So many bitter tears here. You're welcome to switch to another brand or better yet, produce a phone yourself. That way it'll be perfect.
I for one am looking forward to a 7+ with pencil support.

If Apple does add pencil support it will validate everything Samsung is doing with the Note 7. Why buy the wannabe when you can buy the real thing.

Apple needs to go back to simplifying their products. 1 product in each category for consumers and pros.



Why?
I keep reading here that everybody wants 'choice'.

You sound like an old style communist:
"The citizens only require one model of anything"

Apple won't add a stylus to the iPhone. People just don't want them. The Note series is vastly outsold by the Galaxy S. If people really wanted a stylus then the Note series should be Samsungs best seller. Or they would put a stylus on the Galaxy S. No other manufacturer that has a stylus has seen those devices take off and sell in large numbers. It's a niche product.

There's choice and then there's too much choice.
"Too much choice"? what an odd idea, I expect you are not American?

At this point the amount of options leads to confusion.
"Confusion"??? who would be confused by a couple of slightly different device models? Everybody is able to compare devices and decide what they want.

What else is "confusing" ? Which music to listen to? There are lots of books ... perhaps they should limit the number of published books to about 10 a year?

So there's going to be 3 different versions of the iPhone now. I wonder how much they are going to charge for the iPhone 7 pro. It'll probably be the same price as a MacBook.

I wanna try out the new Samsung Note, but I'm so balls-deep in the apple ecosystem that it makes me cringe at the thought of redoing everything!

You win, Apple, you win...


Same here. The ecosystem really ties you down and that is one of the best things about Apple, it's so seamless. Very Cultic like.

Choice? A more expensive iPhone model that basically only benifits photographers (who will likely use a camera anyway) is not a good thing, it's over-complication.
Sure, there could be more choice but too much choice is a bad thing and as we can see, leads Apple to focus on the more expensive models since it provides more money.
 
The ring/silent switch looks great...... super legit.....

Anyway, this is probably what the body will look like unfortunately.

That pregnant camera is ugly as ****.

I really don't really see a big incentive to having 4K on a smartphone. Seems like overkill. 1080p is just fine. If I want to film something in 4K, I'll go grab a camcorder or something. Seems like a wasted feature to me....but hey, I'm just some dude with an opinion

Hey, you're right. I forgot that the S7 doesn't include a stylus. I don't see the Note often but I thought it was at least semi popular.

Since when? You say this as if it were a well accepted scientific fact. Choice is in itself value neutral, and usually seen as a positive thing in free market. Surprised to hear you say there can be "too much choice"
 
TC has been quoted as saying "We're going to double down on secrecy on products."

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/29/3051521/tim-cook-apple-will-double-down-on-secrecy-on-products

So these may all be intentional fake leaks (instigated by apple) to throw us for a tizzy loop.

If not, they doubled down on nothing.
A double down is a ONE TIME side bet. If Tim Cook said years ago that Apple would double down on secrecy, the promise is long past its expiration date.
