    I am an android user (sony and nexus) who switched over to apple due to havin a lack of software updates and spending 600 each year on a new android phone. I'm about a month in to the apple iPhone 7, a few adustments since the apple has unique features like the settings, the home button, the cámara and apps. The pros: amazing cámara quality, finger print recognition, iOS is simple to use, can still download google apps and the battery life lasts the whole day with all day usage, the best is that 2 years from now I won't be forced to update because of lack of software updates. Cons: google backup did not work for contacts and pictures, the price is steep but deals are constantly offered, the home screen has all your apps, there's no back button at the bottom of the screen. Overall great phone and value.

    The first iPhone 7 (256GB) rose gold I got was a dud, in that it had software issues. I was a little concerned it would happen with another iphone but I exchanged it for a red iPhone 7 (256GB) and so far it is a super smart phone. My last phone was the iPhone 6 with 32 GB of storage and it was easy to fill it up with music, photos and videos, so 256 GB storage is great. So far it seems the iPhone 7 seems faster and more responsive than the 6. Also, the battery life is much better. I am still trying to get used to the center button feel since it's changed from the iPhone 6. There are three choices to see which one you like better for the center button. The new Siri is cool becasue you don't have to hold in the center buttonl. All you have to do is just say, "Hey Siri" (after you set it up with your voice) and it is responsive. I like that. The sound are crisp and the speakerphone works great and you can hear the caller perfectly. Also, the photos seem to look better than the iPhone 6. Overall, it seems like a great phone and I'm happy.

    Near-perfect phone

    Love my iPhone 7. In the months I have owned this phone it has functioned reliably in a variety of conditions, and have been able to load every app, video, podcast and e-book I could possibly want with no memory issues. The screen is reasonably large and bright, but this phone is small and light enough to stuff into a small fabric carrier for long runs. Water resistance has meant no worries when getting caught in the rain on these runs. The camera has been excellent; the appearance of my photos has never been better, often markedly better than what was possible with my prior phones. Battery life is amazing; I no longer bother to carry a battery back-up at all. The dongle needed to use my favorite earbuds with this phone on long runs is light and functions well; loss of the 3.5mm jack seems like a worthy engineering trade-off.

    The iPhone 7 is now fully water-resistant. The camera takes better photos, especially in low light, and adds the optical image stabilization feature. The battery lasts a little bit longer -- sometimes it's notable, other times it feels just slightly better than the iPhone 6S. The processor is definitely faster, but last year's iPhone 6S has more than enough speed for most tasks and games. Great new Jet Black color, although it leaves marks, fingerprints, and scratches easily. No headphone jack (but there's a dongle and compatible wired headphones in the box). Click-free home button takes some time to get used to.

    Upgraded from 5s and happy thus far with the iPhone 7. I chose to upgrade only because my iPhone 5s battery life was losing duration the older it got. Otherwise my 5s was in great shape and had the newest software upgrade. I decided to take advantage of the 12 month financing through Best Buy and bought the 7 256gb. I've been using it for 2 months now with no complaints. Great battery life. Size of phone screen fits my lifestyle. I haven't missed the headphone jack yet as I utilize Bluetooth speakers and headsets. Don't forget that this does come with the adapter.

    I love my new iphone 7. It stays charged MUCH longer than my iphone 5 did and takes much less time to charge. I love that I don't have to buy all new charge cables and other accessories since they both take the lightning cable. The camera is great. My only complaint is that the Bluetooth sometimes skips when I'm listening to music in my car. The music plays just fine when I'm listening through the phone itself, but when I have it play through my car stereo via Bluetooth, it has a tendency to skip from time to time like a scratched up CD. It drives me nuts! My iphone 5 never had that problem, so I'm not sure why this phone does that. I would give it a perfect 5 stars if it weren't for the Bluetooth issue.

    This is my first upgrade since I got my iphone 5 four years ago. The storage capability, crisp camera and video, and haptic button are awesome. I have not had any problems with battery life, reception, and can take better photos in lower light. The size of it took some getting used to, but it was a quick adjustment.

    I'm an apple guy. Why? Because their products are intuitive, consistently well made and integrate perfectly with other products. The iPhone 7 is no different. It is fast. Takes great photos. Has good battery life. I take it everywhere and trust it whenever traveling.

    I like it, but if I can just add memory to my old Samsung android - I better choose android. Why? Well, first, it has "return" real button so I don't have to guess how to get back to previous page by looking for tiny arrows on screen... which not always appear, actually. Second, when you typing or browsing, on Android letters bigger and arrows too, so it's more easy to navigate. Third, iPhone freezes a lot and pretend there no connection, and GoogleMaps doesn't work well, like , have some glitches when I using them on iPhone, which doesn't happened on my Android. Fourth, instruction how to use Samsung android phone is better, along with phone be more intuitive understandable. So, overall, iPhone faster, has bigger memory and may be brighter screen, battery holds much longer than Samsung android phone... but Samsung phone more easy to use, intuitive navigation I can say.. I don't know why letters and navigation arrows always so small on iPhone products, but it a big issue, preventing many folks with less than perfect eyesight from getting iPhones.
