Waiting for iPhone 7

It is. But I think people who follow the rumors will wait for it. Unless they like to update yearly regardless.
Not going to bother with the iPhone 7 not really liking the bigger phones. SE is going to be my next upgrade from my stuttering, dying iPhone 4s.
I think next year 2017 will be interesting as its the 10th anniversary of the iPhone and i suspect there will be significant changes in design to the iPhone.

Well I have my iPhone 6 since launch day and it still does the job! Not slow, takes great pictures, comfortable screen size.... It is the only iPhone I have kept for so long and I' m ready to keep it longer!
For now, nothing in all the "rumors" for the 7 could justify an upgrade, just the novelty factor.
Plus I have read that Apple could potentially reserve itself for the next generation and the 10 years of the iPhone ...
At this stage I'm not really tempted to upgrade even if I could afford it. Let's not speculate and see what will really be the iPhone 7... But I don't see a "specific" feature that could justify me to change and upgrade from my 6, I' happy with it. Perhaps a better and longer battery .. But it is currently not a deal breaker.

I agree with you. When I got my iPhone 6 it seemed only natural that I would upgrade to a 7 in a couple of years. But at the moment, I'm still every bit as pleased with my 6 as the day I bought it, so unless they pull out something really surprising and impressive with the 7, I'm seeing no reason why my 6 won't serve me well for at least another year.
I have an iPhone 6. It gets the job done, but it just feels like a bigger 5s sometimes. I skipped the 6s, but will definitely be getting the 7.
For me, I don't expect too much. I wanted the 6s, but decided to wait for the 7. Therefore, I the 7 is going to be fine for me no matter what.
That's been the rumor for years. No way is Apple going to go from having the largest bezels on any new phone to having no bezels at all.
I prefer being on the S cycle but made an exception for the iPhone 6. So waiting for the 7S/2017 is where I'm at today... about the only thing I feel could be better for me at the moment is having the new Touch ID but that alone isn't enough reason to upgrade.
The rumours and leaks for this year phone looks uprewlly underwhelming for me...
I have a 6 right now and I'd wait for 2017 if I hadn't cracked my half my phone screen... Now I'm here making a decision whether to upgrade or not.

I'm on a grandfathered unlimited everything plan and our phones are subsidized. It makes little sense to stick with an old phone when the 2 year agreement runs out because my monthly doesn't change. I'm just hoping the 7 is more interesting than the rumors would have us believe. 
I'm waiting for the iPhone 7+ I upgrade every year due to the Jump program. my phones don't usually last more then one year due to the fact my three small kids abused the poor phone. but I hope they start at least at 32GB and have a 256 GB version. My husband doesn't need 64 GB. He only uses about 24 GB on his phone. Three with small kids on the road and all those movies,pictures,games I really need as much space as they could offer.
But I'm not as excited for this release. I have low expectations. I'm more excited for ios 10. Then the iPhone 7. Can't wait for the 2017 iPhone.

Agreed for me. Right now, an extra GB of RAM and dual cameras with less antennas doesn't scream spend $400 extra (from selling the 6S Plus) for it. I am hoping I am wrong, but 2017 rumors already goes to show that 2016 has nothing noteworthy. Hell, even the SE buyers are safe.
First of all the 2017 is just rumors, like the 2016 one is. Then if there's a major redesign I'm not sure I want the first release. We all remember the antenna issue.
No, we have seen some leaks already with some stuff to give us an idea what 2016 will be. Plus, deals are being made for AMOLED tech, which is too late into process to change around for 2016. The 7 Plus is just going to be a dual camera 3GB of RAM A10 holding phone with little to offer above and beyond the 6S/6S+/SE. Well, the 7 is going to have some issues. Apple Care and the warranty can give me enough satisfaction if I go in with the first batch. I am holding onto my 6S Plus for at least another year if the 7 is exactly as described.
Kind of like the 6s had little to offer above the 6?
2017 was rumors, now we have confirmation from one supplier... major changes/leaks tend to happen with iPhone. Given the amount of coverage, I think its safe to say 2017 is the year iPhone will be getting that redesign the majority are anticipating. As big as Apple is, unless they suddenly divert resources and choose to shock and awe everyone by taking that "one model" 2017 iPhone and bringing it to 2016... probably better to switch to Android if you don't feel like waiting.
I disagree with you about first release of a new redesign. iPhone 6 was flawless. Bendgate was overrated.
The thing is that as nice as the 6 was, the 6+ was an issue for a lot of people because of the bending issues, constant safari tab refreshes, etc. For me, I decided to go after the 6S for the 2GB of RAM, 4K camera, better front facing camera, 3D Touch, and the A9 processor. But the 6S is what the 6/6+ should've been. I support Apple, but not to the point of buying a phone for the sake of upgrading year in year out. Hell, I thought the SE was going to be trash before it was announced and it turned out to be a viable option for 18-24 months, so people won't have to upgrade anytime soon. So yep, I would wait till 2017. But I really do hope I am wrong about the iPhone 7 being a very incremental update. I really do want Apple to remain technological savants because there is so much we can have on our iPhones that are musts: quick charge, better power saving options, USB Type C, Wireless Charging (although it's relatively limited), dual stereo speakers, water resistance.

Hard to do so. As I7guy and other users are around here are really into the iOS ecosystem, that it is hard for them to give up. He/she can tell you personally how iOS helps them because I am not in their shoes. In my experience, they're a common poster and passionate about Apple products, so they have faith about the future. I wish Apple would just offer three model phones with all the same features with no frills. I mean okay, fine, a landscape mode not being on the 4" SE is okay with me, but nothing that is going to hinder performance enough to put people in uncomfortable situations like using a 5.5" screen to get 3GB of RAM and dual cameras. Our phones are such important tools that we use them for everything. I don't want to get no OIS on 2/3s of the phones. OIS is a must.
A new rumor popped out that 2017 iPhone is going to have all glass case and it could have several new features, like wireless charging, an edge-to-edge screen, and better camera all wrapped up in a glass body.
