I ordered the iPhone 7+ coming from an iPhone 6. I'm pretty excited for the upgrade. That being said, I hope whatever model everyone is waiting for next year is just a an 's' variation so everyone taking a dump on the 7 will have to eat their words. If it's some crazy upgrade I will probably order that too since I'm on the upgrade program, so I do hope something 'revolutionary' comes out. But if it doesn't I think it will be a fun day on the forums.
I guess I just don't understand all the hate for the phone. The 3.5mm jack missing I get. It won't effect me, but I understand the concerns. But people complaining about the design of the phone I don't understand. Cars, watches, appliances, other electronics, and other daily devices don't get drastically redesigned every other year. Why should we be so upset that the iPhone is holding onto a design that works and is improved? Had they come out with some other design and something happened (bendgate, antennagate) people would be in an uproar about it. You carry your phone every single day and depend on it to work and be efficient, what's wrong with a design that is refined?
To be honest, I wasn't hot on the 6 design when it came out. I've always felt the 5s was the best looking phone they designed, but the 6/7 is simple and it works. Like other iPhones, it looks good sitting on your desk not being used, like a nice piece of art or jewelry. And when you hold it, at least for me, it feels comfortable. The 7 continues that trend. My phone is for me, and no one else. What do I care if others don't know whether I have a 6/6s/7? I used to be more concerned about what the outside of my car looked like rather than the inside. Then I realized I sit in the car more than I look at it from the outside, so I want the inside to be the star of the show. That's how I feel about the iPhone 7. Classy, elegant, refined exterior, with upgraded internals that will compete with any other phone on the market.
