'iPhone 7s' and 'iPhone 7s Plus' Said to Come in All-New Red Color, Lack New Design and Wireless Charging

The glass back is not there just for looks (although I'm sure it will help in the looks department). To do the type of wireless charging that Apple is trying to pull off, the glass back is essential for properly wireless transparency.
Any rumors for the SE replacement? Since I don't have complaints about my 6S just yet, if I'm buying a new iPhone, it would be the the cheaper SE price point.
I'm all for more color option. The gold and rose gold options are getting stale as every Chinese phones are doing the same color option.
And please color match the stupid antenna bands. Seriously. Apple can color match them for the black and jet black, so why leave ugly thick white lines for the rest?

One person's attempting to call out fanboism is another person's making a point.
But we will see. The "cure" according to some might be worse than the "disease".

When you buy a car and this years model is similar to last years model, do you walk out the door? Or do you find out it's a new engine, new brake design etc?
Neither, I do my research online and wouldn't buy a car that looks almost identical to my current car.

What point were you attempting to make about about iPhone sales/the direction of Apple by making a snarky remark about Samsung phones? Sorry I missed it.
The car analogy doesn't really work either. People dont turn over cars at anything like the same rate as a smartphone. If people only bought a new phone every 6 years (average length of ownership in the US) Apple would have more to worry about that the minute internal upgrades they're put in the latest model.
A six year old iPhone would be as good as useless at this point.
He's not a moron, he's just not a visionary like Jobs. He's the CEO equivalent of a game manager quarterback in football.
Perhaps I jumped to conclusions. It may not be a vision problem, but the voices in your head... Who are you quoting?
The SE and the 7plus are awesome phones. You won't be disappointed with a SE replacement or a 7s.
What rumors are suggesting is that next year, you'll get both, a 7S and an 8
"We have the strongest pipeline that we've ever had and we're really confident about the things in it, but as usual we're not going to talk about what's in it."
"Our aim was to create an all-enveloping magical experience that celebrates our enormous respect for tradition while recognizing our excitement about the future and things to come."
I hope that you enjoy your new iPhone 6sss — it’s a fantastic phone!

A moron CEO who's primary job is to bring in as much money as possible. I could've sworn Apple has had record profits under that moron. How dare he do his job so well, who does this guy think he is?
As Predicted. 4.7" 7s LCD A11. 5.5" 7s LCD A11. 5.7" OLED, Wireless Charge, All new Design (Either iPhone Pro, or 10th ann.) BIG $$$
No OLED across the line until 2018.
Tim's departure just can't come soon enough. Pathetic leadership, QC, and just plain greed.
Or with Apple getting on board the OLED train, supplies of OLED screens will be seriously tight in 2017. Other Samsung, the rest of the panel manufacturers won't be able to meet Apple's supply needs until 2018

"People familiar with the matter said Apple will likely rely on Samsung for most of its initial OLED needs but it wants LG Display, Japan Display and Sharp to ramp up production to have supplies ready for 2018."
The point, since you admit you missed it, are these phones are expensive. The entire lot of them, and Samsung produces devices that essentially look like one another and they sell.
And cars sell even though many popular models are similar to previous years.

But many people do. My friends 2016 MB looked very much like his 2015 MB. Typical buyer? I can't say.
"The odds of an OLED phone next year are looking less and less likely as supply issues haven't been solved yet."
Exactly. People don't seem to understand that. Especially when you consider that Apple makes over 200 million iPhones a year.
paraphrasing... translating.... objectively adding as much value as you.
there will be a new design, but these phones will be sold alongside the new design.
He's not right for Apple. I didn't say he was bad at his job. He's just the wrong man for this specific job. He is totally boring and if Apple continue to play it safe, they will start struggling to maintain momentum.
