Removing the headphone jack is a "feature" now, funny.
We get that Apple is going to push wireless Beats headphones to go with the new iPhone, but it's still a stupid move.

No, that's just the way it looks in the eyes of people who think Apple can do no wrong. And for those people, explaining any grievance is a futile experiment, so it's best to just let them think what they think and cry about the fact not everyone is an Apple sheep.
Yep, but the Keynotes are really exciting, why? Well because Tom Cook says he's excited to present. Never known a person to get so excited over so little.
The iPhone SE should match all the technical features of the iPhone 6S Plus. Apple can charge what they need to still have their profit.
Will they even call it iPhone 7? Or will it be iPhone 6s2 or something?
Why not just skip releasing a phone this fall (they already released SE this year) and release anniversary phone in June of 2017?

Yes, the main new feature of the new iPhone is to remove a feature
Can't wait!

Less is more.
If this is being planted by Apple, it's a huge mistake. The Samsung S7 was just released and is doing well, plus the Samsung Note 7 is being released on August 7th and is expected to tempt a lot of users.
I wonder what this will do for upgrade cycles… will the 6s resale value be higher? Will the 6 resale value drop significantly?
Also, idk how I feel about headphone jack removal. It depends on how they implement it I guess. I've never used anything other than the included EarPods with my iPhone so I guess I'm okay if they still provide a way to use EarPods.

seems like a good idea, we already have external battery power banks
Guess i'll be waiting another year for an upgrade on my 6+
It's not like Apple is a risky penny stock. I think my rationale was very sound. Weak iPhone sales caused apple to dip below $100 for the first time in awhile. Looks like weak iphone sales will continue with this minor update as well, which should continue to put downward pressure on the stock. Hence my assessment that for the next 8 months at least Apple should be a good buy. From all indications, the iphone 8 in 2017 will be a HUGE radical update. So it stands to reason that sales should be turn around at that point for the iPhone. Nothing is for certain when it comes to the market, but I think this is very sound advice non the less. Not telling anyone to buy. Just putting it out there. People can make up their own minds.
Tell me again... Who's actually interested in an even thinner phone?! Bueller? Anyone? Anyone?! Bueller?!
all of those points will lead to "... but it looks the same ... " in an every day conversation
Technology has advanced enough to put a higher resolution screen on this thing, shrink the ridiculous bezels and other things most other companies already have in place on their phones for more than a year.
Anyone considering trying android. I have a 6s and I was planning on uograding but if it's going to stay fairly similar, then I wouldn't mind trying android for a year and then switch back to iPhone in 2017. What do you think ? Any suggestions?
This is coasting mode until parts are ready for the 2017 model. It's a HUGE gamble. They are rolling the dice and seeing if casual Apple/iOS fans will either sit on their 6, 6s or get the 7 before the iPhone 8 and not switch over to whatever more advanced Android offerings are out there in late 2016/2017.
The advertisements will spin this like they did for the 6s "Nothing has Changed except Everything" and try to make you, the consumer, look dumb in a clever, coy little jab. Hopefully making you think wait, maybe the 7 is amazing!
