WHY I’M NOT UPGRADING

MY iPhone 6S is nearly two years old, but the only major differences I can see with the iPhone 7 – the latest model – is a better battery and more powerful speakers. It even looks the same.

Quite why anybody would replace an iPhone 6 or 6S with an iPhone 7 I couldn’t say.

You will pay hundreds of pounds for a few extra features whether you buy the phone outright or take the standard two-year contract that wraps the exorbitant cost into your monthly bill.

Advances in mobile phone technology have slowed to snail’s pace because the computer boffins designing them are running out of ideas.

Unless the iPhone 8 is significantly more powerful, we may see a pause in the growth of this particular technology.
