It's definitely not windows xp, he just has the windows 7 theme as blue, the blue bar of xp looked different:

Given Apple's poor track record for secrecy with leaked parts etc, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the legit plans for the new iPhone 7.
Because only rubbish Android phones and Windows PCs compete about specs. I've seen quad-core Intel chips with lots of RAM that stutter at scrolling a simple webpage. You don't want specs, you want features. Smooth scrolling is a feature and you better don't care with how much memory and how many cores it is achieved. Only if it is achieved or not. When you shop for specs, you end up with a somewhat satisfying device that has all the advertised specs but not one completely satisfying feature. Instead you should ignore specs completely and test the features themselves on their level of satisfaction. Why do you think Apple brags about their consumer satisfaction ratings and not even mentions the amount of memory in the small print? Maybe they know something about how to make a profit and customers happy at the same time.I never mentioned Samsung in my post, also I have the 6S and I'm somewhat satisfied with it. I said you can argue about some of the features or specs whatever you want to call them. But things like battery size and 1gb ram on the iPhone 6 are things that prove that Apple holds back specs.

And I'm the one who wants a new design so that people know I don't have the latest modelI hope it's not the final design. I want people to know I have the latest one (not that I want to encourage theft).
I've been pretty vocal about them not removing the headphone jack, but this morning I was thinking about it and I would accept the removal if it was for something really game-changing. There's nothing wrong with the jack itself. It's perfectly good technology and there's no good reason to remove it for the sake of removing it. But if they had something really amazing, like wireless charging where you could just be within a few feet of the charger, that might make it worth the tradeoff. I don't know that you would need to remove the headphone jack for that, but maybe there's just not enough room otherwise.
All I can say is that regardless of these images if the next iPhone has no headphone jack I will not be buying it. Period. Simple as that. I use that jack every day. Every. Day. Having a 'lightning to headphone' adapter hanging off of my phone while it is in my pocket is not acceptable. In fact it would be about the stupidest thing I can imagine. I don't want or need new headphones with a non-standard connector, and bluetooth headphones do not interest me.
Yes, really. Just install Windows Vista on your Mac Pro and you will see that it's not the specs you love. It's the whole package that makes the experience, not a couple of hardware numbers. Even the new Mac Pro isn't mindlessly maximizing performance. The design is also aimed at silent operation and minimizing size. Apple's pro desktop is clearly the thinnest in its performance class and the innards haven't been upgraded for the last 816 days. So no, it's not different from any other Apple product.Oh really? I prefer a Mac Pro to a Mac Mini any day, but hey, you can choose the Mac Mini, and everybody happy.
IF that was an actual photo of an iPhone 7 it would be a pretty mundane update to the current design.
That same old same old would make it look like Jony just phoned it in.
Not enough if a design change. Will be interesting to see what the camera on the standard model is like though.
Personally... I think the overall design is fine — my 6 is a nice design. What I care more about is what's inside and iOS.
Separately, I've been seeing rumors about Apple might be looking to use totally wireless and contact-less charging (from Energous)... plus with a wicked fast chip, more memory, better camera, maybe they'll even surprise us with something new? But, for me it's more about what's inside not the outside... let's face it, it's a rectangular device... not a lot they can do but start adding bling or some sort of weird covering that most of us put into a case anyway.
I hope it's not the final design. I want people to know I have the latest one (not that I want to encourage theft).
i think it looks nice. now please get rid of the absolutely huge bezels and circular home button on the front glass and the iphone will design will be just what i always wanted it to be.
the one thing bothering me is the lack of headphone jack. if the iphone 7 doesn't have it then it simply isn't an option for me. my headphones cost £130 and i'm not going out and buying a new bluetooth pair just so i can listen on iphone. forget it.
Unfortunately that's how it is looking based on my perspective too. I'll be switching to the next nexus if the phone doesn't have enough appeal for me. The 6S was an indicator of this already, and if the 7 is as expected, I probably won't want to upgrade.
While I love iOS still, it seems to be getting sloppier as the last few iterations have come out, and as a power user, I have just always had a soft spot for the snappy transitions and animations that android allows. I jailbreak so it's not a big deal on iOS (I can speed up animations), but the limitation is real, and jailbreaks can get annoying when you have to restore and you lose everything.

That's as good an explanation as that we are all iSheep in an iChurch trapped in a reality distortion field coming from an Apple spaceship hidden on the dark side of the moon.They put something a little extra in your cool-aid there buddy![]()
Funny these Americans!In pop culture "Drinking the Kool-Aid" refers to the 1978 Jonestown Massacre; the phrase suggests that one has mindlessly adopted the dogma of a group or leader without fully understanding the ramifications or implications. At Jonestown, Jim Jones' followers followed him to the end: after visiting Congressman Leo Ryan was shot at the airstrip, all the Peoples Temple members drank from a metal vat containing a mixture of "Kool Aid", cyanide, and prescription drugs Valium, Phenergan, and chloral hydrate.
Hard to evolve on the 6 design. Rounded and thin has been the best design so far. Going back to flat sides is a devolution.
