Money doesn't enter the equation for me. I could go and buy a 7 today if i wanted to.
Like you have said, it's more about features, the 7 just isn't that different to the 6S. Although i do think the A10 is a very impressive chip.
The A10 when used to its full benefit will be an absolute beast. The last 4 Apple A series chips have been rather impressive. Starting with the A7. The A8 was more about efficiency than anything else, but the A9 and A10 have been absolute beasts

The difference is like night and day. The 7+ crushes the 6S+ in actually every single regard (except that 3,5 jack).
Honestly, I really can't understand how someone spends more than 500-600 bucks on an outdated device...
I'm not looking into getting into another pissing match, but does it really "crush" it?
I mean I realize the A10 chip isn't being used to its full benefit as of yet, but from the benchmarks I've seen and the app speed tests and stuff like that I haven't really seen where the 7 blows the 6s away.
Like I've said I had the 7 for 3 days alongside an SE a 6s Plus and a 6 Plus and I just was not impressed at all. I'm not saying I won't go a back to get a 7 eventually, but it's definitely not a must have for me. The 6s Plus last year was a must have for me. The 6 Plus the year before was a must have for me.
The iPhone 7 while I understand it is a great iPhone and the best iPhone to date ... doesn't really offer many great new and exciting features over the 6s.
The dual camera is great and will only get better as time goes along. The A10 chip will be an absolute beast, but so was the A9 and A9X. The water resistance is a welcome added feature, but that's going to obviously be on the next updated iPhone (which BTW is the reason Apple released this iPhone 7.)
IMO and I want that to be known... it's my opinion... Apple held back in the iPhone 7 just to hold it over til next years absolutely "HUGE" upgrade comes.
I just don't see the 7 as "blowing up the 6s in every regard." Again it's just from what I've seen and my opinion on it.

I am having a hard time with the 7 and Plus, I have both.
I use my smartphone extensively throughout the day. Threads and feedback galore already on the yellowish and less bright display. That is the case with both of mine versus the 6s Plus.
I don't care about the supposed "better accurate display". The 7 and Plus is distracting considering I was using the 6s Plus for quite awhile beforehand. I would not say they hurt my eyes but I can and have looked at my 6s Plus for quite awhile and never felt distracted by its display.
Forget everything else, one's mileage varies depending how they use their smartphone and if the new 7 is a worthwhile upgrade.
More than likely I will return the 7 and Plus before expiration. Cannot help but think I'd be sorry if I did not. I can always repurchase at a later time if I choose to do so.
This is what I did. I returned my 7 and bought a 6s Plus from a co-worker for less than $200 to hold me over until the iPhone 8 comes in 2017.
It's not about the money issue because I have the money to buy the 7 and 7 Plus and switch em out daily if I wanted, but when a phone doesn't impress me in the first 3 days of using it then it will never impress me.
I had an iPhone 7 alongside and SE and a 6s Plus. As far as speed went ... they were all the same. The 7's GPU opened up games a bit faster, but that was it.
As far as the regular 7's camera compared to the 6s Plus... I honestly thought the 6s Plus was better in some pictures...
I know the iPhone 7 has some wonderful new features that will be useful in the long run...
But with me it was pay $750 for the 7 or get and iPhone 6s Plus for $200 and save $550. I was wondering is the 7 $550 better then the 6s Plus and it's not...
