I actually lost my iPhone 6s last week and luckily I decided to wait for the new phone announcements in the hopes of getting a replacement for a cheaper price.

So now with the price drop to RM2749/3249 i'm thinking of getting a normal sized 7..

Couple of questions for the sifus here - I thought they were increasing storage for the base model to 64gb was there any announcement on that? For anyone using 32gb, how much is there actually available for photos, apps etc - is it enough, have you ever regretted buying the lower memory?

TBH the 6S has also dropped its price to RM2249/2749 and I was happy with my old phone until I lost it. Was it ever worth the upgrade to the 7 in your opinion?

I'm not hunting for the 8 as I need a new phone now (4 year old nokia is not going to cut it) and I don't feel like I need to upgrade every time they release a new phone...

so which one to get guys?

It's a lot for someone who doesnt prioritise handphone purchases!

Thanks for the views.. I thought about what i actually used my old iphone 6s for... fb, work email, whatsapp, line, web browsing, office apps, GPS, some light music listening and thats about it.. i dont think the bionic chip is going to improve my user experience substantially. Cant wait 1 month for release to pay more for the same thing while i use my rm600 4 year old Nokia-its too painful lol!

Im probably going for the 32gb 7... but will be pissed off if they change their base unit to 64gb in the mean time

I would say getting the iPhone 7 is the best bet you can go now.

iPhone 8 has got not much diff than iPhone 7 other than the new processor and wireless charging. If you can wait further, iPhone X in my opinion is a better buy.

Since you require a phone to use now, I would advise to get 7 over 6s for the reasons that a faster professor, water resistant, and more future proof.

Thanks for opinions everyone- Just picked up the 32gb 7, already like the more consistent touch id compared to my 6s. I'll be happy with it for at least 2 years.

Yes standard retail price from shop - didn't want to waste time messing about with online ordering etc... Nothing to do with mint condition of my phone but I always thought that the touch id on my 6s performed poorly in high humidity situations, or oily/wet fingers.
