[Closed] iPhone 7

Can I have;

'Interesting product, not that excited tbh, but there's nothing to really dislike about it'

?

obviously I'd lose the headphones in about 3 minutes but I could always tie them together with a bit of string.

Aren't we a day early?

Plan to order one as I'll be getting it free.

I thought I'd start early to be first in line. 😉

When I saw that mock up I thought "they're cool", then immediately thought exactly that. Utterly useless! Bet they don't look anything like that.

Not released yet, 7 on fhe 7th 🙂

Not expecting much, double camera, more memory on the base model 64 is enough for me ? Lightening headphones is a bit of a bore as it won't be possible to have headphones/external speakers and power at the same time. My 6 is still going strong so I'll probably wait for the 7S / 8 in 2017. Still pondering Plus size too.

From what I have read the wireless headphones will not be standard and Apple will provide a lightening to jackplug adapter. All rumour at present

Looks like it should have some good upgrades from my iphone 6

Better camera, more ram, faster processor, better screen. Not sure if it has a better battery though ?

I am more interested in what the apple watch is going to be. If they tailor it further towards the sports watch market as rumoured, giving gps and music without my phone, making it waterproof, that would have me interested.

As with all smartphones, the leaps and bounds advances have happened. It's all now incremental improvements, as evidenced every year at Mobile World Congress (and six months later with the new iPhone).

I get the new one every year. I have a one year contract and sell the phone just before the new one is released which helps cover most of the cost of the new one.
I'm disappointing every year with the incremental upgrades and even more disappointed after 5 mins when everything is loaded from the cloud and your new phone looks and works pretty much exactly like the last one.
I like the idea of this one being waterproof. I put my current one in an ikea sandwich bag otherwise it gets too sweaty in the back of my jersey. Whether or not the new one is anything like the leaks or not is another matter. I don't tend to take too much notice.

Fangirl, ill be looking on the 7th when it gets announced to see if I should move from a 6 to the maybe named iPhone 7. Or maybe wait til the 10 year anniversary next year and see if they come up with some completely new.

MSP - only issue for me with new watch is that its been almost confirmed that it wont have any cellular connectivity so I'll still have to carry both phone and watch at all times even though it comes with the GPS positioning.

I'd lose the headphones in about 3 minutes

Possible solutions:

- String between them with a little clip to attach your clothing.
- Magnets on the back, and tell clothing manufacturers to sew little metal tabs in a special pocket.

Wow, how innovative 😉

There's a big difference between water resistant and waterproof. So far the hunch is that it will be water resistant

My children, well the girls anyway, have a simpler solution, they never appear to remove their headphones.

or like, maybe a little wire to tether them to the actual device so that they stay with it.

And then, then, you could have a special socket to plug them into with a non-proprietary interface and allow a choice of headphones so that people could find some that suited them perfectly rather than compromising with the oem set?

For those of us whose ears aren't iphone-bud shaped those headphones look like a disaster. I have enough trouble with the current ones falling out and dangling; imagine the fun of one of them popping out on an escalator on the tube 😕

I think most of the reports say they'll be supplied with pair of wired lightning earphones, which would be better.

I love how everyone has an opinion about a rumoured/mock image of what they'll be like. At least wait until tomorrow to slag em off! 😆

The only thing that will make me upgrade my iphone 6 is if it's waterproof.

Otherwise I really can't see any reason I would. I've had it nearly 2 years and I've barely had to think about it, it's just been there, doing it's job quietly without fuss.

Unlike the Android phones I used to be a huge fan of, too much bloatware, too many clashing processes and upgrades that don't play well with older (less than 3 years old) phones.

Waterproofing though, that would be a huge weight off my mind. Especially as a bike commuter with the winter coming.

MSP - only issue for me with new watch is that its been almost confirmed that it wont have any cellular connectivity so I'll still have to carry both phone and watch at all times even though it comes with the GPS positioning.

I am not that bothered by requiring to be in contact with the outside world at all times, I would be quite happy to forgo cellular connectivity while doing sport. I can see how adding it and getting it right, without increasing form factor, battery use, expense would be difficult.

I am still not convinced the technology is here yet to make a useful smart watch, but will see what they reveal tomorrow, and if it is close enough for me to jump on board.

Could it be 2mm thicker, in order to contain a battery that would last me a weekend away please?

Ha it's an iPhone, we're not turning water into wine!

