All Apple does anymore is change the sizes of their products and yet people keep buying them.


Agreed. It amazes me at how Apple can take an old phone, add a few minor upgrades and market it as a new device. And of course it'll probably sell like hot cakes because some people continue to buy in to Apple's hype.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Apple goodies but they really need to invent something new. I was bored to death six months after I bought my 6 Plus in 2014. Since then, Apple has brought out nothing that remotely has caught my attention. I'm hoping the iPhone 7 will change that.

Wife dropped her old 5C last week and cracked the screen. Her new SE will be in her hands tomorrow! I love my 64GB 6, but I'm kinda jealous.

Jealous of what? You're wife having any older looking phone with a smaller screen?
 
I can confirm I have the iPad pro 9.7 in hand. Go T-Mobile.

Maybe its because you are getting a phone just about the same as the 6s, in a smaller more comfortable body for over $250 less than a 6s.
 
If this had 3D Touch, my wife would have gotten rid of her 6S.

64 GB Space Grey coming tomorrow for my wife. She has no idea. I'll wait til she's asleep then activate it, restore from iCloud, then swap it in to her 5s case and see how long it takes her to notice. :)

If she has a phone with Touch ID on it, maybe not long.

No, it will sell like hotcakes because a lot of people want the latest tech and much better performance in a smaller package at a lower price.

I guess in your world Apple should instead ignore the market demand and segment of customers who want a smaller phone?

Two years from now they will be complaining the screen size is too small and jump to the 7S. LOL

That is awesome. =)
 
Tough decision. Do I get the 9.7" iPad Pro or do I get the 12.9 inch iPad Pro with fewer features? I guess I don't take photos with my iPad and the Tru Tone display isn't a big deal, but I think the smart thing to do will be to wait for iPad Pro 2 when it gets 3D Touch.

They took a 3 year old phone and gave it the same features and performance of their flagship phone today. That is a brand new phone for people who like the smaller form factor, and better yet, all their 5 and 5s accessories will be compatible.
