So what you're saying is you would rather have a new design and that's it. Why fix what isn't broken... even Samsung lineup looks similar year after year. I'll never understand that concept of "if it doesn't look radically new then it's not worth it."
are you trying to avoid the question? instead, go for personal attack. what are you doing here if you believe it is all hype and marketing machine from Apple?
go and stay in line for your galaxy Note 7.
I keep picking up my 6s plus instead of my 7, they just look so similar. I should just return the 7.
6S over 6 definitely was, but I spend time with these things all day and 7 over 6S is just not there. People have even benchmarked apps opening and not seen improvements that in theory should be there. Maybe in certain high performance games you would see the impact.
I don't get why Samsung people are here, don't they have fires to put out?

Lol. Good one
actually they can't even buy one now. it is against the law to bring S7 Note on the airplane.
best you can do? it only been said about 1000 times. zero originality anymore, just like Apple
what are you doing here? since you don't seem to like apple and its products. do you even own iphone 6s or iphone 7? you got no credibility in this thread if you don't even own iphone 6s/7.
or are you here to express your rage over apple and its marketing machine?
this has been said many times in this thread. 3GB hardware is new and it takes time for app to update to utilize the resource, especially games. So far only apple own app, camera, is using this extra RAM.
Oh, I'm sorry, is this the Apple kiss a** or bust forum? Must have missed that in the forum rules.
This thread is about iphone 6s and 7 debate, not about apple marketing machine or Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
using strong language gives a bad image for your cause, whatever it is. Are you a Samsung fan? it is more evident that you are a Samsung fan. and you are here to fight for your loyalty to Samsung.
I won't waste my time going to Android/samsung forum to argue and pledge my loyalty to Apple.

Read the above.
Then read the OP again. Both of you apparently don't understand that changing goalposts isn't for everyone, and is far from patience.
A saving of £722 itself can justify the next year's iPhone generation, probably getting a 7S Plus in a configuration he wants.
Well I'm skeptical ... what possible reason is there for the OP to get a £722 difference in value from buying a 7+ vs a 6s+ from the carrier? I think he's leaving something out.

So are you saying that Safari has an artificial cap?

The fact that the 6s+ is cheaper? It would also co-incide with a different contract with the carrier, which I've found to be more generous in data the older generation phone you go. Remember, it's not just the saving in money, but the increase in data he attained.
Do you know what, I've owned iPhones a long time and always upgraded where I could, but threads like this make me think it's well past time to get off that stupid train.
I'm in contract for another year so was always going to miss the 7 whatever happened - but let's get real, the 7 is an ok update and that's it. That's all. If the OP is saving £722 by sticking with the 6S, *and* is out of contract in a year ready for the 7S/8, then that is inarguably a good deal, there is simply nothing else to be said.
There is NOTHING in the 7, no matter how you roll it all together and how much hyperbole you apply, that is worth £722 and a whole other year locked in contract. It's a 6S with bells on, and those bells are not worth a fraction of what he's saving.
Talk of "night and day" and deriding "old tech" - it is utterly ridiculous and speaks of a kind of mass delusion/hysteria on this whole subject. The 6S was a good phone, and the 7 is another good phone with some predictable updates on the 6S. It's not the second coming, it's not a revolution or a game changer, it's the *same* tech with a year's worth of refinements rolled in, and next year the same types here will relegate it to the same nonsensical scrap pile of "old tech" and make like the 7S is the only phone worth making a call on. It's absurd, and it's also quite obscene when you think of all the waste and environmental damage this mindset creates.
TLDR: OP you made the right choice, thanks for sharing.

And 6S was to the 6? Get real here now, we haven't had a game changer in a while. The fact is mobile phones have gotten so advance that it has become difficult to come up with your so called 'game changer' and that doesn't only apply to Apple. Every upgrade is worth it. It is definitely better than the last. It is up to the consumer if the upgrades is enough to upgrade from the existing device he/she owns. To say the 7 is not worth the upgrade from a 6, who are you to say that? If my pocket allows it and current plan makes it more reasonable to upgrade yearly why the f**k not? If you choose to keep or upgrade to the 6s to save money good for you. Don't try to justify your decision and make yourself feel the 7 is not that much of an upgrade. It's pretty laughable really. Enjoy your 6s and don't try to convince yourself it is better than the 7. The technical specs prove otherwise. Your upgrading to yesterday's phone for crying out loud. Yes the 6s was great and I loved it last year, but the 7 is now. I doubt the 8 will be a game changer either but you know what? I'll be upgrading to it too
. What are you guys posting next year that the 8 is not much of an upgrade from the 7? LOL let's get real now.

No the 6S was no game changer either, year on year they never are, and I'm sorry but the statement "every upgrade is worth it" is meaningless hogwash. Worth what? Worth £722 and locking yourself out of next years upgrade? Don't be ridiculous - of course it isn't.And 6S was to the 6? Get real here now, we haven't had a game changer in a while.

Don't for a second think I need to justify anything - I have no horse in this race, the 7 literally could be the second coming and I still couldn't upgrade - as an impartial observer I just think much of the reaction to this thread is hysterical. And I don't mean funny.
Every time I see an Android troll in this forum..
btw i used to be just like some of these Android trolls until I realized iPhone was the better fit for me once I stopped caring about TINKERING with the phone everyday. Check out my post history from 2010
