Can't wait to hear them try to sell everyone on their new headphone removal feature! Also "we kept the same old screen because we know you love it!"
Got a tip for us?

Lightning headphones don't count since that's proprietary, and nobody like that. Using 3.5mm adapters aren't an option since they aren't solutions. Bluetooth is the only real option, so claiming there are "many other options" isn't valid.
Waterproofing is long overdue. Thank God for the competition from Samsung or that would never have happened. No headphone jack makes a big drawback to upgrading however.
What we'll end up getting: Space Black with a cleaner looking back casing, a new camera that is a little better in low-light, OIS, lose a headphone jack, maybe an improved 3D Touch system, water resistance, and a little bit of a battery improvement. Ok but probably not enough to wow most people and improve sales. If it's fully water proof then that could be better. If it comes with great wireless headphones in box then that could also help. We'll probably end up getting Lightning EarPods with $129-149 wireless AirPods and $19 3.5mm to Lightning adapters. Still not sure whether we'll see that flush Touch ID home button, but it could be a good transition to a home button free iPhone, and having different shortcuts depending how hard you press on the home button could be useful.

Yup really beautiful design and screen but that brand new note 7 got spanked by last years iPhone. Not to mention the countless reviews that states the Note 7 is a lag fest when doing even the simplest task.
Yeah, being able to make little sketches with the Apple Pencil while out and about would be pretty handy. You'd think it wouldn't be that difficult to implement and would push more sales of the Pencil and get people to buy an iPad Pro for the full experience once they see how well it works.
Ive criticised apple for this in previous threads, but honestly, the display is still great for being an LCD. Sure, the note 7 has an edge to edge display, is OLED, has a great resolution with great colours but that doesnt make the iPhone 6s bad in that regard.

Not excited about the new iPhones but the invitations always hype me up!
Even thought some people are not excited about this one, I'm still stoked! Looking forward to the advancements in the iPhone and even though it probably won't come at this event, I can't wait for the new MBP to be announced later this fall!
Wow, you spend a lot of time on Macrumors.
Look, all those fading circles indicating the disappearance of all the headphone jack ports! I'm so excited!!
Funny. I was going to say:
"and on that day there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
By the Apple haters, of course.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's an apple logo, blurred out. I like it, its kinda artsy an obscure, which is all they need for an invitation.
