I decided to go ahead and upgrade to a 7 plus in matte black. Now I was in a rush to get to my kids baseball game & run home & back out again to the gym. So I popped my sim in and went about my time. Now... not having screens side by side I didn't feel like the screen was "yellow" on the 7 plus really at all. I'd say a tad warmer maybe, but I also felt the colors were better on the 7plus.
So side by side on a white screen compared to 6s plus sure they screen looks a warmer. The 6s seems blueshish white compared to the 7 plus. Now I wouldn't say the 7 plus is yellow, but that's based off preference i think. For instance years ago I had my TV calibrated, but although it was "accurate" I felt it was too warm for my taste. That's a whole other argument.
Camera, again short quick tests in the hours I've owned it. In low lighting there is a BIG difference I seen. I had my 6splus & the 7plus both opened in the camera. And the 7 plus let in so much more light, clarity, & detail in not so great lighting compared to the 6s plus. Haven't tested good lighting but my money would say they are "similar" in good lighting but the 7plus will display more accurate better colors.
As far as speed of the phone seems about as snappy as my 6s plus which was super fast on ios10.
Matte black feels and looks great. This is the first time I've had apple care so I may go without a case. Or at least find a bumper case since covering up the matte black would take away of some of the cool sleek look of it.
Headphone jack- I've been using Bluetooth headphones for the last year and a half and won't go back to a cord. So there's that lol.
All & all it was worth it to me for since I don't have a high end camera and I like to do so street type photography with my iPhone. Which is my main camera. The low lighting jump alone is a major factor for me because me and my fiancé go to a lot of concerts.
I was also able to sell my 6s plus for about $500. So that's a major help.
Side note: I hope they intergrate the haptic feedback into more things. I notice when you swipe drag the mailbox it vibrates which is cool. I also really like the new home button, I also liked when they made the new track pads this way.
I will post the 6s plus and the 7 plus white screen comparison below. Although it seems less drastic in person. But present for sure with them side by side.
