Do you think the iPhone 7 will be the most sold iPhone ever?

[I7guy]

Listen to how they say it in the keynote..go watch samsung commercials.. WATERPROOF is the keyword used. But people who pay attention know it's water resistant not fully waterproof.

"they" can say what "they" want. Ipx7, ipx8 is not waterproof, it's water resistant.

I bet it won't because it doesn't have an S appended to the number

Yes, that's what I was originally saying.

No. I think it will sell extremely well (as iPhones do) but won't reach the sales of something like the 4s because of market saturation. People are also holding onto their phones longer now as well which could impact sales.

 

[Videomanmac]

I see my stock on the rise.

 

[BeeGood]

Yes, isnt it always the case?

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Every iPhone has outsold the previous iPhone.

You are also forgetting that the Note 7 has just been removed as a competitor.

It was never really a competitor, less so now that it has a pen chance to explode.

No, iPhone 7 aka iPhone 6ss. I can see 2018 as the best selling iPhone ever.

 

[boltjames]

No.

The iPhone 6 will hold that title forever. From here-in all iPhone releases will be fractional, only slight improvements to get consumers excited.

I think people are realizing that they don't have to have every iPhone each year. I'm skipping this year myself.

Not only that but with the end of 2 year subsidized contracts and the quality of phones right now some people, myself included, are starting to realize they don't even need a new phone every other year. I don't borrow money, even interest free, so an upgrade really needs to be worth it if I'm going to fork over $1,000.

I would assume the iPhone 6 is the top seller. There was so much pent up demand for an iPhone with a bigger screen, I'm not sure we'll see another hardware feature that causes so many people to upgrade at once.

I'm someone that loves to have the latest but I'm barely tempted by the iPhone 7. Unlike some poeple who are fixated on the similar case, I think the iPhone 7 is shaping up to be a decent upgrade. I just feel like my 6 Plus is more than sufficient. I am definitely planning on upgrading next year, hopefully to an iPhone 8 and not a 7S.

Bingo. Perfectly stated.

For the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 5 I used to be able to get the biggest capacity which retailed for $800 for $399 on a 2 year contract. And then at the end of that contract, AT&T would unlock my phone, I could sell it on Craigslist for the same $399 I bought it for. You see, plus or minus a few bucks, we all were getting free iPhone's and there was a thriving aftermarket of people with bad credit or limited funds to take our old hardware off our hands.

Today, that $399 subsidy is gone and I'd have to pay the full $800. And with the new no-money-down financing, that Craigslist aftermarket can be in a new iPhone and not an old one. It's a complete shift of economics. Where "new every two!" used to be a no-brainer because it didn't cost anything, now it's real money, now there's no incentive to upgrade unless the new features are worth a lot more money. And they aren't.

Well Samsung phones need to be WATERPROOF to withstand being thrown in the deep end of the pool to extinguish the fire.
