Do you this it is worth to upgrade from a 6 to a 7?
I did and am really glad I did.
I think going from a 6 to 6s or 7 is a very worthwhile upgrade for power users especially if you need multitasking regularly or are an avid smartphone photographer
But if you just use your phone for calls, texts, some general web browsing then I would say no, as the 6 is just fine on iOS 10
Personally I would upgrade but thats also because I'm a power user with my phones.
One other thing is the 7 Plus significantly faster than the 6s. In comparison, the iPhone 7 has less refreshes and is quicker in opening applications and multitasking.
Another thing the average consumer doesn't know is that the 32GB flash storage on the iPhone 7 or 7 plus is a lot slower than the 128GB models, the flash storage on the 32GB 7/7+ reads similarly to the 64GB iPhone 6s/6s Plus and also writes a lot slower, so perceived average speed differences will be identical on these devices or maybe even faster on the 6s/6s+. Not sure about the new 32GB iPhone 6s model though and how that compares.
Why do want to upgrade?
That is an excellent reason!For me the biggest Problem is the battery.
I can't work one day with it. Max 8hrs.
I could buy a batterycase, but I don't like such a huge case.
I don't think the storage speed difference between 32 GB and 64 GB would really be noticeable short of writing really large files to the device, and even then we are talking about some seconds that most won't find all that worthwhile of a difference given that most would likely rarely if ever even transfer that much data.When pushing the devices, i.e. processing a 4k video in iMovie, yes I agree with you - but these differences are not significant.
Even when pushing the 6s today, it is still surprisingly fast and for general use I've found them (6s and 7) to be about the same speed on iOS 10 even when loading some heavier applications, or even faster on the 6s in some cases during *general* use (I believe this is most likely to be due to the A9 overall being faster than the low powered cores in the big.LITTLE architecture of the A10)
I would still recommend the 6s as an alternative to the 7 if one wanted to upgrade the 6 for more speed since much of the specs between the 6s and 7 are either the same or marginally better, and there are additional features that may be subjectively advantageous to a consumer to pick one model or the other, like the headphone jack or cheaper price in the 6s vs water resistance or better speakers in the 7.

Not sure about the new 32GB iPhone 6s model though and how that compares. But if you are choosing which iPhone to buy over an older 6, and a 64GB 6s is available cheaper than a 32GB 7, then it might be helpful information for those people when choosing which phone to get, and if there are other things the 7 has that make it more attractive or worth the $ difference.
I upgraded from the 6 to the 7plus due to technical issues with my 6. I am happy with the larger screen, and find it to be a bit faster than my 6. Not that noticeable.
I never experienced a "Wow" moment with the new phone. Not that big of a difference. I do appreciate the larger screen size though.
The missing headphone jack is a bit of a pain. Wanted to plug into a few things on occasion but have to remember to bring the "dongle". I have experienced a few "oh crap I forgot the dongle" moments. I have a couple of music players and about three pairs of headphones. One being a pair of hi end Grado headphones. I do not have the need or desire to add another pair of (wireless) headphones to the mix at this point.
Personally if your 6 is working fine, wait for the next model. Not worth the upgrade in my opinion.
I second this opinion.
Stay with the 6. The 7 is a hassle for not enough noticeable difference.
HAHAHA no I just got the 7 plus and it's a massive upgrade from the 6.I second this opinion.
Stay with the 6. The 7 is a hassle for not enough noticeable difference.
Problem is, that my battery is dead.
So I changed it, bit didn't solved the problem.
Ok, I bought a not original one. But the problem is the same as with the original one.
I did a reset to factory settings and calibration. But no solution.
Now I don't know what to do.
Wait for the 8 and buy now a smart battery case or buy a 7 or 7+.
Of course there are differences, just the fact that one has double the RAM along with a faster and more powerful processor is enough of a difference between a 7 and a 6, and that's not talking about various other things like camera improvements, for example.you probably should not , as i know , the iPhone 6 works nothing different with iPhone 7 /
i think you can update to an iPhone 8 Later

Well, you can say that they look similar, but they are certainly not "almost the same" in many other respects. As far as things go when it comes to stability and reliability then either one is essentially fine in that respect, with the newer one probably being somewhat better simply because it's newer and has more up-to-date components that are more powerful.I meant i just want a stable and reliable phone , and i hate to compromise to Android
to me , iphone 6 and iphone 7 almost the same
