Anyone have the iPhone 7?

I'm thinking about upgrading and just looking to see if anyone has the iphone 7 and how you like it so far.

I have had the 7 Plus for about a week and haven't had much time to play with it, but so far, I don't really see much difference in the 6 Plus. The new home key made me nuts for a few days but it's getting better. I got the largest storage so I wouldn't run out of room on this one. I got so tired of seeing the error message telling me I didn't have enough space for pictures and apps.

@santorini

Transfer your pictures & videos/movies to your comp then burn to a DVD or store in an external drive.

Get Dropbox for iPhone. I think the first 5GB is free.

I do. I recently upgraded from a 5s to the 7. Honestly, I don't notice much of a difference. There's no spec that I go "wow" over. The home button is a bit different than before.

I love pretty much everything about it ....except the battery life. It drains fast. Has anyone else noticed?

I've had mine for a few days, I upgraded from a 6+. I'm still getting used to the new home button, that's the only odd thing to me. I LOVE the camera on this one. I had the recalled camera on my 6 plus, and even the replacement wasn't so great. I've never had such a seamless transfer of data before. I just backed up to the cloud (or a computer) and selected to transfer it all over. It even kept my progress in games, which I've never had before (my first iPhone was a 3G). My biggest issue isn't with the phone, but the operating system. I hate the new log in method. I want my swipe the screen deal back, lol!

I took this picture of my Callie today. With my 6, it would not have been so crisp from as close as I was, I've never managed to get individual whiskers before.

The camera is a HUGE update, as CERTAINLY becomes obvious from Callie's wonderful portrait.

There is a bunch of new software, notably a portrait mode, that is only available to the 7 and newer phones, and I want it.

That said, I dearly love my 6+.

We have friends who use iPhone. We've been using Tracfone but ran into problems with their customer service for my husbands new one, he said NEXT TIME it's iPhone. He uses his texting so much it's probably a good enough deal for him.

Mine was delivered yesterday and love it. Big improvement from the 6 plus I had. I love the animated camera photo feature and the animated fish wallpaper that comes with it. So cool that you can press on the image and see animation. My iphone 6 did not have these features

I go tthe super glossy black and it is beautiful. when off and/or a black background the screen and body seem to merge as one and seemless glossy black. Simply stunning.

The only bummer is you can not charge and listen to music at the same time unless you have cordless headphones but other than that it has fantastic sound quality and the camera is so much better.

I have an ipod simply because I am tired of dropping phones and the bulkyness so the headphone issue is not much of an issue for me

I was planning to leave apple and go back to android but I am so pleasd with this phone. I got the 128 GB

I think the battery life is better than my old 6 plus

I hope you aren't only storing your photos on your phone. If you are, connect you phone to your computer and transfer a copy there. If you have cloud storage, make a backup there. The best option would be to do both. Never ever store anything you can't afford to lose on a portable device.

No, I'm the opposite. I have my photos stored on a computer, a flash drive, snapfish, and on CDs. I just didn't want to delete anything off of my phone. I enjoy being able to pull up photos and videos whenever I want. I shouldn't have a problem now. Thanks.
