You get used to it but I'd go 7 if I were you since it's less of a jump. My wife weighs like 105 soaking wet and she's had no,problems with the 6.
I forgot to reply to you earlier. If you are just going to trade it in, literally use any screen replacement from Amazon. Get one with Amazon prime in case it doesn't work at all and you can return it. As long as it turns on they will not notice anything
Tempered glass feels amazing. Not quite as nice as marked but it's really close. Zero response reduction though
I lived in LA and do Craigslist all the time. Just meet in a police station or a Starbucks. Somewhere public

I am worried about fucking up the repairs and a lot of screen replacement kits on Amazon have low ratings ~3 stars.
Anyone with experience of replacing iPhone screens, I could use some tips.

i ordered black in the end. i really do like the white front. think the home button looks great, but that black is hard to pass up.

...hate me...
Really the landscape mode in the + is rather useless imo. Just makes me lock the rotation more often, which in turn will get me annoyed more often when I play a video and it won't rotate and Apple still hasn't bothered me to put a button in the video player that will override the rotation lock setting, unlike the Youtube app.
You have to make at least 10 payments on the lease before becoming eligible for an upgrade. BUT call sprint and see if they can waive that for you. They can be quite flexible
Most of them are low ratings for quality or stop working at a later time. As long as yours works when you take it in that's all that matters. If you don't think you can do it though then maybe its not a good idea. But it's pretty easy, look up the steps on ifixit
Does anyone know if you can switch credit cards during the upgrade problem on Apple?
Problem is one person's card does quite have the credit clearance for 2 new phones (around $220 first payment) but I can offer to pay the first charges after which they remaining monthly balances can be handled by my brother and his GF ($64 total monthly).
I tried calling/chatting but shit was strained yesterday.

I've been using them on my 6s plus. They seem to work fine.
The glass screen protectors feel nice and don't seem to cause any issues. The only thing is that since the screen is rounded it leaves a bit of an edge. I've used them religiously for the past few iphones. They were great on the 5 series since it was perfectly flush with the front of the phone.
Since I have Apple care as well I was actually thinking of going protection less since the replacement is only 29 bucks for the screen under Apple Care now.
That's what I was thinking of doing as well. I'll also be on iUP, so I feel like I'll get a new phone next year regardless and not have to worry about resale value. I've never gone without a screen protecter--EVER. Screen protectors are ~$20 at the Apple Store so the cost is negligible compared to the $29 replacement fee. I wonder if you can tell a difference once they replace a screen. I know non-apple replacements can leave a different tint.
Does Applecare+ limit you to just 2 screen replacements a year at $29? Plus the accidental coverage?

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
If I get a case, it will be between these two. I really can't decide. Both look really elegant. But then again, they're expensive as hell for a case I would probably rarely use.

I would definitely go with storm gray but I'm the subtle type.

Mine is the $1 Rinkge from Amazon. The Max one.

I had saddle brown for a while and loved it but it does get a bit dirty in my experience. Grey looks good but I think it looks horrible anywhere else (cars, wallets) so I thought I would get tired of it.
So I went with black again which was my main case for the 6. Can't go wrong with black.

Unless you really really want the Apple branded case, third parties also make great cases.
For the price of 1 of the Apple cases, I got 3 Spigen cases:

How did you get the case for $1 ? While not my style, I looked up that one, but it's $14.

I'm going with the saddle brown for the silver iPhone but for the black I think the grey case fits a little better.

It was $1 with a promotional code that reduced it to $1. That lasted for a few hours.

I didn't like how thick my current cover is and I never really drop my phone so I'm going simpler this time.

Otterbox Symmetry is what I'll be getting. I currently have one on my iPhone 6. I've dropped my phone more than I like to admit, but there's been absolutely no damage to my phone.

That's a good look, but just a heads up if you don't know, the midnight blue cases are a lot darker in person. Almost black. And they become black over time.

Same. I drop my regular 6 all the time. Kind of nervous about hanging onto the 7 plus.

You sure the camera cutout will work?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Yup!
Case on my original and my 3GS. Haven't had a case or screen protector on the 4S and every single iPhone since. Never had a broken screen.
If you have a form fitting camera cut out on iPhone 6, 6+, 6s, or 6s+ then it's not gonna fit a 7 or 7+ even though the phones have the exact same dimensions aside from the camera cut out.
There is no camera cut out for the phone wallets. Is essentially just a sleeve that protects the phone from other objects in the pocket.
Same here.
Although my 6s is actually scratched and dented... which is part of the reason I'm upgrading. Repairing the 6s would cost about as much as the upgrade, and T-Mobile didn't mind the current condition of it.

Yeah I was thinking same thing. Should give us an option for beast mode.

That's the old case. The new one has metal buttons, no black plastic around the camera, and an 'etched' Apple instead of stamped:

Those look nice but how good is the drop protection?
I've always gone for Otterbox Commuter cases, even though they're $50 a pop. They've protected me against many a drop.

Nice, it looks even better now.
I've been using the Apple Leather cases since the iPhone 5, and they are super nice.
Slim enough, but offer pretty great protection. Plus, the leather gets a nice distressed look to it after time. For me, it's worth the money. The cheap ones from Aliexpress just aren't the same. Right off the bat you can tell they are inferior just by the touch.
I'm opting for a Storm Grey myself.
