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.
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!
Definitely reads much better now. Good stuff @Joe Rossignol .

Thanks Jessie S.
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.

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.Blah blah blah Android has had wireless charging for years blah blah blah Apple is playing catch up blah blah blah
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
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.
At least the new iPhone will be tear-proof. Sorry! - resistant.

Or about three lunch breaks in a work week just to make these sexy renders.
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!

I just hope it will be better then the current ****** wireless chargers. If its the same as others i have zero interest.

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".
Says the person who posted:
Yes, but it's special Apple black water.

There is no way your Rolex would withstand the pressure of 1000m of water. Therefore, its not "waterproof".
