The ones that don't need celluar might as well purchase an iPod touch, or an iPad mini.
Needing a cellular connection is NOT the same as needing to use the cellular connection to make a phone call. It's not even in the same ballpark.

158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm iPhone 7 plus
138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm iPhone 7
145.9 x 71.9 x 9.0 mm HTC 10
149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7 mm LG 5
142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm S7
Want to try another excuse? The phones tested are about same size as iPhone 7. The 7 plus is a phablet.
I think you might be right. I have a feeling we will see an unveiling around April May with availability June July.Exactly. Now that the placeholder 7 has arrived with all of the fanfare that a second "tock" or 3rd member of the iPhone 6 family deserves, it's time to begin to salivate over how good next year's redesigned iPhone 8 possibly could be. Maybe we won't have to wait a full year?
Who makes phone calls any more? The iPhone 7 only loses badly on battery life while making phone calls. Using Wifi for internet use, it's neck and neck, and something people wouldn't notice.
It's an article with a misleading headline to get the anti-Apple people riled up and feeling superior. It means nothing in real life.
Your buyer's remorse is making you hysterical. Bring sarcastic about it doesn't change that the iPhone 7's battery life is really weak and unacceptable.Yeah, you know what it's like... when you're 712 minutes in on an important phone call & your phone "suddenly" dies!
& you be all: "Wtf?! That phone call was only like 11 hours & 50 minutes! I couldn't have got to a charger for the tail end... Ugh. Flipping Apple! Next time I'm getting an Android; I'd STILL be talking right now- I'm trying to beat my personal record of 16 hours straight, talking on my cell without stopping to charge it, eat, sleep, use the restroom, or breathe!". ;0)
Make the iPhone 8 the same thickness as the HTC 10 and you could get rid of the camera hump and significantly increase battery life. Less than 2mm thicker. But probably 40-50% increase in battery volume. I can't imagine there'll be as many folk complaining about 'thick & heavy' as currently complain about poor battery life.
Try comparing phone sizes, not screen size. If Android devices can get 2x more talk time by having the phone 2mm wider and 0.8mm thicker, I'll take it.
138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm iPhone 7
145.9 x 71.9 x 9.0 mm HTC 10 +43% volume
149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7 mm LG 5 +29% volume
142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm S7 +20% volume
That just makes them even larger in comparison than the simple screen size. They are much larger phones than the iPhone 7
Strange how Ars did a test and found iPhone 7 outlasted all these others... http://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/0...at-annual-upgrades-with-one-major-catch/5/#h6
This is way more technical compariso.
Which's tests are an utterly insane comparison. You can only compare to 4.7" phones.

So the iPhone gets worse batter life using protocols (3G) that pretty much no one uses any longer. Got it.
This article is using... TALK TIME to measure battery performance???? What is this 1998?
The Guardian makes some real nit-picking points in the review. Fluff caught in the antenna bands? What does this guy keep in his pockets? One almost might think they resented the Telegraph getting a review unit, whereas the Guardian did not.
A smaller battery in the iPhone 7, but it explodes less. Sooooo, feature, not 'fault'?
Plenty of people make calls, and even in just Web browsing it still loses. Sounds like your buyer's remorse is kicking in.

While the iPhone is at least useful for a full day of communication, the Apple Watch 2 is even worse when compared to its main competitor, the Samsung Gear S3.
The Apple Watch 2 doesn't even last 24 hours.
Samsung's Gear S3 lasts 3 to 4 days (and it also includes 4G LTE, which Apple doesn't offer).
Apple does have better design, but the S3 is not exactly ugly, so I personally am jumping ship for the S3 because of the battery life. Yes, I want my smart watch to track my sleep, and if I do it with the Apple Watch, I am left with a dead watch by the morning.
Apple has dropped the ball a few too many times lately and it will bite them eventually -- they don't really have a growth product today, for the first time in a decade or so.
But Tim Cook and the rest of the gang have already made their money, so why should they care...?
I'd actually agree with that - 3G? Doesn't everyone measure using LTE these days?
