    iPhone 6 to iPhone 7 Upgrade

    Would love some feed back on those who have upgraded from an iPhone 6 to the iPhone 7. Was the upgrade worth while or has it been a minor upgrade seeing as the phone looks very similar? Is the extra processing power noticeable in day to day tasks ie non gaming?

I'm firmly in the camp of it'll be a 7S and you should set your sights to 2018 for the completely new redesign. But do you think they'll drop...
