Great journalism effort MR getting unreleased footage of Schiller, Cook, Cue, and Ive practicing their presentation for Tuesday's event.
BTW is Apple planning on releasing a "My First iPhone" for the kindergarten set? Sure looks it.
3D emoji ?
Truth be told , not a single feature announced is making 7S look lower end.
I guess the more accurate description would be, the amount of gimmicks in the 8 might get people to upgrade.
Though....when looking at accessibility and useability, 7S with the touchid may well be a much better device. I used the Samsung S8 for 2 weeks, and my iPhone 6S was a much better user experience based on the touchid alone
I guess I'm alone, but I think it looks pretty cool. I love the added focus on Messages recently. iMessage was very boring. Now my mom sends me GIFS of cats and s***.
...maybe for teenagers. But who buys their 16 year old a phone for 1000€?
The day having animoji becomes a status sysmbol for high end tech and branding , we get a problem.
Sounds like a gimmick
iOS 10 lets you type the name of the emoji and predictive typing then offers a selection of icons. If you're not using predictive typing, then you're out of luck. Furthermore, we all have an "emoji footprint", that is, 10 to 20 icons that we use regularly, and that selection is available at the ready at the far left of the list, under "favorites".
Ooooooooo NEW EMOJI's!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Actually I am kidding, but the following poster is correct. This Emoji feature will sell iPhones if Apple is the only one to have it for a while. Security only becomes important if your phone is lost or stolen or hacked and if hacked, you find out about it. People should care about security features but they don't.
I honestly do believe you are correct.
There has to be a line. How are we going to cope in a few years when we have 6000 emojis to use.
Not even really sure how they will sell the 7s at this point unless the price is really compelling. Might as well just keep the 7 and drop the price.
You find your favorite media star, someone famous for being famous, and whatever they use you use.
Stupid **** like this is actually making me look at the Note 8. And I hate Android.
Yes, not sure how I will live without this feature.
While 3D emojis may not appeal the technology behind this is great. The 3D facial recognition system is going to be the best out there.
Unless there is only $100 difference between the 7s Plus and the iPhone Emoji edition-sorry, iPhone 8- a lot of people won't have much choice. Unless wireless providers subsidize the phone many can't afford it.

You will only be delaying the inevitable. Android too will be infected.
Apple bought Faceshift a few years back.
Thought they would do something like this with iPhone 7 Plus and the dual cameras, but now it is coming.

I'm wondering if the iPad is Apple's replacement for the Mac Mini. With iOS 11, it's more capable. And it's about the same price. The Mini acted as Apple's server replacement. It's worked well for that purpose, but with High Sierra there are rumors that imaging and deployment will no longer be an option. If so, then the Mini has less of a reason for being in Apple's line-up. After five years with no update, I don't think the Mini will be around much longerAll this and still no updated Mac Mini
But I'm happy to be proven wrong.
So now when I’m trying really hard to squeeze a poop out, I can send my friends a poop emoji squinting really hard.

Stay off rumor sites then. The majority of the population knows nothing about this....
Ohh-kayyy....
Hopefully, there are also features for the less "emoji-nal" of us.
As for 16y olds with 1k iPhones - a lot of parents (esp. if both of them have full-time jobs), carry a lot of guilt with them about this. That's how 16y old end up with 1k iPhones...
