If I were said lady. I would walk fast away as soon as I saw you actually had your phone in a holster on you belt.

Problem with the iPhone 7 is you can't flaunt it.

I've also used iPhones since the 3G days and I would love to get a Samsung device but in the US it's such crap compared to the international version. Carrier bloatware is ridiculous and the processor isn't as good. I could get the international version but then I would have to give up a warranty (because that makes sense when you're spending $600+ on a device) and then there's no wifi calling, VoLTE or Samsung pay.
I'm hoping Samsung will eventually take the approach of Apple and nexus devices, offering an unlocked version that can work on all US carriers that gets the exynos processor and no carrier bloat ware.
EDIT: it appears Samsung is now offering a S7 in the US that is unlocked and supports all carriers. Definitely more enticing and I may look into purchasing one of these.

My was was impressed by my phone, only because shes a bigger geek than me and wanted to know which SNES Emulator I was running to play Super Mario World the rest was love.
The problem with the iPhone 7 is that it hasn't been released yet!
So it is all speculations!

This is my wife's current phone.
It was my phone circa 2002 I guess. I offer to get her a new one but she prefers having a phone she doesn't have to worry about.
doubtful the carrier still supports it is it even 3G ?
I have GSM back ups and my Sat Phone just in case a national emergency hits but I am shocked a 2002 model is even supported.
Lol predates 3G! She only uses it as a phone or texting. Mostly she uses her iPad for the Internet.
I want to skip as well but I don't know if I will be able to lol. I just REALLY want an OLED panel. My brother's Galaxy S6 Edge's screen leaves me in awe, returning to my iPhone 6 afterward, the screen looks terrible. It's just the contrast that I think is really nuts. I'm not a fan of exploding colors by any means but it's the truly black blacks that simply makes everything look magical.
Did you just compare your iPad Pro 9.7 to the Note 5? Why? I would say the iPP 9.7 crushes any tablet on the market. Android device manufacturers are really weak in the tablet area in my opinion. They focus on phones. The play store has a terrible selection of apps for tablets from what I've heard.
The iPhone 6S/6S Plus and the Note 5 both crush every phone together. It simply is a matter of OS preference. The display quality of the Note 5 is arguably better as well as the antenna (but it usually won't affect day to day use unless you're in an extremely fringe service area) but both are fantastic devices. I personally would take a 6S Plus over a Note 5 any day, but that's because I absolutely despise android. Ive tried it time and time again and I just hate it.
This thread is really funny. No one has ever been impressed with my new phone or iPad, except maybe me. Seriously, it's pretty sad if one feels the need to flaunt a phone. Believe me, I'm always up for the latest gadget but never to show off to anyone else.
Flaunt it ?
Do mature people actually say that now days for a darn phone ?

Exactly, that is the point.
But some "things" are harder and more expensive to replace.
Sorry I miss spoke about the 9.7 Pro Tablet. The truth is the 9.7 iPad Pro does crush everything out there and an expensive tablet is a worth while investment that Apple will support for many years and has great service and will provide many updates while Android tablets are lucky to ever get 1 update if any. While unlike a phone people tend to keep Tablets for many years. And Apple is the best for that. In terms of phones Well the Note 5 and its OLED display is simply the best you can buy. 5.7 inches 1440p I do go for the 7 Edge curved side. and smaller 5.5 OLED delivers the best Display period.
Who buys a phone to flaunt it? Wealthier people that I know...don't flaunt phones. They flaunt things like Ferraris, boats, and multi million dollar houses. And the REALLY wealthy people...they have the older phones and older cars and no one has a clue they are wealthy.
I buy a phone for me...and not to impress others...

Lighting adapter for earbuds is fine until you want to listen to music and charge your phone.
Yeah I really hope they have an adapter that is nice and simple, just one little "brick" that has a 3.5mm headphone jack AND another lightning port, so you can charge and listen simultaneously...
Well, then we'll start checking the backs of phones.
Cause you KNOW... people can still look at the back of that phone. It's gotten to that.
The only way the iPhone 7 wouldn't sell is if it was cheap. Remember the iPhone 5c? Apple most certainly swept that one under the rug.
But! None the less! This iPhone 7 will remain a status symbol! NONE! THE! LESS!
Because people have to have that. As long as it's expensive I don't care but I have to have something that I can find, that I can use to project my superiority over all the lessors
Now everybody line up!

Like I said in a previous post, the iPhone is no longer a status symbol IMO. The damn thing can be bought at Wal-Mart for crying out loud. Even the hole in the wall cricket stores sell the iPhone. This isn't 2007 anymore, where the elusive iPhone was only able to be bought via AT&T or Apple...and all other non AT&T people had to go without. Flaunting an iPhone, especially in 2016, is just so...ugh
