It's even better in person - it was my "daily driver" phone from December until last week. Even with signs of wear, the iPhone 7 is a ridiculously gorgeous thing. And using it, most of the time, is a pretty good experience. It takes great photos! It's fast!
Last week, I switched to the Google Pixel.
