They will have very different internals. They are a very tiny bit thinner, have a glass back, and a Stainless Steel Frame. Apple will be cranking the 7s+ out the door. The 8 will be a "Special Edition" type product for those willing to pay the premium for being first. The VAST majority of Q1 and Q2 sales will be the 7s and 7s+. IMO, many are going to sit back and evaluate the new ID System on the 8. If it works then you'll see an increase in 8 sales by Q3 2018 if supply allows. Personally, I'm just not feeling secure about the 8 and Facial Recognition until I 'See it' functioning in the Wild for a while. :apple:
Then I think standard 7s and 7s Plus will bomb.
They won't even sell as much as 7 and 7 Plus (which performed poorly)
Not just because they look very un-inspiring and similar to 7,but also because everyone will look at 8 and think, why I should pay so much money and still get the inferior phone (8 being the real new model).

I just don't understand Apple's startegy on this, iPhone IS a premium product..there is no need to make an extra premium model.
What is refereed to as iPhone 8,should have been the next iPhone.(minus that ugly vertical lens of course)

iPhone 7 sales performed poorly? https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/01/i...the-top-spot-in-the-global-smartphone-market/

7s and 7s Plus will do fine. The Air is uninspiring but people still buy it even though the MB screen is visibly better. At some point people do consider their pocketbook. At some point $100 is $100 more than they can afford to spend.

The iPhone 7 and 7s are premium products. The other models are compromises at this point. But just because, say, BMW makes a flagship 6 series coupe does't mean it shouldn't make an 8 series if it want to broaden out the market or wants to add new features in a car that it can't do at the 6 series price points. That is what Apple is doing here. The tech it wants to load into the next flagship is more expensive than it's usual upgrades. So it must charge more. It can either do that with the 7s and potentially alienate customers with pricing or it can push out an all-new phone, never been priced before so no one can complain.

You mean how previous S versions looked like their previous counter part? Yep, those never sell. /s
Was there a radically re-designed,more premium and better model also launched with previous S series?

I think you're confusing the 7 with the 6s which did perform worse than its predecessor but by no means poorly.

I think the 7s or whatever it ends up being called will do just fine. So far for me, an edge to edge screen doesn't feel enough to give up the convenience of Touch ID, plus I don't like the idea of being asked to pay £££ extra for features that would be added as standard in any other cycle year.

I get face recognition may replace Touch ID and on paper that sounds cool, but next time you're in a shop using Apple Pay ask yourself how you'd hold the phone to the reader and keep it at an angle it can scan ur face.... even more so in places like drive-thrus.
 



With the upcoming OLED "iPhone 8" bringing major design and functionality changes, its two LCD companion devices, the 4.7-inch iPhone 7s and the 5.5-inch iPhone 7s Plus haven't received much attention, despite the fact that these two iPhones are also going to see some design tweaks.

YouTuber Danny Winget today shared a new video that focuses on the iPhone 7s Plus, comparing an iPhone 7s Plus dummy model to an iPhone 8 dummy model and an existing iPhone 7 Plus.


The iPhone 7s Plus features the same silver glass backing that we've seen used in iPhone 8 dummy models, and these colors are in line with information sourced from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who says Apple is planning to release all three devices in just three colors - silver, gold, and black. The device also includes a shiny metal frame connecting the two glass halves.

It's believed that all of the iPhones coming in 2017 use a glass casing to enable an inductive charging feature that will let them charge wirelessly, much like many current Android phones.

Aside from the glass body, the iPhone 7s Plus looks quite similar to the current iPhone 7 Plus, with the same horizontal dual-lens rear camera, ports, buttons, thick front bezels, and Touch ID Home button. Antenna lines are less noticeable, however.

While the iPhone 8 does not have a Home button and is rumored to have a facial recognition authentication instead of Touch ID, the iPhone 7s Plus and the iPhone 7s will retain standard Home buttons and Touch ID functionality.

Size wise, the iPhone 7s Plus is the same size as the iPhone 7 Plus, but it's much larger than the iPhone 8. The iPhone 8 has a display that's around the size of the iPhone 7 Plus display, but because it does away with all of the thick bezels, its body is closer in size to the iPhone 7.

All of the dummy models that are circulating are based on factory specifications, CAD drawings, and other leaks, and appear to accurately reflect what we're expecting to see when the three devices launch this fall. Dummy models are never a sure thing, but case makers often use them to design and create cases ahead of a new iPhone's launch, so a good amount of money goes into making sure the design is accurate.

Based on the rumors, part leaks, and design leaks we've seen, these dummy models offer a solid look at what to expect from Apple's 2017 iPhone lineup.
