Very happy with my Jet Black iPhone 7 128 GB.
Very fast, battery seems fine and it's a beauty as well!
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone else straight up love their 7?

I absolutely am. Just got it yesterday. 32 GB black on the iUP.
Was nervous in going to purchase because of all these threads, and that I had screen issues with my SE that led to a replacement. Luckily, no such issues that I spotted in setting it up, and I don't intend to go looking for any more.

I am. Had mine since launch day and it's just blazing fast. I came from the 6S but I feel like this is noticeably faster. The home button is really nice too.
I saw someone with a rose gold iPhone 7+ and this case on it. Next week I was at Apple Store buying
the same phone and case. Normally I opt for silver. I will be taking lots of pictures of my garden like
I always do, so the improved camera will be nice. I'm such a sucker for new iPhones. I will be selling
my 6s+ to a co-worker.

I'm still in love w/my 7 plus. I've had it for a while now & it's still makes me smile lol. I rarely pick up my other phone now. Just the other day I had both phones in my hand an one fell. My heart dropped until I noticed it wasn't my 7 plus. Once I realized that I said (out loud) "oh it's just my non favorite phone who cares" an picked it up w/out checking for damage & put it in my pocket. 
The phone is really nice, but it's boring
Starting to get bored with iPhone, not that I would ever completely switch
But idk... What's so great about this phone? A new number series is supposed to mean completely new, not a refinement of the old one

Ha! Trust me, I do my fair share of b*tching about Apple these days, but I think they really knocked it out of the park with this one.
The only thing I wish it had was wireless charging, but I'll get that in two years when I upgrade. And by two years, I mean the moment I hold the next generation iPhone and decide to not wait another year... like I do every year.
I really love my 7 and its speed and battery life is really amazing and I get at least get 2 more hours usage of battery compared to my 6.
But I don't like my half pink tinted screen with LCD bleed at the bottom that shows up as a bright line when scrolling text and mine picks up a ticking and hissing sound on videos. Other than those two minor nagging issues the thing is great. I'm really learning to live with it for now because based on my experience with replacements with my 6 it's almost impossible to get one of these phones with a perfectly even LCD display and it's easy to get one with a different issue. I have apple care plus so I will get my use out of this one for a year and use those issues get a replacement in a year and try the lottery. But yes the 7 is in every way better that previous but still carries the LCD uniformity problems I saw with my 6.

Mine can be neon green and gold with a huge picture of Cindy Lauper on it for all I care, nearly everyone has a case and you can never tell what color it is anyway so I've never let that dictate my decision.
I think any phone can get boring after awhile.
A phone is a tool that one uses daily.
It's not a toy you get bored playing with.
Perhaps you should try getting a hobby or something else that will keep you excited.
It is very competent, like my Camry. It holds its value, but is eerily similar to the one I had two years ago.
I am happy with 256 gb of storage on my 7 plus. Happy that it only cost me about $320 when I turned in my 6 plus with 64 gb. The memory alone was worth the upgrade. The picture and video quality has improved, the volume from the speakers are louder. I also like the upgrade in Ram. So it is a competent upgrade even though it feels like a 6SS plus instead of a 7, but for $320, it was a no brainer.
So while I am happy, I really hate the loss of the headphone jack. I hate not being able to charge and listen to music. I don't push my frustration on others, so I have no problem with the people who it doesn't bother. Peace

LOVING my 7 and 7plus. Wanted the JB since the 3g. Running with no case and no screen protector. Amazing.
While there was no whoo factor compared to previous generations I like it a lot, but as someone who likes to use phones case-less two things which I see as bad design compromises prevent me from loving it (some of this also applies to the 6/6S):
- The back protruding camera preventing it from resting flat on a table (and probably damaging the camera glass cover overtime since the phone is resting on it)
- You have to choose between too coatings: the matte one which is scratch resistant enough but extremely slippery and the glossy one which has more grip but will scratch even if used carefully

I'll add some thoughts after 24h of use (which I know, is not very much)...
That display! So good. I was on an iPhone SE before, which has a nice display, I think. Vibrant, no air gap, good pop... and the iPhone 7 blows it out of the water!
Build quality on my unit is top notch. I've always been one to scrutinize new devices and though I'm trying not to do that this time, I can't help but notice there is no backlight bleed or 'spotlighting,' I see even colors all the way through, the body of the phone (matte black, not jet) is perfect... Just a lovely experience.
There will always be complainers (and often I am one of them) but for now I can say I straight-up love my iPhone 7!
