Depressing that I'm buying into the iPhone 7 only to trade it in for the 2017 iPhone. I really can't picture them breaking the X/XS cycle, but I guess anything is possible.

This is my first post on MacRumors (though I've been lurking forever...)

I was really excited when I saw the mockup. Now everything that Apple's been trying to do makes sense.
Remove the headphone jack - Check
Multi-orientation speakers (currently on iPad Pro) - Check
Taptic engine - Check
No physical Home Button - Coming

Imagine an iPhone that you can pick up, not worry about the orientation, and just use it.
No more fumbling around to figure out which is the microphone end and which is the head end.

This is just the beginning....
Theoretically, that would be great, but the cameras and microphones will never allow that to happen.
 
More proof that Apple will have an iPhone similar to:

Now proof that they have touch-id IN display like in the new MacBook

But wheres the any key?

:D
 
I think the S cycle is going to go out the window with this year's model. Given that the iPhone 7 wont be a real upgrade and it'll have the same design as the 6/6S just with small changes
But it will still be two years since the iPhone 6 got out. Regardless if this year all that happens is a minor change it's still the upgrade for 6 owners (since the two year contract and everything), not 6S owners. While the iPhone 8 might not be called the 7S, it still falls in the "S" period.

There's tech being worked on that allows the camera to work behind the screen.. As for the speaker grill that can be integrated into the edge with little change in how you take a phone call.
