I'm staying with my SE 
It's lot of other Apple-stuff that I will upgrade before changing phone.
New iMac later this year maybe or early next.
Start to want a Watch 2 or wait for 3 if it comes this year ?
Want a newer iPad then my Air 2 also. Biggest Pro I think....how soon?

I don't know.
I have a 6s and I don't want to spend too much on the new iPhone so if iPhone 8 will cost more than $1000 I won't buy it.
Since my 6s is still a great phone the only model I could buy is the 7s+ to switch to the bigger display and have the dual camera. But I'm not sure about that, iPhone 8 would have the bigger display without a bigger chassis, I may regret buying the 7s+

KGI reported a while back that it will have 521 PPI (or five twenty-something), along with stating the specific resolution, so pretty much QHD. Unless he's wrong of course, but I'm confident it will have a higher resolution. I think they'd want to go all out to compete with the latest Android phones. They're already doing that by including OLED so they might as well.

Pretty sure you can pick whichever you want as you will be essentially starting a new contract and closing the old one.
If I do something stupid this fall, like break my phone. Lose it. Or have it stolen. Then likely. But I have been handing down my 2 year old phones to people, including last fall with my 6. Just bought 2 new SE models for some others I have been handing down phones to. So both get better phones than what they had. NEW phones instead of hand me downs. And I save money by keeping my 7+ for at least year.
Well you better get her something else to make up for the fact that you bought her the cheaper phone and bought yourself the better phone. JMO.

They have built brand loyalty and they built it in large part through excellent customer service.

Or Louis Vuitton purse.
I don't know. If I could come up with it, it wouldn't be very impressive now would it?
I think most of the major "innovation" has already been accomplished in the smartphone sector.
Did you know that around 1899 the head of the US patent office allegedly said that they could close the office because every invention had already been thought of?
Yes, in 1899.
Either 7s+ or the 8, depends if they do get rid of Touch ID and how well face recognition works. Also pricing out the 8 too
I will buy it because I need another phone in the family. My 7 that I bought a week ago (not as an upgrade or anything, but because I had no phone for 6 months) will go to my father to replace his 5s, I will take the new one when it comes.
Interesting. I'll wait and see. I use my iPhones for as long as possible before upgrading. Usually lack of new IOS support is the trigger to upgrade. I'm still using the 5S. If I do get the 8 it'll used for a long while so that might be it's appeal. Still finding hard to believe that Apple will release a 7S and an 8 at the same time.
I'm ready to upgrade from my iPhone 6.
However, pricing for Apple products have gotten ridiculous over here, so I will wait
and see.

Wow how did you get your battery to last so long? We traded mine in toward the SE for my daughter because she was having problems with my hand-me-down 5s battery running down too fast and not holding a charge for very long. There were other reasons we traded it for a little discount on the SE but that was the main one.
