I feel like there isn't anything but complaints so I wanna see if anyone likes their phone?
 
Most people won't write about how good something is. They'll only write about something when they have something to complain about. That's why you don't see threads around the internet about how great and awesome internet providers are. People only find a reason to speak up when they're experiencing a problem, but don't feel the need to write when everything is going smoothly.
 
I love mine. I have upgraded from a Space Grey iPhone 6s 128GB to a Black iPhone 7 Plus 256GB....so I am loving the larger screen size, amount of space, the new camera, the battery life, the haptic engine & home button. I'm looking forward to getting AirPods to use with it. I use the Apple EarPods all of the time & the AirPods will save me untangling time, won't catch on the kitchen cupboard handles & rip out of my ear, will be safer to fall asleep while listening and will allow me to charge and listen at the same time at my desk job (not that I have to now with increased battery life, but I did before & like to be fully charged when I head home in the evening).
So yes, I love my iPhone 7 Plus. My iPads are feeling neglected this weekend, although that shouldn't last long, I do use my iPads a lot.
 
So far I'm enjoying my phone. I'm coming from an iPhone 6s Plus, to a matte black iPhone 7 plus.

I've already noticed how much better the camera is in low light settings, the 2x optical zoom is awesome and I can't wait to see what app developers (and Apple) come up with to take advantage of the tech.

The processor is crazy fast, as is the entire phone experience. My screen is warmer than my 6s+, but feels very natural and the colors are vibrant. It's equitably bright to my 6s if not a hair more, and the wide color gamut seems to be a real feature, not a fancy term for nothing. I also love the matte black color, I enjoy the new home button, and appreciate how they've built the Taptic Engine more deeply into the OS.

I don't love all the random animations on the 7 that are baked into iOS 10, but other than that I'm really happy.

I like my 7. It is definitely the best iPhone. However, if I had not already sold and shipped my 6s, I would have returned it. When using it now I would on a day to day basis, I don't really notice a big difference. I do really like the new home button though.
 
Of course, I like the 7... days I have currently been waiting so far to get the 7 :(

But I liked the display model I used in the store today
 
I like it but it's really not that much of an upgrade over the 6S. Apple better get their **** together for the 8 and give us a bezel-less screen, better battery capacity, 4K display, wireless charging, fast charging - basically everything Samsung has included in their premium flagship phone.

Enough of the recycled, rehashed iPhone year in and year out.

Coming from the 6s plus to the 7 and I absolutely love it. Love the one handed use and how it fits better in pockets and just the overall feel in hand is better than the plus. The matte black is stunning. Pics don't do it justice. It's a deeper black in person.

I will go back to the bigger screen iPhone when Apple shaves down the bezels but for now..for me anyway it's to clunky for everyday use. I'm active and that thing is huge and was hard to handle on the go.

Love it. Coming from a 6S the 7Plus feels huge but getting used to it. Not too many new features but still a worthy upgrade
 
Sold my 6S a few months ago because I didn't like the loss of the headphone jack and wanted to try the HTC 10 for its superior audio capability. That's all it has going for it. I like trying Android every now and then to see what all the latest hype is about. But wow, something as simple as brightness control was broken on the HTC (even tried a 3rd party app to no avail) and it infuriated me on a daily basis. That's just 1 issue I had among many. September 16th couldn't have come soon enough for me. So glad to be back on an iPhone with the 7. And the matte black is my favorite iPhone color of all time.

The lack of headphone jack...I'll leave the lightning adapter attached to my headphones, which I only use at home anyway. I'll get over it (already have).
