I believe one camera will have 6 lenses elements, and the other camera will have 5 lense elements.
Most lenses are not one single lense, but made up of multiple lenses to focus light photons a particular way. With the rumoured wide angle and telephoto dual camera setup, the light will need to be focuses differently for each lense, hence the different elements.
You equate fingerprints with urine? Perhaps washing your fingers after urinating would solve that?
What I'm saying is it's great to have standards. You can have yours, I can have mine and if you have to worry about mine you're worrying about the wrong things.
Oh I suspect they will. But I can see the complaint there ... 'wired headphones don't need a special charging case', and 'it's just one more thing to carry'. But truly it makes the most sense, because where are you going to carry them to protect them when not in use? And argument can be made for just shoving them in your pocket, but there's a risk of losing them in there (and then the whole 'what if you wash them in your pants') argument.
Of course my counter argument is better to carry around a convenient carrying case than deal with the wire management and constant plugging and unplugging. Most people are carrying a bag of some sort anyway to keep them in. My point is that it's nice to have an option, as well as a safety cable option (which doesn't necessarily have to be a charging/wired connection).
Well they should get going on it because it's been around for years, but Apple has always been good about holding a few features back to motivate people to upgrade.
If your hands is sweaty and dirty, then pick the other color.
Some people has clean and not sweaty hands and in good clean environment and love shinny stuff.
A long list of incremental, non-innovative feature improvements doesn't suddenly make the product innovative or worthwhile. Look at the items you listed there. Color options, removal of audio jack, earpiece that becomes a speaker. I mean, really? Steve Jobs would never walk on stage and do product presentation with a list this lightweight.
You can see every scratch regardless what color you have. Also most have cases so where are these scratches appearing from again?

Any link for the general consumer survey?
Huh? The iPhone Plus is the most awkward phone around in terms of design and usability. The Galaxy S7 edge with a 5.5" display feels small in the hand compared to the Plus and is easier to use one handed. Heck the Note 7 is trimmer then the Plus and it has a 5.7" display.

Yes I agree! I wasn't worried about you, just mystified that fingerprints on a mobile phone is an issue at all. All the best!
My guess is it will look similar to the space black Apple Watch, and that thing is very, very sexy.
It's going to be tough choosing between the matte and glossy finish.
There is no hurry, is there?
They may to decide to implement it when they are happy with it, or when they can make the most profit. Either way i expect to see it some time in the future.
Despite your promise that it will not see light of day.
I apologize for not being as clear as I could have been. I'm not bemoaning the existence of option - it's just not a personal choice. I don't always get to work in clean environments. It looks very nice though.
More choices are good IMO. And I am grateful we finally have some real black options back - having two almost makes up for the lack in the last few generations. My 6S grey is jealous.
I think when more and more people try wireless headphones they will become the norm. They are so convenient- especially at the gym. Because they're lightning connected Apple could add more features, like dedicated buttons. I hope they do something cool with them and give an easier way to charge.
You know, it's kinda funny/sad how people don't want to buy quality, long lasting stuff any more. I bought my Audio-Technica M50x's because I hope they last me the rest of my life. Admittedly they aren't even really expensive but audio equipment is something that if you buy the right stuff it lasts nearly forever. If I had the money I would buy a top-line home stereo setup, ( Polk, Klipsch, or something like that) because good sound never goes out of style. Now people just want to buy the latest hot item.
I disagree. I find iOS 10 on a larger phone much easier to use one handed. I tried several times with the galaxy and couldn't even text with it one handed.
That makes some sense, but I have never seen this nomenclature to describe the number of elements in a lens. Normally, the description is just "a 5-element lens" or "this lens consists of/contains 5 elements". But maybe these compact lens & camera modules have their own naming conventions. Have you seen this type of description somewhere else before?
