Did they solve the problem of oxidation issues on iPhone 6S series? That's really a serious problem so far.

New Mockup Shows What the Rumored 'Space Black' iPhone 7 Plus Might Look Like

I agree.
It's just a gimmick. Anyone who understands photography, knows it's marketing hype.
This idea that Apple must radically change the design of the phones to make people happy is silly. Shouldn't you care more about the internal components and software capabilities? I get the concern about the headphone jack, but every other complaint is superficial.
And if you're looking for design variety from Samsung, prepare to be disappointed.
Perhaps I was a bit sloppy with my language. The current design is tired in the sense that it's poorly executed. We still have unsightly antenna bands, a protruding camera, excessively wide bevels, slippery ergonomics, etc. Apple doesn't need to reinvent the iPhone, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't improve upon it. The design has too many functional compromises, and now with the lack of a headphone jack, it's getting worse before it gets better.
I think that's a perfectly reasonable complaint.
If Apple really does include a fake speaker grill I'll be surprised. It certainly goes against Ives' minimalist design principles. I'll also be sad/pissed about the absence of a 3.5mm jack. Loathing the idea of a dongle needed to run a bunch of my non-stock-ear-bud audio connections.
It actually seems like it would be quite practical to me, but mind you, I'm not that educated in photography. I do however see lots of photographers switch out lenses on their cameras. Wouldn't this dual camera setup be similar to that? Have one lens for close-ups and one lens for distance? A sort of optical zoom without any moving parts?
100% agree. I would go out of my way not to have that hideous thing on my phone, regardless of photo taking ability. The phone for me is about taking great photos in the moment for fun, which the 6S is more than adequate for. Would I be opposed to a better camera , no, but if it comes with needing a dual lens and looking like that, no thanks. If I want to get serious I will bring out a DSLR / real camera.
The Space Gray Apple Watch Sport, which is just as dark as the leaked photos, doesn't have this problem so Apple has it figured out.
Indeed!
Fact is Apple has massive resources, highly skilled, experienced and capable. Yet Apple's narcissistic attitude prevents them from listening to customers, being creative, and soaring above the competition.
There's a vast number of things Apple could do to further distinguish themselves as the premier smartphone maker.
But no... fat and happy where they are, content to dictate to customers, Apple's leaving an awful lot of additional money on the table.
Well, smart connector dots don't have much utility on an ipad mini. However, they do have utility for larger ipads. This is the whole form over function everyone is raving about.
If the smart dots have some useful function, then who cares if three dots breaks the utility. It is for using, not looking at!
If all we cared about is looks, we might as well remove the lightening dock. Hell, let's remove the buttons as well. Let's just make it a solid block so we can look at polished metal.
[doublepost=1471325954][/doublepost]Easy to make mock up when you don't change the damn form factor for 3 years!
I'm going to speak with my wallet. So many others talk about jumping to android, I hope they do and hit apple where it hurts!
I am looking forward to switching if Apple doesn't pull some amazing and give me a reason to stay. Not sure why I would get an outdated phone just out of loyalty (which Tim boasts about and takes for granted!)
I feel like if that mock up is real then Apple could have colour matched the black bands a bit better....
At this point, switching to a SIM-only contract and getting a discounted 6S Plus seems the best course of action provided I want to remain with Apple. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So, did I read correctly? A speaker grill with no speaker? If true, that's beyond stupid.
