These features pique my concern:
1. "Fusion" cores+"2 Battery Saving Cores"
2. (Jet Black) Scratchgate/Scuffgate 2.0
3. Inconsistencies with the Aux to lightning adapter(probably not gate material)
4. Home Button(Clickgate?)
I'm not trying to offend anyone with this. It just happens every year and I'm speculating.
So what do you think will be this year's *gate? Anything raising an eyelid?
Got a tip for us?

Which "gate" is being cooked up this year's iPhone? [MERGED]

Well at least speaker gate can be fixed by software!
Agree with most of it.. I don't think performance will be an issue though! Not by a long shot.. But #1,2,3 almost seem inevitable.

Let's give this a 'post event discussion' moniker and call it a day, shall we?
No question about it. The only thing that might minimize scratchgate is that supply seems to be insanely limited right now.
Why would they? Everybody who buys a 7 knows what he is getting into. No (unwanted) surprises at all.
You've met other people, right? LoL. People buy all the time and then complain. It's human nature. Emotion always trumps logic in the moment.
Gonna have to agree with people saying "scratch-gate" and "home-gate"
Basically the home button is going to drive people crazy, especially with how much it is used. Early hands-on say it's terrible.
The Jet black is going to scratch like crazy, and you know it is going to be bad when Apple mentions it on their own website as a warning.

I can see:
s/w issues w/ the home button.
lighting cables bending/breaking at the port on the new earpods and h/p adapter.
an iPod nano scratch issue on Jet Black.
TC/Schiller/Ive being flambed if sales are more lackluster than the iP6s same period last year.

I'm waiting for the posts on Gizmodo, et al, of jerks heading into Apple Stores and deliberately trying to scratch the demo models.
Ridiculous-post-on-Macrumors-gate.
Seriously, this comes up every year, even though the antenna issue was the only somewhat bad one, and bend-gate was experienced by relatively very few people.
And with Samsung's flagship device now literally burning down houses and cars, kinda makes Apple's missteps seem trivial, doesn't it?

BS. I have an S7 Edge and have gone swimming with it many times, washed it under the faucet, etc. Sure the speaker on the S7 is muffled for a few hours after being submerged, but that's it.S7 edge damaged speaker
S7 not quite waterproof
iPhone 7's Water-gate
iPhone users make a hissyfit that their new iPhone 7 has a terrible speaker once it is submerged underwater. No time to wait for it to dry up. Water-resistant (it isn't waterproof) is a new concept to iPhone users. Barely catching up to Xperia Z users from 3.5 years ago.
Besides, don't some iPhone users find a way to instigate finding a new problem out of OCD boredom? I'm not joking like I was with Applegate earlier. Water-resistance and waterproof is two different meanings. The internal components may get affected over time.
Give it another month or so, and you will see iPhone 7 water-gate threads just like what you saw with the S7 edge users. This isn't some silly, "Milhous" pun. Water-resistance is an extra line of defense for accidents. Not something you plan on taking a bath with every day.
I hate to be the one but I can't resist after the "note 7 explodegate" (did i just make that up?).
After antennagate , bendgate and screengate (6s). Any predictions as to what the "gate" will be this year? Hard to see a new iphone with no issues anymore.
Ps. Please don't hate
