No it won’t Irrelevant...
It will still be an amazing phone that people will enjoy. The average customer don’t care about getting the latest and greatest. They go with their upgrade cycle.

Which is why the iPhone Upgrade Program imo is great. Why worrying about a holding a phone for as long as you can when you can just get a new one on the yearly basis.
I wish Apple has that program worldwide.
That's what makes the 7 - difficult choice to make
It will be blown out the water next year and it's now such a huge price jump above the 6s
Upgrade programmes therefore makes sense this year - but I doubt Apple will prioritise these upgrades above the new buyers, come 2017

I think the 7 will be just as relevant as the 6S was. They all see a decline in relevance when the new model comes out.
With the Samsung phone recall, I am betting that Apple will be very happy with the 7 sales.
And I'm trying to enjoy to my iPhone 7/7 Plus without thinking about the iPhone 8. So many rumors to keep up with, it's nice to enjoy the new device at hand.
The iPhone 7, while not a huge leap forward, is still a great iPhone and will be relevant for the next few years. Even the 6s is still a contender.
Not worrying about the 8 now. Enjoying my 7+ to no end. The 8 and all the hoopla about it will be here soon enough. While it all sounds good, such a major redesign can also come with problems. Hope Apple does it's homework.
that's the pattern, not the rule. Apple isn't beholden to that and can just as easily change it up. you know, "courage" and all that.
There's always rumours of the next iPhone as soon as a new one is released.
The iPhone 7 won't be made anymore irrelevant than previous iPhones have been when the new one comes out.
Consumers less fussed about having the latest and greatest will still opt for the 6S or the 7 to save money on their monthly bill and I'm sure plenty of 7 owners have taken 24 month contracts and will be happy to keep their 7 until their contract runs out and they can get the 2018 model.
The fact that the next iPhone might be a bigger upgrade than usual really doesn't make the 7 irrelevant.

lol what? my iPhone 7+ is going to rock for years to come, and if I want to upgrade, i can, its not like were excluded from upgrading lol so silly
Unless they're coming up with an interface technology other than screen (ie. holographic projection) and an input system other than onscreen keyboard and Siri, it basically amounts to the same thing. Either way I'll be doing the same things I've been doing on my phone today.
The 8 does sounds great. The OLED screen will be a giant leap ahead in my opinion.
