The iPhone 7 Plus is the best iPhone money can buy, hands down. Like the iPhone 7, it's not an essential upgrade if you have an iPhone 6s Plus that you're happy with, or you want to hold out for the 2017 iPhone, which will be the 10th anniversary and, rumor has it, the big switch to OLED .

Dual-lens camera takes great photos; Longest battery life of any iPhone; Water-resistant

No headphone jack; can't charge and listen to wired headphones at the same time

The iPhone 7 Plus's dual-lens camera and long battery life give it the edge over the iPhone 7.

The interesting thing is that until now, Apple has stuck steadfastly to a two-year design cycle (apart from the very first iPhone which was a...

Apple's latest smartphones are the culmination of many years of design, feature and component refinement. Each element of its devices are built and developed in unison with the rest.

Update : Our iPhone 7 Plus review has been updated with iOS 10.3 information and a preview of what's to come with iOS 11. We also updated our best iPhone deals page. Apple's iPhone 7 Plus is more than just a bigger iPhone 7 – it's a markedly better version of Apple's newest flagship smartphone.

It's not revolutionary, but the iPhone 7 Plus is great phone.

Beautiful screen; Unique camera; Solid battery life; Class-leading performance; Potent speakers

Expensive; No headphone jack; Largely unchanged design

The iPhone 7 Plus is, of course, Apple's large screen version of the iPhone. Unsurprisingly, it is in many ways identical, or at least very similar, to the lower cost and smaller iPhone 7.

The iPhone is an almost universal standard; very good performance overall; a pleasure to use; good fingerprint recognition; good battery life; optical zoom on camera

Fairly expensive; entry level memory a bit limited given it can't be upgraded

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 devices are still divisive. I think they are - but mostly for the iPhone 7 Plus, not for the iPhone 7.

Dual cameras; Copious memory and storage; Water-resistant design; Faster on all performance measures, with better battery life, than last year's iPhones; iOS still leads on high-quality games and creative apps

BosseTheMan have everything right in what he writes. Android has had in many years. Increases, however, the grade a bit of quality and atleast my battery life is better than any other Android phone I had / tried / buddies. Have 256GB model, but should not be any difference.

The 9th generation of the iPhone also leaves a good impression and remains one of the best premium smartphones you can get. Still, you notice that the iPhone 7 Plus is an evolutionary update. The revolution is expected for next year, which will be the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.
