Well, no new back color(s) would be sad, specially a darker shade of gray.
Anyway, most people carry their iPhones in a case so the color never shows.
I don't mind the camera bump. If it's larger it means the camera will be better, so I'm totally up for that.
As for the headphone jack, I don't mind either if it's gone. I use bluetooth cans for the gym (really hate cables) and only use the stock earbuds at the office.
I'm ready for my 7 Plus/Pro!

People seem to get their knickers in a twist about the lack of a wow factor. But when you look around, many other manufacturers offer the same iterative updates and don't get hammered for it.

Those other manufacturers are also not Apple. The higher expectations when it comes to Apple exist for a reason. If Apple can't manage anymore to hold their lead, may it be caused by too much self-satisfaction or simply by missing technical innovations which they aren't blamable for – hey, I'll accept this. But "only" being as good as the competition (or even slightly above) surely makes it difficult to keep on selling their products with the steep Apple tax.

To be honest, it doesn't really look like the 3.5 mm jack is present. Usually it is visible from this angle.
compared to this:

[ photos snipped]

When i look at my SE i can't see the jack from that angle. I have to tip it up more.

Not thrilled over losing the jack but then I didn't like having to remember a 30pin-lightning adapter back a few generations either. How to listen and charge though? Another adapter...
 
Bigger and bigger cam, gee. Pretty soon photos of faraway planets?!
That said, since they never, ever, reproduced with any detail, I'd long ago given up taking pictures with my iPhone of pretty moons.

I own the 5S, have never owned an iPad, and pretty much have decided I'm going to get the + this year. Because the iPhone is the only camera I've ever owned, I'm looking forward to taking better pictures... of the moon! o_O

With what seems like four new iPhone 7 rumors being published every week, by the time September rolls around, we'll be so sick and tired and bored of looking at the thing, the official unveiling will undoubtedly be a let down.

That's what you get when you sneak around, snooping in closets before Christmas time... No surprise on the big day.

Kinda takes the fun out of it.
 
I find it really funny that the design is leaking all over the place, yet we still don't know if there's an audio jack. I think Cook is having an awesome time laughing with Ivy, during their meetings where they decide what should be leaked and what shouldn't.

I agree. We all know that the upcoming iPhone will look similar to that of previous model.

All we are clamoring to know is whether or not the audio jack will be removed.
 
I just can't stop thinking of how fugly the iPhone 7 it's gonna be. (I know nobody has seen it yet, but don't get into self-delusion and start with that stupidity—we all know how rumors work and how this will end up being the real thing.)

I mean, look at that giant camera and how frigging protruding is. And the fact that it's still not centered doesn't help neither.

For real, for someone who supposedly cares so much about aesthetics (to the point of having an insane obsession with making products thinner and thinner even if that mean sacrificing features), this is just too much.

Jony, please stop smoking whatever you are smoking since Steve passed away.

I don't understand all the fuss about antenna bands and color of the case. Almost every iPhone I see out in use, is in a case, so you really don't see either the color or the bands. I never really paid any attention to the antenna bands, and actually never thought about them being bands for anything other than some style.
You people must not have much else going on in life.

Take the SE. It is small, nice and cost less. I had an 6s, sold it, taked an SE. Very happy with it.
 
Sorry, but the Mark III iPhone 6 is just plain ugly.
What a terrible "designer" Ives is; he's grown lazy, unimaginative and is overall just truly past it.
Penny-pinching Tim is no better.
The best hope for Apple would be for the 2 of them to be strapped to the outside of Elon Musk's next rocket and blasted into space.

I tend to think it's become apparent that Ive might never have been a great designer - probably not much more than a decent CAD operator. Nothing particularly good looking or innovative has come from Apple since Steve Jobs died (I know you can't say these things here, it may be cliched but it seems to be true!), they can't even figure out antenna bands that others hide so well! Jobs probably had far more influence over the actual designs than we first thought...
