iPhone 7 Teardown Reveals 'Incredibly Thin' A10 Chip With 2GB RAM, Intel Modem

[LordVic]

Nothing in the mobile industry is really future proof. With the rumors of a 4k display, expanded VR, HDR Amoled Tech, for the S8? A person can argue that a 1080p is yesteryear tech.

To me, if you can get a phone with a processor that will be good enough (A9, A10) for 2 yrs, tons of software updates, get major apps, and doesn't have major bugs, you have a device that is good for awhile. Apple does that even if the spec wars go to Android devices.

What I want in the iPhone 8 is 4 or 6gb RAM (doubt on 6, but 4 is realistic), QHD AMOLED Tech, End to End Display, Quick Charge, Wireless Charging, and whatever else Apple can add in there. Technically 3D is still "future tech" since not many companies offer that with their devices. So I could see 3D Touch being more useful in iOS 11/iPhone 8.

if they add back the headphone port, I'd buy the iPhone8 as you described in a jiffy

It is a delightfully descriptive term isn't it. Admit it, you'll be using it at some point, it's very handy for shouting at the television

I've now got something new to add to my repertoire of screaming at hockey on TV I am a fan of the worst team in the league, So I get my fair share of TV yelling

They could do it because Samsung did it with the SD slot.

Happy to help I have many, many more quaint colloquialisms in my repertoire. One good thing about being Scottish I suppose, such a delightfully colourful take on the English language I dare say many more will crop up in the coming days and weeks as the great iPhone 7 debate continues

Although for shouting at sport on the telly I find, "get it right up ye ya f***** donkeys whalluper, yer aboot as much use as the popes baws!" to be extremely versatile

Adapters suck for many reasons, it's a work-around for some problems and a drawback in other ways.

The adapter being free doesn't change much really.

My reply was to someone saying Apple did it to make it cost more for customers

Well, but there are use cases where you end up having to buy more equipment.

Let's also not forget the quality of Apple's cables, I'd imagine many folks will have to rebuy this adapter.

Oh and then there's the aspect that if you want wired headphones or earphones it'll be Lightning phones if you don't like adapters.

So now Apple gets a cut there as well (licensing).
That alone might be a strong reason why we won't ever see USB-C on iPhones, which is a shame.
