yeah my iPhone 6 is fine, hopefully they can blow some minds with an apple watch 2 soon. That is the product that I am looking forward to

Ya, but if the headphone jack is gone, I'll skip the watch update as well and start shopping android ones. My co-workers have several different android watches and I have to say, pretty impressive. I love my Apple watch and my 6s but Apple is losing touch with customers, too bad.
 
im not sure what "big change" everyone is looking for. Are you all wanting it to curve like the Galaxy? Im sure we will see very similar specs to the new galaxy except the expandable memory. What is you all are looking for?

For me, yeah. If it had the curved glass I'd get it, or something similar. While I'm sure the internals will be great, and I do like the design of my 6, It'd take an esthetic change for me to bite the bullet. I'm just not the type of user to really take full advantage of the performance upgrades. I'm hoping next year it might happen. It might never happen, but I'll wait.
 
Boy things are looking worse and worse for the 7. I think the Titanic is about to hit the iceberg :(
 
I really do hope this iPhone is better than what its panning out to be from all the leaks... Apple has been known to leak things and then those leaks end up be dead on. Some not. I'm just hoping apple may be playing with us and is going to unleash something awesome but I doubt it. Especially since the anniversary is not until next year. I have the Galaxy S7 and it is so far ahead of the 6s.. Granted it is a model year newer but really its only half a year difference anyways. There are too many features on the S7 to list that the 6s doesn't even give an answer to. For now I will be sticking with my S7 but honestly I do hope apple knocks it out of the park here soon...

I guess I will list some features that the S7 has!

OLED screen (Love it! and it IS the best screen on a smartphone right now.)
Larger battery (3000mah)
Larger screen than the 6s but nearly the same size phone
Samsung pay samsung pay samsung pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quick charge
Water proof
Camera is amazing, I have people tell me all the time how amazing pictures and videos look on my phone. They really do look stunning.
The stock camera app is very nice especially with the pro mode.
Micro SD Card slot!!! I put a 128gb in my S7 so now its up to 160gb!
Always on display is handy!
LED notifications
Heart rate monitor (I don't use this but hey!)
Multi window multi touch
SOS messages
Customizable themes!
Wireless charging
The capacitive touch buttons are super handy.
S7's app store allows a two hour return policy (Kinda cool? :) )


things I miss about iPhone?

iMessage................... ;(
But I guess I can live without it!

- Smart Connector support on the Plus model
- Wireless charging
- 4 GB of RAM
- 512 GB Storage, 64 GB default
- OLED display
- Extremely thin
- iOS 11
 
For me, yeah. If it had the curved glass I'd get it, or something similar. While I'm sure the internals will be great, and I do like the design of my 6, It'd take an esthetic change for me to bite the bullet. I'm just not the type of user to really take full advantage of the performance upgrades. I'm hoping next year it might happen. It might never happen, but I'll wait.

You don't care about performance upgrades, just want a different looking phone?
 
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.

We tell ourselves this every year. I hope you are right and apple surprises us. But unfortunately history says it's pretty unlikely.
 
One thing is for certain, I'm not in any rush to buy at launch from my 6S Plus. I'll wait till I see a good deal on eBay without having to pay taxes cause I'm not spending another $1,000 for the slight improvement.

I think Apple would of been better off just not making a new phone this year if they can't get next year's phone this year.
 
So let me see if I have this correct--an article containing a photo of purported iPhone 7 case molds is posted on MR because the pictured molds DON'T contain a rumored, but unconfirmed, color...so that could mean the unconfirmed color won't be available. Maybe.

This is gold, Jerry, pure gold (or maybe space gray?)!
 
Me too - I'll skip this one & stick with my 6 for yet another year!

Anyway more to the point, why are we discussing iPhones on Pokemonrumors.com

I definitely want to upgrade, but if all these rumors are true, I'm also 99% sure I'll stick with my iPhone 6 (or even switch to next Nexus).

And, SO TRUE about pokemonrumors :):):)
 
I wish this blog site would actually do more research to find out what the real rumors are about products that aren't out as opposed to speculation and leaks of product lines they already have in the store.

They used to do this.

Now they don't.

That really sucks. I was hoping for a darker blue or almost black phone, the iPhone 5 in Slate color was my favorite.
The Space Gray color on the iPod 5/6th generation is probably the closest to what we might see in the new Space Gray iPhone.
 
Happier still with my SE with every new iPhone 7 story, keep 'em coming :D
Totally. The SE is my baby and I can see myself using it for as long as it holds up--it was fully paid for and not on an upgrade plan. I can still trade up my 6SPlus on AT&T Next to get a phablet with a better camera and for the first time I'm going to be paying close attention to the Samsung Note7.

Since my SE will keep me in my still beloved iOS and will still be my one true phone, I'm going to branch out in my consideration of phablet options. Because I do still use my 6S Plus for a lot of stuff on wifi and I still take video with it. It occupies an interesting niche I didn't anticipate. So I haven't totally lost interest in this size category. But my reaction so far to the IPhone 7 leaks is :confused:

I might be the only one that thinks this but I don't like the way the new antenna lines look on this. I prefer the 6 and 6s way more.
Yeah it's not the improvement I thought it would be. Odd, I guess it goes to show you really should be careful what you wish for.
 
Yikes, that's a real step back, Apple. Hell, the Nexus 5X successor probably will offer more appeal.
 
Not one to let the subject of Pokemon GO be absent in a MR article discussion, I think Apple should have a Pokemon GO! version of the iPhone 7. If they timed it right, it could be a huge success! :D;)
 
I really wish there was a way Apple could make those antenna line thicker. They're not thick enough! *sarcasm*
 
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.

My iPhone case happens to be thin and clear. so yah, you can see the bands and everything. But it doesn't bother me like it did when the iPhone 6 first came out. In all admittance, the iPhone is one of the ugliest flagship phones out on the market compared to all the other competitors i.e. Samsung but I really do appreciate how thin, and light, and battery life on the iPhone. Skip the 7 and waiting for 8.
