Anyone got one yet? Any opinions?
I upgraded from the 6 to the 7 plus, surprisingly it came yesterday despite being told October delivery.
I'm liking it so far, it's not a revolutionary change but has enough new features to keep my interest. The battery on my 6 was horrendous so I couldn't justify keeping it and waiting for the possibility of the 8 next year. Battery on this seems to be a hell of a lot better, for instance I've had it on for 2 hours so far, including playing Pokemon Go and listening to music and I've only lost 6%. May not be the best in the world but it's a lot better than the 6.

The camera is awesome, the optical zoom feature is so crisp, even in low light, really impressed! That's the main reason I got the 7 plus, I use my phone for most of my photos now so having a better camera is always a plus for me!

Ehh it's decent. The main thing on it I see as a selling point is the camera. And like everyone else I hate the audio jack missing and the headphones.

Still debating whether to use some of my student loan on one

Yeah the jack tho. That's a pretty big deal breaker.
But the camera qualty is snazzy.

I probably won't get an iPhone 7 ever because of there's no headphones jack. Big letdown from apple to be honest.

Plus how would I even listen to my music while driving if I can't connect an auxiliary plug to it anymore? :sorrow:

I'll be sticking with my 5s for a while and when the time comes, I'll only upgrade with the 6.

Exactly! That's basically where all my data goes. I don't think I could live properly without my driving music.

Youll be able to plug the Lightning cable in and listen that way. The bad news is that you'd need to buy a new plug. Another bad thing... It won't charge and play music at the same time. I know I charge my phone in my car a lot while I drive here or there so having to decide whether to listen to music or charge my phone.... Ehh.. I don't like that.

All my other devices are wireless or Bluetooth- my speaker system in my mouth, headphones, small speakers I can take around with me. It's just the car. Ugh

My phone is also charging most of the time when I'm driving, so it would definitely be an issue not to be able to charge it while listening to music at the same time... Sadly, my car doesn't have a bluetooth system to play music so it's out of the question. I'm pretty satisfied with my iPhone 5s to be honest anyway... It's not like I feel the need to change it anytime soon either. I feel like the iPhone 6 would fit my needs more than the iPhone 7 if I were to change my phone in the future (while waiting to see what Apple decides to do with the next iPhone to come out next).

I got the seven because I needed a new phone (the battery on my 6 was shot) and I told my dad to choose between the 6S and the 7 because I didn't care...and he's a tech maniac so I HAD to have the newest one. Idk why he likes buying my phones all of a sudden, all through high school and part of college I always bought my own.

I'm pretty excited about the change. Wireless technology is, logically, the next step. Soon it will be the standard.

I won't upgrade my phone quite yet since my 6S is still perfectly functional, but I will definitely be purchasing either the AirPods or the Powerbeats 3.

From what i heard so far mostly 50/50 in the review area ill stick with my iphone 6+ which i love :)

I like new tech but i don't feel like iphone 7 is worth the upgrade.
