Not another flaming camera comparison. It's a totally moot point, no one chooses between Apple and Android based on the camera.

I'm sure in the keynote they said IPhone had the best camera In any phone..

I'm sure your statement would have been different if the iPhone won that comparison test :p

I for one was only going to move to iPhone 7 if the camera and battery were better than the s7.

Will hold out for the 7 plus tests
 
Likewise, I'm getting less inclined to upgrade now from my 6S.

Wasn't mega impressed with the 7 camera compared to the S7 in that vid.

Will see how this whole speed thing pans out and more camera tests.

I didn't even watch it so, until reading that, I had no idea who won it.

The two are so close as to be irrelevant from what I can gather. Maybe if one was massively superior then it would make a difference but they're not.

Maybe I should have specifically said no one would choose between an iPhone 7 and a Galaxy S7 based on the camera alone.
 
I can't see why anyone would upgrade from a 6S to be honest. Even if I had a 6 I'd think twice. Unless you specifically NEED one of the new features, such as water resistance maybe, there's just no point.

That's the thing. If I was on a 6S+ I wouldn't even think of upgrading to the 7+. But I'm on a 6 (not 6+) and I can't really bring myself to buying a 6S+ when the 7 is out....

Also 32GB is perfect storage size for me but 16GB is too little and 64GB is too much which is another disadvantage to buying the 6S+ now.

And better battery on 7 but ofc no god damn 3.5mm port.
 
I like the upgrade from 6:p (but yeah I had to think twice only because they haven't changed design or the screen resolution/OLED)

6S had big jump in processor power compared to 6 and now 7 goes even further, so the difference between 6 and 7 is quite large.
2GB is another needed upgrade. Camera, probably not that big difference between 7 and 6S but between 6 and 7 it's going to be noticeable.

Water resistant + stereo speakers + faster touch ID is a nice bonus:D
 
We've travelled 220 miles to Exeter for a 11:00 - 11:15 reserved appointment to pick up a 7 plus on the upgrade program only to be told that the system is down for processing the applications, they're not sure that it will be back up today.. ****ed off is an understatement, only took me 3 hours 45 mins to get here.. :'(

This post is a wind up I take it? Surely no one would do that just for a phone, not even as a YouTube spoof? :p
 
Had a quick look at the 7 plus today. Next to my 6s plus I wasn't that impressed with the screen. It's better, but nothing drastic. The new home button is an improvement. Seems like less of a jump in advancement outside of the camera once fully updated. I'd feel like I'm buying a phone for water resistance :D

Got a Spigen glass screen protector. They don't have the curved ones yet but that is probably because the curved ones have coloured plastic in places which covered cover things. I'm sure they will be out very soon.

Guys do you know a way to transfer all my text messages to the 7 without doing a restore? I fancy a fresh start with everything except messages - I thought it might pull them from the cloud but they still seem to be local?

It should work straight away. Mine has all my messages from the last phone.

Just been looking at some reviews on these. Some people have said they are a bit smaller than the actual screen?
 
I've got a 7 jet black on order but am very close to cancelling. iOS 10 on my 6 has given me some new features and I can't get over the disappointment that the 7 looks like my 6. I will give it a few more days thought but it's looking like I might be skipping this gen of iPhone and waiting for the next version to arrive.

That my though too

So the reason you're both not getting a new phone is just because it doesn't look any different to a previous model, is that right? I'm not trolling you for a reaction, genuinely interested to know. For me, the fact that the form factor is identical to the previous model is a big plus point as good specific model mounting cradles for the car are expensive!

It's not identical, the camera protrusion is massively different. Might not matter for a car cradle if it doesn't cover/hold the top of the phone but means all cases for the 6/6S won't fit the 7.
 
True enough - My phone slides very snugly into the Brodit mount and the camera bulge has no effect on it. In fact the mount was originally bought for the 6 plus, not even the 6s plus.
