But like the eponymous Batman villain, the iPhone 7 has two faces. The removal of the headphone jack feels unnecessary and restrictive, the handset costs more than the 6S did when it was released last year (in the UK at least), and the iPhone 7's battery life is a real problem.

If you want a small Apple phone you'd be better off opting for the iPhone SE. Alternatively, if size isn’t an issue, last year’s iPhone 6S Plus remains a great phone, has strong battery life and costs exactly the same as the iPhone 7.
