The iPhone 7 is a great smartphone you probably shouldn’t buy

That’s what most of the reviewers seem to think about the new iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, which has good features but nothing that could really justify leaving a perfectly fine iPhone 6s/Plus for these.

The differences are clearly there for iPhone 6/Plus users, but everyone seems to be not that convinced to recommend the new iPhones even though their scores are 9 out of 10 points on average. 

That doesn’t matter. Not because almost everyone misses too much the headphone connector (Ars Technica, The Verge, Mashable), but because this is the perfect transitional device

Every review seems too anxious not about the iPhone 7, but what will come with the iPhone 8

The iPhone 7 is competing with a phone that even doesn’t exist. The problem is, it will lose against our imagination everytime
