I bought the 7 plus sim free to upgrade my 6 and I'm really pleased, I was sceptical about the size but I'm gutted I didn't get a plus sooner, due to the screen being bigger the keyboard is slightly bigger making it easier to type from memory of where the letters are, media viewing on YouTube etc is much better and the quality is improved drastically, gaming is easier due to the enlarged screen, I'm really pleased and you won't be disappointed if upgrading from an old model iPhone.

What is the iPhone 7 Plus? Apple’s latest phablet takes the familiar iPhone formula and tweaks it once again. It’s not going to wow you with a new design or massive innovations, but the iPhone 7 Plus is a great phone. It offers everything the iPhone 7 does – speedy performance, water resistance, loud speakers, great cameras – but adds some clever features that in many are more important than flashy specs. On the other hand, the 7 Plus costs a small fortune. The weakened pound means this is the most expensive iPhone we’ve ever seen released in the UK. If you’re dead set on an iPhone, though, this is the one I’d recommend, not least because the iPhone 7 Plus’s battery life is excellent. Related: Best Smartphones to Buy iPhone 7 Plus – Design The shape and feel of the iPhone 7 Plus is very much like that of the two versions before it. It's big – properly big – especially when you add a case to it. Yes, it has an expansive screen, but it's the iPhone 7 Plus’s height that makes it a handful. If you haven't used a phablet before, it's worth testing out first. I found it takes about a week to get accustomed to a larger phone, but I wouldn’t go back. There's just so much more you can do with a screen this size, but some will struggle to use it easily. plus 7 In other respects the design has been refined a little. The antenna bands that strapped the back now curve across the top and bottom edges of the phone. On the back there's a far more pronounced camera bump. There are two brand-new iPhone 7 Plus colours to choose from and both feel very different. The first is Jet Black, which has a slick, almost ceramic, feel to it. It looks fantastic, it's grippy and it's the colour I’d choose. There are a couple of catches, though: you'll need to polish it regularly to get fingerprint marks off it, but more worryingly it marks with fine scratches a little too easily. If you do choose it, you'll need to treat it with kid gloves to keep it looking its best. What is the iPhone 7 Plus? Apple’s latest phablet takes the familiar iPhone formula and tweaks it once again.

Oddly, though, it doesn't have the same grippy texture as other iPhone colours, which means it's a bit slippery. I wouldn’t use it without a case, but when you’ve seen as many smashed screens as me, you’d use a case for any phone. Those alterations are all cosmetic, though. There are three really important changes of which you should be aware when it comes to the 7 Plus. The first is that it's water resistant to an IP67 rating. That means you can submerge it in up to 1m of water for up to 30 minutes. It's a great addition to the iPhone – especially if, like me, you've accidentally dunked phones and ruined them in the past. plus 19 Read full review

I must say, being a gadget geek, you want the best and newest of everything that's out there. Having being hesitant in getting the 7 Plus due to mainly the size - I bought one - best thing I did! The battery first-off, is brilliant. For the size of the phone, I usually get on average 2 to 2.5 days battery for 'normal' use. That includes FB, 'some' youtube vids, Twitter, net, couple of games per day. The camera, is sublime. Clear with genuine 2x zoom thanks to the telephoto camera as an addition on the back. The 4K recording is crisp and clear, and looks really nice on my Mac. It's a fast phone, no lag. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

Great improvement on 6; 4G, better camera. fingerprint security, Apple Pay and lovely bright screen. Only drawback is the size; easier to read text but too large to fit in pocket safely, needs wrist strap or handbag. Otherwise I am very pleased with it.
