I'm sure the will be an adapter for this which you will leave in your car, plug in and hardly notice.

Not enough to upgrade from Iphone 6 either if you ask me
What's the point of this? It should include the reversed 3.5 mm jack to Lightning adapter so you could plug any headphones into this iPhone.
That's what I'm saying. People will be excited when they actually see high resolution images of the phone and a walkthrough of the features.
I think it's likely that a lot of the thing in this article will happen.
I don't disagree, though admittedly the headphone jack is super convenient.
Despite all the hand wringing, samsung will have at least one model sans headphone jack in 18 months.
What is this? Troll tag team?
Ok, so if this phone looked different then it would be hyped like crazy. Truth be told, if these rumors pan out, this is one of the biggest upgrades we've seen in awhile that hits multiple areas of use. Better screen (if you've seen the new iPad, this is a huge deal), water "resistant" - waterproof for most people's needs, stereo sound (kind of scares me - end a call, sudden max volume music resumes right into your ear), far better storage options than anyone could've hoped, probably the best camera ever in a smart phone depending on your preferences (My Note 5 was the previous winner IMO - just my own thing), and I'm betting by 2018 no smartphone will have a headphone jack
I was extremely lukewarm on this release and was even considering just not upgrading for the first time since iPhone came out. Now I have to set another 3am alarm.

Yes, everyone that is not of the same opinion as you are certainly trolling :S
Sound, a new color, updated screen to match date of ipad pro, bigger battery, updated camera, no home button (force touch), 2 nd speaker, improved water proffing, A10 chip and new M chip, tru tone, new and improved headphones, more RAM, more Space, OMG the list goes on!
Because we want to and we have money to spend? And if we sell our old phones, it generally covers a huge portion of the new purchase?
I agree that the adapter should be included but, come on, if it is, I'd be forced to ask "who are you and what have you done to the real Apple?" - odds are it will be an extra $10.
Having co carry an adapter around on the go isn't the terrible privation that some people make out, but its hardly an upgrade, and it's not clear what you're getting in return. iPad Pro-quality speakers might be nice but, lets be honest, those are only "high quality" relative to what you would expect from such tiny speakers, so they're not going to replace decent external speakers.
Also, as well as investing money in high-quality headphones, people plug phones into home HiFis, cars etc. and often charge them at the same time. So it will be interesting to see if the adapter includes a lightning socket for charging (which will also make it more bulky on-the-go). Or there's the Lightning dock (more $ and not suitable for in-the-car).
Even my Bluetooth headphones have the nice feature that - if they run out of juice or you encounter a Jobsworth flight attendant in the air* - you can plug them in via a 3.5mm cable.
(*the idea that turning on WiFi would cause the plane to fall out of the air seems to have been abandoned now that the airlines have realised they can charge you money for internet access - but the rules seem a bit ambiguous on Bluetooth).
Oh FFS, come on. I already felt robbed paying $950 when I bought the 6 Plus at 128GB, now it's going to be at $1000? Sorry, that's the point where I have to step back and say 'I'm done'. I'm not doing that. I don't care if it's 256GB. Same reason I didn't go for the Note 7, that's too ridiculous to spend on a phone. The $650 for my S7 was really pushing it but it's a decent value, the same price also gets you a 128GB Nexus 6P and I can only assume the new Pixel phones will be around the same. However, for the iPhone, $650 will only get you a 16GB regular 6S, and this new one I assume will be a regular 7 at 32GB, not upgradable or anything.
There comes a time when you have to step back and say, "Enough."
It's not about making it thinner. Given the dimensions are pretty similar to the 6S.
For opinion to count it has to have base in fact coupled along with some post history overview of the two it doesn't take 4 scientists to come to conslusion.
A 32GB base model (though at least three years overdue) is probably my favorite news about the iPhone 7. I was originally thinking about waiting and getting a 64GB 6S once the prices dropped but now I may as well go for the base model 7.
For those wondering why there would be two new dark colours, think Apple Watch...
I think the darker black is the same anodised aluminium as the other iPhones, like the Sport Apple Watches. It will come in the same storage tiers and prices as the other new iPhones.
The piano black is the Space Black Apple Watch, maybe made of steel or some liquid metal alloy and covered in the same Diamond-like coating.
It will only come in 256GB and it will be the top of the range with a price tag to match.

Based on this leak Timothy has been very busy...counting his money and not much else.
No worries, your initial spew indicated that you're confused about Apple's leeway.
Absolutely! Perhaps you're also confused about whether these forums (and the number of "likes") in any way reflect the real world of consumer's desires and views?
Yes, Macrumors needs to make up its own rumors, rather than source the best they can from other, reliable, reputable places.
Seriously, a silly comment.
