I just upgraded to the 7 plus from a Samsung S6 on Monday. I agree, the camera is very, very good. I love the live photos and the portrait mode is beautiful.

I was actually underwhelmed when the phone was announced, and the lack of a headphone jack seemed inconvenient (and those ear pods refuse to stay in my ears). But, the wired headphone adapter works, and fortunately I don't charge and listen at the same time much.

So much like the new Macbook, I wonder how much these notable backwards steps really matter. With Apple products my thinking is, is it worth the switch? Most likely. Is it worth a yearly upgrade? Nope.
