Actually sounds like a great list of features for a new device. Can't wait to watch the unveiling.
If you are getting the Plus that is.
Haha 2009, holla at this 2014 example.
This is not childish at all and a legit question. If burn in happens after two or three years then it is still worth discussing. Don't dismiss a legit concern to defend Samsung.

A10 plus same res screen = this thing is going to fucking fly.
This note 7 is a significant step down from my 6S Plus in performance and battery life - can't wait for the ip7.

Think I'm not going to do a bi-yearly upgrade for the first time since I got my first smart phone. I just don't see the benefit over my 6 given the specs that have leaked. Now if the new Apple Watch has GPS and I can leave my phone behind on runs from now on I'm getting that instead.

Really curious about these hand gestures. My gut says let's not hold our breath.
I've never seen a SamOLED screen (including S6) that didn't burn in after days/weeks. Not a single one. Mostly the status bar & navigation and many people won't see it because whatever
Note 4 and 3x Nexus 6P lasted a couple of weeks here.
Sounds like what was expected. Apple's soc development is top shelf and the A10 will end up as an A10x in the iPad Pros next refresh. Dual camera was known for a long while now, as were the storage tiers and so were rumors about a colour switch up. Adaptor for the 3.5mm makes sense until people stop freaking the fuck out about it and then with next year's actual new iPhone they can probably rip people off by charging $19.99 for it.

My S7 Edge has zero burn in, had it since March.

Sounds decent but I think I will wait until next year especially with it being the 10 year anniversary if I'm not mistaken

All amoleds burn in. It's bad if you browse the internet alot or keep the screen on. Visit any store with demo units and you will clearly see it when switching to something with a white or light colored background. Even the latest phones do it.

It also doesn't use the traditional on-screen buttons Android does because Samsung knows better. I know for both AMOLED phones I have owned those buttons were the first thing that burnt-in.
Word. I would love the stabilization part and some amount of optical zoom, but fuck it I am never getting a giant tablet like phone. Phones are bloated as they are I dont want a damned brick that wont fit in your pockets without showing a massive unfoldable slab.

Store phones have the screens on for eight/nine hours a day, every day.

Sooo not interested in upgrading.

Even using them less, if you have the screen on about 4 hours a day as most people do, you will see burn in. Has happened on every phone I've owned with OLED. The status bar is usually the main thing to burn in and you don't really notice the burn in unless you game or use something else that removes the status bar.

Friends with the galaxy phones (s5-6 iirc) have mentioned burn in, but it's barely noticeable when they show me, you have to actively look for it. Not sure if it gets progressively worse over multiple years or not.

Nice that they're dropping the 16GB SKU, but the storage tiers Apple really needs to reconsider are the iCloud ones.
5GB for free just isn't enough anymore. Plain and simple.

Will this tech make its way into the next iPhone SE?
Yes, the black iPhone 4/S was the pinnacle of iPhone design.
I agree, but 99c for 50GB is really cheap.
I put a case on my 3GS (my first iPhone) due to it being so glossy. I absolutely hated it.

So does the lightning port now support analog audio out or is the adapter going to have a DAC built in?

i might actually be tempted by this. good riddance space grey! i loved the old black iphone 5. also they are included a 3.5mm jack so at least we don't need to buy it. i'd still prefer if they kept the 3.5mm jack but whatever. also for me 32GB is way more than enough. 16gb is enough for me to be honest since i don't actually store anything but apps on my phone. if anything else maybe some pictures.
if the iphone 7 at 32gb is the cheapest at around £540 (same as the cheapest 6s) then brilliant. i will totally pay that.

You can see it on older phones as well.
I don't wanna baby my screen like that and I don't buy a new phone every two years. AMOLED burn in is (AFAIK) caused by wear so it's not preventable by switching content unless you periodically have an inverted notification/navigating bar.
I don't think the gains are really worth it either. LCD is brighter, the black levels, though nice, are only noticeable in dark environments, battery life is a wash (better with dark content, worse with white) and I prefer the general look of LCD with bigger pixels and no rainbow effect.

7+ 128 gig version day one. I have an iPhone 6+ and I absolutely love it. I was thinking about switching back to Android with the Galaxy Note 7 but seeing as how the iPhone 6s absolutely mashes it in speed tests im gonna stay put.

I'm due for my refresh so 7+ 128 for me.
256 just seems like over kill but I'll be happy if the 128 is now the midtier price the 64 used to be.

I thought there was some rumor of them bumping the base tier, since they just bumped the max to 2TB
Personally I think I will actually go with 256GB over 128GB. Moving from a 64GB phone will be crazy, but I want to start downloading all my Apple Music libraries instead of relying solely on streaming, and I expect those new amazing photos and videos are going to take more space. I just want to have the most space possible and forget about it
Sorry but already people are experiencing burn in (not simple image retention) on Nexus 6Ps, S7 Edges and OP3s and those are all latest generation devices, some of those people you can find the Android general thread.
You people spouting crap about this being solved years ago are just spreading misinformation, it's been since 2011 that for you people OLED screens are "problem free" and yet year after year you see problems (IR and burn-in in primis) but this myth never stops.
OLED screens are nice and all but still have really bad reliability.
That being said i will be sure to get this iPhone instead of waiting for next years because it has an LCD screen and i'll be sure to keep using this one as long as possible if the OLED technology doesn't have a breakthrough and if Apple continues to choose them for their devices.
There are people in android threads talking about burn in just recently.
Don't spread misinformation because you are preoccupied with Phone Warz
