With all the complaints and a lot of whining about the new phones who else is loving their new one?

I for one love the speed and boost in ram on my 7+ and the camera is great!

Also Matte Black looks even more amazing in person!

What do you like or not like about them?

I picked up the matte black 7 yesterday, and my goodness I love it. Coming from the 6 and 6S Plus for the majority of the past 2 years it's really nice to have a more manageable phone. Especially one as gorgeous and speedy as this.

By far may favorite iPhone so far. Granted I'm coming from a 6 so there are a number of things that 6S/S+ users have been enjoying for some time.

Love the raise to wake and the new solid state home button. Got used to it in seconds. The build quality is superb, just perfect. The pictures really don't do the matte black finish justice.

Maybe it's just an iOS10 feature but I just got a visual voicemail this AM that was transcribed into text inside the phone/voicemail app window - the transcript was spot on.

And to top it off, the pre-order store pickup experience yesterday (Canada) was fantastic. In and out in 5 mins.

I love it. There was a post in here about how, without a major upgrade (siri, force touch, etc.), that it was just blah. But I am loving all the new features that I am seeing. The camera (regular 7) is great. I LOVE the matte black color. I really thought I would be wanting the jet black once I saw it, but I was wrong. And the home button is an impressive upgrade. I have been using my old 6s to move things over and the old home button feels the way the first iPhone feels - just that it is old tech. I love this phone and will....until next September!!

The jet black reminded me of the 3G too much, as much as I loved that phone at the time I don't want to go back there haha

Went from a 6+ to 7+. Love the performance, home button, and features of the jump from 6+ to 7+

Went from a 6S+ to a regular 7 and am thrilled to be back on the smaller size. While I did learn to manage the plus, it was never really a comfortable phone to use. Now that the 4.7" model has OIS and better battery life, I'm downsizing. The matte black finish on the 7 is also damn good looking!

I did the same thing. I said I wasn't going to get one because I do like my 6S plus really well. However, I love new phones, so I got the 7 today at Best Buy and am going to keep my 6S plus to use as my tablet. I often watch video and read with it, so this way I won't be interrupted by phone calls and messaging apps that are now on the 7. The 7 is so fast and the screen quality is really sharp. I don't mind the home button at all. Watching video with the stereo speakers is great on Netflix. I just hope the battery is decent like they say which was my primary reason of going with the 6S plus to begin with so I'd have a longer battery.

I'm coming from a 5s so the 7 is a big upgrade for me. Aside from the obvious (bigger screen, better camera, faster speed) I am really loving the stereo speakers and the home button. The battery life is also proving to be better... I'm at 30% at 11:15pm and charged it more than 24 hours ago.
