Do they have it in burlap? Because I want to appear to care about the environment by sporting more disposable products.

When the comments are nothing
More than the camera bump and antenna lines, its border insane to discuss it over and over again. I will purchase the iPhone 7 on day one. And guess what, Apple can have my money and I am not traumatized by physical aspects. As long as the iPhone meets my expectations.

If your 'Outraged' by antenna bands, then I suggest therapy for you, because that comment is Ridiculous.

And no, your wrong, not all iPhones cost between $800.00-$1,000. It depends on what storage tier. My 6s was $650.00, which is far cheaper than some other competitor phones on the market. Even the 6s Plus is only $750.00 for a base model, still cheaper than what you quoted.

No. Next year is the tenth anniversary iPhone and will be completely overhauled. There already have been rumors discussing this.

And some appreciate the look of the iPhone6/6S and look forward to the iPhone 7. To say it's horrid is a bit extreme. Not everyone agree's with you.

I read here somewhere that it'll be made out of glass. Which is a neat idea until it slips out of your hand and shatters like a liquid-nitrogen-soaked T1000.

I know exactly what movie your referring to!

Their saying the back will be made
Of glass possibly. But we truly won't know until what Apple has in store quite yet. Everyone handles their phones differently though.

The ugly bands on the back have moved to the edges, which is good, and it comes in blue, which I like a lot! It's not revolution, but not worse than iPhoen 6.

My only worry is that the camera will make the phone unstable on a table.

Best looking phone was iPhone 4, the built quality was amazing, like a really expensive watch.

What is the actual benefit of the second camera?

VR support and better images.

You will be able to put the phone into a box similar to Samsung Gear. That's why they have removed the 3.5 mm jack, so you can easily dock it, and increased the screen resolution. Your phone will work like an Apple TV, for 3d movies etc.

That's why Apple bought Faceshift and LinX

I'd love to see some type of rich blue colored option come to the iPhone. That rumored image from earlier this summer and I think a mock up of it looked rather nice.

Sounds like a space black is definitely in the works according to 'Everything Apple Pro'. If we don't see blue, I definitely think we will see an added color, seemingly space black. Either way, space gray has always been My go to.
 
There is no way it will look this ugly. They are going to do something about those zit bumps for camera parts definitely. It will be totally machined better than this mock up which is just the cast obviously.
 
Ive speak ".. with.. the iphone 7.. we wanted to make the bulge.. express itself.. bulging the bulge so that it you .. feel it.. see it.. it bulges into your life .. THAT.. is what I .. i mean.. WE.. vision a bulge."

I think I tried to sum it up a few weeks back -


What Apple has managed well with these leaks in recent years is to control the 5 stages of grief with early leaks of all the ugly/boring "features" such as camera bumps, antenna bands, same old colour options etc. -

1. Denial: "That can't be the iPhone 7, you'll see when it comes out, obviously a render! Fools!"

2. Anger: "If that's the iPhone 7 I'm outta here, FFS what's Jony Ive doing?? All those billion$!"

3. Bargaining: "It'll be ok as long as they put a bigger battery in it, if they make it thicker and remove the bump..."

4. Depression: "It looks like this is it, may as well keep my iPhone 5 for another year, Apple are nothing without Jobs"

5. Acceptance: "Ah well, it's not that bad, the camera will be better and the new processor will be faster, it's ok!"
Great point. Definitely controlled leaks. Perfect timing too, I hit acceptance about a week ago to the point I'm somehow excited about this phone.
 
I think Apple pushes these leaks on us so much in order to avoid the shock of how ugly the phone is.

I used to find the dual camera design horrible, but seeing it so much, I've grown to... like it?!
Hahahha! Right!
... And yeah. I think it is becoming... More, tolerable?
 
This is terrible compared to older generations.
True.

With very little time left before release, Apple ramps up attention getting rumors. They have a lot at stake. Especially given the extreme popularity of Android and the Samsung Flagships.

Marketing Hype, it's a gimmick.
 
Every time I see new pictures of the iphone 7, it just makes my case to switch over to the SE even stronger.

The SE is a great phone, but still lacks some of the 6s flagship features. And it's not a very fair comparison being the iPhone 7 and SE are two entirely different phones.

One might appreciate the smaller form factor of the SE, which I own and I prefer the 4.7 iPhone, which is why I plan on upgrading back to the iPhone 7 when its released.

I can look past some of the physical features and appreciate other features the iPhone 7 may offer.

Everyone varies based on their needs and preferences with Phones.
 
I guessI am happy to sacrifice my headphone jack so that apple can put two cameras in the phone. I'll just have to suffer with cruddy bluetooth headphones while I take 3d photos and share them on Apples soon to be announced Instgram clone. iFlop.

Your correct. Apple has high machining and quality standards. Their phones would never ship looking like these cheap knock off's. Some of these knock off's are seriously a joke trying to pass as legitmate.
 
the dual camera version looks like the cartoon character bender. apple new slogan give us your money and bender over so we can give you your new iphone lol...

But if that dual camera proves to be truly amazing and delivers high quality photo's, it might appeal to a specific demographic. The dual camera does not have to have the sleekest appeal to have superb results. Let's allow the Key Note to decide this.

Yep

If it takes photos even better than the s7 it will be worth it.
 
So they replaced an ugly phone with an even uglier phone. Pass. Went to look at the Note7 at Bestbuy today.. wow, the screen is stunning encased w/ a beautiful body. Apple is sleeping on the job again!

But that's the thing, as great as that dual camera may be why can't Apple style it properly? Apple used to be all about slick design and now it's just "can't be arsed, throw it there" looking. Let alone the fact it won't be available on the smaller phone yet we're still losing the headphone jack (99% likely). Even that single lens version is done in an ugly way!

Huawei even manage to style it with more class than Apple now, why?

Have you seen this?

The supposed mockup set of the upcoming iPhone 7 Plus... in blue.

These days, you don't know what is real, really.
