Man, I was gonna go smaller with the next iPhone I got since I've been rocking a 6+ since launch, but dem dual cameras look hot.
You can double-tap it to access Siri, so there will probably be something along those lines.
Maybe punch yourself in the ear to shuffle.

You'll be waiting 2 years if the 8 is your target. the "S" would be next year, assuming a consistent rotation.
I'm also trying to decide whether it's worth moving away from my 6+. Feeling kinda meh, tbqh.
Perfect.
Also, lol at those screen resolutions
(My Turbo 2 is 2560x1440, and it has a headphone jack).

They have the payment scheme in the UK now. Temping for sure. Anyone here done it in the past?

With next year being the 10th anniversary people are rumoring the iPhone 8 as a complete redesign. No "S" year.

The new glossy black is awesome.
1080p IPS is a disappointment. The inevitable amoled 1440p (8 or 7s?) will look astonishing though.

Shake to shuffle
Been rumors that next year will be the 8.
The 7 feels like a 6s again. Very similar design.

It seems kind of stupid to have this beautiful piano black like finish on a phone only to tell people to put a case on it because it scuffs easily.

No headphone jack like the rumors have been telling since early this year. It's going to piss off a lot of casual users for sure, and hopefully Apple will feel the heat and bring it back on the next iPhone.

dimensions appear to be the same, will depend if the camera's fit the cutouts.

I'm hoping the same. Really like the 7, but can wait if the cost is too much.
Seems the least immediately impressive new numbered version of the iPhone at first glance. Seeing as my 6S+ is still awesome I'm very happy to sit this generation out when the benefits over what I have aren't there for the price. Still not happy about the headphone jack situation too.

Apple will never ever backtrack on this. Wireless audio will only be better a year from now.

Considering how fragile the lightning port already is (seriously, I used to work at RadioShack and replaced at least 15 cables every day) I have my doubts that that dongle will be durable. Not to mention the thousands of dumbass kids who will lose them at school. All to make the damn thing a couple MM thinner.
Dumb move Apple, dumb fucking move. I hate to be that fucking guy, but I'm going to be that fucking guy - Steve would have never done this.

They will absolutely backtrack on this. In a years time they will be talking about how the next iphone will have it return.
Yeah if Steve were here he would have said to own your micro abrasions like the ones on your most played records. He must be rolling in his grave.

it's ok, next year there won't be one at all
Ahh! Don't tell me it's like the capacitive buttons on older android phones.
Nightmare fuel.
I think we'll have heard the worst of it by the time it actually comes out to be honest. Give it a few days for the bloggers to publish the numerous articles they've already written about how terrible it is.
For the truly casual buyers--the people whose contracts have now expired and will go into the store knowing next to nothing about the device--they'll just use the headphones that come in the box like always.
"Oh, it goes in this hole instead? Weird." Then they'll start playing with the new camera tricks or talk about how iMessage looks like Snapchat now or any other of the features that "normal people" actually care about.

The fucking balls Apple has, they just made millions of headphones absolutely useless by bundling in a dongle you can use to plug your old headphones into.
Why don't they think of the lightning pods?

Presumably the point is to remove the mechanical, moving button as a point of failure.

Depends on your carrier. AT&T Doesn't do contracts at all and I think Verizon only does the for legacy customers.

Matte Black or Shiny Black? Which one?

I think sales would have to be absolutely disastrous for them to backtrack. I can't recall the last time Apple ever really flip-flopped on removing an older technology and then putting it back into a product.
totally lol
who needs battery life and heat management when you can watch all these 4K shizzles on your phone.
I'm assuming that is part of the waterproofing.
Id go for the matte one. It looks better imo. But different strokes, and all.
Lag, and explosions are in, buddy. Get with the times. Lol
How does the pricing for the upgrade program work in the US? trying to guess if it would be affordable in the UK.
Pricing is a joke, but that's probably down to the stupid exchange rate. The supposedly cheaper 'old' 6S is the same price it was last year when new, and the 7 is £100 more expensive
