I'm pretty sure the note 7 was named such because the galaxy series is up to 7 (i.e. Samsung Galaxy 7). It had nothing to do with the iphone.
Got a tip for us?

I really doubt that. But you'll have your iPhone SE without setting the alarm in the morning
I'm only saying what I thought I read somewhere, that the Iris scanner doesn't work if wearing glasses. I've had my fair share of Samsung phones so I think I have the privilege to comment.
This must be fake. After two years they would be able to make the bezels smaller and minimizing the space at the upper and downside. This looks so 2014
To many this is silly, but to me, this is big. Why the F is the camera not flush? I'm still using my 5s because I like the flush camera. I can't understand why Ive's allowing a bezeled camera. It's un-apple. Design is such a big part of the Apple brand and I feel like Jobs would never have allowed this bezeled and raised camera on the back. Sure I could put my phone in a case and then it's a moot point, but why would I case such a beautiful device?
I'd get the SE but I need 128gb option.

New processor - one in the 6 is fast enough for many
256Gb option - an expensive optional upgrade
Faster touch - big deal
3D touch - don't need it
Improved water resistance - I've never got mine wet
These are not reasons to upgrade - they are nice options to have if you need to buy a new iPhone.
The specs of the note 7 and looks are at least modern, something you expect from a piece of high tech.
No line in front of stores? That's not going to happen. This isn't a Samsung product. Big decline in sales? Year over Year decline already happened thanks to how extraordinarily well the iPhone 6 did. This new phone will be going against the more realistic sales of the 6S. Also in its favor are all those iPhone 6 owners that have 2 year old phones and are ready to upgrade.
Devices will sell. There will be lines. To think otherwise lumps you in with the wall street dumbsh**s who scream Apple is doomed and keep the share price at rock bottom prices.
You think that just because there are no lines outside an Apple Store, it doesn't sell well? You do know the majority of people, oh, what is it, oh yeah, use the Internet to order it and get it delivered.
The phone has a camera bulge because Apple wants to claim the phone is X millimeters thin (not including the bulge). Early advertisement pics of the 6/6+ omitted this unsightly bulge. The episode reeks of deceptive advertising.
Instead of concentrating on features Apple is concentrating on thinness.
This is the only thing that bothers me about the new phone. People say it's a minimal upgrade but i think the faster processor, additional ram, more storage, better camera are all pluses. The only thing that bothers me are the obnoxious huge bezels. It seriously detracts from a good product that Apple puts out.
Your reaction seems like a diehard apple fan who has lost contact with reality. I think a lot of people with two year old Apple phones in need of a new phone will switch to alternatives. There are plenty better alternatives around and there are coming more each day. That's what worries me and that's why I'm so disappointed in Apple. I'm an avid apple user since 1989 but these days Apple is drifting away from me! Why? Same old, same old with embarrassing not even adjusting the price. That's called milking and that's the Apple of today.
Apple use to believe in design symmetry. As long as there is a physical home button the iPhone will have a gigantic chin and forehead.
I've had my share of Samsung phones too and they're not by cup of tea.
Your post I quoted, if you read it again, provides fuel to the iSheep comments. Frankly, it's poorly researched, presumptive, and insecure. You do have the privilege of commenting; it is, however, welcomed when comments offer something of substance over vacuous fandom.
I think Apple has been that way for a long time. Look at the entire Mac line.
can't wait to see all the Note 7s on swappa in the near future.
I once bit the bullet and went for the Note when I got tired of the iPhone and iOS. Within 6 months of using the Note 3, I went to a 5s. iOS is more for me. I'm sure Samsung, TouchWiz and all that has improved over the years (it has to right?).

Well I hope sales are terrible
Might give them the kick up their ass they need
If iPhone adds waterproof and the camera is fantastic then maybe it won't be a distaster
Space black model would be ideal. I'm hoping Apple has something planned for this phone that we don't know about

Vote by not buying the crap they be selling lol. To seriously hurt Apple in the pocket book keep your gear longer. If not for the 1GB in my 6+ I'd have few reasons to upgrade. My MBP is from 2011. 5 years old and I'm still trying to milk more time out of it before upgrading. I'm not asking for the same out of a phone, but I expect 3 years of use now.
I used to upgrade for the sake of it but won't unless it impresses. Camera is a big deal to me and I like the waterproof of my edge so those both have to be ticked off here
Reading the comments on MacRumors makes me really, really sad. Just a bunch of whining and complaining people, with nothing else to do than be negative about Apple and it's products. Surely we might expect better, but what's the use in complaining, complaining, complaining? You people make me sick. Go buy an Android and never, ever come back here. You'll do the world a favour.
People like you make me sick. People like you buy whatever your brand tells you to buy. Don't ever question that competitors are improving or have even surpassed Apple in certain areas. But no, us complainers are the problem. We are part of the group pushing and prodding Apple to improve the iPhone in areas where competitors are ahead. Like the display. Like the front facing camera. Like the battery life. Like the damn RAM that Apple continuously skimps on.
I'll get it, but only because I'm a part of the iPhone upgrade program and if they switch to 32/128/256GB then I can move down in price $100 by staying at 128GB. What I'm really looking forward to is the rumored complete redesign next year, which I predicted before any rumors pointed to a special 10th anniversary model. This year is definitely a stop-gap model by keeping a similar design, but I think a much-improved camera combined with waterproof casing and wireless Earpods could move enough units to keep them afloat until the 10th anniversary model. Especially if they can improve on the battery with the removed headphone jack and potentially flush home button. Oh, and as for that button, the way that they changed the behavior in iOS 10 for the home button makes me think that it's likely the home button design has been changed, and the tech is in place with the trackpad on the MacBook. It would also help with waterproofing and transitioning users to Touch ID integrated into the thin bezel display—possibly next year.
Wait, so you'd rather have horrible sales instead of a good phone that sells like crazy? You'd rather wait for Apple to supposedly "innovate" for NEXT year than make a good phone THIS year?
The current camera is fantastic. The S7 is only slightly better at stills but inferior in video. Especially in slo-mo where the 6S rules.
