Wow! Two whole people?!
If the 7 Plus is included in this conversation, My 7 Plus is great and I'm glad I got rid of my 6s Plus for it. I'm not the only one who thinks so, either.
I watched his review video the other day and I don't agree with a lot of things he says. It's his opinion but he point blank denies the significance of hardware. That's just wrong.
Example on point - Apple removed the headphone jack - meh, use an adapter, crappy battery life - meh use a battery pack... I mean WTF?! Tomorrow they'll remove the speakers, meh, use your own external Bluetooth speakers.
I used to follow Chris a lot back in the days but I think he has kind of lost the plot these days.
Are there such a thing as bad ones
oh yeah, we do have them over there...they mostly sell them to tourists

Ah, the gullible people. I wasn't thinking of that *****
So far I'm very content with my JB7+.
In fact it's been largely flawless to the extent that I have no real complaints.

I was worried about phablet fatigue selling my 6s+ after having 6+ too and tried 7 for a week (32 was all that was available at launch) before finding a 7+ and returning the 7
LOVE it. Perfect compliment to my SE
7 and SE felt ... Weird to me.
Also was worried about quality control issues but lucked out first shot on this one

I never fully adjusted to the new home button when I had the 7. I prefer double pressing the home to multi task instead of using 3D Touch, and that never felt right.
I have no problems with doublepressing the new homebutton. It feels and works great.
My iPhone 6S Plus was also perfect but I still found a reason to upgrade to the 7 Plus.

Same here. I have no issues with it.
It's not that I have an issue with the home button, I just like the actual button better. If it felt like be MacBook force touch trackpads it would be perfect.
I also jumped from 5S to 7 Plus Matte Black. And I share the same opinion as you. I didn't find it too big because I always had an Android phone as a backup.
It's just a perfect phone for me now. Great camera, brilliant screen, superb stereo speakers, insane battery life, no more clunky home button.
And the lack of headphone jack bothered me at the start but not anymore.
Kudos.

I am actually surprised how well the home button was accepted by a lot of users. I was slightly unsure if I would like it, but after using it more and more, I don't miss the 6s Home button. Also, adjusting the haptic feedback was a nice option for a heavier haptic to the home button.
Took me a couple of days to get used to the larger screen but I haven't looked back since. Photos on this screen look beautiful. It's definitely harder to press the apps at the top of your home screen but that's what we have two hands for.
I can't fault the camera yet. Even taking a selfie makes me look good! Didn't expect a front 'flash'.
Good to hear other positive experiences. They've perfected a brilliant phone and it's a joy to use.

Keeping the headphone jack and adding wireless charging would make more sense in my opinion. The world is not ready for the elimination of headphone jack yet (I have trouble while switching back and forth from my iPhone 7 to my mac or to my workplace desktop). And wireless charging is a must have feature nowadays I don't understand why is Apple not adding it as it has the NFC technology as well. (If you are getting rid of the headphone jack at least add the wireless charging feature to balance its efficiency??)
I know some people do but to me honestly there no major reason (nothing exciting)to upgrade

If you get a good screen imo worth it alone.
I like the matte black and stereo speakers too
Bokeh effect nice too on 10.1b2
