We should expect more of this kind of stuff. Ive is spending his time accepting knighthoods, awards, and snobbing with hollywood elite. For all intents and purposes he is no longer a functional part of Apple. The iPhone iterations have obviously been relegated to an intern and Apple has turned into nothing more than a cash hoarding machine.
The days of Apple rocking the world with uniqueness and innovation are over.

I'm not impressed with the leak either, but that doesn't mean I won't preorder it. You cannot determine the final soul and substance of an iPhone until the keynote and I'm excited as to the under the hood changes; which no-one really mows about.
**** you whiner!

**** you whiner!
What soul and substance? did you WATCH the 6 and 6s keynote??
I mean, really: the 6 was bigger with rounded edges, and it had a camera bump that was never addressed and intended to be hidden as much as possible from advertisements and the keynote. And the camera image processing was awful.
The 6s had a solution searching for a problem in 3D Touch...
Maybe the problem is now, that Cook and Co. never address the WHY behind the iPhones anymore, or the watch for that matter. I remember thinking that I HAD to have a iMac or power Mac to do good video editing. I remember I had a strong desire to have an iPhone 4.
The only strong urge now is to complain. D*** it Apple! Sell me on your products!!! You're wasting away into boringness.
I wonder why is there "Model A1524" written on it? That's iPhone 6 Plus model no. And the IMEI is 352074066254250, which is iPhone 6.

The 6s absolutely killed it. Even the s7 coming out 6 months later, doesn't trounce the 6s and boasts some case changes for waterproofing, marginal camera improvements, more cores and memory; which doesn't translate into a faster phone.(leaving out the screen because it gives me a headache)
I don't need cook and co and didn't need jobs and co to tell me WHY. I'll know why when I see the keynote. And I've seen Every keynote since the 5s.
I'm already sold, they just need to do the job I know they are about to do.
Times have changed, even if the phone is impressive, I no longer have a desire to spend any money on this. And that has never been the case before. The 6S is the first iPhone I just plan to hang onto as long as I can. No need to change it.
With time that was bound to happen. Many of us are already likely in the minority when we upgrade every year, but these phones have become powerful enough that they could last up to 3 years. Even when you look at Macbook and iMac designs, we don't expect crazy changes so often.
They NEED to be better, I use all Apple products which is the main reason I have an iPhone, but that Galaxy S7 is one really impressive phone.
I don't actually mind it being bigger that much if it'll have better photos. but the way it protrudes looks worse then the 6S.
The missing antenna lines and bigger camera make the whole phone look bigger. Put two similar objects next to each other and your brain automatically assumes they have about the same shape and size and any perceptible difference is only because of distance and perspective. So when the brain sees a bigger camera, it thinks maybe the camera isn't bigger or it's not the only thing which is bigger? Maybe the whole phone is bigger or maybe it just appears bigger, because it's much closer to my eyes? When your brain has made up its mind of what it saw, you can see objects with wrong size, wrong distance, wrong color, wrong everything. What you see is only the most plausible version your brain could come up with.
I'll be happy to sell you my original iPhone. It no longer functions, but it looks as great as it did in 2007!
Because SJ said it, it was gospel? There is a reason glass isn't being used...just drop an s7 to see.

I agree....
True but the iPhone has probably the ugliest bump. At the least the other manufacturers try and blend it into the design of the back with smooth curses and a larger flatter bump. This just looks plain ugly to me.
As for the issue of putting it a case anyway, yes that's probably true. I put my 6s in a case. However the reason I do it is because I find the 6s uncomfortable to hold. To me that is a design flaw. You don't see the same proportion of other smartphone users putting their device into a case.
Yup. Just like how everybody said the Motorola ship would keep on sailing forever. Why is it that you people always automatically jump to the fact that they make money means that 1. Market tastes won't change 2. Market forces won't change. 3. Competition makes a better product 4. The company shoots itself in the foot by endlessly releasing iterative updates that the public loses interest in, or any number of any other factors that can weigh in when a company rests on its laurels and let's the competition take the prize. Because, you know, that's never happened in the history of business, ever. But hey, 40bn in sales can't be wrong, right?
40b is 40b. Of course applying the business mistakes of blackberry and Motorola, combined with "what goes up must come down" along with some "I don't like Apples products and policies and I wish they would lose all sales to show them I mean business" means that Apple has lost its way?
Of course it's a perfect storm, isn't it?
Part is because of design, part is because no one produces cases for those phones maybe?
