Apple's 2016 iPhone Update to Focus on Headphone Jack Removal, Major Changes Won't Come Until 2017

Apple is about to release the next version which we are anxious to see, yet they are already working on next years "anniversary" model in the lab. I'm holing on to my 5S another year if the 7 isn't crazy good.

Maybe I'll use the money on buying a new MacBook Pro instead, if the MacBook pro is kind of nice.
 
So it'll be harder to use headphones with and have a crappier signal due to half the antenna band disappearing? These are the "things we won't be able to live without"? :p

It's pretty obvious why Apple aren't making major changes this year with the iPhone 7, if you don't know, well, I'll give you a hint, it's something to do with the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.

Apple has Not celebrated anniversaries for products for a long time, so this sounds pretty far fetched to me.

If the iPhone 7 is just a small redesign, expect the stock to tank from its current levels back to what happened in late 2012.
 
I don't care what anyone says.....wireless IS NOT better. Can't believe they're removing the headphone jack just to make the iPhone 7 1mm thinner *smh*
 
Have to say, I have had every phone except the original and this might be the first time I don't get the latest. Doesn't seem like any significant changes will be made.

Yes, let's kill sales figures and piss off stock holders for just one more year for the sake of a 10 year jamboree. Wise move.

Cook has said that it will have a feature that is a must have. I'm guessing that to be waterproofing, and if it is, I will definitely upgrade from my 6s to the 7. I just hope they figure out the touch screen when wet, like the S7. Only part of my watch that is a pain. When in the shower or the pool, the screen is pretty much useless.

An upgrade just for waterproofing? Are you Spongebob or...

I can see it as a worthy upgrade for someone that often swims, goes to the beach or lake, or is just generally clumsy.

We got my son a giant thick waterproof case and might not have if this was just a standard feature.

I tend to keep my electronics away from the pool and beachside, but that might change if waterproofing was a ubiquitous thing.
 
I don't understand the point of this story. This is the kind of thing that usually posts on Friday afternoon, to keep the comments section busy all weekend. What is it doing on a Tuesday?
