sounds like apple should hire you as their last couple phones have really not done well..... oh wait.
Got a tip for us?

I actually agree with this quote. Emphasis mine. You also need training for a manual transmission above what you need for an automatic, but people still buy them. Just not in quantity. The difference is that I don't think DSLRs were ever a mass market thing. And that's okay. It's a hobbyist / professional thing. And with some of the advancements around Smartphone and P&S sensor design making their way back to their bigger siblings, we are now seeing Sony and other competitors do some really interesting stuff with mirrorless DSLRs.
Citation needed on this one. Radios were around long before the transistor radio, and weren't something most people just assembled. Honestly, this smells of hyperbole and not really anything of substance.
And P&S digital compacts helped kill off the super-simple film cameras, and the Polaroid. Those people never had a film SLR unless they took a class in school. So, I guess I'm just trying to say: +1.
3D Touch was the most innovative feature on a smartphone in all of 2015, the engineering behind the haptic feedback is actually quite impressive. I don't have any doubt whatsoever that the iPhone 7 will have the most innovative feature of 2016 either. The camera system will be unmatched, mark my words! They don't have 200 plus people working on it for nothing, it's gonna be badass! The protruding camera & antenna lines are a non issue for almost everybody, and the design of the chassis is fine for now. The big changes will come when the tech is ready. Overall the iPhone will always be the best. Apple has to much money to not have the best products overall in their class year after year. Every time a new iPhone is released it smashes all others in benchmarks and true innovative features that are actually useful in real world use.
And these kinds of photography are going to die with their enabling technology. There will be filters to emulate some of the effects. Instead of using a chemical black and white photo film there will be software to throw away the color information.
I don't even have a basement. Or a computer desk to put a desktop on top. The times they are changing.
The whole point of the truck analogy was that the jobs for which you need a truck are changing too.
And I don't agree with the premise that democratization is a synonym for proliferation.
I still remember my Sony Ericsson T630 with 352 x 288 pixel or 0.1 megapixel. It didn't matter that this camera was always with me, I never made a photo with it. The only reason phone cameras became more popular is because they became a whole lot better and are now suited for their tasks.
Only because you started with photography when good smartphone cameras weren't there yet. You are biased to what is familiar to you.
Exactly! Much like the 5 was to the 4s. The iPhone 7 will be the best iPhone to date just as all the others have been!
You were supposed to add, but I'll buy it anyway.
What does he have to do with it?

Because "thinner" is the single, MOST IMPORTANT "benefit" that Apple puts at the top of the list of what is needed in the next __________. It doesn't matter if pretty much none of us consumers want thinner, nor does it matter if the cost of it requires ejecting utility like more battery to external devices (to be purchased separately of course). All that matters is that everything must get thinner.
Eventually, any battery inside will be too much for this goal and iPhone (approx) 12 will ship without any battery at all. Then, the guts themselves will be too much for "thinner" so they will have to get ejected to an external device sold separately too. Etc.
By approx. iPhone 14, Apple will be able to ship an empty box sold at current iPhone pricing and we will then buy all of the parts that actually make an iPhone separately. At that point, "thinner" will have achieved "invisible", needing additional purchases to be able to actually see something that looks like an iPhone.
Jony, is that you?
That "ugly camera" is going to produce SLR quality imaging, extraordinary low light performance ect.... Remember Apple bought LinX and it's pretty obvious they're going to put this awesome mobile tech to good use in 2016 with iPhone 7!
well, it's either antennae lines or glass again and I don't think glass would work with this design because of the curvature.
Jony Ive even said in an interview that they looked at using the 4 design (my personal favorite) when designing the 6 but that it didn't translate well to larger designs.
In an ideal world, I'm sure even Apple would prefer not to have antennae lines and a protruding lense but considering the engineering constraints, I think it's the best design out there.
And the way those ugly WINGS stick out of Boeing's 777 Dreamliner ... you comment betrays an ignorance to the universal truth of all great design: Form follows function. If there is a "bulge" for the camera it is there to deliver amazing photos and videos. You act like you know better than Apple. You do not. There is a reason for every single design feature, that's why they are incredibly successful and you are a commenter on MacRumors.
eh..not horrible, if in fact these are real(hard to say these days) it looks a lot like the phones now. I will buy one if the 7 plus is narrower and not as tall as the 6s plus. I want the bigger screen but in the smaller body, even if it has to be a little thicker. I held a galaxy s7 edge today...although I am not an android fan, or the "edge" design of the phone, I have to give them credit for a beautiful giant screen that doesn't feel like a tablet in your hand. pretty amazing.

In your opinion, did the 6 have any remarkable innovation?
For the record I agree 3d touch is great. But apparently we already have a.phone by Asus that is able to produce 3x optical zoom and is, as far as I can tell, very similar to what we may get here. I've seen some.photos taken with them and they're impressive. What impressed me most is just how much 3x zoom means. I didn't expect much from it but... Wow!
I've always weighed my iPhone buying choices heavily on camera quality since it's the only camera I can be bothered to carry everywhere I go. I've played with the idea of a dslr but ultimately felt it wasn't something I'd end up lugging most places.

Keyboards are the big thing, at least in terms of what we have now. I'm intrigued about the software aspects of this though more than hardware. Will we get split screen multitasking finally?

I think the point that has us scratching our heads is, why insist on making the body thinner while at the same time increasing the camera bulge.
It's a question I certainly don't have the answer to. I'm sure there's a very good reason. It could be as simple as being able to use less material for the chassis and thereby saving a good deal of money on production. Or it could be an obsession to thinness. Or it could be both. Or it could be none of those.
I also seems to remember a point where apple mocked android bulges. This could just be my mind remembering things incorrectly though. I did about thirty seconds of searching but all I found was articles on the 6 and 6s bulges.
Right. We decided that months ago. Do they even read our memos?
