I have a 6s+. Have to admit, I'm kinda skeptical a bit on whether to upgrade to 7+. If not for two features.
The major and first reason is the performance. A10 Fusion (+3GB RAM) brings with it:
- 40% faster CPU + 50% faster GPU (thanks to high-power core),
- 1 hour longer battery (thanks to low-power core)
Second is the cameras. Apple is first to use telephoto+wide angle lens combination which allows:
- Low light to be so much better.
- Depth of field which is very nice.
- Face and body detection.
- Much better live photos
(Not to mention now front camera is 7mp + records in 1080p)
If I do get one, it'll be in Jet Black. Yes, I know it's easier to scratch, but it looks damn beautiful and I quite like the "worn" look (minor scratches only, doesnt count dents or dings lol). I'll probably slap a clear film over it though. Plus I usually send in the device to Apple just before warranty is up anyways (for battery replacement), so resale value is unaffected.
My only dilemma would be choosing 128 GB or 256 GB. As it is on my 6s+, I'm already using ~106 out of the available 126 GB. I might be able to wing it with just 128 GB but the photos taken with the 7 would be bigger so 256 GB might just be required.
