They definitely have the devoted/crazed fan base going for them, while Apple's arguably seems to be fading. Would love to have a Tesla.

If this is real, I guess the Note 7 here i come....
It'd be interesting to learn whether Apple does indeed plan to introduce a 3 year refresh cycle.
So, 6 - 6S - 6SE confirmed? (Kinda)
They may or may not bring in the sales from everyone, but anyone with older iPhones would definitely use the spec bumps and even appreciate it greatly.
I personally would love this as I stare down my iPhone 6, it's almost two years old and it still looks good as new, and I don't notice any lag whatsoever from the first day I opened it to today.
Also, my wallet is really happy about it.. lol

Most people I speak to say 3D Touch really isn't that useful, bigger screen sizes is not innovation and took no effort on Apple's part. I agree about Apple Pay though. But one, truly useful, feature in 3 years?
Hello bezels!
My, this iPhone rivals the SE in sheer laziness/lameness.
Looks like it's you and I for another year, my trusty 6.

There goes my hope against hope to have a thin bezel this year!
I'm hoping for some more iPad Pro 12.9 leaks, since this is pretty underwhelming so far. I'm staying optimistic for a small refresh this September.

Apple aren't going anywhere anytime soon, but the dream is fading. The shine is wearing off. Something needs to happen and soon.
The annoyance of not being able to use my favorite headphones might be what finally pushes me away from Apple.
The Apple shine is wearing off. People just don't care like they used to. It's stale and boring. The company is predictable.
I guess there won't be much of a design surprise on launch day. At least give me Space black.

Hard to tell from this picture.
But it is not something really exciting. The breakthrough will be the removal of home button, allowing for less bezel and smaller phone.
Because Apple has NOT established its reputation on frequent industrial design novelties, apparently.
I thought Android fans are the ones who stay up at night caring what's inside the device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
what nonsense. Touch ID can't be seen in a case design, but its super useful. duo tone flash can't be seen in a case design, now everyone copies it. 3D touch is innovative and i use it daily, also can't be seen. etc etc...
haters need to get over their child-like obsession with having a phone case that looks different so you can show off to your classmates. its as absurd as expecting your DVD player to look different every year. nuts!
I guess the surprise could be more storage (32GB for the base model) and waterproof.
Maybe something cool concerning the camera, last year we had live picture this year maybe something even better thanks to the new camera.
But I wouldn't expect any surprise for concern the design, and I guess we'll see the final colors before the end of the month.
Don't think Apple can ever catch up with the minor upgrade mentality, the note 7 and nexus looks nicer everyday now.
hey but apple's hiring is more diverse!! doesn't that mean anything compared to the new iPhone 7???????????
for me ill be probably moving to the 6s Plus from my 6 plus

Well, the “Apple is mostly just a fashion company” people have weighed in now. It’s a shame this new iPhone won’t compliment your Fall 2016 wardrobe adequately. Gone are the days when technology was more than just physical appearance.
Improved water resistance. This one i keep my eye out for all the time and I have not been able to find anywhere that it has been a rumor or mentioned except for on macrumors. Each time they mention it, they post a link to an article from last year that is macrumors, mentioning it again. And it is only mentioned. "The iPhone 7 is believed to have an increased water resistance." "Removing the headphone jack may allow apple to increase the water resistance." Doing searches doesn't give anything. Does anyone have any information on water resistance that does just link back to a macrumors created rumor?
Agreed. There has always been Apple fans and Apple haters, but it seems that the Apple haters are outgrowing the Apple fans online these days. Lots of bashing Apple. Apple needs to "wow" everyone again. They don't have the spacious lead like they used to, competition has caught up.
