Re: Plus or standard.
Sieghard, Several reasons. The biggest is space. I currently have a 128 gig iPhone 7, and have used just under half the space. I don't want to pay a premium price for the 256 gig phone when I know I won't use all that space. If Apple had kept the 128 gig size, I'm still not sure I would upgrade. I can think of other reasons too, such as the wireless charging. True, the 8 can be wirelessly charged, but you have to buy the charger extra. I understand they aren't ready from Apple, but it seems cheap to sell me an expensive phone without the fancy accessory. Also, there's not much that really jumps out at me about the new iPhone 8. This way, I can get the 7 Plus tomorrow and save a little money on my monthly payment, verses waiting an untold amount of time to get the new thing that everyone will want. There is also the issue of the monthly payments though. On AT, the currently monthly payment for the 7 Plus is $32. Whenever that is reduced because it is the old phone, it will be even less. Verses the new iPhone 8 Plus, which is $45 per month. Jmt, Wayne On 9/13/17, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: > Really, you are changing from a 7 to a 7 Plus?

RE: Plus or standard.
Really, you are changing from a 7 to a 7 Plus? Why not at least get the 8 Plus if you really do want to upgrade for battery life, at least then you have wireless charging and you can charge your phone while using a headset without having to use a splitter and all that. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 8:59 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Plus or standard.

Mary, I'm with you. I have a 128 gig 7 from last year, and feel like I'm being strong armed to get the 256 gig phone if I want to upgrade. I am switching carriers though from T-Mobile back to AT, so I will be upgrading, but to a 7 Plus for the longer battery. More than that though, I will be on amuch better network with way better coverage. So though it is not anew phone, the 7 Plus will be like a new phone for me.

Not this time. I saw the prices in a table in an article I was reading. And the 256 model is definitely more than I paid last year for 128. I can't remember the numbers naturally.

Everybody is different, I don't even bother transferring any music to my phone any more unless I really wanted some during a long flight when I usually listen to an audio book.

Thanks Mary and Sieghard for that. One of the main reasons I want to get the larger phone is battery.
