I'm ready for a new iPhone now and wanting to get the larger + version. However, I'm torn if I should wait until September for the newest version or go ahead and get the 7+. I don't know if it will be that big of a game changer or would you just go for the available one now? I want to hear your thoughts on this.

I don't plan on getting anything other than an iPhone.

Thanks

Wait.

If the new one rocks, get it. If not, the current gen goes down a hundo

It is supposed to be a game changer.  My bet is high demand, low supply, and pricey.  Unless you preorder the minute it is available, probably no getting one for a while...

I like my 7+ FWIW

There current models usually go on sale right before the new models are announced. Wait for that sale.

That is for the supposed iPhone 8. It is still expected that they will have a 7S at the same time.

But who knows, it's all rumors for now.

Just went from a 5 to a 6 Plus S.  Didn't want the 7 because of the head phone jack issue (and fuck Apple for that stupid idea).

It's big.  Almost too big for convenient carry.  

And don't ever forget your Apple ID login and password.  

Honestly I sometimes miss my old Motorola Razr.

It's always anyone's guess when it comes to features on new iPhones, although OpinionBoi's on both sides tend to go a little crazy on the subject every year.

Two facts as I see it:

1) In 60 days, a different phone will be available for the same price the current model is being sold for.

2) In 60 days, the current phone you're looking at will be $100 cheaper than it is today.

I'd wait

It would be nice if they included a pair of AirPods with the new 8

Depends on what you want/need. 
If you need it now, get it now. If you can wait two months you won't be sorry

Do you know how it's supposed to be a game changer? I'm in the same boat rocking a 4-S and it has seen better days.

Has the next phone ever been a game changer?

It will be slightly different but all the apps will still work the same. Camera might be slightly better but will still work on the old one almost as good.

Might have some settings you never use anyway.

I sold $1800 analog Motorola StarTacs in the 90's, and I sold a bunch of them. I paid $750 each for 3 6s. A $250 jump for the computer I use everyday is no big deal, though it hurts when you buy 3 at a time. Probably going to grab a iPad  with LTE as well, since my Samsung tablet is old and useless.

7 plus cause the 8 plus will just cost more for less stupid inovations !
I have had the 6 + and the 7+ not much different, fancier camera

You also got water and dust resistance, a better LTE radio, more efficient battery, more efficient display as well as some other improvements.

Wait. Probably wireless charging, better processor, maybe more ram, better camera and screen.
