^ Yup

Also, Google Photos can backup your photos to your drive. Storage is unlimited if you opt to downgrade the quality of pics and vids just slightly.

My 7 comes next week. 128GB will be nice. Now I have to find a case for the thing, because they're not giving these things away.

iPhone needs to get with it and simply allow micro SD storage. That's what I love about Android. Not only can u add a micro SD but you can allow it to actually be adoptable storage versus external storage if you prefer. That basically takes the capacity of the card, say 128gb and literally adds it to whatever came internally with the phone natively. This versus having two storage locations., One for card and one for phone.

I hate that you can't recharge the phone while using ear buds now. Very inconvenient for a frequent traveler like myself. I'm thinking about passing, and seeing if I can hold out till the 8 comes out.

My 6 still runs great.

My 6 does everything I need. I may grab a S when someone throws one up on here. I'm perfectly content with this for now. Thanks for all the new info.

I got the new SE this year and am very happy with it. The nature of my work makes a larger phone impractical.
The deal is still tempting, though.

I certainly couldn't get the Plus, and I even find the standard version to he borderline too large.

There are already inexpensive solutions available, adapters that plug in and allow both.

I'm using Beats2 wireless earbuds and they are fantastic. Great sound, comfortable, and about 6 hours battery life.

I prefer wired ear buds, for several reasons. Do they have solutions for that? :think:

I searched high and low for a brand new 5s the last time around that I needed a phone because I loved the size. I finally got it and the SE released maybe three months later. I really don't get the point of the oversized phone. I'm constantly in and out of cars and I've cracked an oversized phone screen just having it in my pocket.

Seriously though, how does anyone fit a plus-sized iPhone in a normal jeans pocket, though?

Stop bragging. There are lots of people with plenty of room in their front pocket - or so I've heard.

Blasphemy!!! Please report for reeducation and your apple koolaid.

I just replaced my 5 with a 6S plus, should have waited a month. I initially thought it was too big but now that I'm used to it I can't go back. I gave the 5 to the wife to replace her Samsung and can't get over how small the screen seems in comparison.

Back left pocket.

I was against all the plus sized phones too. Use one for a day or two and you can't go back. The 6 and lower feels like a phone for ants.

My bro and his wife have a 6+.
The MF can't even put it in his pockets, he has to carry it or she puts it in her purse. I don't get it at all, it takes away the most important thing about a cell phone, the convenience of having it with you.
Just get an iPad mini and a phone that fits in your pants.

I'm excited to see the screen upgrade from 5s-7. I know it's a little bigger and I'm ok w that- I also know the resolution is better as well and I can't wait.

Coming from an off-contract iPhone 5 I should be champing at the bit for a new 7 or 7 Plus but I'm not. I may even see if I can stretch it another year (if software upgrades remain compatible) and wait for the 8. It just took iOS10 without a hiccup.

I'll upgrade from a 6s within the next year. No rush.

I was in an Apple Store year day afternoon and they were at least 50 employees still there. They had lines in the morning, but by 2pm the iPhone 7 crowd had slowed down.
