Just out of curiosity and excuse me if there is a duplicate thread out there, Those who have the iPhone 6 or 6+ (Not the S model) Will you be getting the new iPhone this September? I purchased a 6+ back in September 2014 and i could really use an upgrade however with all the leaks and stories that are out, I'm starting to question whether if the new device will really be worth it.
Got a tip for us?

Great question, i'm wondering the same thing. Put a case on the iPhone 7 and it will look exactly the same as the iPhone 6 (the one i have). I'm disappointed by the lack of innovation on this year's iPhone, especially if you compare the rumors for this year iPhone and 2017 iPhone.
I answered a maybe on your poll because I believe the only big feature that could push me to buy the new iphone is the camera. Iphone 6 was the last iphone with 8mp and the picture just isn't comparable to the S6, S7, especially for selfies...

Yes because I will also be getting the features I don't have that are in the 6s. Couldn't care less if it looks the same. I don't buy tech based on looks.
I'm sort of disappointed as well however the camera is certainly something to look forward to also the new touchID button, i had a chance to play with the S7 Edge for a couple of days, the camera on that phone is absolutely amazing.
I have to say when i first got the 6+ I was not pleased with how big it was and uncomfortable it felt in my hand but eventually i adjusted to it. I'm sure if i saw the 6+ in person prior to making a purchase i would of gotten the 6 instead.
I’m actually thinking of getting a + for the first time. What are the complaints about it? I think it would be rather obnoxious making phone calls but then I realized nobody talks on the phone anymore anyway. I’m not really a single hand user as it is so I’m not really turned off by the prospect of having to use two hands most of the time.
I'm hoping they will have a 256 GB model because at some point my 160 GB iPod Classic is going to take a dirt nap and I can use this iPhone as an iPod when I get the next upgrade.

Regardless of any rumors, I will be getting the 7 on launch day. The desire of a new design doesn't warrant my purchase of a new phone. If anything I'll just switch up the color and call it a day.
It does seem a bit obnoxious holding a 6+ up to your ear for the first time but after a while you will get use to it, only thing to be weary about is adjusting to a bigger device for everyday usage in terms of holding it, one hand use, ability to fit it in your jeans or pants comfortably. I use my 6+ as an iPod as well, it does feel bulky to carry around when at the gym.

I plan on getting the space black or whatever they're going to call it. My 6+ is white/sliver so was my iPhone 5, time to switch it up.
Well, if the rumors turn out to be true, the new iphone will have:
- 32gb, 128gb, 256gb
- no 3.5" jack
- possible water-proofing
- flush home button w/haptic feedback
- dual speakers
- no antenna lines
- A10 CPU
- return of space black
- 3gb ram and better camera in the Plus model
Are those enough for you? You'll have to decide.

Used a 64GB iphone 6, nothing new
- no 3.5" jack
Rarely listen to music with earphones since car have bluetooth
- possible water-proofing
Spend the last years without a water proof phone and it worked fine
- flush home button w/haptic feedback
who cares?
- dual speakers
Never used my speaker... I dont game.
- no antenna lines
who cares?
- A10 CPU
Expected change since it's always a better CPU
- return of space black
Always used silver color iphones.
I'm not psychic, so despite the abundance of apparently reliable rumours, I can't decide until the phone actually debuts.
However, assuming all the rumours are true, I'm still very happy with my 6 and I'm not happy about losing the headphone jack. I might stick with my 6 for another year, or give the Note 7 a try. Or maybe I'll be lured in by the iPhone 7 after all. I really can't decide until I know exactly what it offers.

I'll either go to the 7+ or a new 6s+ from Swappa depending on how good the 7 is and if I want to save ~$250.
It's not hahahahahahha
That's what I thought.
I can understand if people skip this year's phone. But I can also understand why many will buy it.
Space Grey 6 Plus owner here.
The geek in me says that I'm going to want a shiny new Silver duel camera 7 Plus, but there is just that niggling doubt about what's going to happen next year, plus that the 6 Plus is still a solid phone and the battery is still as good as it was back in 2014 (for me personally), that I'm wondering whether it's worth the upgrade.....

If you're a 6+ owner, I'm half amazed that you would endure another year of using that phone...the 1gb RAM was almost criminal.
/ shrug/
Great question and I'm sure a lot of people have this same problem
I have a 6 plus and was so certain I was gonna upgrade to the 7, mainly for the 6s features I don't have like Live Photos and 3D Touch features. My 6 plus still works very well and it doesn't seem slow at all
But since the 9.3 3 jailbreak came out and I jailbroken my phone, I was able to get Live Photos on my 6 plus (score!) and the 3D Touch like features.
Now I'm not so sure if I'll get the iPhone 7. Definitely won't be getting it on launch day. I personally wished Apple would have upgraded their screen resolution on the 7

I thought there was talk yesterday about a bump in pixels and the Plus going to a 2K?
In your dreams...Apple will go AMOLED next year so why would they bump the screens this year.
From all the YouTube videos and sites that talk about the iPhone 7 that I have looked at, seems like Apple is reserving a new screen resolution (AMOLED?) for the iPhone 8 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the iPhone.
I'm at work all day so my main uses are during my morning and afternoon commutes for podcasts and any additional use when at home.
So not really RAM hogging usage.
