Go for the 7. Pretty sure it is the same footprint as the 6s. I always preferred the smaller phone, but the camera got me this time - so I went for 7+.

Maybe. The camera is an improvement, although it's not the dual lens camera the 7+ has. I'll have to look at the cost difference.

Agreed, swipe to unlock then row after row of icons. No customisation at all. Very boring. Android all the way.

I am really somewhat surprised Apples is doing so well and this is coming from an Iphone fan... I played with the phone and it is virtually no different than my 6 with ios10 sw. I put on a new case on my phone and updated the system and it feels like a 7... granted the new camera is nice, but there is nothing wrong with the current one.

Does apple wallet work on the SE? Those are nice and compact and very similar to a 6.

Agreed on the size of the 7+, way too big for me. I got a 7 instead and it still took some getting used to.

Had mine since last Friday the 16th. Can't tell difference except the Rolodex scroll feature. I guess it's cool. Lol

6 to 7 is a much bigger jump than 6S to 7. 6 to 7 gets you the following (if you go +):

- 3D Touch (extremely useful in my experience with it on my Macbook)
- Much faster
- Camera
- Water resistance (nice piece of mind, not extremely useful for me)
- Screen Color/Brightness (I've read multiple reviews saying the screens in the 7 are much better than previous gen)

You'll need to buy a man-purse to carry it around. Good luck with that. Take some pics so we can see how good the new dual lens camera is.

Just blew $550 on an Airport Time Capsule and Airport Extreme. Need to upgrade the home wifi. Guess the iPhone 7 will wait a bit.
