My first week with the iPhone 7 Plus (coming from 6).

I'm jealous that you don't care about sound quality as me. It must be nice being able to just be unaware of that sort of thing.

You think the lack of a home button is going to be less of a problem because of what the alleged design will be like next year? You're not too good at this reading comprehension thing.

And you're just a liar about the lack of bugs. But then again you probably wouldn't even be aware of them if you can't pick up on the differences in sound quality.

Ignorance is bliss.

What do you think about the weight of the plus ?? Is comfortable??

It is heavier than the 6, but not a deterrent for me. I wish it were lighter, but I'm already used to it.

Nice! I have my 7+ on order, just painful waiting for it. Nice to read good things coming from the 6.

I read the post and I just wanted to throw this in the mix, think of it as a gift...

In life when someone tells you something you have 3 options (although these can be rated +/- 0% to 100%):

You listen to what they say (which now days only probably 15% of us actually do) and:

Either try to be as neutral or unbiased as possible (+/-0%) and give a perfectly natural response, as to how you feel.

Or You can try desperately to understand what that person is saying and fiercely support their point and agree (100% positive).

Or You can look for flaws, errors, or other miscellany in their point making process and be a real a$$hole, (negative 100%).

I try to be as neutral as possible, or lean toward "trying to agree with their point", especially when dealing with older people, which may sound ageist but in fact it's not, I am trying to learn from someone who is older than myself, and maybe they can teach me something, that I might not have picked up yet.

With younger people I do the same as with older people because they have things in their "world" that are new and coming my way that I need to pay attention to.

Just some cents...

Probably the greatest thing I've ever read on this site. Thanks!

I had a 7 for a week from launch and exchanged for a plus yesterday morning.
I really didn't like it at first and was ready to go back to a 7 tomorrow.
But what has won me over is the screen, camera and battery life. It's just to hard to give those three things up after only having the phone for one day. Yes, I'll agree that the phone is to big and cumbersome but Apple don't offer a smaller device with those three things so as much as I don't like the size, I'm keeping it.

The display on the + is the best I've ever seen on an iPhone. The colors are just so vivid. Clearly better than my 6+.
I found this Wired article on the iPhone 7 display quite interesting.

Yes, considering I had the Apple Battery case on my 6S. Weight is around the same or maybe a little less now. It is thinner since it does not have the battery hump the case had.

I will have to weigh them out of curiosity.

I've had my 7+ for almost 24 hours now. Went from an IP5 to a 7+ and I absolutely love it. The big screen, colors, and size in my hand is amazing. This morning, my wife was in the car and she called me when I was inside Costco. I couldn't believe the sound quality from the phone; it's as if she was standing right next to me: SUPER clear and loud. Still playing around with all the other features since it's all new to me coming from an iPhone 5.
