    It does what I want a phone to do

    I recently switched back from Android to iOS. Got a great deal on this 256gb iPhone 7. It was the same price as the base model and I have way more memory than I'll probably ever need. Things that I like or maybe even love about the iPhone 7: great phone, Goldilocks size (just right), stability, fingerprint reader that reads and doesn't make me hold up the line when making mobile payments, beautiful construction and normal timely software updates. I realize that Apple normally doesn't have bleeding edge specs, but the phone just works for me. That being said, I am not a tweeker, a hobbyist, or a customizer. If that is your personality and you are willing deal with the reliability issues that occasionally pop up with that philosophy, there are some nice Android handsets out there like the Pixels and the Galaxy phones.

    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.

    Battery life is fantastic and plenty of space for apps, photos, and movies. I will never understand why Apple removed the headphone jack though.

    Upgraded my phone to the iPhone 7 (Red) because I liked the color, lower monthly payment cost for the 256GB (compared to my 126 6S ipohone) and Best Buy had a promotion of 1250 points. Picture quality is better than my 6S. No issues using the connector piece for my headphones, just a pain to unplug my headphones and plug in my charger, but that's a minor inconvenience.

    iPhone 7, My best phone yet

    I have had one other iPhone, a 5S. I had it for 3 years, and it was great. Now, the 7 is my companion. With little concern, it holds my day in its comfortable form. I did have to get a case for it, because it is so thin! It was hard to hold and type at the same time, without it sliding in my hand. I love the Jet Black, even with the case. Which is clear. The camera is phenomenal! There are minor differences I had to adjust to from the 5S. But that is true of most of the phone's functions. I chose the 256GB size, because I download a lot of video and music. I have had no issues with storage, or memory to run apps, either. I cannot recommend this phone more highly. Until my next iPhone, I hope!

    I used the camera for the first time at Christmas and the way the live pictures move as you scroll added a great dimension. Lots of memory for the price. I'm not a fan of the new home button because I can't click to open and check alerts while wearing gloves although I haven't played with the sensitivity option. Overall, I love it!

    Everything about this phone makes me smile: the color, response time, photos, fingerprint ID to order apps, download speed, clarity of small type, and the ability to easily view any attachments. And it is a great phone, too. With this monster memory I plan to shoot lots of video.

    Had to order this to get the color and storage I wanted. Apple has continued to improve the phone since the day of my iPhone 5s purchase. While the phone is a little larger it still fits in my pants pocket even with a cover. Smooth Apple operation and updates as usual.

    Perfect upgrade from my iPhone 5

    I finally broke down and upgraded my phone. I loved my iPhone 5, but after almost 5 years, the batter was shot an I didn't want to chance being stranded without a phone on vacation. The 7 is a massive upgrade compared to the 5, but the form is not too bulky compared to the Plus model. The cameras on this phone are amazing compared to the previous gens and I can't even explain how much faster the processor is compared to my old phone. If you're looking for a new phone, and don't want to wait for the 8 coming out in September then this is the phone for you.

    I upgraded to the iPhone 7 and am very pleased. I think the camera is much better than the iPhone 6. The fact that this phone has 256 GB of storage is great. I've put a lot of songs and photos on it and it hardly took up any storage room so far. It looks like the same size as the iPhone 6. I used the same case from my old phone and it works. The speakerphone seems louder and has better clarity. The new Siri feature is nice where you don't have to touch any buttons to get it to work. All you have to do is say, "Hey Siri" (after you set up your own voice in the settings) and it comes on. That's a nice feature, especially when your hands are busy. Also, the home button has a different feel to it and there are three possible settings for it. I am not completely used to it yet. Overall, it's a nice phone and I'm happy with it.

    Coming from a 5s 64gb to a 7 256gb is like night and day. The phone is better in almost every possible way. The 256gb is a dream come true since I can finally put all my music and apps on my phone without worrying about storage. The one negative is of course the lack of a headphone jack which I find to be inconvenient but not a deal breaker. I would recommend this phone to anyone who is constantly running out of room on their phone.

    I was excited to finally upgrade from my iPhone 5. The iPhone 7 has not disappointed. I picked up the 256GB in the red, and not only is it a good looking phone, but it's a nimble, efficient full-on computer in my hand. The newer features improve the efficiency, and are also fun to use. I have many more tips to learn, but that's part of the fun in exploring this device. Above all, I value the security and continuity of service above the other brands in the market.

    I just upgraded from an iPhone 6 and I am really happy with it. One of the biggest things I like is that I went to the 256gb model this time. I am able to download music and store lots of it on my phone to listen to even when I don't have wifi and don't want to use my data to stream music. I can do the same thing for movies for my kids to watch when we are out and about. I also like the high quality camera on it too.

    I agonized for months about what iPhone would replace my ancient iPhone 5.Would bigger be better? Was a Plus my best option. Black Friday gift card sealed the deal with the rose gold iPhone 7- it felt "right" from the first time I used it. Processes are smooth and fast.Some features seem intuitive. The increased screen size enhances web seaches, reading e-mail, etc. A little bigger, for me, was definitely better.
