Suggestions on Why I Should Keep My New iPhone 7

[bufffilm]

Not true. I need help with backing up data, phone won't turn on, can't get restore to work.....All problems.

Buyers remorse and a thread about it, first world problems.

But those problems you list are all 1st world problems.

Granted...a little more gravity than buyer's remorse, but still 1st world problems. Just observing...not judging.

Phone makes your life simple

Not to some! Some spend their time freaking out about their battery or a dead pixel or worst, the amount of battery your phone used overnight!

Especially when you consider how crucial someone's phone is today, it's literally their lifeline. I can understand when someone panics and the fact how much it can cost for replacement or repair.

Honestly, I still have a weird bit of buyers remorse on my 7+. My 6s was perfectly fine. I also really didn't need the better camera, more RAM, or the bigger screen honestly.

I just try to see it as a step up. What are the positives for you? For me, it's the better battery life that my 6s didn't have. It's the way future iOS versions may take better advantage of the extra RAM. The phone is black, my favorite color and it reminds me of the blue 5c I love. It's water resistant so I'm less nervous using it out in bad weather or in the bath.

You've got the regular 7 but compared to the 6, it's a really decent upgrade.

This. Describes me, going from 6 to 7. Nothing is outstanding but every little thing is more efficient and improved upon.

I had that buyers remorse too initially and then it declines over time. With the iPhone 7 it wasnt long before I accepted it as being worth the cost. I switched from an Android device and use to change them often every few months coz they were cheap. So I'd sell them at almost half the price and then buy another new device on the market, but when I added up my loss in a span of year or 2 it comes up to alot. So I figured I'm buying this iPhone that might cost me almost triple what an Android device might cost but id be keeping it for about 2 years and it would still hold substantial value at the end of that period.

I suggest you return your iPhone 7, and keep your 6 until it breaks. Sounds like you would have buyers
remorse buying any phone.

Just go with it. Every 2nd year people are unhappy with the "incremental" upgrade, but then cry every other year when they change it.

I don't ever get the "wait for the next one" argument. There never will be a perfect iPhone and if there was it would be the last one. When a product is meant last 2 years but is updated every one year it's always going to be fairly incremental as they need people who are locked in a contract to still be able to use everything

Why not sell the old one to recoup some of the expense? That's what I'd do. Next year at this time I'd rather have the one year old model, not the three year old model.

I just got my new unlocked iPhone 7 on Saturday the 4th and loved it when I set it up and using it while at work later that night. My previous phone, an iPhone 6, lasted me since I bought it on contract from AT&T in November of 2014 (so it is paid off). I have bad cases of buyer's remorse whenever I buy something for myself, even groceries sometimes, which has led me to already request a refund from Apple for the phone just because I kept thinking about my old phone (still use earbuds with the 3.5mm jack). I know both Android and iOS in terms of how to use them, but I chose the 7 because I am slightly invested in the ecosystem and Apple does have good support for devices in terms of software updates and other areas. My 6 is still a good phone, though I have changed the battery myself in it very recently.

So I am wondering if anyone has their own suggestions on why the iPhone 7 is something to be kept and see the positives that outweigh the remorse I have with it.
