I'll never understand why people think a phone needs to be upgraded every year. I would assume people getting the 6S are 4S, 5 or 5S owners, not 6 owners.
Got a tip for us?

Claimed 'iPhone 6s' Box Appears Similar to 'iPhone 6s Plus' Packaging

I think the leaks are to blame, I remember when the iPhone 4 leaked here on MacRumors and everyone was stunned how it managed to get out. If I recall correctly since then every major iPhone has had it's feature and appearance leaked before the event.
If you go to 9to5Mac they have a wrap up of what to expect tomorrow and it is so detailed it likely will mirror the event almost entirely on what is announced.
The new Siri responses to "give me a hint" are HILARIOUS. I love it when big corporations allow their employers to have sense of humour. (No sarcasm.)
I can't wait for tomorrow. I finish work at 2.30 and will be sitting tight at 6pm watching the live stream.
Most people wait out their contracts, but many regulars here upgrade yearly because we want to. Plus, some of us are still on legacy plans where we keep a dumbphone line for $120 a year and upgrade/device swap that every other year at the subsidized price.
I have upgraded yearly before and handed phones down to my kids. Now they are getting older and don't want the old models (so I let them pay for their own upgrades) but am now upgrading every other phone for myself.
Because you want to. AND because you are in the 1% who can afford to upgrade all their gadgets whenever they want. Never forget that.
I have learned long ago not to compare or try to figure out why people do what they do. It's really nothing to understand, people like to spending money on the things they enjoy. Some people enjoy driving nice car, I can argue what's the point as it takes you from point A to B. Some people will throw $2000 going to football game, it's their money.

Haha. You. Because you took the time to view the post AND comment.
I think it would be awesome to have "Siri" watching my finger(s) and reacting appropriately based on the context of the type of app I'm opening and where I am. EG, if I'm at work and open a game, she frowns and rolls her eyes. If she sees a receipt for cinemark and my GPS suggests I'm at the movies, she can similarly whine at me if I dare look at it in a dark theater (the light sensor would help here).

best "response post" of the internet this week right there.....great job.
Yeah, it definitely feels unusually massive for a 's' model upgrade. Biggest camera upgrade since 2011, first RAM increase in 3 years, possibly the biggest display upgrade since 2010 and maybe the biggest performance improvement ever if the rumor I posted comes true. It's possible I'm pushing my luck with the last one, but you never know. Anyone who bought an iPhone 6 this summer may have really missed the boat here.
The box is the same as the last one. The phone's practically the same as the last one. So why would the box look any different? Great story though!
It's not the same... The last one was completely blank.
Yep, I'm still riding fine on my 32GB iPhone 5 (on Ting, cheeeeeap) I want to want to upgrade but it, like, still does everything I need it to do. And iOS 9 is still going supported on it. Might take the iPhone 7 to get me wallet to buy a new one. That's decent ROI IMO.
That would be awesome. The iPhone 6 display's ppi is just too low. Only thing bothering me about my iPhone 6.
I see this every year with S models. "Owners of the non-S phone won't have a reason to upgrade" ... That doesn't matter. The hard-core fans will anyway. The people on two-year contracts (who couldn't upgrade to the iPhone 6 but wanted to) will upgrade. It's not like 90% of iPhone owners are on the iPhone 6.
I agree with you. I just don't like it when those who want to upgrade every year then complain that this year's device isn't that much better than last year's. Just don't buy it

It's usually those who are still holding onto their 5s, etc. who complain that the 6s isn't much better than the 6, which they won't consider.
