Worth getting an Iphone 7 over 6s?
T Mobile offers both phones with 128gb for $99 down. I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the 7 over the 6s. Any thoughts? I'm basically done with my Galaxy S5 as it is craping out on me and I miss all my music making apps when I had an Iphone 4.
Also. Since I still have an itunes account, if I get a new iphone, can I still install those apps I previously purchased? Like beatmaker, etc.

The only downside is the lack of jack for the headphone, but it come with an adapter for that. The only thing you can't do is charge your phone and listen to music at the same time.
I think it's worth getting the 7. They aren't hugely different, but given the choice between the two, I'd do the newer one. I've been nothing but happy with mine.

If you're using it to make music or taking photos, yes. Really, I'd say yes in general - get the 7 - me, I'd get the 7 plus.Faldoe wrote:T Mobile offers both phones with 128gb for $99 down.

And your old apps should work - provided the developers have updated them as needed.

yeah. Could use BT for music, if I need to charge. I imagine Apple will release some adapter - if it's functionally possible with the 7 hardware - that allows you to charge and listen to music simultaneously.
The plus is too big for me. I guess the added processor power of the 7 would come in handy for using apps.doommeow wrote:If you're using it to make music or taking photos, yes.

belkin makes an adapter that should charge and do audio out. although i fucking love having bluetooth headphones.
perfect for walking the dog.
also perfect for not having a headphone cord getting stuck on the doorknob when i walk by.

Re: Worth getting an Iphone 7 over 6s?
I got some cheapo bluetooth headphones with a 12 hr battery life when the iphone 7 came out. I was curious about how much nicer it would be to use those over normal headphones. Not having that stupid chord dangling from my ears all the time and being able to set my phone on the charger and still be able to listen to it is great! It made me decide to get the iPhone 7+

After going to store and checking the 7 and 7+ as well as the Galaxy S7, I think I'm going to go with the 7+. After having the Galaxy S5, it's hard go back to something smaller in size, like the iphone 7.

I just switched from a 6S Plus down to a 7 but having the big phone is awesome for music apps and shit.Faldoe wrote:After going to store and checking the 7 and 7+ as well as the Galaxy S7, I think I'm going to go with the 7+.

I went for the 7+ because these phones are all already too big for my hands. So, they may as well be the biggest I can get. I just want a phone as thin as the iphone 6 and as small as the iphone 4

Re: Worth getting an Iphone 7 over 6s?
I have the 6+. It was a huge change because my last phone had been a 5, but now I'm used to it/love it and it'd probably feel pretty weird going back to a anything smaller.
And yes. Twss.

Re: Worth getting an Iphone 7 over 6s?
it took a few days but i acclimated quickly.
having the 7 feels way better when i'm lying in bed reading or browsing and i have to reach across the display or to the top of the display and my hand is too small or something. so it's nice for that.
