Aren't they? If you call this an update, I must ask what flavor Kool Aid you are drinking.
I'd say that's pretty likely to be a photoshop. Have a look at those edges once you play with the levels a little. Do I sense artifacts from the clone tool in there? I think so....
Or maybe artifacts from the camera mobile
am i being stupid (prob!) but why is what is beneath the phone reflected in the camera lens and the apple logo.
is it just the back without the front?

Ugly. That is the first word to come to mind. Those bands have been hideous since the day they were introduced. ITS SO BORING!!! Can't they come up with anything new??? That design is tired and uninspired.
Few years ago a friend of mine was glad and relieved that the just released ipad 3 looked the same as the ipad 2 he owned, so that people wouldn't notice he had an older model.
i was speechless.
i still am.
Waterproof is y they are making a touch sensitive home button
Is that Apple logo supposed to be translucent? I can see the floor and the guys fingers through it.
Would be nice to give them a chance not to get bored by you and your nerd blabla like in the last years..

Your comment? For sure.
Uummm you're looking at the design. If you want a complete redesign wait until next year.
Call what an update? The phone hasn't been released yet, how the heck do you know what the update is going to be?
I think many fail to analyze the fundamental shift going on in Apple's Business Model. Apple has been, and is accelerating to a Services Based Model. We should no longer view Apple's Hardware as always being out front, cutting edge technology every update.
Apple Hardware will progress as their Software/Services demand. Be it Personal or Enterprise. While we have grown accustomed to a certain pattern over the years, those days are gone. Period. You will see the "Apple Phone" move to a 3 year redesign starting next year (smart move IMO.)
As Apple's iPhone revenue becomes less of a stalwart source these (iPhone 7) type of releases will be further apart and less earth moving. Apple Hardware will in some ways stay the same. High Quality, Well Designed Internal Architecture, Long Life, and Expensive. Just keeping up with Apple's Ecosystem.
If you want to stay in Apple's Ecosystem and have an old iPhone you want to replace, the 7 will be more than you "actually need." Now, when it come to what people "Think they Need in Hardware" Apple is not interested. You either stay with Apple and use what they offer to utilize their Services, or you don't. It's really that simple.

This is me - 5S owner here. Still runs really smoothly on the latest iOS 10 beta.
I was planning to update this year for the bigger screen, but if the iPhone 7 is as disappointing as it's being made out to be, I might skip it.
Lots of folks aren't enamored the the 6/6s design so they're ready for a change this doesn't seem to be much of one

I cannot say that I am terribly interested in this phone, I ventilate purchased nearly every model of the iPhone since the very first. In my humble opinion, they need a radical refresh and actually provide use with more tangible reasons to upgrade. The last few iterations have been mediocre and incremental. Bring on OLED and wireless charging.
And please drop the prices to a more accessible cost, the prices are now far too inflated, the market has matured and many competitors have began to edge into the luxury smart phone market.

So if this is actually true, which of the characters in this old Apple commercial represent Apple now?
