iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Launch Predicted to Be Week of September 12th [Updated]

Water-resistant. No phone will ever be waterproof, as I've mentioned in other threads, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

How so? The whole term is misleading , waterproof that is, the whole concept is based on sealing to a certain presure / depth . A device irrespective of its rating, will fail at some point.

An old jeweller I know hates the term water proof, calls it markerting BS, you buy a watch based on the depth it's rated at ,not makerting BS

I said music production, not listening to music. As in Apps for recording music, as used by musicians.

Go into categories like photo, video, drawing & illustration or any category where you might actually want to do something and the gap widens significantly in favor of iOS. Health, especially, is superior on iOS especially with ResearchKit and HealthKit.

Why don't you list the top 10 Apps on your S7 that are also available on iOS and I'll compare them on my 6S Plus to my S7 and see what the differences are.

You're point of recording music is spot on I agree. All that Apple are great at

Nine of that interests me though or anybody I know to be honest

I must have like 20 apps I use regularly and there really is no different to that on my edge

All great on both

BTW the fitness and health s health to me is far better on Samsung than what we have on the iPhone and watch. More accurate and is set up better

 

[The Game 161]

Don't need to know what the S8 will have. Samsung Galaxy phones have always been inferior to the iPhone. No need to think it will be any different this year.

That was the case until this year

Samsung phones are just as good as IPhone if not better.

The camera for one is a lot better. So I'm hoping this duel camera is something special

They can be but the OS is inferior.

They can be but the OS is inferior.

Ios is better generally I agree. Guess it depends what you prefer

I still, to this day, believe Apple leak out information at launch day approaches to kill any unrealistic expectations about a product.
I've seen it happen many times now over the years, and it's just all too much to be a coincidence.

Honestly I also do fully understand why it would make good business sense to officially leak things.

Think about it for a moment. If you are going to get up on stage, in front of the worlds press, and show off your latest and greatest product. The very last thing you are a company, or person on stage would ever want is for everyone in the room to be disappointed, as one or two unrealistic expectations become so strong that, almost everyone there was expecting "A" and you could only deliver "B"

Sure, silly things, like colours not showing up, or perhaps RAM not being increased would not be a worry, but anything major that's all in the media about it's coming NOW, you would not wish to disappoint on.

So, the most obvious thing is, and this is what happens almost every year.
There ARE some great expectations about a product, and they grow and change over the year, a few BIG ones stick, and stay there till we start getting close to launch day.

Then just a few weeks away, some rumour sites/posts start to kill things off, and we end up pretty much expecting what ends up being shown.

As I say, it makes sense. If anything you want to show MORE than is being expected.
It will interesting to watch over the next few weeks if any of the current expectations mysteriously get killed off prior to launch day.

What do we have so far?

Colours Blue/Black (not that important to worry about killing rumours)
RAM starting at 32GB ? 32/64/128 ?
Dual Camera's (been talked about for almost the whole years now)
Headphone Jack vanishing, everyone is expecting it.
A speaker on the top for stereo in landscape?
Antenna Bands?

32/64/128/256 is not RAM bro. It's the storage size. RAM is different thing.

The S6 had a color accurate RGB mode and I doubt they took it away in the 7.

RGB mode on Samsung is a hack, and is in no way remotely similar to having color management built into the OS. And while Samsung displays have a wide gamut it doesn't mean they display the correct colors.

 

[SMIDG3T]

Care to explain in what exact situations the iPhone 6s Plus is faster at everything? I've got both and I'm happy to test the same situations, cause I'm somewhat at loss to see this major performance jump you talk about.

I prefer using my iPhone 6S plus as the daily driver, and the s7 is a limited edition, so just a collectors piece, but I'm intrigued by this performance issue.

Samsung's RAM management is horrendous. Just look it up on YouTube. Some Samsung phones have 4GB (possibly 6GB) of RAM yet they can't outperform the iPhone 6s which only has 2GB.

Let's take Real Racing 3 as an example, open that on an iPhone and you can come back to it several hours later and it'll still be in the same place. With a Samsung you'd need to boot it up every time.

So then you agree with my original post. If all you use are Facebook, Twitter and other popular Apps then there's no difference between Android or iOS. So why buy an S7 (for example) when you're not actually using the power for anything? And why claim your OS is just as good when you're not doing anything with it?

That would be like me claiming a Toyota Corolla (Android and Google Play Store) is just as good as a Porsche 911 (iOS and The App Store) because they both get me to work and the grocery store just as easily.

My mom could have predicted that.

Well-known mobile phone leaker Evan Blass has this morning predicted which week of September that Apple will announce the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

Blass, who has accurately leaked images and details about unreleased smartphones on Twitter (@evleaks) in the past, tweeted today simply "iPhone 2016 release: week of September 12th."

Blass is better known for leaking Android-based smartphone details ahead of their official confirmation, but his prediction for the iPhone 7's launch falls in line with Apple's typical September iPhone announcements - the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus launched on September 9th, 2015 - making it a pretty safe bet.

​

Blass's prediction follows a tweet by the blogger four days earlier in which he claimed the internal codenames for Apple's upcoming iPhones are "Sonora" and "Dos Palos", without specifying which is which (both are names of cities in California, though the former could refer to the Mexican state). Apple's codenames for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were "N71" and "N66", respectively.

This year's iterations of Apple's flagship smartphones are widely expected not to feature major design changes aside from the removal of the headphone jack, as the company is said to be deviating from its standard tick-tock upgrade cycle in order to introduce major new features in next year's 10th anniversary "iPhone 8" which take time to develop.

This year the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 is expected to get an improved camera and optical image stabilization, while the larger 5.5-inch model is thought to be gaining a dual-lens camera and 3GB of RAM.

