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

Failure to release a brand new redesigned device next year would be suicide for Apple. They're already losing a lot of loyalty and respect, this would be the final nail.

If they simply release an updated 7 next year, I will personally protest outside Infinite Loop for Cook's immediate removal.

I wonder if it'll be a Product Red product.
I'm really excited excited but it seems like they're adding colors just for sales. Instead of a new color every 2 years, they've introduced 3 in the past 2 years.

I am sure a new marketing video from Apple will tell us that they have worked 2 years on this new color and it will be the best color they ever had. Like the 8 years on the Apple Design book with product photos from the marketing department.

Unfortunately they'll make it so you have to pay more for an "iPhone Pro" to get the new design. I'll pay more if it's a legitimately better device than the 7s, but not if it's just a fancy new design. Perhaps all the rumors about the glass have just been about this wireless charging version that is more expensive. I just hope it comes in sizes smaller than the 7s Plus. I'd be fine with reduced bezels and 5-5.2" display with dual cameras.

Please tell me they are joking? Please... if there's no major update after THREE years of the same design then I'm pretty sure this company wants to commit suicide.

what?

What do you mean 3 years of the same design? I mean, yea, so? Let me go back a little bit for you, not quite to the beginning but back a ways.

iPhone 4 - squared off edges, glass front/back
iPhone 4s - same as 4, better internals

iPhone 5 - squared off edges like the 4. Minor design change
iPhone 5s - same as 5, better internals

iPhone 6 - rounded edges, all aluminum body
iPhone 6s - same as 6, better internals

iPhone 7 - rounded edges like the 6. Minor design change
.....

Are you seeing the pattern? The iPhone 4, 4s, 5, and 5s were all similar designs. Likewise, one could fully expect the iPhone 6, 6s, 7, and whatever's next to follow suit.

To be distraught about no "major update after THREE years" means you haven't been paying attention.

No re-design for the 10th anniversary special? Oh well, so long as it has more emoji I've be happy. If Apple could find a way to allow me to attach an iWatch band to it as well, that would be super cool. That's more than enough innovation for me.

Of course there will be an iPhone 7s. Never understood why people dismissed it to being with.

New design or not, the 7 design remains solid. Only geeks on internet are complaining, people love the form factor and the accessories.

Why?! This is 10th anniversary we're speaking of, I cannot believe this is true...

Sure you can. It may be the 10th anniversary of Steve Job'siPhone but it's the 6th anniversary of his Tim Cook. I can totally see Tim Cook doing this and Phil Schiller coming out and telling people that Apple scoured the far flung reaches of the earth to formulate a red that has never been seen before. And it's manufactured with a unique 1 million pigment process using only the finest Albanian pigs to produce.

Why would anyone be surprised if this rumor becomes fact? Tim Cook has been BSing us since Jobs past about how the next year was going to be a banner product year... which never came. In 6 years of Cook rule not only has Apple not produced one all-new industry disruptive product, service, or feature, but it's allowed other companies to either catch up or leapfrog it. I mean Amazon is the leader in voice/home automation now while HomeKit, well who the hell knows what HomeKit is. Siri doesn't even know half the time, and never on a Mac.

I love how everyone is revved up and clamoring for the super redesigned iPhone 8...literally stroking their credit card in anticipation.

But the 2016 MBP is lauded as a "first gen failure that nobody should buy - wait on the next gen for bugs to be fixed as it's currently trash."

Funny how that works. Maybe a 7s is the best idea here, based on the redesign tears with the laptop line.

I'm already wanting to fly there from Australia to protest about what he's done to Apple... Starting with the Mac lineup being slowly destroyed all the way to the AirPorts being discontinued.
 
if they release the same phone design for 4 years in a row my current iPhone will be the last iPhone for me.
It's like they wouldn't even be trying at that point, it would be disappointing to see apple stuck with suck old hardware compared to competitors.

Only if it becomes the cheap iphone of the lineup will we have more colors.
