In my opinion, the difference between the 7 and 6 is not enough to upgrade unless you become dissatisfied with the 6. Now, if they offer you an iPhone 8 at no cost, I’d say do it.

I recently was contacted by my phone company to upgrade my phone. I am using a eye phone 6 and they said that I could get a eye phone 7 for 0 dollers. Since I have payed off my phone I am wondering what others thoughts are? Since my phone is working fine right now for what I use it for witch is mainly texting, e mail, kik, fb messenger etc. From Mich.

I also advise my clients similarly. Unless the new models have something that you absolutely must have, I would stick with your iPhone 7 and wait till next year to see what Apple offers up. I am currently using an iPhone 7 running the iOS 12 beta and it’s working just fine.
