iPhone 7 Plus review: 2014 called – it wants its phablet back

Apple's newest smartphone is its biggest and most expensive ever. But with this many compromises, is it worth buying over its sleeker, cheaper rivals?

The second of Apple's newest smartphones, the iPhone 7 Plus, is bigger, more expensive, has a few more features and actually lasts a day per charge. But is it worth buying over its rivals?

The largest in Apple's smartphone range has always felt like it played second fiddle to the darling of the Apple's eye, the regular iPhone. Two years since the launch of the iPhone 6 Plus, however, the iPhone 7 Plus has a new dual camera, longer battery life and more power, which make it feel like Apple's paying it a bit more attention.
