgrade.
Reasons to upgrade from 5s to 6:
-bigger screen
-better battery life
-and uhh...that's it... I guess...
The 6 is just a bigger 5s with a new form factor basically...
But now things have changed!
Reasons to upgrade from 5s to 7:
-bigger screen
-much better battery life
-faster Touch ID
-3D Touch
-Pressure sensitive home button
-haptic feedback
-much better screen
-much better camera
-much better processor
-stereo speakers
-water resistent
-new color
-new design (coming from 5s)
-Apple Pay
-32GB starting storage
That's now kinda worthy for me...

Upgrading from 6+ 64GB space gray to 7+ 128GB in silver.
My 6+ has served me well but the constant reloading of tabs in safari due to limited ram was becoming a little annoying.

Yeah I'm real tired of that after two years now. Man it's hard to believe the plus has been in my hands for 2 years in a way though. People still ask me if its the "big iPhone" sometimes. But not everyone is a tech junky like us on the forums here.
I'm upgrading from a 6S+. Do I NEED to? Probably not in the grand scheme, but I want to, there are enough new features to make it exciting and different, it's the only camera I use so I always go for the improvement of the camera, and if I can afford to do it, why wouldn't I?
I'm upgrading from a 6 as well. Was initially going to skip it, but after the free iPhone 7 offer from AT&T, I went for it. Should be a pretty solid upgrade!
I think I will upgrade but my biggest concern is that, with the new upgrade processes, I am afraid to touch my plan because I have managed to keep my unlimited data with AT&T. So, I am going to make absolutely sure whatever I do, I get the new 7+ and keep my unlimited data plan. Otherwise I am waiting until the iPhone 8. Unlimited Data is more important to me that this particular upgrade
i was wondering the same, especially after the rumors about the next year model. However, I've always updated every two year since the first iPhone. It's become so much a tool for my day to day life that I budget it like an utility in my yearly expenses 
I also have 6plus and pre ordered 7pls. Cant wait for it to come it . I think its a big upgrade from 6 to 7
I'm upgrading from a 6+ 64GB to a regular 7 128GB. The plus is just too big for me, and now that the smaller model has optical image stabilization, I'm sold.
I'm moving from a 6+ (64GB) to a 7 Regular (128GB).
Faster overall speed
Better camera
Better display
Water resistant
Force Touch
More RAM
Easier to handle size
I take a lot of pictures and thought about going Plus again for the dual camera but I recently bought a Canon G7XII and will let it carry the load instead.

I'm going from a 6 to 7.
Battery is a big reason. I go to bed at 90% wake up at 40%. My own fault for charging too much, but after 4 iphones, that's a habit I can't break. The camera is another reason. Faster processor? Only as fast as my internet connection - I find. I've second guessed since ordering, but I just want it.

Going from 6 to 7+...I think lol Will wait to see what the plus is like when it arrives to decide if I will eventually be going from 6 to 7.
on 6+ 128Gb
not going to upgrade because of:
- same design, battery life, almost identical display, pretty much all the same
- camera and 3gb RAM are cool, but they alone cannot justify migration to 7+
