Can't decide between iP7 or Plus

I've been on a screen size rollercoaster. 4.7 -> 5.5 -> 4 -> 4.7. The first time I got Plus was quite okay, I liked the screen, then I sold it and got back to old 4" screen, it was a bit too small but the compact size of the phone was incredible and finally I got iPhone 7, which is perfect. Yesterday I got to hold 7 Plus. The first thought that came to mind was "How could I've used that large brick?"
I ended up going from my 5s to a 7. I played around with both sizes at the Apple store, and as much as I tried to convince myself that the 7+ would work for me, the smaller 7 just felt right. It took me another week or so of watching other random people handle their (larger) phones to confirm that the smaller size was better for my needs. I wish the smaller one had the 7+ camera though

That's a job more suited for an Android phone with a higher resolution display.
I had a Note 7 and I'm shocked you don't want to keep the 7+. I know the bezels are larger, but I feel funny even picking up my 6 now in comparison to my 7+.
It's a job more suited for an iPad with a much larger display.
this is my route for this year ... iphone 6>> iphone SE>> note7 >> Iphone 7+ >> iphone 7
i love the battery life of my iphone 7+ .. but i hate the size.. i find it too heavy on one hand usage..

I had a 6 and 6s and was worried about the size, but had always been intrigued by the larger size. I went with the matte black 7+ and couldn't be happier. I could never go back to the smaller screen size. I was used to it in about a day, without issue. I do sacrifice some one hand usage, but I can make do. I don't need to be using the phone while I have something in my other hand. No issues with fitting in my pants or anything and I wear fairly skinny pants. I love the plus size. Shave off the bezels a bit and I'll be even happier.
Just switched from 6 Plus to 7 and don't regret it one bit. The smaller size allows for easier handling, one-handed usage, and although the 6 Plus fit in my pockets fine, but it was bulky. Battery on the 7 is similar to my 6 Plus (which I'm happy with) and the camera is exactly like the 7 Plus minus the double lens. I actually had 7 Plus in order ever since preorders opened and was due to receive it between October 18-31. I was contemplating on switching to 7 since preorder. Found availability of all colors and capacities of 7 today at my local store, made up my mind, and picked it up. I love the size of the 7 and won't switch to a larger phone until Apple rids the huge bezels.
I'd say if photography if important to you then you should get a DSLR or a good mirrorless camera.
That's true it is, It's almost 50% heavier, with the 6 coming in at 129g, and the 7 Plus at 188g. I think if they go to a glass body in the next phone as rumoured, then it will get even heavier. The only plus is we can hope it's a little smaller with the top and bottom bezels dropped in size a bit
maybe not girl pants since they have shallow pockets. but slim levi's have pockets deep enough that a 6+6s+7+ fits.
The (first) 6 was nice and light. Unfortunately, they made it so slippery that you had to have a case on it, which bumped up the weight.

but not comfortably. So you have to take the stupid phone out every time you bend or sit down. Dumb! It's called "phone with human attached" rather than "human with phone."
Haha I have no reason to lie about it, I definitely don't notice a difference at all. I am tall though so maybe that plays into it?
very happy so far, with my new jetblack iPhone 7 Plus! came from the regular jetblack 7.
I like the beautiful 1080p screen, the camera and the amazing battery. I can use it for 2 full days (pretty heavy use cause of the new-esh Plus size for me) and then still some juice left the 2nd day. And the grip of the jetblack 7 Plus is simply fantastic.
The only 2 things I really dislike: the weight and size (=bezels). These 2 could be the only 2 reasons I would swap back to the regular 7

I wear uniqlo skinny jeans and the 7+ fits just fine. It isn't pretty, but it fits.
These two are the reasons why I switched from a 6 Plus to a 7 - and had a 7 Plus on order for more than a month before I made the switch!
