Apple recently released the iPhone 7 and I wanted to fully review it and see if it is really innovative enough to justify getting a new phone. Sure you have seen the highlights from the commercials but do you really know what is under the hood compared to the iPhone 6 series.
Before we dig into the comparison, lets see what Apple has to say about their new phone first in a recent video release.

As you can see above there is not much difference at all between the two phones. This may be one of the smallest upgrades in the history of major smartphones. Apple better get more innovative during their next launch or I think they will be in trouble with their users. I highly recommend to stick with the 6 unless you have a free upgrade or want to give another company a chance to win you over.
