What if it is as thin as the iPhone 6, which is thinner than the 6s? Would that count?If its not thinner I won't buy it sarcasm

I would really like a "Game Case" for the iPhone, so I could play iOS games on sort of a PSP Go form factor.
The smart connector would be perfect for this.
Yeah, it is not even thinner.As far as we can tell the iPhone 7 is going to be one dud of a release. There's really not one thing that seems interesting so far.
I have spent enough on wired headphones, they all break close to the jack sooner rather than later. The Apple earbuds used to last a year for me but with the iPhone 6, the cables started fraying at headphone plug end after less than six months (something about the iPhone 6 size puts more stress on that part when in my pocket). Replacing the Apple earbuds every couple of months is one thing, but the plug of my $200 headphones also broke off while inside the phone, was some tricky business to get it out of the iPhone headphone plug socket.No headphone jack? Then we are done with iPhones. Several people (none of them technical) have said they will move to Android if apple does this. They spent too much money on good headphones to compromise with Bluetooth headphones.
I was thinking the same. And a charging dock connected via the smart connector instead of the lighting port is also a possibility
If it has a dual camera, that's enough for me. It will likely have a performance bump over the 6s.As far as we can tell the iPhone 7 is going to be one dud of a release. There's really not one thing that seems interesting so far.
NO ONE WANTS A THINNER PHONE. Just stop it already.
So, which one of you is speaking for 100% of all (potential) iPhone customers?If they don't go thinner this will be the lamest update in a long time. Same footprint? Same thickness? A better camera only goes so far.
A phone that looks similar to the 6S to me signals a huge redesign is coming in 2017 and this might be the year Apple gets rid of numbers with iPhone naming. For me the one thing about the 6S that was meh was the camera so if Apple's made a big improvement to it I think that will be a big deal. Right now iPhone isn't the smartphone camera leader no matter what Phil Schiller thinks.If they don't go thinner this will be the lamest update in a long time. Same footprint? Same thickness? A better camera only goes so far.
A minor update means next year they will indeed go for that huge redesign.
Apple is expected to eliminate the headphone jack in the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, and while some rumors have indicated Apple could use the space to introduce dual stereo speakers, Mac Otakara now believes Apple will continue to use a single speaker in the device. The report also includes a mention of Bluetooth-enabled EarPods that connect to the iPhone to charge much like the Apple Pencil.
Headphone jack to be eliminated and stereo speakers added - that is irony.
The current phones with stereo speakers are nothing like a stereo - the basic need to separate the two speakers cannot be achieved on a 3" device. This is like the 3D effect again.
Why remove the headphone jack if they aren't going to put anything in its place? That does seem a little weird. Oh and I'm almost 100% sure it'll be thinner!

Longer battery life?What would the incentive be the remove the headphone jack if they weren't making it thinner??
How about wireless charging?There has to be other idea for the Smart Connector than a Smart Keyboard.
Maybe they are designing a cool and functional case. But its not going to have a keyboard.

Get used to it folks. There's a reason the MacBook/MBP/MBA line is derivative to the 2001 G4 PowerBook design.
oh you mean bigger battery? yeah maybeLonger battery life?
The change in the tick-took cycle, seems interesting and actually plausible for the 10th anniversary special.Looks like they're saving the radical redesign with the curved glass,OMLED & Liquidmetal casing for the 2017 10th anniversary iphone.
What cameras are aesthetically pleasing? Huawei's cameras are flat but it's still an eyesore IMO. LG, Samsung and HTC have camera humps/rings only difference is their cameras located in the top center of the back not the upper corner.So apple got rid of the antenna bands but added that hideous camera. Wow
