Hi guys,
I'm due for a new phone... I'm not quite ready to switch to android though... Although in 2 years time, I'll probably make the switch...

My next iPhone... I hate the idea of no earphone jack... How are people going with the iPhone7...???... I misplace earphones, but we always have several sets floating around, so I know I can grab any ear-piece set...

Should I get a new iPhone6 and save money, or should I dive into a 7... Big Screen or little screen... ???
I'm happy with my current iPhone6 (standard/smaller size)...

I assume the iPhone7 comes with head-phones? To suit the charging port...?

Stick with the desk top at home, if you can't leave the internet at home, you're a lost soul, all you need is a cheap flip phone for emergencies only.
Sorry, I hate questions like this.

Big advantage of the iPhone 7 is its waterproof so you can take it kiting if you do a big downwinder and not need a cover.

Yeah nah Mr. dinosaur I like having a camera with me. And a video recorder. And a GPS. And all the music ever recorded. And a watch. And a tide chart. And a weather station. And and and...

Simondo have a look on banggood or gearbest at the latest Chinese phones, the specs are right up there. You might not want to spend Apple money for a brand name. Eg

Thanks guys (thanks to a few of you who were actually constructive!)...

I chose the iPhone7 Plus (Large). I forgot it was water resistant, plus the better camera quality, were the deciding factors for me.
By the way, they come with "Charger Port Earphones", plus the adapter which I can fit to a second pair of earphones, so up front, I effectively have 2 sets, which I am happy about....

I got a 4s, still available for only $120 from aussie ebay seller. If I had the money I would go the 7, I hate the corded earphones, always catching and getting pulled out of my ears.

Correct, 4's and 5's are still very good phones....

I was tempted to just "sit" on my existing 6, and maybe get a new plan. But, we needed a phone for Nona (grandma / mother-in-law), so my son gets my 6, and Nona gets the 5, and I get the new 7...
