Don't know about that. Going from my iPhone 4 to my 5s got me massive improvements in processing power and camera, and a lot of good extra features. The processing power shows up in web browsing (which seems to require astonishing numbers of computrons nowadays). I got some real advantages. On the other hand, the greatly increased power in my home desktop over my five-year-old one doesn't usually matter (except for the SSD, which I could have added to my old box), and the real reason I replaced it was that the old one became unreliable, and when looking at my options I was attracted by "teh shiny".
I don't know how the iPhone 7 will compare to the 5s (assuming I keep planning my three-year cycle), or for that matter how long the 5s would last (my original iPhone developed touch screen problems about the time the 4 came out). We'll have to see.
