Opinions on iPhone 7

[grubjpeg]

Anyone got an iPhone 7 in here? Does it worth buying? i can't decide which one to go with: iPhone 7 or Galaxy S7 Edge

Grub,

I've elected to skip this model, unless photos are a big deal for you then I don't see a compelling reason not to wait for the 7s or 8 which should offer the curved display that the Edge has.

As to whether to go for an Edge or an iPhone, what do you have currently? I would have though most would know if they prefer Apple or Andriod at this stage.

One thing I have been told about the iPhone 7 is that the lack of headphone jack is not an issue, and with the adaptor one barely notices.

I am currently using Sony Xperia Z3. It is a great device but a bit out of dated.

I don't have experience with Sony phones, but it looks like that was released around the time of the iPhone 6 two years ago and was their premium model. You should therefore see a reasonable uptick in processing speed, camera and battery life in moving to either the iPhone 7 or the Edge. Imo the main reason one would choose Andriod over Apple at these high end price points is that you are an intense user who values the far greater customisability of Andriod where Apple is relatively restrictive. If this doesn't concern you then Apple imo will give you a smoother more intuitive experience, normally with greater device security.

Yeah, the price for S7 Edge is 15% less than iPhone in here.

P.S What is your old phone and current phone, Henry?

I've got a Nokia Lumia Windows phone - why don't you get one of those?

[Henry_17]

I've had iPhones for a few model cycles, currently a 6 which is a similar age to yours, had a Galaxy note X prior but can't see myself going back to Android unless Google take better control of the ecosystem, dictatorships are optimal in Smartphones in my view!

I am curious how do you transfer the data when you got a new phone? this annoys me when got a new phone.

There are many apps or software can help transfer data from Android to iPhone or iphone to Android like Move to iOS,Mobiledic Phone transfer and others. For contacts, just try Google Gmail.

You can also transfer everything via the cloud when changing or upgrading iPhones.

I'm thick technically but managed to do this a couple of years ago.
