The iPhone 7 may be the best version of Apple’s smartphone to date, but it’s garnering lukewarm reactions from reviewers and pundits. The practical improvements in the new iPhone are praiseworthy, but they come at a cost. “Waterproofing and better battery life have been common iPhone feature requests for years, and the camera and speed improvements are nothing to sneeze at,” wrote reviewer Andrew Cunningham, “but you’ll need to buy into Apple’s vision of the future if you want to get them.” That vision includes a world without buttons or wires.
So my take is the Apple fans are beginning to react like a baseball team who hasn't won a major series in a while. This "wait til next year" excuse is now becoming common with Apple fans too. Oh, next years model will kill it. Meanwhile imagine what Samsung or some other maker can do by then too. I have a iPhone SE and for me it's plenty for a iPhone and actually the IOS 10 for me is the downer. I mean replacing swipe with Home button? Something so predictable as swipe is now gone is really a example of Apple making change for no logical reason. Now every time I pick my phone up it thinks I want to open up to something. Will this improve battery life? I doubt it. Might as well remove all the buttons Apple, your obsessions with thin and lack of ports and buttons is restricting real innovation. The iPhone 7 proves Apple has nowhere to really go other than gimmicky features and killing off ports and buttons.
