Check out this video that compares the boot speed of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus versus the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. All devices are 128GB models that have been freshly restored to iOS 10.0.1 and set up with the exact same configuration.
Notably, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus easily beats the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus to the SpringBoard by over 10 seconds! It's unclear why this is the case. Perhaps the new hardware (touch Home button, haptic engine, etc) slows down the boot process.
Also interesting is that the iPhone 7 Plus beats the smaller the iPhone 7. This differs from the last two generations where the smaller 4.7-inch version has always been faster than the larger 5.5-inch device. This may be due to the extra RAM in the iPhone 7 Plus. It has 3GB. 1GB more than the iPhone 7.
