I wonder how Square Pay will like this? They need the headphone jack?
Got a tip for us?

The adaptor shows how little faith Apple have in removing the headphone jack.
Imagine Apple under Jobs including an adaptor.

I guess it's time to upgrade from my 4S.....
Does anyone know if any thunderbolt headphones have a power passthrough port? If you're low on battery power, how will you power your phone & listen to wired headphones? While I can get BT headphones, but what if they need to be charged as well?
You buy the phone and AppleCare+ with a 24 month interest free loan, make twelve payments and then Apple buy it back from you by paying off the balance of the loan and you get a new phone on a new 24 month loan. Some will say "I can sell a year old phone for more than 50% of its original cost" so it's up to you if you think it's worthwhile.
Jet Black, 7 Plus, 128gb, Upgrade program. 
I have a 6s and I think this is a good upgrade from a 6s even. Lots of solid changes.
All these negative comments are excluding the juicy stuff the iPhone 7 has.

You're gonna be waiting two years if you want the 8, 7s comes first.
Tempted. But resisted. I'll wait next year for iPhone 8. Shame, because this will be the first year I won't be buying a new iPhone.
Besides the camera, the upgrade is just too subtle.

My courage is telling me to hold for the 8. Courage may give us back the jack.

Very excited!
Jet Black 7 Plus is the best looking iPhone since the 5s.

Some people value form over function. Some prefer prefer to look at the entire package. Great design is timeless. I guess youl wouldn't wear a Rolex, then? That's your prerogative, but lots of people do.
From the apple site:
Jet black is available in 128GB and 256GB models. The high-gloss finish of the jet black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone.
The bolded one worries me

SO SHINY
Usually I get the S phones, but might have to switch to new phone every year...

Again, no Dual SIM option....I will maybe check out iPhone 7s/8 next year.
There is huge market for Dual SIM phones which Apple just ignores.

I would totally get this phone if I hadn't gotten a 6S Plus just four months ago, so I'm officially on board the iPhone 8 hype train.
Surprised Apple upgraded base storage on iPhone 6S and 6S Plus to 32GB. Finally realizing 16GB really isn't that much.
Kudos.
