Wow. It's not going to be waterproof. Change the ****ing title, stop click-baiting.
The only people being baited into clicking are the insufferable pedants who feel they need to school everyone on the obvious fact that nothing is truely water "proof" if you take that word to the extreme of meaning water will never, under any circumstances, over all of geologic time, get into the housing.
 
It's obviously based off of the supplier's quotations.
Nah he updated it, all is right in the world now.

Buddy, it's not about me. It's about the thousands of other people who will take this as gospel and believe it. No need for an editor to post false articles. It's a word change that needed to happen, and it did. Now chill.

I'm so excited! I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
Thanks Jessie S.
 
Blah blah blah Android has had wireless charging for years blah blah blah Apple is playing catch up blah blah blah

;)
 
I think I am going to upgrade early this time and get the iPhone 7s Plus. Based on the leaks of the iPhone 8, I am not so enthused with the design. Not to mention, its either the first gen of a new design or its some special edition one niche product (like the anniversary Mac), which might become obsolete as soon as the next iPhone. Oh, and its expensive. The iPhone 7s Plus will continue in the same tradition of the iPhone 7 and 6s/6 before it, which is a proven design. Who know's, Apple might bump the default storage to 64 GB making it a little cheaper to get.

I am sure there will be some must have gimmicks, but, I personally just want a bigger screen. That should keep me going until about 2020 when I decide to maybe upgrade again.
 
Wireless charger sold separately.


I kid! Hopefully.
Yeah, it probably will be. I'm not that excited about wireless charging in the first place cuz I charge my phone all over the place where ever I have a stand or a plug near by. I don't see myself buying a lot of the conductors around my house just for the convenience. Not to mention does wireless charging still work with a case on? If not that's a deal breaker for me as well.

and android is a suck fest, and most don't care if the iPhone has wireless charing or you can take it in the shower.
 
Is the current iPhone SE waterproof/resistant? Because if "one" of Apple's next iPhones has waterproofing capabilities, and since the 7's are already "waterproof/resistant," hopefully this means that there is a new SE in the works.
Nothing in the last year has even hinted at a new SE. Apple has no plans for that.

It's nice to think that somebody at Apple was paid to splash water on iPhones in an aesthetically pleasing manner and photograph the results. They probably spent hours on this.
FYI, they rarely film real water as it's hard to capture it in the first place. It looks too transparent/non-existent. In movies they would use oil instead in most cases. In the pic above the water looks pretty much CGI to me:)
 
all with phone addiction can facebook, skype, etc. even under the shower, or while doing the dishes. congrats!
p.s. do no try it in salty waters.

or maybe they can bath while charging... lighting cool extra feature!
 
Looking forward to that first youtube video of someone dunking their new phone into water for 30 minutes then setting it on a wireless charger. :eek:

Spoken like a class action lawyer... Anyone who goes to a rumor site and takes anything they see as gospel is not the kind of person who understands the distinction between the nuanced details of IP68 and "waterproof".
Now chill.
