Very excited!
Jet Black 7 Plus is the best looking iPhone since the 5s.
Jet black in terms of sheer appeal is probably the best looking iPhone since the iPhone 4S.

They do loads of clear cases you knowJet Black for sure, so I can put a case on it, so it won't get scratched, covering up Jony's beautiful design (then no one will know it's Jet Black) ???
Staying with my Iphone 6. Maybe upgrade next year.They do loads of clear cases you know
How is this? I don't see a discount in my bill due to my contract ending.

You have to call and ask. Now that I own all the phones on my plan, the per phone charge went from 40.00 each to 15.00 each.
The plan cost is on top of that.
As I've said repeatedly, if this access fee will be lowered by taking a non-subsidized phone, then all of the arguments FOR the non-subsidized prices still being fair and equal are correct. If Verizon will lower my access fees to the $20/month rate, then the argument has been satisfied. Last time I checked it was not an option, but perhaps that was because my contract had a few days left.
[doublepost=1473347256][/doublepost]Does anyone know how to preorder an iPhone 7 unlocked and sim free, or will this come later? I don't want to have any carrier contract as I work overseas, but can't seem to find a way to order on apple.com without selecting a carrier.
Apple today announced the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 and 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus at its "See You on the 7th" media event in San Francisco.

The new iPhones feature a 64-bit four-core A10 Fusion processor, stereo speakers positioned on opposite ends of the device, a flush Force-sensitive home button with a Taptic Engine for haptic feedback, and IP67-standard water and dust resistance - but no headphone jack. Wired Lightning in-ear EarPod headphones and a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter are included in the box. Apple is offering Siri-enabled wireless earbuds called AirPods as a separate accessory, available for $159 in late October.
The iPhone 7 features a faster, more energy efficient 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with optical image stabilization, six-element f/1.8 aperture lens, an artificial light compensating flicker sensor, Quad-LED True Tone flash, and enhanced tone mapping. The device also has a 7-megapixel front-facing FaceTime HD camera with wide color capture and auto-image stabilization.
The iPhone 7 Plus differentiates itself from the 4.7-inch handset with a dual-lens 12-megapixel camera featuring all the same features, but is much more advanced, including a wide-angle lens and a separate telephoto lens that combine to create 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom features. The ISP dual-lens camera is also capable of producing live shallow depth of field shots and "bokeh" effects in preview mode.

The smartphones are crafted from anodized aluminum and have a stainless steel Apple logo, and come in a new glossy jet black color, as well as simple "black" (with a black Apple logo), alongside silver, gold and rose gold. The antenna bands are aligned along the edges of the handsets, instead of across the rear like on the previous models, and the volume buttons are positioned directly on the side of the handset (as opposed to inside a recess as per the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus).
Both devices also benefit from a 25% brighter "cinema standard" Retina HD display with wider color gamut, improved color management, and 3D Touch. Audio has also been improved with the new speakers, which include increased volume and better dynamic range.

The A10 Fusion four-core processor powering the two devices delivers up to 40% faster CPU performance, up to 50% faster graphics performance, and better efficiency compared to the A9 chip inside the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Both the new smartphones come with improved battery life, faster wireless, and the improved water resistance means the iPhones stand up to splashing and even short periods of immersion in water.
Pre-orders begin Friday September 9 and the devices are available to buy in more than 25 countries from September 16. iPhone 7 starts at $649 and comes in 32GB/128GB/256GB capacities. The iPhone 7 Plus starts at $769, also in 32GB/128GB/256GB capacities. All come pre-installed with iOS 10, which is also available for download on September 13.
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are also available through the iPhone Upgrade Program, starting at $32/month and $37/month in the United States respectively. Apple said the iPhone Upgrade Program will be expanding to the United Kingdom and China.

And sometimes there isn't one because the change was not made for the benefit of consumers.Nah, not accident-prone. I'm just a busy guy moving from place to place and sometimes those cables just get snagged on stuff.

Well.....funny thing is......sometimes society doesn't see the benefit later down in the future
Nice advertising for stereo:

That's how it should be. But I'm sure stereo speakers both firing out of the bottom is the same. Lol.
They should have put another speaker on top for real stereo imagine. You know...like their ad.
To Apple's credit they managed to announce the removal of the headphone jack without resorting to any misinformation about it being necessary for water resistance. Does the lie really need to live on here in the forum? The only reason to make up imaginary explanations for the removal is if you think the real reasons are not good enough.
Apple did indeed mention it was necessary for water resistance, so it's not misinformation.
ike thHow did you arrive at that conslusion that I am waiting for 9 years ?
My primary phone is not iPhone from Feb 2015. I skipped 6s, a will skip 7 and most probably next itteration.
Quite a few people switched to other brands becouse Apple just ignores this - fact.
Is there an advantage to switching to the new plans?
when push comes to shove, many people will pass on the iPhone because of [no headphone jack]
Then I'm going to stock up on my favorite UK comestibles.Yes, but now we have control*. #BrexitStrikesAgain
*£ now at ~$1.34 from about $1.49 before the result was announced.
If Apple was still making computers, they'd ditch those too.Don't people work on computers, with headphone ports?
Wireless headphones are the future. There are many good and cheap ones available if you don't like the new ones from Apple. A year from now you will think you are crazy if wanted wires around you. Even for charging
I just logged into my account and it appears I DON'T have to call and ask. I'm blown away! Verizon has actually dropped our access costs on each device automatically!
Now, how are you getting $15/each?
