Excitement is growing. I hope for apple that they can deliver.

What I don't remember however is how slow 2G was, I remember borrowing my brothers original iPhone on road trips and as far as I can remember youtube and safari was extremely snappy, I could swear that they've purposely made it slow on my new phones.There's a difference between high-end and overpriced.
I was willing to pay for my iPhone 6s the amount I paid because at the time it was the best possible phone and worth it (in my opinion). Charging even more for a "premium" version means you'll be able to pay less (or the same as now) and get even less.
I'm sorry, I won't pay 1000 bucks for the "third best new iPhone of 2017". And I don't understand how people can blindly do. The good thing about Apple used to be they concentrated on making one product great. If these rumors are to be believed, there'll be four new iPhone-versions. One great, the rest mediocre. Yippie!
The way I view it we won, you can talk however ya like

But they'll ALL still be better than the last version, which is the thing that matters. Charging more for more is simply how the economy works, although I will agree it seems like Apple has gone a bit crazy lately. You can't be angry simply because they're planning to release a version that you don't want to pay for. If it's crazy people won't buy it, and the next year it'll be gone or closer in price to the other models. If people feel it's worth it, it'll sell, and continue to be "overpriced (which is another thing simply in the mind's of the consumer). And hopefully the increased price will motivate Apple to try to create even more amazing and neat features for it, which the other models will surely get in time and also benefit from. Apple increased the price for the 7+ this year, and it sold better than ever, so you can be assured that Apple will continue to put more effort into that phone, because it is more profitable for them. Doesn't mean that the 7 was suddenly the crap phone of the year. "Overpriced" is simply the price that the general market will stop buying the product, look at the Airpods- people screamed and screamed on this thread that they were overpriced, and nobody would buy them, and they've been on 6 week shipment for weeks now, the market decided that they weren't overpriced. Honestly with the way development of phones has slowed down I wouldn't mind a model that encouraged Apple to try overly really hard to make "premium" features, with the way their profits are falling the actual results could be amazing, because if they did it right they could stuff their pockets and make shareholders happy, while introducing features that the public feels like are worth paying for. Great the screen is 10.5% more saturated, it already looks great, I want something NEW not incremental. Stick the innovative stuff in the "premium" phone, the incremental but nice stuff in the normal phones (which is all we are really getting now anyways) and i'll buy the normal phone and be happy that i'll be getting the cool features in a year.

Good news for me! Thanks to my messed-up body chemistry, I always have issues with aluminium products. Both my Macbook Pros and iPhones get "corroded" (like tiny black spots) after a few months of usage.
Hopefully, that won't be the case with stainless steel!

I really don't like the idea of an additional premium model.
isn't iPhone already premium?
this should be how the new iPhone is ,not just limited to one additional model.
the idea of the nicer,better model being even more expensive and unaffordable to many is really depressing.
there should be only 2 varients : plus and standard,and both should feature OLED screen and redesign body etc.

Well if nothing else thank God this thread has sparked the you say tomato I say tomato debate off.
YES! Most exciting rumour about iPhone 8. iPhone 4 was easily the nicest design, antenna-gate aside. I'm really just hoping Apple don't screw us over and charge a fortune for this thing. I hate the idea that it's probably going to be a 'premium' version rather than just letting us all have it.
glass, metal, aluminium, stardust ... no matter what it's made of , I am still putting a plastic spigen case on it

you knows it's going to be £999

If you want the same form factor as the iPhone 5 family the screen would need to be around 4.2 or 4.3 inches (due to much smaller bezel). IMHO this would be perfect.
I can remember the internet arriving and 1200 baud modems.I can't remember a time without the internet
I remember the introduction of VHS, CDs and DVDs
I can't remember the introduction of colour tvs, but can remember watching a black and white portable tv and main colour tv.
I can remember getting a microwave.
I remember the introduction of the mobile phone.
The arrival of satellite tv.
I remember computers with 1k ram.
And digital watches.
I remember life before the IBM PC

haha - you definitely missed out on downloading porn-pics on a 14.4k modem, paying for the internet by the minute.
When I last did the measurements I figured you could fit 4.5" in there, or 4.7" if it's sans-home button.
It's Premium-er...
But yeah, I get your points. I wanted a black iPhone 5, and wound up with the white one because of supply, and the white was shockingly covered up and never seen again until I took it out of its case. But then again, others don't have a case and I suppose that's when the premiumity of the new ones shows.

That might tempt me away from the 5.5 model, I LOVE bigger screens on phones but I could navigate/text so much faster on the 5 and the phones before it (although i do navigate my 6S+ with one hand usually), I would so be tempted by an iPhone that small with a 4.7 screen.

I made sure I got the black iPhone 5, it was a beautiful phone..... until a month later when the top was literally a flakey silver
I think you got a better deal that time around
The more Apple reserves its real innovation for "premium" models. Like the edge to edge OLED screen here. Or the touchbar in the new Macbook pros, the more they will distance themselves from normal consumers. Which they once had an iron grip on.
I remember my first modem was a 1200 baud (might have been duplex to 2400) so that would have been 150 bytes per second each way for downloading text on a screen prior to the internet
I don't care about wow one bit. I just want a phone that works every time all the time. I want software that is not so dumbed down that it is not adaptable to my way of working or playing. I want a phone that does not miss notifications unless I reboot every other day. I want a phone where all of the software provided by the manufacturer is updated regularly and bugs fixed, not new poorly defined features added instead.
When you upgraded to 56k
Gonna make myself look stupid and young here- where is this from? I recognize it but only because of a family guy scene
