Kinda difficult to leave when you got so much invested in apps and thousands of dollars in Apple hardware.Tim Cook really seems to have run out of ideas.We need some fresh new thinkers in the company not afraid to break boundaries

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

That would make sense if this rumour was implying the 4.7" model would be replaced with a 5" model. Then it would make perfect sense although don't forget Apple has deliberately designed the iPhone to be the size it is.
You mean the features like better screens. Pencil support and faster storage and USB 3 interfaces and more powerful graphics and CPUs didn't do anything to justify the price increase?
The iPad Pro was launched as a direct competitor to the Surface Pro and all its variants, the iPhone Plus was also launched to compete with all the big screen Android phones, they are both Apples answer to the market and its competitors and neither were built purely just to raise the price tag.
I hope they don't forget about the SE form factor. I don't want to have to stick to my SE forever. I've had a 5, 5S and SE and I could probably go another round with the same housing plus performance/battery improvements. It would be nice to see a totally new 4 inch design though. Maybe a 16:9, stretched looking iPhone 4S thing.
Steve ballmer was great for profits, at the expanse of innovation though. Apple is doing really well profit wise, and Tim seems as clueless about product as Steve ballmer, though they both brought in the $$$. Tim does not need to be a product guy, but there needs to be someone....thinner is not a company vision in my opinion
They haven't done anything yet. Hold your "Screw you Apple" until September when it means something.
Most likely because they have different teams working on their own thing at Apple without any overarching vision or goal. It's clear there is no strong leadership at the company these days simply by looking at the mess of products.
And when does your masterpiece hit the market? My money is waiting for you. No? Think I'll probably get an iPhone instead then.
The writing has been on the wall for a long time now. I guarantee this will happen. Bookmark and revisit this in September. They've done it with the MBP's and it will happen with the new iPhones. Bank on it.
He's not the anti-Christ, just incompetent. A visionless beancounter with no leadership ability to speak of. Just look at the products he released.
Why can't they just release the same model but in different sizes. I don't understand why that's so hard for Apple to do.
They really have no idea what their customers want. They've truly lost touch.

I really miss the times when it was just one iPhone.
Now we have 3 iPhone sizes and rumours of a 4th?! Not to mention a new colour every year.
Keep the iPhone line up simple, and focus on making it as good as it could possibly be!

Love how with every RUMOR a certain percentage here on MR loses their minds!

Wow did you pull these quotes out of my head? Pretty much what I think every time I log on.
Guess what... there was no vertical design available and it totally makes sense to post the news before doing a useless mockup.
They showed the status quo. What is you problem?
I doubt they will bring up a 5" next to 4.7". Maybe they will use more of the device for bigger screen.

Not gonna happen.
There are more than enough phones for people who like to live in the past.
I like their products and are buying them. So one happy customer here. And whatever innovation you think you are not seeing, seems to be continued from the jobs era.
Come september none of this srumors will be true. Apple is goingto release another iPhone 6 with minor spec bumps.. Aka the iPhone 7S.... Nothing new nothing excited, yet Apple will call it the best iPhone they ever made... LOL iPhone 8 Oled my butt.. LOL

Jet black is as black as Jet. Jet white? As in, not white at all?

Not really. Microsoft needed ballmer to move them forward into a giant and he did just that.
It's my opinion I like the iPhone and you're opinion you don't. Okay next.
Samsung does fragment their lineup and had 3 phones this year until the note 7 fiasco, releases multiple watches. So don't tell me they don't fragment. And when they (Apple)release something the features are supported on flagships going forward(which hasn't been the case in the past with other manufacturers)
Do what you think is best Tim.

My guess: just 2 models, one 5 inches and one 5.8 inches. 4 models? don't make sense at all.
Being that Apple hasn't released sales figures and IDC basically pulls them out of their ass, combined with the fact the Series 2 is back ordered through January, gives me the feeling it's doing just fine.

Actually the pattern of innovation(?) seems pretty clear: let's make the same thing with a different screen size. Apparently the infamous pipeline is full of all of the stuff from SJ's time made a little larger or a little smaller.
It's not your dissenting opinion that's the issue, it's your arrogance. Plus the fact you hang around Apple forums just to complain about how much you hate Apple. There's a term for people like that but the mods don't let us use it.

You can't have legit complaints about unreleased products.
My current phone is a 4.7" iPhone and haven't decided yet if I am going to get another. Chances are I will, but my head isn't there yet if that makes any sense, I think Apple sucks at the moment.
