    Well if you ask a self-contradictory question...

    I didn't ask which phone's best though, did i? :P

    I asked between two very specific phones. :wink:

    Yes, that is an option I hadn't considered.

    You are (at least a bit of) a politician - I give you 2/10 for not spotting when someone doesn't want to answer your question so attempts to replace it with one that suits them better ;-)

    I ditched my iPhone 6 for a oneplus 3t. Not helpful I know but the iphone battery was going and I didn't want to fork out £800 for another that just hasn't moved on for far too long. In fact I am thinking of divesting myself as far as possible from apple given the silly costs etc. ;)

    I've got both, 6S for my work phone and 7 for my personal phone

    The differences are minimal IMHO, the headphone issue hasn't bothered me. I leave the apple adaptor attached to my headphones at home, it's a bit ugly as a solution but i can live with it. I don't often use the apple earbuds but keep these with me when I'm out and about. I like the idea of the waterproofnessicity as i have dunked 2 phones in the past

    I got the 7 as i figured by the time the contract has finished they will be on iPhone 9 or so (and also to annoy my Mrs as she had just got the 6S)

    I've got a 6 Plus for personal use then a 6s for work. Work phone seems a LOT faster/better than the personal phone. Not sure if that's just because its old and well worn though.

    I'm due for an upgrade for my Iphone 6.

    The big question is, do I go for an Iphone 7, or an Iphone 6s?

    I'm not interested in non-Iphone phones - I've had plenty of them in the past and I've made my decision.

    The issue is mainly around the missing headphone slot.

    I use my own earphones (currently shure se215s for anyone who cares), and regularly jump between my old fashioned I pod (a classic with 160gb space) and my phone ( for listening to podcasts etc). I'm not really in the market for a pair of bluetooth earphones, nor am I fan of the apple ones provided.

    However, I could have course go for a bigger Iphone 7 and fill that up with everything on my I Pod.

    So the real question is, headphones aside - how much better is the Iphone 7 over the Iphone 6s?

    Has anyone used both?

    Edit: i know there's a cable/apendage thing for the Iphone 7 for headphones, but that strikes me as a PITA.

    do you like size of 6/7? I got fed up with the 6's slipperiness and fragility so I have a iPhoneSE which is easier to hold and more robust.

    really depends on what you want really, for myself I ring/message folks check bus/train times and use as sat-nav once in a while.

    any work I do on the iPad

    Wife just got an SE.

    I'm quite happy with the size of 6.

    No, I hadn't made it. I just saw that one was there but couldn't be arsed to go the whole hog. Thought it was a lazy enough joke anyway that it probably didn't warrant a punchline

    Myself & partner have SEs, which I find quite adequate for my failing old-age eyesight. Much easier to get in your pocket. If I want a bigger IOS device, use an iPad mini

    On a really low-tech change of subject, have a Cat B25 Dual Sim for long bike rides & general mtb'ing in the wilderness - ruggedised, waterproof & with 2 different P&G Sims, you "should" be able to get some sort of signal in most places.

    Interesting that people are mentioning the SE - that's what I'm thinking of moving to next having had a 4s for a few years. Seems like people are quite happy with them if you don't need the bigger screen of the 6/7
