iPhone 7: To Upgrade Or Not? Answer Inside!

apple iphone 7 review

The biggest question most people were asking BEFORE the Apple iPhone 7 launch was, should I, will I be upgrading?

Well, if you’re a SmartPhone Photography freak the answer is a resounding yes, but only if you can upgrade to the iPhone 7 Plus with its amazing dual-lens. This could be the best SmartPhone camera ever, but we will have to wait for more detailed and extensive reviews before we can confirm that.

As Mark Sullivan of Fast Company reports, there are many compelling reasons to upgrade outside of the new camera with their f1.8 aperture lens.

In comes the new A10 Processor, and out goes the 16GB model, (did anybody buy that?) and the headphone jack. Apple’s Phil Schiller delivered a very compelling pitch for the newly announced AirPods. Verdict? It’s the future of SmartPhones. Get with it.

Maybe you had to be there. Maybe not. But when I attended Apple’s event in San Francisco today, the new iPhone 7 line looked a lot better than the leaked specs had us believing it would—especially the iPhone 7 Plus.

So the question we ask with every new phone release—should I upgrade?—is more complicated this time. When the iPhone 6s appeared last year, I had no trouble advising people to get by without 3D Touch and Live Photos, and wait another year to buy.

But this year is different, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. “Internally they have put a lot of interesting things in there,” IDC analyst Tom Mainelli told me after Apple’s press event. “I think if somebody was on the fence, I would have no problem advising them to upgrade.”

Apple iPhone 7 Launch Day, Confirmed September 7th

If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for the launch of the new Apple iPhone 7 so you can rush into your cell phone provider and upgrade, then your wait is very nearly over!

September 7th has been announced as the official day for the launch plus, we will likely see the new Apple Watch 2 on the same day.

Here’s what to look for. Absolutely NO headphone jack, storage capacity up to 256GB, the obvious faster A10 processor, AND it looks like a precise, pressure responsive Home Button will be incorporated into the iPhone 7.

To get the run down on all the (virtually) confirmed and rumored updates, including new camera specs pop over to CNET and join Justin Jaffe for a full and comprehensive rundown and video.

August 29, 2016 update: Apple has made it official: something’s happening on September 7 — and it’s most likely the debut of the iPhone 7 (and the Apple Watch 2).

As was rumored for the past few weeks, the company will indeed be hosting an event on the first Wednesday in September; we now know it’s scheduled for 10 a.m. PT and going down at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. This puts us on track for a likely retail release on September 16 or 23.

Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect from Apple at that September 7 event. As a reminder, these range from official reports from anonymous sources to flat-out rumors and educated guesses:

In recent years, Apple has alternated annually between major design changes and minor upgrades. That’s expected to change in 2016. The overall consensus among analysts and rumor-mongers, supported by many unofficial photos and videos leaked during the past few months, is that for the second year in a row we’re likely to see mostly modest, superficial changes — call it the “iPhone 6SS,” if you will.
