Apple iPhone 7 Plus review: Hail to the king, baby!

For me, the iPhone 7 Plus is one of the best handsets that I have ever had, might not be the best handset on the market but that is my opinion. The design has not changed since the 6 series handsets but I liked the design & the introduction of the black & jet black handsets have made a difference. What ever happened to iconic design? Why does the design have to change year in year out? Sony have never really changed the design of their phones but no one batters an eye lid to them!
Yes, there are better screens out there but I have no issues with the way that the screen works on my iPhone. Galaxy screens do pack more brightness & better blacks though.
The camera is amazing! When zooming in it is still clear & gives very good colour with hardly any grain, simply superb!
The speakers are very clear & a lot louder than my previous 6 Plus, not on par with the HTC M8 or M9 handsets, but a step in the right direction.
Even there is little difference from the technology used in the screen of the iPhones the 7 Plus seems more responsive & accurate to press.
Definitely a lot quicker using day to day apps & tasks but I feel the Touch ID is a little to quick as a very light single press on the button unlocks your phone.
& for people (SAVOR!!!!) who continually say that you need iTunes & a PC to set the phone up & get your data from, I have had my 7 Plus for over a week now & I have not yet had the need to plug into iTunes & I have all my music, apps, messages, contacts, pictures & settings that I had on my 6 Plus.

It charges with 5V/1A for 4 hours (which is quite long) and provide 75h endurance.
Using 2A charger reduces that time but what about the battery life? If battery is not compatible, using higher amperage charger reduces the life cycle.

Saro, 13 Oct 2016I'm not buying it certainly. Does it mean that I should not... moreDude, my current device is an S7 Edge. No, I don't use an SD card with it and I don't need it, I use a few cloud services instead.
If you want an SD card device, for whatever reason, go get one. But stop jabbering about it and polluting reviews about products which have omitted it, because their target audience is not interested in it. Apple doesn't do SD cards, or FM radios. Neither does Google. Get a life and move on.
Cheers.

Thanks for your kindness. Enjoy your device

Why are you wasting your time blabbing about something most people (at least the ones I know) don't care about? Jealousy? No life? No girlfriend/boyfriend?

Why dont you ask apple to stop selling 256GB so that they can move on with times.
SD card speeds are constantly on the rise for the past 10 years and tit is projected that they have more such years. You are blinded by your support for apple.
It is just one of the ways for apple to fleece a lot of money for a small incremental memory bump.

Then why apple sells 256GB version? 32GB should be more than sufficient for internals and other memory requirement could be handled by your favorite cloud right? I wish you take this cloud argument to people buying the 256GB version and get their opinion.
SD card is handy for me to move my data from old phone to new, to PC with SD card reader, to double up as a pen drive, in addition to serving as an off-shelf memory.
