iPhone 7 vs 7 Plus - Worth the Upgrade?

2016-09-19
what's going on everyone the Traverse consumer and the iPhone 7 hype is real so if you have an iPhone 6 or 6s we're going to take a look at some of the new features and changes to see if it's worth your upgrade so I'll start with the most controversial change and that is the removal of the headphone jack Apple moved the headphone jack stating that the Lightning port will deliver better sound and I've got a few tests in the works to see if that's true they included an adapter in the box for those of us that don't like change and so you can still bump music from the aux cord now I personally don't mind the change that much since I'm a huge Bluetooth junkie but for some of us who have a favorite pair of headphones that might not be bluetooth you might be a bit disappointed still I know a ton of companies will adapt to make headphones to accommodate this change so if this is a huge change that's stopping you from upgrading don't let it should be pretty fine and there are some great options out there I'll have a few listed down below but I'm working on a video that will work especially with the iPhone 7 now another cool change announced is the stereo speakers instead of just having one speaker at the bottom of the phone you now have an added speaker behind the earpiece unfortunately only one of these speakers are front-facing and the other kind of shoots off to the side so you're not getting that front-facing action like you'd get with the Nexus 6p or the axon 7 Android definitely has better options in the speaker department but if your team iPhone all the way this will still be a nice upgrade compared to the old speakers now for that front facing camera the iPhones rocking a new 7 megapixel camera which isn't a huge bump from last year's phone but it's a bump nonetheless personally I didn't see a huge difference in quality when comparing it to some of the older models so this feature alone isn't worth the upgrade so selfie Queens save your money the rear camera now features optical image stabilization on both the 7 and 7 plus and with the 7 plus you get an additional telephoto lens that gives you two times zoom and it's pretty nice to be able to switch between the two with the press of a button and of course you know you get improved quality if you're big on iPhone photography this is a no-brainer especially if you're considering the 7 plus one thing though is that the new iPhone is water resistant which is good news for folks who are bit careless with their phones no more having to worry about dropping it in a running sink or in a toilet arie so it's create for those who are accident-prone but also for those who just can't stay away from their phone you can use this in the shower if you need to send a quick text or even if you wish want to use your phone in the rain and honestly this is a feature that we should have seen way sooner but it's cool that it's here we can finally put the rice away and of course you've got those new colors the iPhone comes in silver gold rose gold which are standard but it now has the new black that replaces Space Gray in that new jet black for you insanely brave folks out there I'm grating for one of the new colors might be worth it as long as you don't throw a case on it or something now I don't see any reason to upgrade for one of the changes or features that we've talked about here to be honest none of them are actually stand out features but I do think as a package they're definitely a step in the right direction and pretty much where the iPhone should be so if you have a 6 or 6s really might not be worth it but if you have something older than that I do think there are enough improvements here that would make it worth it but whether you're upgrading or not there's a chance to win an iPhone 7 in my video over here and all you got to do is check that out if you want a chance but that about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be the cool guy or girl that give this video a thumbs up I'll catch you on the next one till then is your average consumer peace
