New iPhone 7 Video Offers Side-by-Side Comparison With iPhone 6s

The antenna lines are just a non-issue to me. I want form and function and am looking to see what iphone 7 and IOS 10 bring to the table above and beyond iphone 6s and IOS 10. We'll see how apple does based on the quarterly earnings call in Jan 2017.
that protuding camera looks worse. It almost looks like a wart sorta. Wish they stayed with the old camera ring.
I'm sure it's the camera angle. like when you take a selfie and the person toward the camera looks a lot more bulbous than the other person
I didn't buy any of those things for looks. I bought my living room furniture because it was comfortable. I bought my clothes because they were comfortable, and had all the right pocket and the thermal insulation level I needed for it's intended use. I bought my Chevy Volt because it is all electric during my commute, but on longer trips it's a hybrid and can go as far as I need. When I'm attracted to a woman (other than just for sex), it's because she is witty and fun. Function first, form is secondary.
I call BS. Looks didn't play a factor in your choices at all? Not a single aesthetic factor helped your decision? Color, fit, material, nothing? Come on, give me a break. I'm going to assume you were just being sarcastic, because what you say is completely unrealistic. In the real world aesthetics plays a HUGE part of a consumers purchase decision. Apple understood this better than anyone else, although it's pretty obvious from looking around at any store or product.
What people don't seem to realize, is that in China, thousands of "shops" can spit these things out (after all, this is where the 'actual' thing is made) just by pushing a couple of buttons. There are completely fraudulent iPhone 6s available on every street corner. The people / companies who make these can go ahead and produce any variation that they can bring up on their computer screen.
THAT is what we are seeing all the time with these (quote / unquote) "LEAKS". These guys are just making their own 'prototype' models, the same way Apple themselves would make prototype models. These guys have that kind of equipment. (Duh... it's frickin' China)

That is an interesting point. Almost every Apple product I've ever seen has looked better in real life than in pictures. Including the 6 and 6s although I'm still not a fan of those. I think the same will be true of this upcoming phone.
Confused. Were you trying to counter dwsolberg's post? You're only talking about things specific to you. The other post was about people in general. Neither post recognizes the fact that form v function is a fluid argument not static. It's dependent upon the subject matter, desired specs, and a host of other things. It's not binary. Sometimes one is preferred over the other and sometimes they carry equal weight.
If there were, they were at the bottom of the list. But if it came to giving up any of the function for the form, I would choose the function every time. ALWAYS function over form. Look at the iOS redesign. I think the new look they came out with a couple years ago looks like crap, but I downloaded it because it had new functions that I wanted.
Dont think i ever used the speaker on my iPhone 6 now that i think of it, so meh ...
Gonna buy a iPhone 7 back cover on Aliexpress i guess. Cheapest iPhone upgrade ever
certainly not gonna buy another 850€ device with this redic and dated bezel
Camera bump looks ugly too without the ring. I guess it costs them "too much money" and Apple obviously isnt in the business to spent their stockpiled amount of money on anything

"Igor...your know I'm a brilliant surgeon...I could assist you with that hump."
"...What Hump?"
For anyone who doesn't recognize that....watch Young Frankenstein and observe Mel Brooks at his arguable best.
What in God's name are you talking about? I do this all the time with no issue. The design is excellent!!! That protrusion is so much better than the ring. Also, the antenna lines are great. They actually match the contours versus going straight across the device. No other OEM had achieved this clean look with all metal.Design fail. The on/off button is still directly opposite the volume controls which is stupid. You switch off the display when you turn up the volume or try to take a photo like now on the 6S/+

How would you based on a rear case in a Chinese video? I'm assuming you'll need to see what it does before you decide
9 out of 10 for iPhone, first answer in google...

The next innovation should be to greatly reduce the top/bottom bezels and put a 4.7 screen into a phone about 5.2 inches.
Big screen meets small form. Talk about reachability!
That's the next frontier.
Home button functions as part of screen and much smaller area for functional items that now sit in the top bezel.

If this isn't the biggest bag-over-the-head, punch-in-the-face I ever got, GOD DAMN IT!
Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Tim Cook, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here...with a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-assed, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed, sack of monkey **** he is! Hallelujah! Holy ****! Where's the Tylenol?

I've never had this issue before. Do you press the volume up button with your index finger? I always use my thumb or my middle finger depending on which hand I'm using and I really can't see this possibly happening. The only way I could see myself accidentally turning the screen off is if I'm holding the phone one-handed with my right hand in landscape mode and I use my middle finger, but if I turn my hand around and use my thumb then it's a non-issue.

I assume then that you really like the Meizu Pro 6 as Apple has copied the look of that phone.
[doublepost=1468776662][/doublepost]
Apple copied the Miezu Pro 6.
The camera and processor will receive updates, and that's great, but have there been any other leaks? Like maybe an upgraded display resolution or something?
I'm one of the biggest Apple fans there is (see previous posts on this forum) but I was a little jealous of a friends' Galaxy S7 Edge display yesterday. Not for the curved glass, just how bright and crisp it looked.

I really hope you have that whole thing memorized and didn't have to copy and paste it, because that would be epic.
Get used to the camera bulge everyone and especially no headphone jack. It'll be the norm within the next couple of years. It's either that or no phone.
