Ahead of the launch of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, many media sites were given a chance to go hands-on with the new devices. In general, reviewers thought the devices were "terrific" and offered a great foundation for the future, but most didn't think they were an essential upgrade.
The Verge, for example, says non-adopters "won't actually be missing out on much," while Mashable's review was a bit more favorable, calling the iPhone 7 a "worthwhile upgrade" and highlighting the ultra fast processors, the battery life, and the stereo speakers. According to Mashable, the water resistance is "pretty awesome" and held up well.
TechCrunch wasn't a fan of the new Taptic Engine, and said it makes it feel like the entire bottom half of the phone is clicking, but the site praised the cameras, calling them the "best portable cameras ever made." TechCrunch also saw significant scratching on the Jet Black model, even after just a week of use.
MacRumors also went hands-on with the iPhone 7 Plus and shared some of our first impressions of the device. We're fans of the impressive camera and the new Home button.
