I purchased the iPhone 7 plus about 3 weeks ago and it certainly has lived up to its high standards insofar as performance goes, I absolutely love the larger screen and the quality and resolution is superb, great phone!

"It is the best iPhone yet", proclaimed Tim Cook on the stage at Apple's Special Event in San Francisco at the beginning of the September last year. He would be right, the iPhone 7 is, but it is not the leap of technological advancement that many of the fanboys would have liked or hoped for.

Refined design and new finishes make for best-looking iPhone to date; great camera with image stabilisation; iOS 10 makes for the most in-depth use yet; new Home button works brilliantly

More like an S version of the iPhone 6S than a total overhaul; still no wireless charging; no dual cameras feature here; no true battery improvement; no headphone jack will irk some

I'm an iPhone convert after a few days with this phone. Previously android only but love the functionality and FaceTime is fab for keeping in touch with friends and family. I was even able to transfer all my android stuff to it with an easy to use app so my photos, contacts, texts and apps all got...

Outside, the iPhone 7 is indistinguishable from previous models, inside it's a powerful, efficient machine

Great battery life; powerful and efficient

Remarkably similar to previous models; lack of headphone jack is inconvenient

There's a simple question this year: Are the iPhone 7's new features worth the headphone jack hassle, especially right now, when there aren't many Lightning headphones available and Bluetooth is still divisive?

Water-resistant design; Faster processor, brighter screen, and better cameras than last year's model

The absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack is a big hassle, at least for a few months; Not all models are compatible with all carriers; Lacks dual cameras

I'm an apple fan boy at heart so I buy everything that Apple makes. But trust me when I say this is an awesome phone. It can receive calls, send messages and allows me to refrain from making eye contact with fellow travellers on my way to work. Its great.

Had my iPhone 7 a few weeks now and I haven't had any issues. It is quite similar to the 6s which is what I had previously however I do like that it is water resistant and the lack of headphone jack hasn't been an issue

Is the iPhone 7 a case of Emperor's new clothes, or a genuinely great phone? Read our iPhone 7 review to find out.

My last phone was a 5 so a lot more features with the 7 ,bigger screen so no headaches or straining to see ,has a fabulous camera which takes Live Photos overall very happy only down is it's so big it's hard to hold and operate with one hand makes you feel like you might drop it
