Rumor Says Apple Will Introduce New 5-Inch 'iPhone 7s' With Dual Vertical Cameras

For me the requirement is to use a headphone. I'm not a stickler for the headphone jack per se.
You sir have pretty much elaborated the Apple's new line-up. A new phone with vertical cam.
They always had courage. A lot of it. They had courage when they removed the floppy disc (that must have been disaster on them times) when they removed the 30 pin connector from the iPhone and iPad (that was also disaster for many with 30 pin accessories) and the saga goes on with the iPhones ancient 3.5mm headphone thingy and other stuff from MacBook Pro.
And that's precisely why I like this company. They don't give a jack ass what people think or about the lame comments (like the one I have quoted). People in general have no idea what they want. They would stick to the same technology for a century if they are not presented with the change and then pushed to make the jump. In other word, people hate changes, they are afraid of changes. Like the one you have quoted who would be happy to continue with an iPhone SE with 3.5mm headphone jack, which is really almost a half decade old design. Bizarre world!!
You keep missing the point.Yes Windows was a cash cow.Yes they made a ton of money.But the point is they lost a shipload of profits thanks to him.Had he realised where this whole thing was heading maybe Microsoft would would have been the most valuable company in world,not Apple. Heck Ballmer actually admitted that during that time, Gates disagreed with him on smartphones . No doubt Gates a guy just like Jobs with a vision actually saw the misstep there
Maybe there was a chance they could have destroyed Android but they let it slip away and you wanna know where MS is right now? Less than 1% market share and not even in the same league as ipad
It's no big deal that he brought Windows where it currently is because the cash cow was invented and handed to MS by Gates
So fragmentation is not until you say is? Got it.
Can you tell me relevant differences between the S7 edge and S7 apart from screen size and a edge screen?I can tell you more differences between a anniversary iPhone and a low end iPhone
Nope the feature was dropped. You need a accessory to use the 3.5mm headphones . And if we are counting accessories , even the S6 can be made waterproof
All of that is part of the realm known as "shoulda, woulda, coulda". In that exact vein Jobs also lost apple a ton of money by not releasing a bigger phone and apple could have become the most valuable company under jobs' watch, not cooks' watch.
Actually it wasn't gates, original research goes to xerox. He took what gates copied and brought the company to where gates could not. (IMO)
That's enough of a difference to some people, not enough to others. What's the point?
Nope feature wasn't dropped. You are still able to use the same headphone.
The point radon is trying to make is that you have to hide the very largest part of Samsung smartphone line to beat the coherence of the whole Apple smartphone line
He invented the iPhone without which there would be no iPhone 6 as Cook wouldnt have invented that in the first place
What does xerox have to do with Gates pioneering Windows
I have the 7 Plus with me right now.I cant connect my Ear Pods.What do I do?

Your list mentioned past smartphones of Samsung including some low end phones.Theres only 2 2016 flagships.The S7 and the S7 edge.The point radon is trying to make is that you have to hide the very largest part of Samsung smartphone line to beat the coherence of the whole Apple smartphone line
Quite beside the point being made.
Some say Microsoft "stole" those concepts.
Probably ask apple? No?
In addition, Samsung sells more phones than the s7 in 2016. Active, j1 mini, j3, s6, note 5, s6 active, etc.

Perhaps it could be seen as that and most/typical Apple users are not. But the typical Apple defender on here is no better than a cult member and in saying that I do not mean that all Apple fans on here act like cult members.
You just did it again. Anyone can read and post here, but if you post offensively, you don't get to play the injured party when someone calls you on it.
I think you need to look up offensive in the dictionary. There are a lot of cult Apple fans on here and you know it. That does not equate to every fan on here being a member of the cult. I call it as I see it.
