Yeah don't get me wrong but i like the jet black color more than matte black :confused:

There ya go still a reason, style and removal of antenna bands below the camera

I feel funky fresh with gold SE And MB 7+

No more prototype-y looking phones (like space grey 6+/6s+)

I've had my matte black iPhone 7 128GB since day one. I've come from the 5S to this.

Having used it now for some time, I just wanted to say that I can't fault it in any way. It's amazing.

The screen is beautiful, the smooth feeling of the body is so so nice and matte black especially has a candy-like feel/look.

The new home button is addictive. I love pressing it. I tried my gf's 5S the other night and the button felt very cheap.

What do I like? Everything. The new iOS, raise to wake, iMessage, battery life, the notification screen and all the rest.

They've basically perfected an already near-perfect phone (6S).

Same here!! I came from a 5s to a matte black 7 plus!! SOOOOOO much better than the 5s! And thats saying a lot becuase i loved that little 5s. I agree with you....the 7 and 7 plus are perfect :)

People are saying "Apple is expensive for no reason"... well.. they have no idea.

Apple is all about 1. software 2. style 3. quality ... I can't find any other company with all three, maybe
Microsoft in forseeable future.

I am using 6s 64 GB and I've tried S6 Edge and others.. but nothing in comparison with iOS 10 and Apple style, quality .

Coming from a 5 and 5s, 7+ is awesome.

the ip7 is more janky than the 6s my advice keep your 6s. as of right now it's a better overall phone and im not the only one who thinks this
I traded in my AT&T Next iPhone 6s Plus 128GB for a AT&T Next iPhone 7 Plus 256GB. Saving me $7 per month.

The 7 Plus is great. Faster than my 6s Plus. Better color screen, better cameras, very very happy with the new phone. Can't say it's perfect. For that, Hey Siri needs to respond correctly when I ask it for tomorrow's winning lottery numbers. So far miserable fail on that score.

Only thing I find janky, is the guy in the video. Does anyone else find his mannerisms and diction more than a little janky and irritating. I couldn't watch him to the end.

He used to be better back in the days but recently in all his videos he basically reiterates the same thing over and over and over and makes these weird faces. I used to follow him but not anymore. His videos have no substance other than him moaning about things.

Good thread. People complain about insufficient updates. Yet, the modern smartphone is something near perfection. I don't mind when someone wants something particularly different. But most of the gripes demand unspecified changes and without a stated purpose.

He got interrupted by a toddler a little ways into the video. Going by experience, I'm guessing he's been sleep deprived for a good long while now and running on coffee and adrenaline, especially if that's his first kid. ;) Been there, done that. :cool:

That is his first kid but he went all crazy even before the kid. I think he has lost the plot to be honest. I don't know who still watches him.

Agree... this list would make iphone a perfect phone.... until it has a $3000 price tag that only the rich can buy. a perfect phone that no common man can own. then people would complain its price tag. in the end, it is still not a perfect phone.
