"Phone" is nowhere near the top 25 things you do with that device, so I'd rather see them make a clean break.

This year's Haptic button isnt going to stick around. Early reports say it's an odd duck. It'll get replaced next year by a better solution.
Exactly! I love it when people complain about the rumors on a site that is literally titled MacRumors.com. People should be complaining when they post real information.
With the costs of iPhones increasing every year internationally, and with little change to the iPhone 7 plus besides camera and under the hood improvements. These are more than enough reasons for me hang onto my iPhone 6 plus for another year, and wait for the anniversary model which will look like a futuristic phone straight out of a sci fi movie.
Sure they arent. Pure coincidence they eliminated the slate black color on the 5s, went for a stronger aluminum on the 6s and made 4 antenna strips on the 4S.
It does seem like iPhone 7 is merely a placeholder. It's getting decent reviews... every new iPhone does, but next year's Anniversary Model is bound to be far better. It'll be easy to wait and pass on the 7.
Wikipedia:
Graphene has many extraordinary properties. It is about 100 times stronger than the strongest steel. It conducts heat and electricity efficiently and is nearly transparent.[3] Graphene also shows a large and nonlinear diamagnetism,[4] even greater than graphite, and can be levitated by Nd-Fe-B magnets. Researchers have identified the bipolar transistor effect, ballistic transport of charges and large quantum oscillations in the material.
Scientists have theorized about graphene for decades. It has likely been unknowingly produced in small quantities for centuries, through the use of pencils and other similar applications of graphite. It was originally observed in electron microscopes in 1962, but only studied while supported on metal surfaces.[5] The material was later rediscovered, isolated and characterized in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester.[6][7] Research was informed by existing theoretical descriptions of its composition, structure and properties.[8] High-quality graphene proved to be surprisingly easy to isolate, making more research possible. This work resulted in the two winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene."
I saw first things of this made for high end racing bikes which looked very promising and might change the whole race bike industry to move from carbon to graphene. Bikes could be manufactured weighting no more then 3Kg still stronger than ever. The most common problem with carbon racing wheels is heat dispersion, carbon is not able to do this like steel and aluminium; graphene seems to solve this issue while being lighter and stronger than carbon, steel or aluminium. The future looks bright!

Sure, but the new model is basically an iPhone 6s minus the aux. It's biggest improvement is basically the A10. Other than that, nothing amazing, and I personally think it's not worthy of being called an iPhone 7.
I'm due for an upgrade, and I'm personally having the courage of sitting out this vision because of idiotic greed behind the decision to remove the aux.
They need to put the front camera as long as the earpiece so a minimum bezel is necessary at least on the top.
I'd say a bezel half the size of current one could be enough and since they like symmetry we can expect the same bezel on both sides. I'd be happy with that, even half of current bezel size would be a huge step forward. Can't wait to see next year's model!
For the people that want to have the iPhone 8 experience (grain of salt), go to assistive touch, and turn on 'use touch to unlock', together with raise to wake, this feels like your phone is never in lock mode. You just pick it up, and there's the home screen. Well, assuming you had a finger on the touch ID. No need to click anymore. (i posted a few more of these things here).
I wonder if it is radio transparent also and would allow for uninterrupted wireless communications through the device.
I'd honestly be happy with the top/bottom bezels at half as well, that would put them at about the size of the Note 7 bezels.
