So, are you saying you're not gonna need iPhone 7's teleportation feature?

I'm holding out for the iPhone 7S's breakfast in bed feature.

Good point. I don't need more speed than this. I don't need more features than this. I do NOT WANT ANYTHING THINNER. I don't need a higher resolution screen. I don't need 5K. I finally have the perfect phonee -EXCEPT FOR ONE THING - if they put Optical Image Stabilization in the 7s I would make the jump. Other than that, Apple has obsoleted themselves to me.

Performance has always been the driving factor for me when buying phones. Obviously I'm assuming Apple won't kill this phone with IOS bloat (at least not before it dies of old age anyway), and of course it's always possible they'll introduce some new feature that no one else has thought of yet (iPhone 7h for holographic?), but as it stands this is the first time I've bought an iPhone and thought, "this is it, I'm good." It just feels like we've reached that point where a few more milliseconds isn't going to noticeably improve my user experience. PCs have been there for years now, the iPad was there for me with the iPad 4, and I think there's a good chance we're there now with the 6s. Of course these things only seem to have a shelf life of about 3 years anyway, but if I can get 3 years out of this phone vs the 1 I got out of the others before I felt the need to replace them then that will save me a ton of $$$ to spend on other things I don't need =)

Same here and I knew I would'nt be happy with the 6 for 2 more years so I hope to get 3 years out of my 6s plus.
 
My husband and I are taking bets on if I can hold out for the 7S. I'm thinking I'd like to keep this one for two years. The S is so much more polished and refined compared to my 6Plus that I don't want to go through another non-S experience again. We shall see.
I stuck with the plus too. Glad I did.
