This is my first iPhone and so far I'm really liking it. Still a few things I'm trying to adjust to but so far it's been well worth it. Things are a little more restrictive but I'm not missing Android, YET.

Love my iPhone 7. The speakers, home button and speed of performance are my favorite upgrades at this point. I am still waiting for my 7 Plus to arrive.

Hope that you would share your experence! Because I also want to buy a iPhone 7 Plus. Ha ha~
But would you have a case or screen protector on it?
Which brand is good for you?:cool:

Thank you
 
This is my 2nd iPhone (7 32GB Black) first one was the iPhone 4 and in-between 7 android devices. I'm very pleased with it and iOS is great, I don't think I'll switch to an android device again.

I'd honestly prefer to wait for a third party, if at all possible. This horse has been beaten to a pulp but I just don't find Apple cables durable. Maybe I abuse them. Maybe I misuse them. Everything else apple is lovely. Their cables I don't even open anymore lol. The exception is the Apple Watch. Because I don't even know if I can find s third party cable. But I will say I got a rubberized dock specifically because I don't even want to touch the cable. They melt under my super powers. :p

I just don't understand this at all. We've never had an Apple cable break. We still have lightning cables from 4 years ago that we still use. We have never had to replace a cable on any of our phones going back to our 3g. Maybe we are just more careful with ours?? Do you routinely pull them out by the cable itself, instead of the connector?

Oh, and I absolutely love my mb 7 plus!
 
I was happy with my 7 but ultimately I kept going back to my s7 edge because of the better screen and camera.

Maybe next year Apple

That's perfectly fine. I suppose I'm rough on my cables and I certainly use them in bed. If I was the only one reporting this I would understand but there is plenty of evidence on the contrary.

Glad you're enjoying thenohone :)

I came from the 6S. I upgraded to the 7 Black 128gb.

I really don't understand how people are complaining about all these issues about the screen not being noticeably brighter or the speakers being louder. I can tell a huge difference in the screen brightness and the speakers, the speakers are crystal clear and LOUD AND THE COLORS Just POP! I'm definitely happy that I went with the 7 and not the plus since people seem to be having the most problem with the plus's!

The color on my 7 Plus is vastly superior to my 6Plus. It was the 1st thing I noticed. It is also clearly brighter as well. This is the nicest display I've ever seen on an iPhone and I've owned 8 of them.
 
Yes. I'm very happy with my 256GB Rose Gold Plus.

Though my chequing account isn't. LOL

I love the cleaner look, I can't stand the antenna line on the back. Speakers is a bit better and the Water Resistance is what really got my attention...that and I have a problem. Addiction. LOL
 
I'm extremely happy with my 7+ 128gb Black, coming from a gold 64gb 6:

In particular, I'm loving these features:

- The increased screen real estate coming from a 6
- Overall and very noticeable speed of the A10 chip
- Increased RAM
- Home button
- Raise to Wake
- Long battery life for my needs
- Dual lense camera (can't wait for Portrait Mode in the next iOS release)
- Not worrying about getting it a little wet
- 3D Touch
- How iOS 10.0.2 runs on the phone
- The Haptic bumps
- Not having a 3.5mm headphone jack doesn't bother me in the least

Other than some minor Bluetooth streaming hiccups I'm experiencing, this phone is running like a champ.
 
I love my new iPhone 7 matte black 32 GB. Beautiful screen with great color and super fast. I'm coming from a 6S.

Loving the matte black, 128 is the perfect size for me...when I saw the jet black at the keynote, I originally wanted it. The keynote made the matte look grey. Once I saw more hands-on videos and reviews and saw the matte black was actually BLACK, it was a winner for me. This is the exact same color I wish I had a car in. The stealthiness and murdered out apple logo is awesome. I'm glad Apple finally got this right after they originally messed up the slate iPhone 5. Jet black is nice but too much babying and worrying about scratches and what not.

loving it , it isn't dark grey but the darkest shade of black . Am happy with my stealthy choice:D, coming from 6s+ rose gold though

Exactly! It's way blacker in person than pics make it out to be. Looks very grey in the stock pics
 
I like mine. I had a 6S. It's not a great improvement. If I didn't get an upgrade deal from Verizon, I would have kept my 6S. Lack of a headphone jack was almost a deal breaker. The new home button is different, but not better, but probably more reliable. Display, speed, camera, and battery life slightly better than my 6S. I seem to have gotten a good phone and have not experienced the problems others have reported; matte black, 128 GB.

What did you get the 7 or the 7 Plus?
 
I moved from an SE to a 7+ and I can say that I am quite happy with my purchase. For the last few years, I have said that I want to stick with that year's phone for 2 years and not upgrade the next year. Every year I have upgraded. However, to keep me from doing that next year, Apple will have to knock the 10th anniversary iPhone out of the freaking park for me to upgrade. Between the dual cameras, stereo sound, awesome FaceTime Camera, excellent performance of A10 Fusion, the Jet Black color, and the waterproofing, the claim I make every year about not upgrading is stronger than in the years past.

Am undecided. I have had my jet black for over 24 hours and have yet to open the box. Still thinking things through (i.e. matte black vs jet black, case vs naked etc, how to open the jet black box, should I even care if it scratches etc) before I make up my mind. Will return to apple if I decide of an alternative, however thats unlikely.

My 256 gb matte black is pfs for deliver by 10/10. But I too am thinking of just returning it or maybe selling it at cost of someone wanted one.

After playing with the Jet black I found it didn't really scratch. I wished I bought that instead: higher resale value

I am finding the battery life rather poor.

My iPhone 6plus and the one before that were so bad. This 7, I can go the entire day until bedtime without ever plugging in once.