Other rumored features of this year's iPhones include a faster TSMC-made Apple A10 processor, repositioned antenna bands, faster LTE and Wi-Fi, a slightly larger battery, and a minimum 32GB of base storage. A larger 256GB model may also be available.

Update: Blass has since posted a follow-up tweet which notes that he was referring to the iPhone 7's retail release, and offered the more specific date of Friday, September 16.

I get my edge mainly for media with live sport, TV shows and films which you can't get on the iPhone

I like having and using both but my iPhone is smoother and iMessage is a deal breaker

 

[newyorksole]

Yes, Apple is a very predictable company despite their manufactured lie that they are very secretive. Everything they do is purely calculated and planned in advance. Regarding the software, I think that they already have their beta releases ready to go and their beta testing program is just a bs way to get the public and software developers to find random bugs that were deliberately coded in. Plus when they release the last beta or two, they are already building the latest iPhone. They will start building them in August with the final software on them, then release the betas after that and act like they are still finding bugs. I'd bet that they have two teams working on iOS, one team working on the final release and one team working on the slowly-released betas. Hey let's create a bug for the next beta. But as you implied, literally everything they do is manufactured marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if iPhone 7 was completed last year and they are working on iPhone 7S right now. And I still stand by my claim that they are really hoarding cash to someday buy Microsoft. I think that by then they will have a lot more influence to make it happen.

I agree whole heartedly. My iPhone 5 was manufactured in 2011. An Apple technician looked it up for me when I was getting my phone fixed at the Genius Bar. But I mean, that's no secret that they're working on things 1-3+ years in advance.

It's just funny that Apple is so predictable yet people are shocked every year... After seeing the same thing over and over. Or the same process over and over.

And I've ALWAYS thought "wow these phones have been packaged since probably July/August, how is it that the golden master iOS comes out a week before the phone goes on sale?"

That's crazy.

 

[x-evil-x]

boo hoo to the people that have a 6S. ooooo I'm so sad i don't get to upgrade the phone I JUST GOT.

 

[IJ Reilly]

Agree to disagree. I don't want to stray to far from the article, but a leak has to have a source, period. It has to have an origin point and how it would leave a reasonable person to believe where it is traced from. Then and only then, takes the reasonable person to predict where the leak originated, IF the person can validate the leak and its legitimacy, then yes, the prediction is now factual, which then cancels the original prediction. It's process of elimination and troubleshooting. Where I differ from you is they both can exist in the same realm, it's until and only until the prediction becomes factual, which the leak will always be a leak, rather the leak be false or true; it's irrelevant, it's still a leak. Just like the 33 plus iPhone leaks Macrumors has posted in the last 8.5 weeks. They are all leaks, if the leaks are eroneous, it still wouldn't matter. Again, once the prediction is made accurate, then the prediction is converted into factual.

Reasonable Suspicion>Probable Cause=One person believes something is likely to occur or will occur with general belief that ultimately leads to a set of facts and circumstances that the events will occur or have occurred.

You are confusing matters for dramatic purposes, just as the article did. Someone with apparent inside knowledge of the release date leaked it to a reporter. The reporter reported what he was told. No matter what the article says, he neither leaked nor predicted. Journalism 101.

As for real racing 3, could it be the fault of the app?

In relation to memory management being horrendous , I'm not buying it , reason I say that, my iPhone 6 Plus was the worst phone I have ever owned with constant memory crashes. I've used my note 4 quite a bit and its nothing as awful as my 6 plus was.

Sorry but I'm not seeing a huge difference in the mainsteam apps, nor go I get my knowledge from YouTube videos, I just use the devices myself.

 

[calaverasgrande]

I better hurry up and go out and buy my 6+, now featurung headphone port! Before the neutered version drops.

No. That app was just an example. In their tests they open all sorts of apps and the iPhone always keep them running in the background while Samsung phones always need to fully load the app again.

Here's a good video:

That is a 6S. I have a 6+ (1gig ram) just like the previous poster and it can't keep apps in the background worth crap. It performs worse than my iPhone 5 i previously had

Again. Agree to disagree. I'm sorry you feel this is dramatic. I hope it didn't traumatize you.

I know it's a 6s

Still. It's an iPhone and with 2GB of RAM, it performs so much better than other devices with more RAM.

The sooner iPhone 7 is released, the sooner we finally get more rumors of the iPhone 8 (or whatever it's labeled).

iPhone 7 is merely another placeholder. A model that's easily ignored. Essential only to those whose ego demands the latest device.

Given that newer is not always better, the smart money will pass, waiting for a better iPhone.

Cool will have a look, interesting , Though this is hardly a realistic user scenario. It's like the PC benchmarks where the macs get owned , but not realistic user journeys.

Saying that, I much prefer using my iPhone 6s

Newer is always better even if it's small things. Who wouldn't want to upgrade from a 6 or 6+ that can't keep apps open and isn't the fastest thing out there? Improved batter life, much improved camera and additional ram is the reason I'm upgrading my 6+ I got launch day.
Now I agree that if you have a 6s or 6s+ from last year it isn't worth it. But updating every year hasn't been worth it ever imo

 

[Sunny1990]

6ME? So...you blatantly make believe their is an iPhone 6ME to be released? Interesting. I will certainly list all my favorite concepts to you regarding the iPhone 7 when I am through completing my list. In the mean time, can you provide a source of where Apple decided to call the iPhone 6ME? I think that would be fascinating to read.

What I am looking forward to in the iPhone 7 is extended battery life, possibility of wireless charging and stereo speakers. I talk in my speaker phone a lot, so this would be useful to me.
