I've been regretting getting the regular 7 over the 7+ last year. I've been really missing the larger screen and the larger battery. The camera upgrades are just a bonus. I was thinking about selling my 7 and getting a used 7+. The switch should cost me about $75 if it goes as planned. However, I'm not sure if I should just save my money and deal with the 7 for another year or two. I'd ideally like to get the rumored 6.5" iPhone X+ next year or the following year, and I'm sure it's going to cost over $1000. That $75 could be saved to go towards that, but then again, it could also lead to me getting a more enjoyable phone (the 7+) to use everyday for the next 10 months at a minimum. Thoughts?
Got a tip for us?

Should I sell my 7 to get a 7+?

If you can do it for $75 I’d say go for it. The camera on the plus is great.
The next phone will be expensive either way, and you’ll recoup a little of that 75 when you sell your 7plus anyway.

I did last year with only a week with the 7. I paid $850 for a like new iPhone 7 Plus, sold my 7 for $750.
$75 sounds reasonable for a phone you’d enjoy more. You can always sell the plus next year and get the X+..
For a difference of $75.00, you can take advantage of the 7 Plus for the next year until the 6.5 rumored iPhone X Plus. I feel $75.00 is fairly reasonable and you're not it a lot money for something you likely would enjoy.
Thanks everyone for the input! Found a really good deal on a Jet Black 7+ in mint condition, so I jumped on it. Really looking forward to the larger screen, longer battery, the dual camera, and the feel of the grippier all-glass back. Just waiting for someone to buy my 7 now.
congrats! i just sold my 1 month old 7, JetBlack, 256 gig yesterday for $400. I found a 7+, JetBlack, 256 for $500 yesterday. love it so far.
If you’re able, always get the one you want. Don’t live life in regret!
The 7 Plus JB doesn't have a glass back.Thanks everyone for the input! Found a really good deal on a Jet Black 7+ in mint condition, so I jumped on it.
