This makes me excited. Didn't realize it was the 10th anniversary next year already. How time flies by.
My iPhone 6 is completely shattered, but I'm probably gonna pay for a repair within the next half year.
could also be because multitasking like that on a phone sucks
Me too. I'm just about managing with 32GB on iPad Pro, I think I'd be comfortable with 32 on an iPhone. Not having 64GB is almost as stupid as being stuck with 16GB on the base model for so long.

Right but it was janky as fuck on Samsung devices I had used. Apple didn't invent it, they just made it work really well on a mobile device.
Yeah I think they are going to a tick tock tock cycle because they came make more significant advances in case design on a three year cycle than a two. Or perhaps aligning with the 10 year anniversary is a special case and they'll go back to tick tick after the 8.
The anti-AMOLED stuff in this thread is bizarre. I have a S6 for about a year now and the display is the best thing about the device. The quad HD minute detail and AMOLED colors are glorious and bring a smile to my face every time I use it.
It blows the iPhone's display out of the water. No image retention issue whatsoever too.

Preorder day should be the 9th, launch day is the 16th or 23rd.
To estimate month-to-month pricing take the estimated full price of the phone and divide it by 24. I'm on the iPhone Upgrade Program through Apple which includes AppleCare in the cost and I pay $40.75 a month for a 6s Plus 64GB
Without the pain of paying for an adapter? Who the fuck do you think you are?
Here goes this shit again. Hope you enjoy your tiny little 4 incher to go with your tiny hands and other tiny anatomy.
Stop quoting him. He's obviously trolling to rile up someone.
I know. Both he and Jaxapollo are insufferable shit posters in iPhone threads.
apple are gods at not quite giving you what you want, and making money off it as a result
Alright, thanks for the info. I'm 1 payment away from being eligible for an upgrade. Last iphone I owned was the 4. Thought I'd come back

Multitasking works fine on the Note 4, Note 5, S6 and S7.
So, no, apple weren't the first to "make it work really well".
It's better than pretending that 16GB is still a viable option. Baby steps...

My Samsung S6 battery is useless. It just sucks up so much power that I have to always be conscious of how much I'm using it during the day.

I haven't even used 10 gbs in my 6s plus.

Glossy piano black, gives me a boner
My 128gb iPhone 6 is 99% full all the time but I have a lot of podcasts, audiobooks, photography and music on my phone. I end up riding close to my 10gb data plan every month so I use offline storage as much as I can.
After two flights in a row where the inflight entertainment didn't work, I'm looking forward to having enough buffer room to fit a few movies on my phone just in case.

256GB piano black iPhone 7 Plus, here I come!

Would be a great upgrade from my iPhone 5 16 GB lol
I'm on a bigger data plan now so I could stream more podcasts rather than hoarding them offline. But I wish apple would change how photos are synced. I'd like to be able to upload them to the cloud but delete them from the phone to free up space, just keeping favourites. Right now you can't do that
Yeah right now my Mac is in repair for a variety of reasons so I'm carrying 5gb of vacation photos around with me until I get it up and running again. (Should be done this weekend, just needed the latest version of Diskwarrior...)
Also I have 5gb in my iMessages and I'd like to archive all that and get it off the phone. What can I say, I send a lot of screenshots of funny things from Twitter etc to my wife.

Sounds hot except for the pants-on-head, fuck-my-earholes-bonkers removal of the headphone jack. What crap.
Seriously, I've got to carry around an adaptor to use the most common accessory ever with my phone? Sit and spin you dicks.

Guess I'll go with a 7S+ somewhere down the line.

It's time to upgrade my 16GB iPhone 5S. I don't know how I managed 16GB this long, I have like 300MB left. Gonna jump on that 128GB train.

Can we recommend front-facing speakers?
Also, re: colors, I wish they gave you the option of getting a white or black front with any back color. I love the gold back but would rather have a black front.
Also I plan to do the Apple store yearly upgrade program, do I pre-order at the Apple store to do it?

Ah, so that explains why Google's implementation of it in Nougat is an almost exact copy of Apple's method--because Samsung's was just so good and user friendly.
Seriously though, if you like how Samsung did it, that's great. I just happen to disagree with you. That's not to say I dislike Samsung or the stuff they make. But if their method of multitasking were so fantastic, you'd think Google would have implemented something similar into Nougat rather than the very-iOS-like thing they did instead.
But whatever. Our opinions don't match. Not a big deal. I still love you.
Yep. I've bent two of the stubby fuckers in the past year or so, and I'm not rough on my stuff at all.
It's silly, sure. But I doubt I'll really miss it down the line.
I use my standard earbuds at the gym and my QC25 everywhere else. I'd just leave the adapter on my QC25 and use the new lightning earbuds in the gym.
My problem is more with how relatively unstable the lightning connector is compared to the rock-solid 3.5mm jack.
I don't think there's a lot of 'anti' stuff, just that people need to be honest that there can be issues with it. Pretending there can't be any burn in is just not true.
That said, it can make for a beautiful display and if the issues are minor it's well worth a look.

I'll definitely miss it. All of my headphones use, you know, headphone jacks and I have no intention of subjecting myself to whatever tinny garbage comes bundled with the phone.
Apple has achieved a new low in anti-consumer idiocy.
I need my phone to do four things at bare minimum: make and take calls, access the internet, take photos, and play my music. It's common fucking sense not to screw with any of these baseline functions.

Preorder online and pick up at the Apple Store

I'm not actually speaking strictly for myself, but for the huge amount of real estate agents that use the multitasking that Samsung aimed this at.
As for the Google difference, well...google gonna google. I've certainly not been a fan of a lot of their decisions.

I'm up for upgrade on my contract and will probably get this. This lack of headphone jack may finally lead me to invest in some Bluetooth headphones.
Anyone got good recommendations on Bluetooth headphones?

Not true. At all. Have you used the newest iPad mini? The multitasking is amazing. In what capacity could you possibly think watching a video while browsing twitter/GAF sucks? Do you really not want to be able to FaceTime while operating features of your phone? Come on.
My money is on the 10th anniversary device being exactly this. Bring back the OG curves and size, Apple. But with the same storage capacity and power as the larger iPhones.
Pretty much, I don't know what Apple was thinking with going with the same look but whatever...
0% chance
There is no way in hell Apple will release a 3.5" 2:3 display in 2017.
It may not technically be Quick Charging but using a 2.1A charger will get a 6s plus from 0 to 100% in about two hours.
All of these changes are incremental, nothing mind blowing unless you get the plus model for the dual camera.
Feels like an 'S' upgrade rather than a number change, should have called it the iPhone 6T.
Might just the 5SE and wait for next years model as the speculation behind that one with OLED and no physical button and a bode redesign is far more interesting.

Hopefully the 128GB will take the spot of the 64GB price wise if not I'll have to get the 32GB ugh

I predict the same starting price as before but a $150 jump between tiers, like the current ipads
6s:
16GB $650
64GB $750
128GB $850
7:
32GB $650
128GB $800
256GB $950
