  I absolutely love my IPad.I bought it last year & regret not taking the plunge a few years ago.

  I have a Samsung Android phone.It’s pretty good but I’m considering upgrading to the IPhone 7.I know there are 2 newer models but their price points are just to high.

   For those of you who have an IPhone 7 any thoughts would be appreciated. I’m not too tech savvy, so I need something easy to maneuver. Thanks!!

I love mine!  I was really hot first to upgrade to the 10 or X then my son-in-law talked me out of that.  So then I thought about the IPHONE 8, but decided not to get it (I'm normally not sensible like that....go figure).

 

So if I can work these phones, I'm sure you could too.  People ask me how I know so much about the latest gadgets.  

 

Here's what I do.   I hold up my pointer finger on my right hand.  I say, "See this?.  This is how I know so much.  I take this finger and touch and see what happens.  The phones are next to impossible to break".

 

Please don't worry about it!  Get one, you won't regret it.  They are very, very difficult to break.  Believe me, I know this!

I never had a smartphone until this past April. I bought the IPhone 8 and love it. It is expensive but I felt I wanted one that wouldn't be outdated in a few years and am paying per month with no interest. Next on the list is an Ipad. I have the Kindle Fire which I've had for over 3 years and feel the need to upgrade. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Thanks @Annabellethecat66  My son got the 7 last year & loves it.But he’s young & can maneuver through anything. I’m like you I try things out.As long as it isn’t complicated I can handle it.

 Unfortunately,my DH as educated as he is, finds the smartphone a challenge.Atleast twice a week I have to help him retrieve something he accidentally trashed.Lol! My son says he has brain freeze when it comes to technology.Lol!!

  I think I’m gonna take the plunge as soon as I can make it over to Boostmobile.

My old Samsung died back in September and I decided to go with the new (at the time) iPhone7 plus. 

 

I love the phone!  it's very easy to use with lots of great features and if there is something that I can't figure out all I do is go to YouTube and there will be a tutorial on whatever issue I have.

When I bought my iPhone 7, the 8 had just come out.  I opted to stay with the 7.  It's been going strong ever since.  Perfect for me. I'm not one to rush out to get the latest.  This one will serve me for quite some time, I believe.

@NicksmomESQ, my first smart phone was iphone 6+.  I bought it in 2014 and I am still using it.  I love the bigger size.  Very happy with my purchase and it has served me well.  If you can manouver on the ipad, you will be fine with the phone.  I am sure you will love it!  Good luck with your purchase.  LM

 

PS, when I got the phone, I got Apple Care.  I am not going to do that again.  I bought the Otterbox phone case, have dropped it many times, no problem at all.  LM

I have Iphone 6S - love it - mostly size which is not humongous (sp) and fits nicely into my pockets or crossbody small purse.  I also have an IPad Air which I love.
