I hope they beefed up the lightning port because with all the adapters, dongles and cables that need to be plugged into it I can see it being the first thing to fail.
Because we can? But on a less snooty response, people like to have the latest and greatest. If they're able to have it, why not? Some people run businesses and their entire lives on their phones (I personally know 2 people who run their business from their phones 90% of the time) so why not make sure you have the most powerful device to be as efficient and able as possible.
True, but from my 5S, it's sure more than enough. As it would be from a 6 and a 6S, I believe.
I still believe that wireless AirPods will be in the box (or a costed extra, but the primary Apple option), not lightning-earphones.
If Tim has to sell the solution to the loss of the 3.5 port as a different wired option, and an adapter for legacy, then there is absolutely no benefit to the consumer, and there will be booing in the auditorium.
'Going wireless' tells a story.. it's forward-looking (even though I don't like it).
Lightning-earphones is backwards, proprietary, and just makes no sense.

You serious? The Lightning port is the most durable port I've ever seen.
So those are the amazing new features that required dropping the most ubiquitous connector in consumer electronics?
If you can't innovate or design then repaint it in new colors.
But apple has always been proprietary. Lightening/30 pin instead of USB. MagSafe instead of whatever pcs use. DisplayPort/thunderbolt instead of vga/hdmi. You have always had to buy adaptors to link in to the real world with apple. They have always done their own thing and have never suffered because of it.
Tell that to samsung.Damn ****ing we need a new iPhone after two years
I don't know about the rest of you, but I would be worried about that piano black..... Unless that color is a very hard coating over the aluminum it will no doubt be very easy to scratch. It will look very nice new though... Almost like a single sheet of glass.
Apart from the new black colour, but i put my 6s plus in a case so wouldn't really notice the new colour anyway
Normally I don't chime in on these types of threads but...what sort of things do you expect to be put into a new phone? Lets mention Samsung for example. For how long have galaxy phones all looked about the same? Yet Apple makes a similar design and all of your heads explode. It's going to be a great upgrade and a gorgeous phone like always, and you'll probably buy it too. It's no different than any other year.
Apple puts a lot of time and thought into making things work well, not just throwing stuff together quickly because people might want some new feature. I for one appreciate that because then my phone works without lag and a bunch of garbage eating my battery. If they gave you every single thing you wanted you'd have android.

Space Blue for me.
Can't wait to take my iPhone into the shower....

There have been numerous articles posted over the past few months talking about the rumor of Apple removing the 3.5mm jack. If you look back at those articles, the numbers of responses are astounding and the vast majority of responses are from people furious about the potential (probably imminent) 3.5mm jack removal.
The 3.5mm jack is a universal standard across laptops, automobiles, desktops, music players, stereos, mobile phones, tablets, even in-seat audio jacks on most passenger airlines. Removing this standard is a complete slap in the face to millions of consumers who have spent a lot of money on high quality headphones, earbuds, speakers, etc. that all use the 3.5mm standard.
I know people love to compare removing the 3.5mm jack to eliminating the old floppy or CD, but those were upgrades to new standards embraced by the entire computer industry as a move forward in technology and convenience.
If removed, Apple will have taken away a reliable open standard, replacing it with their proprietary standard, and I'm confident virtually no other equipment manufacture will ever embrace Lightning (I'm not talking about headset/earbud manufactures, I'm talking about other desktop, laptop, tablet, stereo, phone, automobile, music player, and aircraft manufactures). You are never going to see widespread acceptance of Lightning on other devices.
With this potential bonehead decision Apple does not move us forward, they lock us into a standard they control/own and move us away from the mainstream into a segregated solution that is not even available on Apple’s own computer line ... which coincidently uses the 3.5mm audio jack.
So what might Apple give us in return, maybe they shave a faction of a millimeter (bid deal) from the phone's thickness, and/or maybe we get a second (or better) speaker because they want us to believe we need some kind of so-called “stereo sound”. It’s pathetic!
Give us back the 3.5mm jack and keep your second/improved speaker. We don’t need a so-called stereo in our pockets.

Are these rumors always true? Because a dual camera is a pretty serious upgrade tbh.
I'll definitely get the 6SE Plus but iphones are free every year so not a big deal. Waterproof, camera, stereo speakers, along with more ram, faster proc, wider colors, etc. The only drawback is loss of headphone jack. Hopefully Apple can sell that better on the 7th.
The non Plus users probably need to think about it though.

Who said need? Relax man and let people enjoy (or not) what they want.
IPX7 is interesting as that classification included the ability to sustain pressurised water jets. Pressure washer etc.
Def a step in the right direction.

No, they are not...that is why they are "rumors". But we will find out in a few days.
This actually sounds like a decent upgrade, if true. The upgraded earpiece for stereo sound is much more likely than a second speaker at the bottom imo. Not sure if I can believe both "dark black" and "piano black" being new colors at the same time though.
