Definitely yes, this is the flagship product that 'threatens' the iPhone, as a MR user I'm interested in what Apple is going against, and what the competition is, and enjoy discussing it with my fellow MR colleagues 😉
Got a tip for us?

Apple gotta stop being cheap and start their baseline iPhones and iPads at 64gb of storage. Enough of this 16gb crap after so many years.

I'm really curious about something- are water resistant phones like this one merely designed for accidental submersions, or are they intended to be used in places like a bathtub or a pool? I mean, I see that both phones can withstand being in 5 feet of water for 30 minutes, but are there any long term implications for repeatedly submersing these devices?
Hey Samsung paid users, I hope you get paid well for posting those S7 sexy posts!

Not interested. Didn't read. But just popped by to say if you really must talk about releases of non-Apple phones, maybe create a "Page 3" or "Back page".

In the reveal video it says it can be used in the rain, shower and pool. So I assume it means maybe even underwater pictures, etc in a average pool

No way, 80 billion in profits isn't enough man, how dare you criticize Apple's profit margin, gotta stay at 40% and increase to 45% this year, I'd suggest offering 8GB for iPhone 7 since you know, Apple music and icloud takes care of everything. 😉

Never thought I would be saying this, but this S7 phones look damn good. The expandable storage alone would switch me. Too bad I love iOS and touchwiz is awful. Careful Apple!

Pffff. Who needs expandable storage and longer battery life?
You means slow, hot and with crappy battery life?
I kind of want this phone, but I'm too deep in the Apple ecosystem to enjoy it.
Well, do it. Serious, why even say that. What's your point.
Looks the same as a phone that was by all measure a total fiasco last year (except for the camera).

One of the major competitors whose phones actually look good aesthetically and functionally? Sure. We can compare and contrast these models with the 5SE and 7 later on this year.
You've used an unreleased phone long enough to make that judgement?

Ah, this is just a S6 - V2. Probably Apple doesn't have to worry about too much. If the S6 didn't sway away too many users, then the S7 probably won't do so either.
If of course, Apple drops the 3.5 mm Headphone jack, and upsets a lot of people, then who knows.
Personally I find the LG G5 far more innovative with its modular design. That is cool and should have been on the front page!
But just for the record: I would like expandable storage on an iPhone as well.

Same here, Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Macbook, and Apple TV but I do have a Huawai Android watch I use some days but I have hope the iPhone 7 will have a new look to

Why not tell us about your Galaxy S6 and what you didn't like about it. Unless you're just spreading fud as usual.

You know you don't HAVE to buy the base storage model?
How the hell do you know? Have you used it; no, so it's an absurd comment. It is kinda funny because I can dig up so comments from last year which were all about the S6 killing the 6... Well we know what happened then.

Far more exciting than Apple these days - They added stuff without needing to focus on bloody thinness.

That's an amazing product. The new 360 camera and being waterproof makes me wanna buy it. And I never thought I'd like to switch... Let's see what iPhone 7 can do. I hope it's better...
