Is the iPhone 7 Plus dual-camera system worth getting the larger iPhone?
In previous years, the slight camera upgrade in the Plus model, never was a strong enough differentiator for me to upgrade the size of my iPhone. After all, 4.7 inch is the right size for me. Anything bigger and I'd need a man purse to carry it around.

For many, including yours truly, doubt started settling in. But after watching the event and going though Apple's website, I'm not sure the iPhone 7 Plus dual-lens camera system is actually worth it.

Apple stops reporting opening weekend sales numbers for new iPhones
An Apple spokesperson has confirmed to CNBC that the company won't be reporting opening-weekend sales numbers for the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, giving the publication a funny reason for the unexpected decision: due to demand outweighing supply, Apple feels that first-weekend sales stats are “no longer a representative metric” for investors and customers when it comes to iPhones.
To me, that sounds more like Apple management aiming to pre-empty any further fallout in case launch sales are not as high as Wall Street analysts like to predict.
Apple execs go on PR offensive to defend removal of “dinosaur” headphone jack from iPhone 7
Apple's marketing honcho Phil Schiller said during yesterday's iPhone 7 keynote that the company has had the courage and vision to remove the ubiquitous 3.55 mm audio headphone jack from the handset in a forward-thinking move that has allowed its engineers to cram more hardware features inside the handset than ever before.

iPhone 7 is water resistant but liquid damage is not covered under Apple’s warranty
Apple's new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are the first dust and water resistant iPhones with IP67 protection, meaning they're 100 percent resistant to dust and sand and should survive being submerged in about a meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The devices have waterproofed components like the buttons, the chassis and the SIM tray.
Plus, they most likely use gaskets and seals like other water resistant phones. But if water does make its way into the device and damages it, don't count on Apple to replace it at no charge because liquid damage is not covered under its warranty.
