now you're just make assumptions. theres no obvious difference if you already have a 6s. and theres still a headphone jack.

The 6S is stupidly faster than the 6, and the 7 is significantly faster than the 6S.
You're clearly in denial because you're sad that your phone is relatively outdated, and I'm really sorry about that, but for God's sake stop lying to yourself. There is absolutely no way that an app loaded faster on a 6 than on a 7. The 6 was an abortion of a phone performance-wise and used weak aluminum, along with all units shipping with the "touch disease" defect.
Nobody's going to run to the Apple Store to replace their iPhone 6S/7 for a 6, so you can spare some energy and end your crusade here.
I can't speak for everyone but I know the software run home button has locked up for people. My wife also has touch input freeze up and lag more often then should be expected. I'm hoping it's simply software issues but I told myself that about the iPhone 6 plus too and I hated that phone. My bad for keeping it.
Wife's in a spot where she could just hand it back to tmobile for an iPhone 6s but the bill goes up due to how they work credits. Couple bucks but still... need to see if a Genius Bar appointment nets us anything but that likely can't happen until after the holidays.
As for me, I do personally prefer the original button (even when both working normally). But it's not something that woukdnbe the deciding factor on a return.

From a day to day I can't tell the difference between a 6s and 7. It's been a while since we had a 6 to compare so can't comment on that.
I'm not talking specs and/or benchmarks. In just talking loading apps, videos, games, etc. it's all basically the same. /shrug. We have a 6s, 6s plus, 7 and SE in the house. That little SE never ceases to amaze me though it shouldn't. It's essentially a 6s shoenhorned into a 5s lol
I realize the person you were responding to had some more extreme examples, but I figured I'd chime in with mine.

So without reading all 550+ replies, I offer another opinion. And please keep in mind these are my opinions only.
iPhone 7 to expensive relative to what you get
No headphone jack (so now I have to spend more money to listen to my music?)
No display issues in my case, my 6S looks fine
64G is plenty for me (32 not enough and 128 WAY more than I need)
Didn't like the way the home button worked on the 7 vice the 6S
Speed, side by side, is a wash as far as the few apps I use
It is coming down to the point that between no updates to desktop computers, laptops that aren't really updates and prices to high, and costs of iPhones getting to be so high, and iOS updates that seem to have emoji's as the prime selling point, I have to wonder, is this the last year I upgrade my Apple gear and start looking elsewhere when it's time to replace items? Apple is taking their goods in a direction I don't care for and charging way to much for them.
Having used Apple gear since the IIe and PC's since the 386/16, It really feels to me like Apple is entering a "Vista" like phase while PC's are finally entering a "it just works" phase. Time will tell.

True. What is also true us that most phones in 2005 weren't media consumption all in one devices either
I came from a 6S Plus and I'm on a 7 Plus now. No way I would go back. The extra ram is welcome addition. The sound is so much better and it made me watch a lot more movie trailers. The battery life is great. I use Bluetooth a lot and the improved chip is really nice.
I don't see how some one would go back to a previous model if money really wasn't an issue. It wouldn't even be on your mind or occur to you.
I think that if money was an issue and was at a time where I shouldn't be upgrading, then sure I would be second guessing my purchase and thinking about returning it. If money wasn't an issue, it wouldn't come to mind.

in this thread: people in denial that their older iphone is inferior and cannot cough up the cash to upgrade, so they keep denying, defending, and rationalizing that their older iphone is better than the 7. there have always been people like this for every generation of iphone/any gadget ever made.
End.
End.
I agree with you on this, I just purchase another unit of iPhone 7 Plus & confirm the iPhone 7 Plus screen is inconsistency.
My previous 32GB version and now 128GB version display panel color is total different.
- 32GB version is slightly tended toward blue. (this panel viewing angle is much better where nearly no color shift in side view)
- 128GB version is slightly more warmer. (this one slightly color shift in side view)
