Sil:

iPhone 6S. I might make the jump to a Google Pixel when I'm due for an upgrade next year.

EDIT: Work phone is an iPhone 6. I never knew how much I enjoyed Force Touch on my 6S before my job gave me the 6.

Wow! Is force touch really that useful? It came across as a little gimmicky to me when it came out though :/

 

Just upgraded to the iPhone 7 Plus. Was due for a free upgrade and Verizon had a special promo over Black Friday weekend, received a $100 credit to my bill. :) It has a better camera, battery, and processor, but honestly, nothing much different from the predecessor.

FYI -- gloss black is all nice and dandy but it leaves nasty smudges on the back of the phone!

Wow, that's an awesome deal! Yea i'm currently using an iPhone 6, was thinking of switching to the 7 but the lack of the headphone jack is just...ugh. How are you coping with the loss of the headphone jack?

 

Also upgrading and looking at the Oneplus 3. Friend has it and it seems like a pretty good deal, like the old Nexuses used to be.

Pros: 6 GB RAM, $400 price, they have this charger that gets you 75% in 15 minutes, all other specs are basically up to par with flagship phones

Cons: Camera apparently has issues with video stabilization, screen is apparently not as good as other phones but I can't tell the difference

 

I don't know if you're serious, but some of those older/cheaper phones are fantastic for their sole purpose of calling/texting. Battery life is absurd, they are indestructible, and they get the job done. Bought a "crappy" phone when I studied abroad, and I could make it probably five days before the battery died.

 

no Razr.. just some super durable flip phone .. three years in and I only charge it every other day.

first semester senior year at university I broke three smart phones.. I literally could not afford another, so I got a flip phone. Not having GPS or being able to perform a quick google search sucks, but getting off social media has been awesome. It's incredible how much time people spend on their phones

edit: it's crazy how presumptuous people are when i break it out though. Just the other night some drunk lady at the bar started yelling about my "Obama" phone,

 

iPhone 6.... know that samsung and android are much better, yet for some reason stuck in apple rut. Even picked up new wireless headphones for eventual upgrade to 7

 

I followed the smartphone releases pretty close this year so this might help: First decide if you want iOS or Android. If you go for iOS its simple: either get the iPhone 7 or Plus depending on what size you like. For Android I would suggest to get the Galaxy S7 or Pixel if you got the money, both are solid phones. Don't bother with the Edge, for now it can't justify the price. If you are on a budget though, get the Oneplus 3T.

FYI: If you're on a budget and want a smaller screen, you can import the Xiaomi Mi5 from China like I did. Incredible smartphone for the price, but for most people the hassle isn't worth it.

 

iPhone 6s. Not upgrading to the 7, there's almost no difference. I have a blackberry bold for work though, and it feels like I'm going back in time whenever I use it.

iPhone 7+. It's not great in terms of new features. I would say other phones are better (Samsung if you don't get your leg blown up). I'm on the upgrade plan, because I think the next model will actually be an upgrade over the current model.

Realizing that the headphone jack vs charge port is an issue since I listen to music at work.

...
 

Current phone is ass, but I'm planning on getting the OnePlus3T. It's the quality of your average Nexus, iPhone, Pixel but for half the price. I chose Android in general because the phone isn't locked from the user to modify like apple's phones are. I can install third party apps, save pdfs at different places, download music instantly from my phone (without the crappy apple music) etc.

 

I have a personal 7+ and a 7 for work.

When the 7+ came in the mail I was like shit this thing is huge and was a little torn about it, I bought it off the internet without going in and looking at it. But after a few months of having it, every time I pick up the 7 I feel like I'm holding a child's toy it's so small.

The 7+ is the perfect size for games (Boom Beach), watching Netflix on flights because I travel every week (now that you can download things), and for browsing the interwebs without having to carry around a tablet and a phone.
