Because it's just a spec bumped 6s which is already too fast to begin with.Who's gonna update for a design with no antenna lines,no head phone jack?Dual cameras sound like the only interesting thing but the iPhone 7 4.7 won't have it.The iPhone 7 is even less of a update than the iPhone 6s was over the 6
What's with this obsession with eliminating bezels? Especially the side bezels which are actually useful. The fleshy part of your fingers would cover part of the display without them and you'd end up holding your phone like a tray. Also, the content would not only look distorted along the edges but the glare would obscure it like the Galaxy Edge.
Except it's a bit SHADY that a analyst is suddenly and repeatedly spewing "info" about a full cycle ahead of the one that's not even out yet.
Does anyone need an Einstein to figure this is highly irregular in the sense he MUST know this can seriously damage Apple near term and it heavily favors their competitors and by default inflate Samesong's popularity. Very weird.
Clearly this guy is a MAJOR piece of sushi up Apples butt constantly attempting to pre-empt Apple at its own game.
I'm certainly surprised that the Apple blogs like MR and AI eat this guys dinner more and more and not see the negative in him. It's glaringly obvious to me this guy is not in Apples camp. He's now so widely reported that one can consider this info as insider trading of sorts as it will no doubt help facilitate yet another negative stock correction -- this on top of CNBC that will ---come tomorrow -- plaster the Japan Earthquake damage story as a huge negative for Apple and iPhone 7. Count on it.
Pile on people, pile on.

Suddenly the number 7 isn't so "lucky" after all.
Ugh

Would have been cool if apple got their sht together and actually released a new phone this year...
So the whole industry is running out of ideas and innovations. They are instead, copying others and "innovate" from there.
Aluminum, Plastic, Glass. Which type of material suitable for mass production can we choose? Carbon finish like old IBM ThinkPad? Or copper? Silver? Gold...no this is not an option.
If Apple could convince those Wall Street fanatics, and slow down iPhone development, to divert more resources for Mac lineup, another large group of customers will be very happy and grateful. Where is that gold-price trash can update? for example.

When you hear his reasoning, he comes across as the average stupid analyst. Nobody uses aluminum anymore, it's an overused material. But then again his prediction for the iPhone SE was so detailed and correct that he must have a source high up inside the company.
It's possible that he occasionally predicts something that sounds outrageous and doesn't come true just so it's not blatantly obvious that he knows the right people.
Well, they actually did with the SE... Somehow.

Back to Murphy's law- what side will break when dropping your phone, display or back... ?

WOHOO! bring back the glass back like iphone 4s. because metal is so boring after 4 years. well i love my SE though, it's beautiful. the 6 and 6s is ugly with its antenna lines, it's pure eyesore.

you know, with glass back, if you drop it and crack it, you can change it easily with a new one sold in ebay. but with the unibody like 6s, you drop it, dented and you have to live with it. it sucks.

I remember I've read somewhere that Ming Chi-Kuo is a woman, so all of you referring to him as stupid are obviously wrong 
Its been 4 years, maybe Apple knows how to make a good glass back now.
Add, also every phone now are metal... By 2017 every phone now is glass.
Basically all of this is guessable or you can use the power of deduction. He can either have inside information or guess. He mostly guesses. If you are really interested in this you can start guessing just as good as he or better.
