Probably a couple of weeks to a couple of months before it will be released, assuming it is like last year.
The benefits are: increased waterproofing, less mechanical issues, more room for bigger battery/extra speaker for stereo when sharing videos...
OK, so now there isn't any subsidy, do they all come unlocked? And if that's the case can I buy from any carrier?
But did it include an adaptor?
Also, Steve said on stage during the iPhone 3G event, that the jack was a mistake. So he fixed it.
Apple's now broken it.
Some people that want to hear music while recharging will soon realise that cannot be done unless you have a wireless..... Bummer
if you don't even have bluetooth audio that's a fail on your car
use your old phone while you drive around in your old car
if you care about music then buying a car in which you can't upgrade the stereo wasn't a very wise decision
Like most phones this year, it's an incremental update nothing special. Removing the headphone jack has to be one of the dumbest ideas ever, so now you have to use another dongle and can't even listen to music and charge your phone.
Also so sick of all the fancy words for colors, just call it black, grey and whatever.
It's clear that most of the work will go into next years model.

It's just like any filter, right? It's fine if you're happy with it, but normally you probably won't have control over it anyway. There's a difference in bokeh where you can tell what the background is and when its mush. Sometimes you want to show the background to tell the story, as well (think of taking a picture at a sporting event, yet you can't tell what the background is, so no one know where the heck you're shooting). If the "depth detector" can't read it fully out and just blurs the back to heck, what's the point? Of course, I'm talking out my rear, because I've never played with the iPhone 7, naturally.
Personally, I think it's a fun thing that will end up being the latest hotness in Instagram. That being said, I still love having complete control of my f stop and lens to get exactly the layout I want.
I think I'm doing the Apple payment plan on this one... next years phone should be kick butt and I want that option to upgrade then too.
A very good event today... Awesome iPhone upgrade, nice Apple Watch 2.0 and getting Nintendo at the same time! AWESOME!

You just can't please some people... The fact they unveiled AirPods make up for it.
holly the prizes in germany are insane.. do they think we are billionaire's?
Yeah, courage would be dumping the lighting connector and adopting usb C like everyone else. They are the biggest cowards going. Especially giving us another year of big fat bezels!
I found a few articles from last year that said the Sim-Free version didn't go on sale until a while after the initial pre-orders. Either because of supply constraints or, more likely, some bulls**t agreement with the carriers.
It's bluetooth. My guess, the improved bluetooth audio part (aptX) which Apple has yet to support, which lets them get away with the marketing gimmick.
I'm happy with it. In for a jet black 128GB at 12:01 Friday
A fool and his money are easily separated
I do this once in a blue moon at work, but I wouldn't consider it much of a downside; a slight inconvenience at worst. Going without music for 30 minutes is not going to kill me and I can't imagine it'd make a huge deal for others.
IMO the improved taptic engine, stereo speakers, solid state home button and other improvements that were made possible by utilizing the headphone jack space was a good trade off and will be copied by Samsung within 2 generations, at which point all this noise about headphone jacks will be dead and we'll move on to the next great debate... The removal of the lightning connector.
