The Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus might not have the bells and whistles or spanking new design of their competitors, but they are still undoubtedly two of the best smartphones in the market. Personally, the dual-camera of iPhone 7 Plus is enough for me to upgrade my iPhone 6s Plus.

Which is the best new smartphone money can buy: Apple's brand-new iPhone 7 or Samsung's Galaxy S7?

Are the new iPhones improved enough to justify an upgrade?

Remember when the iPhone was exciting? When every new design and app was an event in itself? When copy-paste was a feature to line up for? Those days are gone. Now, each year's unprecedented combination of incredible technology feels ordinary, even expected. That doesn't mean the magic's gone.

The camera is worth the upgrade, especially on the 7 Plus; There's an absurd amount of processing power inside this phone; Water resistance totally changes the way I treat my iPhone; Developers have a chance to make this phone even better over time

Losing the headphone jack is going to suck for a while; I miss when the home button was a button; I already scratched the jet black model

"Is the iPhone 7 worth upgrading to?" This is the question I've been asked by friends, family and MobileSyrup readers since the somewhat controversial iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were revealed.

Sleek new colour options (Jet black and Black; One of the most powerful smartphones on the market; Taptic Engine is great; Waterproof; Camera is incredible; especially in the 7 Plus

No headphone jack (for some; this is a dealbreaker; An iterative update; Screen resolution has not been improved; Jet Black is a fingerprint magnet

The iPhone 7 is polished enough to feel new all over again, headphone port or not

No longer as allergic to water as a Mogwai; A screen that isn't defeated by bright sunshine; Camera quality takes another step up

Battery life still needs work; That Jet Black finish is a total fingerprint magnet; Where's my headphone port
