What do you think the iPhone 7's main selling point will be?

New design, thinner, no headphone jack, waterproof, wireless charging (so you can charge and listen to music at the same time), 3D Touch 2.0(?), better display, hopefully open NFC to anything! etc.

1. More colors: Black, Almost Black, Close to Black, and Nearly There White
2. Taller and bigger - as usual.

Samsung owners had a real laughing festival over that one. Yet not long afterwards they made a Phone bigger than the iPhone. Funny how the jokes disappeared at that point. Suddenly they turned into "bigger is better."

to be honest, no idea. I just think Apple will expand on 3D Touch somehow :p

I think they will add more features to 3D Touch, but as part of iOS 10. I wouldn't expect a "better" 3D Touch like the better Touch-ID we got in the iPhone 6s (in my opinion, 3D Touch's hardware is fine, but they can work further on the software).
 
I think having a waterproof phone is a big deal, but more than anything else, I would want a phone that didn't shatter if you dropped it. Build a phone that doesn't need a case so that you can enjoy its brilliant design.

I think Apple's ran out of gimmicks... Unless this new iP7 can make me breakfast no point of upgrading. Marginal benefit

It does not have jnductive charging that I know, it does have spilt resistance I believe. And bezel is certainly smaller than iPhone 6S, especially top and bottom.

I agree Nexus 6P might not have all the things that poster want and it is not great suggestion. You are right.

May have more luck selling Samsung phones on the Samsung forum. Ran a question thread a while back asking how many people switched to Samsung phone because of Samsung boosters on here. Results were maybe 2 out of 1000. But good luck.

I've had fast charging ever since I started using iPad 2.1 amp power adapter. Am getting one percent per minute recharge rate.

That it's 0.01mm thinner (thanks to the removal of a quintessential port) and 0.01g lighter (thanks to a hit on battery life)
 
I feel I'm the only one who wouldn't benefit from a waterproof iPhone? I get the point of it but mine is never in that situation where if I did drop it, the water would kill it off. Even if it did I'd just my insurance for it.

What does Nexus 6P has to do with Samsung and if you run same question on Android forum, you will get more than 2 out of 100. I will not switch to Samsung, but I have Motorola, Nexus and Huawei phone.

I actually asked switching in both directions. Sometimes there are more non Apple users on this forum than iPhone people.

iPhone 3G: 3G connectivity
iPhone 4: new design architecture/Retina display
iPhone 5: LTE
iPhone 6: bigger screens
iPhone 7: ?

So far, I would say the iPhone 4 was the iPhone with the most "surprise features" (not counting the leak). For the others, we knew what was coming.

The iPhone 7 rumors are all over the place, so it's kind of nice not to know exactly what to expect!

EDIT: It better be a good one, it's the 10th iPhone.

Speed for sure. I assumed the 6S will get slow after iOS 10

You are correct and it gets very annoying reading the Apple bashing that goes on. They should just go to Android Central if they love Android and think it is so superior to the iPhone.

You assume wrong. Apple will first optimize iOS 10 to the iPhone 7 and then work backwards to optimize it for the older devices. This has been the pattern since iOS 7. It is time this BS about slowing devices stopped.

I guess you haven't heard...

there's a class action bc they made iPhones slow

Apple always makes older iPhones slow so u will buy the new one.

That way they can make more money boost their stock and Tim can look good when the board grills him year end
