Hmm sounds good, but will this be a one of special edition phone, or will the smaller iPhone get a new design, hopefully a bezeless 5" screen... still very mixed rumours about it all.
I've been telling ^^ to everyone (friends, family, co-workers, etc) who ask me about info and release dates for well over a year (when I actually realized that 2017 would be the 10th anniversary edition). It just makes sense. If they don't call it that, I'm going to be overwhelmingly disappointed. This is the year to get out of the naming rut and make a badass phone with a badass name to go along with it. I mean, (this is a question to everyone, not just OP) when someone asks you what iPhone you have, don't you just wanna be able to say, "It's an 'X'"?
Oh my, how times have changed. That render reminds me of Galaxy S phone. Remember when MR would constantly post a render of the Apple Watch. It was a nice traditional looking round watch. Everyone here got used to seeing it, but then that nerdy, cheap looking square watch showed up. Lol
Unfortunately iPhone 7 was the 10th iPhone, it doesn't feel quite as neat once you consider that.
If this is true, it means one thing: the margins–at least initially–are going to be meaningfully worse than the current iPhone, beyond what you would normally see for tooling changes. The reason Apple moves production dates well ahead of intros is so that they can use sea freight to deliver the bulk of the shipments, instead of air freight. The cost of a 747 load of merchandise is many multiples of the cost of that shame shipment via the slow boat from China.
Assuming these plans pan out, look for this to be a topic of discussion in the quarterly earnings call in October and January.

The aluminum body has not been "used since the 4s." The 4s had a glass back.
Yeah, that does discount it a bit, but I was really just meaning the 10th anniversary (not necessarily 10 iPhone iterations).
Makes sense, the next iPhone will probably be one that celebrates the 10th anniversary, if it is a complete redesign like the rumours have suggested then Apple may need the time to test and then make them, especially if they are expecting huge sales which I think will happen. Also it makes sense since Apple more or less kept the same design for the iPhone 7 (still a great device tho I love the dual lens camera). I'm looking forward to what they announce, I just hope they have enough to pre-order without dates slipping very quickly.
Also if Apple have new components then they will may need more time to trial them, if things like wireless charging are true then this may be the case and or the OLED rumour, yeilds for OLED will probably need to be taken into account as well.

I think we're totally gonna get a 7s and 7s Plus to appease all of those not willing to pay more for the next iPhone/people on iUP. Then we'll get the fabled new 'iPhone 8' or 'iPhone X' or something ridiculously more expensive than the other two, with a new design (though not as radical as people are hyping) with a bunch of new features/materials/colours. Then next year all phones will meet that same design and will get a spec bump.
My issue with this method is fragmentation of the iPhone line up. But I just can't see them redesigning all iPhones this year, it's gotta be a special edition that people have to be willing to fork out significantly for.
Apple love an opportunity to hike prices.

I agree that if in fact the new iPhone uses OLED it could be more expensive. However, OLED displays for phones aren't really new tech, right? The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge both use OLED and they have been able to keep the cost in line with, or cheaper than the iPhone. . Of course, we will be paying the "Apple Tax" and as such should expect the price to be higher.

Seriously? You ordered 6 weeks ago and still don't have them? I lucked out and got a pair from Verizon. . .They were happy to sell them to me even though I'm not a customer. In fact, I received them about a week after release.
Return it immediately! This rumor significantly diminishes the performance of the iphone 7
I should have just picked them up at the store. I forgot why I even ordered them now
Because you're like me and wanted a new toy.
But really, I like them. I'm not an audiophile nor claim to be, but for commuting on the train they are perfectly fine. I hope they arrive soon!
Last time I got mad at Apple for releasing the same design a 3rd year in a row and decided to jump ship... I ended up with a phone whose battery explodes and a crappy bloated, messy OS which I hated.... I learned my lesson and will be sticking to whatever Apple releases going forward
I was gonna be an ass and just say "source"....in place of that I'll just say, isn't every singe design a compromise?
The 8 will be the 7s only called 8. Of course it will come out after the Samsung 8 and will have been rushed to market with bugs that will take another 4 or 5 months to fix.
