SE and iPhone 7 are likely placeholders because the design of the '2017' iPhone aka iPhone 8 with edge-to-edge display was delayed further. We should see yearly cycles for all three devices starting 2017

If they again fail to put OIS into the camera on the 4.7" model then all hope is lost for the smaller iPhone, I hope the rumours are true but they were pretty thin rumours on this topic.
It should be noted that the official apple docks have a 3.5 mm jack built in them while only connecting to the phone via lightning.
THE SIGNS WERE THERE ALL ALONG!!
Well according to some around here Apple will never introduce an edge to edge display because a large bezel is preferable. I guess time will tell.
Why doesn't Apple move that tag to the much larger Lightning hole nearby- probably won't even need the endoscopes for that one.
Or how about putting the tag in the faux speaker holes on the side where the 3.5mm jack used to be?
I know, I know. Water can only enter the 3.5mm jack hole. Water chooses to ignore those other holes.
Oh yeah I totally forgot about those fake speaker holes! I seriously hope they put something behind them, otherwise removing the headphone jack to replace it with fake speaker holes is ******* stupid!
If that's the case then it's the piano black for me!! Definitely it will stand out in a sea of iphones.
yes, so for all those who like to listen to the jack while the phone is charging....the apple lightning dock is there

No, no, no, no, NO! If Apple does anything, it is genius. Faux speaker holes for a non-speaker create an aesthetic symmetry of design making it so much more appealing than any iPhone ever made. It is a perfecting of an already perfect case, magically more perfect than ever before. Beyond perfect. The retina screen of perfection. Our limited human senses cannot even grasp the full perfection of THIS perfection. Genius I tell you. G-E-N-I-U-S.
Besides, maybe the headphone adapter "tail" soon to be hanging out of many iPhones can lock into those faux speaker holes to better secure it to the base of the iPhone. Don't want a fragile, prone-to-fraying, Lightning cable flopping around, you know. Again, GENIUS! Genius times 2. Doubly Genius. What's the word?..
Magically, Retina-Perfect, Genius Squared

The SE was just released in March so its pretty earlier for it receive an update. Perhaps next Spring.
Because I totally want a dongle on my headphones..... that I have to keep charged. Look I'm not against new and better, just make sure it's actually better. I have Bluetooth headphones as well (that interestingly enough have wires, so I get lower quality AND tangled buds
but they are used in a loud environment so I don't care) but I'm under no premise that people are going to flock out to buy new headphones for the simple reason I keep coming back to, charging. And proprietary Lightning headphones are going to be irritating. If the alleged adapter is really included with the new iPhone, I would be curious to see which way it adapts.
This would be a huge feature for the 4.7 iPhone. I'm thinking if Apple does Implement OIS, they will definitely touch on this.
I've never seen it described this way either, it took me a few seconds to work it out.
I think they were abbreviating or using industry jargon. Remember that Ming-Chi Kuo's reports are using industry sources. These sources may have used this nomenclature when giving him this info.
Which research has led you to this opinion?
What I have read about it makes it very appealing.
"Least useful feature ever"... just screams childish blustering.

In a couple of years this will all work quite smoothly I am sure. As with most stuff in tech: there is never a final perfect solution on sale, it's all in flow and transition, easier for some than for others, but that is how it is.
I have a Note 7 in my hand right now and I'm not concerned at all. I'll get it replaced soon with a new one. I'm waiting on Apple to release a large screen phone that looks as nice and modern as my Note 7.
For me the most frustrating thing is how all the best features are going to the 5"+ version.
Which would be fine if they made that overall phone smaller and easier to hold, like the Galaxy S 7 edge or note 7 which are much easier to grasp.
The 6+ is massive in comparison and without a case is super slippery.
Very disappointed

Not sure what that has to do with anything. Airplay is a protocol to stream audio and video over IP networks. Apple has never used it to stream audio to headphones (because it would be very inefficient in terms of battery life).
Whenever Apple doesn't have the technology to do something they always paint the opposing option as the preferable choice. Of course that all changes once Apple has the ability to do it themselves.
Why? I don't put mine in a case. Can't stand them
