Nervous about getting an iPhone 7

I just got the 7 and no hissing sound here as far as I could tell. I made the jump from the 6 and I like it. Snappier, better camera and slightly better battery. If you're on the 6s, I'd probably wait for the iPhone release this year, but if your're coming from a 6 and below, you may appreciate the boost in performance, and 3D touch is pretty neat.
Picked up a 7 plus a few weeks ago. No hissing, no yellow screen, no issues at all. Great phone, except for no headphone jack. I need to stick a flipping dongle in my wallet. Several times I wanted to plug in to various things while at various places.... no dongle no plug in, sorry....
In my experience the hissing problem is real in the 7 plus. But as others have said if it's not right apple will replace it.
No issues with mine OP. I have a 7, father has a 7 plus - both perform admirably with out any issues (no hiss gate) and if there were issues, you can return it within 14 days or you have a year warrenty with apple care or 2 years with apple care plus
Go try out yourself is the great choice than believing whatever internet tell.
Whatever you see in internet not means it is real, sometimes certain human will love to make fake story and the person in actual maybe not even own it.
Sometimes it is just an isolated case or the percentage having it is very little but the powerful of internet will make it big.
I have purchase two iPhone 7 Plus - 32GB Black (Sold) and 128GB Black, my sister have iPhone 7 Plus - 128GB Black, my colleague have iPhone 7 - 32GB Black, my friend iPhone 7 Plus - 128GB Jet Black and all of them no issue.
Except one of my colleague iPhone 7 Plus - 256GB Rose Pink is not perform very smooth, what issue on her one really no idea as she only install very minimal apps than the rest of above mentioned iPhone owner.
Of course test out yourself is the best way to know it got issue or not. Did it make your expectation to purchase or not.

Never be put off any purchase from what you read on forums as a rule of thumb.
If there's a widespread issue that's affecting all devices, then every single owner will complain about it and in all likelihood there would be a product recall or a fix in the works.
Beyond that, you are always going to see a disproportionate amount of complaints on forums and so on.
It's human nature, when there's a problem we complain about it. When everything is hunky dory, we don't.
So the unfortunate people who have an issue with any product are going to be significantly more vocal than those who don't. And yes there are, with absolute certainty, iPhones/iPads and every other product that have problems.
When you manufacture any product there is a failure rate. It's unavoidable, nobody can mass produce anything with a 100% perfect rate. That's fine, it's expected and we all know it.
The trouble is when you mass produce a product in volumes such as Apple do with iPhone, which ultimately ends up being over 100,000,000 devices. Even a failure rate as ridiculously low as 1% would still mean that there's 1 million faulty devices for every one hundred million manufactured.
That's a whole hell of a lot of devices and unhappy customers. Which means there's going to be a huge amount of complaints on forums and social media and press who like to blow things out of proportion.
We're very fortunate though that Apple has the best customer support in the world. If you're one of the unlucky few who experiences an issue, they'll replace your device. Usually on the spot if you go into a store.
Beyond that they even have a brilliant no questions asked 14 day return period. And their after-sales service, often even beyond the warranty period (which I've experienced myself,) is nothing short of spectacular.
So really, don't worry. Buy the product you want, there's significantly more probability that you won't have a problem. And if you do, you can return or exchange it with no quibbles.
