Oh, you'd live without it. But nobody's going to do that. We're all going to run out like chickens to get it... anyway!

What will Tim Cook’s ‘can’t live without’ new feature for iPhone 7 be?

Couldn't quite recall at the moment if 3GS had something specially new vs. just upgrades/improvements to existing things.Given the hype of the 6S was that everything changes....I'm going with more makerting BS. The only reason I got the 6S plus was 2GB of ram, got annoyed with crashes due to ram. All the other features are gimmicks , had the 5SE been out I would have got that , and saved myself £££

I like how you said "pretty much all "
Nice try, but not funny.

Got it, thanks for your insight!.
I remember getting it and it being noticeably faster, unlike say the 5 and 5s that I could not tell a differnce in day to day tasks. Though most of the S models were really spec bumps and improvements.
Well, the 5s had TouchID that wasn't there on the 5 (or any other phone before). There are certainly spec bumps usually (sometimes bigger ones than other times), but there's usually a new hardware/OS level feature/function as well.
Good point, the 5S with Touch ID I found really useful. Guess for me Siri in the 4S was a non event. And the 6S plus had 2GB ram which was a huge upgrade for me, and no more crashes.
Whatever features Apple puts in next iPhone won't matter if they are still offering old IPS panels.
The next iPhone needs
1. SAMOLED display with following resolutions.
7 Plus: 1242 × 2208 with no bullcarp upscaling/downscaling wizardry. Fit those damn pixels in 5.5" or 5.7" display.
7 : 1080 x 1920
Both the models must have USB 3 transfer speed over lightning port.

Better transfer speeds would be welcome. Doubt there will be any type of oled on iPhone 7, but maybe standardize on 1080 across the board.
Want in the 7 or won't buy...
1. Faster CPU/GPU a given
2. Better Siri
3. Faster focus (Like the S7 samsung)
4. IOS in the 7, not just the 7+
5. Better lens as in f/1.7 like Samsungs
6. 32 GB entry level not 16 GB
Not having these in the 7, than its not worth upgrading to over the 6s. If Apple includes these in the 7+, over looking the 7, than Apple is dreaming that we will upgrade to a larger iPhone that many do not want.

He's trying to stop the stock from bleeding. It'll be the same iPhone that was introduced in 2007. Just faster.
Right, plus 6s has 3D Touch (whether someone might find it useful or not so far).

We are going to go back to the first gen iPhone that will simply be faster, but without a larger and/or better screen, 3G or LTE, or updated cameras, or Lightning connector, or many other new things that have been introduced since the first gen iPhone?
Larger screen - they were late to the party. LTE is standard. Faster CPU is a given. Lightning Connector is a joke and should be USB 3 by now. Cell phone cameras are cell phone cameras and always will be.
...Tim Cook's got nothing.
If it's anything like Maps or Siri, it'll be useless at launch and take years for it to worth a damn. Without investment in machine learning, I highly doubt has anything like a "how could I live without" feature.
So iPhone7 will bring one feature we can't live without. So currently with iPhone6, there are 6 features (one live-without feature per major version I assume) we can't live without? (up volume, down volume, mute, earphone, microphone, and display)???

Press a specific order of buttons on your iPhone 7 Plus, and it transforms into the Apple Car. You get about 2 miles on that 2700mh battery.
A reliable SIRI that can provide answers. Google Voice still beats it by a mile.
While the long-overdue increase to 2GB RAM was much needed, that silent change is only relevant to the small minority of tech conscious folks. Apple doesn't even discuss this in their ridiculously grandiose keynote (and never has). If they thought it was a game-changer worth emphasizing, they would have.
so right now the upgrades are
better camera
better battery
waterproof
same design
3GB of ram
missing anything?

Apple Pay. They're going to use a combination of nfc and the fingerprint sensor to enable you to use your phone to make retail payments. You heard it here first.
Yeah, it depends on the users usage . For me it was a major upgrade, my 6plus would constantly crash due to memory issues.
6 plus was the worst iPhone I ever had and I've had all but the 5c at this point. It's possible I love my 6s plus so much because of this fact. As kid browsing and multitasking I do between 3-4 apps, the phone was borderline unusable. It seemed to get worse with age.
