That's what this
is for. None literalness. I just laugh at people that invoke Jobs in comments. To be fair, you weren't doing that. Your comment was just an opportunity to get on my "don't use Jobs to bolster your opinion" soap box.
One big reason why I wanted the SE, was because the lock button is on top. While I wanted the smaller phone to be sure, the lock button was a very much welcome change
The only reason it's there is because the phones are too tall. If they remove the chin and forehead from this next iPhone it will be much shorter so there's a chance they'll put it back on top again.
Ceramic white is used in the white iphone 4/4s and parts of the silver 5/5s. It's not prohibitively expensive. Apple watch ceramic edition is overpriced gear.
Apple acquired Linx not too long ago, and we can only assume that the camera seen in the 7+ is the result of their efforts:

Otherwise, I'm not too sure what this office would know about. Furthermore, while we already know the next iPhone will be a radical redesign, it likely won't be iPhone 8. I'm thinking iPhone X, or even a new name altogether. Think Powerbook -> Macbook Pro. Same product essentially, but re-brand of product name.

Is this even news?
I suspect they are working on iPhone 8, 8s and possibly thinking about the technology for iPhone 9.
Technology companies have a road map.
Now give me an iPad Pro in an iPad Mini form and I'll open my wallet!

When iPhone launched it really was a phone with a few extra features, and now 10 years later it's practically a fully fledged computer with a phone app. In this regard a re-brand would make sense, but man, I just can't imagine not calling it an iPhone.
iPhone 4/4s white and 5/5s silver all use ceramic in parts of their construction. Apple Watch ceramic is overpriced. Ceramic glass isn't an expensive material. Apple's pricing is suspect.

Ha ha. This is a new patent just released
I have no doubts it'll be all true with the edge-to-edge display and no home button, and of course hope they'll release it sooner rather than later. But we've all been burned by delusions of grandeur before. Remember the rumours for the 4S?
Regardless, part of me can't wait for the waves of vitriol if the iPhone 7S is announced instead.
A lot of that vitriol would be coming from stockholders if that was to happen as shares plummet.

At least I am not the only one.
For me, the iPhone 6s Plus is too big for one handed use. So having the button on the top wouldn't really matter that much anyways.
trying to send a text one handed is kinds hard for me. I have trouble reaching the a button side. Taking photos is not easy either. I thought I would love the larger iPhone, but now I regret getting it.
That said, I hope there is a 4 inch iPhone 8 with all the features of the plus model. I doubt it would happen, but one can dream.
Maybe they'll go as far to just call it the Apple Phone. Worked for the Watch.
I doubt it, I think stock holders would complain if the next iteration does not cause people to camp out. Given the minor update of the iPhone 7 and people camping out, stock holders won't be getting terribly upset.
There is no law that I know of that prevents Apple from numbering their iPhone as it see's fit. Microsoft sure didn't care when they went from Windows 8 to Windows 10. Microsoft's excuse was that it was a huge leap and deserved the 10.
Heck, there is no law that prevents the removal of the headphone jack but Apple did so anyway.
Apple is building hardware for next year's iPhone model at its offices in Herzliya, Israel, and referring to it internally as the "iPhone 8," according to an employee there who spoke anonymously to Business Insider. The employee works on soldering components for Apple and gave vague references to how "different" the 2017 iPhone will be from the iPhone 7, which falls in line with rumors about the iPhone 8's radical redesign, without providing detailed information to add to the previous reports.
In Israel?? Right! The first Iphone ever with free build in backdoor and malware!

Not the same. The questioning and doubt over this year's iPhone's name was related to the fact that the design change was minimal, and was far more akin to another 's' upgrade than a full #.
Next year's iPhone will be a radical redesign, and the 10th anniversary phone. It would be absurd for it to be so different and arbitrarily titled "7s".
