This has to be the first time I've seen the hype right before the conference be this low for an iPhone, and a non S release at that. I've ONLY heard negativ reaction (no head phone jack, same design, still huge bezels....)

Imagine what would happen if Apple took the iPhone 6, removed features people cared about, added features no one cared about, and colluded with the carriers to make it more expensive.

It's like that.

I agree the buzz is low im still kinda excited for the keynote though. There has been numerous times ive nearly caved in the past couple weeks and preordered the note7 due to its beauty. But best to just wait and see the keynote for myself and not listen to all the rumours as sure the design sucks i am really dissapointed with that. But who knows what will be added they have to do something interesting. I hope ha
 
It happened for the iPhone 6!

Given this is the iPhone 6-s-s not really 7 lol

Memory is not serving you well here. iPhone 6 had huge buzz with them introducing the larger screens.
 
Could be worse. We could be Android users.
I admit it appears that the upgrades aren't what I was hoping for...but let's compare

S7 Edge vs Note 7

Camera - same

waterproof rating- same

Screen resolution- same

Ram- same

Design- same

Processor- same


iPhone 6s Plus - iPhone 7 Plus

Camera- improved

Waterproof- improved

Screen- same

Ram- improved

Design- same (lame 3.5 jack removed)

Processor- improved

Right. This is called "desperately trying to catch up with the competition while removing vital hardware. Standing ovation!

I have the Note 7 and think it's gorgeous and I love the S-Pen. But guess what, I'm excited to read that Siri is going to get some integration with third party apps. iOS 10 is looking promising. I know a lot of people don't use Siri but I do. I love that I can use her to wake my iPhone up and answer a few questions while locked. I wonder how she will fly on the new A10s.

I've been comparing the cameras and the iPhone camera compares well in bright light. It focuses well and sometimes better than my Note 7's camera does in dim light when a subject suddenly moves unexpectedly. So I'm interested in seeing what even the new rumored faster single lens cameras bring to the table for iPhone, never mind the dual lens setup which we can only guess at.

And my husband and I agreed the dated but trusty iPhone 6S Plus display looks good even when compared to that of the Note 7. The white on it is more pure white. My husband's Note 7's display has a noticeable aqua tint. Mine is a slightly pinkish hue, but closer to that of my 6S Plus's white balance.

No, I'm not at the level of excitement where I am planning to stay up to 3:00 a.m. to pre-order. But I am full of my usual cheerful anticipation of an overall solid debut. I am hopeful that the people who skipped iPhone 6S and 6S Plus will find the iPhone 7's decent and offering refined upgrades.

I'm also eagerly anticipating the gaudy show that is Eddy Cue's usual event attire. ;)

I remember reading a post from you recently how you stated you made the move to Android recently and realized Apple was your preferred choice. I don't recall which Samsung phone you purchased. I will also be upgrading to the iPhone 7 as well. Looking forward to it.

Where's the huge buzz at?
 
I think once the keynote is over and all of the tech sites are a buzz, hype will grow. I feel kind of underwhelmed at the moment but the second I watch the keynote, I know I will immediately have a need for this phone. It's just the way it works, that's why apple is so successful. They get on the stage and they sell it, better then anyone else IMHO.