MSP - as a mostly solo cyclist who has experienced a bad crash requiring an ambulance, I can't go anywhere without the cellular connectivity so I'm disappointed they didn't manage it, I'd stick with a day a charge of it meant that addition. Already an Apple Watch user so I've not read enough to make me want to swap yet but I am a self confessed Apple snob so 'watch' this space!

[i]Could it be 2mm thicker[/i]

Yes! Then they'd be able to give it a headphone socket 🙂

Can't wait for this!!!!

Means my wife gets the 7.

Meaning daughter no1 gets the wife's 6.

Meaning daughter no 2 gets daughter no 1s 5.

Meaning I will actually get at least 5 minutes at home where someone won't mention new sodding iPhone.

Grrrr.

Let's hope it doesn't have the built in hand warmer like the Samsung.

You could not buy the air phones Jamba and use the wired ones it comes with.

I wish someone would have this as an option.

I can't see it being that much better. I've usually upgraded every 2 years, but I might wait another year this time as my 6 is still perfect and does everything I need.
I don't like the lack of headphone jack either. I've just spent £50 installing a line in on our 2004 Mazda and I could do without having too add a bluetooth adaptor to it....

I'd say thats more your 12 year old car than the newest phone tech.

Odd for me but I'm just not interested in the 7, being a fanbouy n'all.

I'd say thats more your 12 year old car than the newest phone tech.

Car hardly gets used, and we've just bought it! But when it does get used it goes a long way and I like some music.
I don't have any CDs any more and radio is tedious. 🙂

Wonder if it will have the same sporadic screen unresponsivnes issue that my work issue iPhone 6 has.
Total pain in the backside.
It's like it stores up every desperate screen touch then flies through carrying them all out once it unlocks itself.
IT were a bit sceptical until it emailed half the company address book last week.

Never had that with my 6.

Quick Peter go rent a new car to go with your new phone so you can listen on the move like the rest of the sheeple

He's got around that for now so he can do that, if you bother to read his post.

Not if he gets a 7

-if you bother to read his post 😉

It comes with an adapter if you'd read someone elses post. 😀

If people want properly waterproof phones, it's the only way it can be done, the 3.5 socket just can't be made properly watertight

Why?

Pretty sure I still have a nice 80's Walkman somewhere that was waterproof.

Could it be 2mm thicker, in order to contain a battery that would last me a weekend away please?

Yup me too. I always used my 3/3G4/4S without a cover as I preferred them a bit thinner. I use a case with my 6 as otherwise it's too thin.

IMO iWatch will need a phone for the forseeable future, maybe forever ?

IMO the new phone will not be waterproof, just a bit more water resistant

As others have said improvements are now incremental and my 6 is going strong and battery is still fine too so no great incentive to change. I think Apple's sales figures will continue to show less device "churn". The 2017 is rumoured to be getting the edge fo edge glass the exploding Samsung's have so I'd change for that (glass not exploding)

Slightly off topic I'm more interested in Macs as my Mini is 2009 and will not support Sierra so some interested in Skylark orother iMac or ideally Mini upgrades for Q4 2016 and beyond.

Pencil support on a phone would be handy for me.

+1 new Macs please, Tim.

And maybe Uncle Steve can send something good down from on high that nobody was expecting 🙁

With reference to the watch, i would think with the amount of GPS beacons that exist out there now (i know mostly subscription based) that are capable of sending out an emergency SMS that its not that impossible. I'm not talking about being able to text OHs to say 'put the tea on' more so that it texts a specific somebody your location and a short message to say there's been a problem.

I've only just upgraded to a 5S!

I'm still on a 4S! 😀

I've only just upgraded to a 5S!

slow
old
man

🙂

Black one looks nice...

So far it has just about everything that has been predicted for months.

I am quite liking what I see for the watch so far, but want to see what strava and maybe even garmin apps do on it.

Ooh there's a big number.

[applause]

I was just about to post about the whooping and clapping, I guess they have borrowed the Oprah audience.

Maybe it's because there are a lot of 6s around but they are the most likely to have a broken screen out of all the phones that get placed on my counter. The queue of people waiting to get new screens fitted at the Apple store may confirm this.
I'd like the option of a thicker phone with a ginormous battery and upgradeable storage. A 64 gb card for my galaxy cost me £13. I have no idea how much a 64 iphone costs over a 16 but I bet it's a fortune. And I'd like a back button.

Unless they come with rubber bands there is no way that those ear buds would stay put in my ears

What ridiculous price do you think Apple will charge for those earpods?

Not feeling the probability to update my existing bluetooth headphones to any of those offerings.

Looks alright, won't be upgrading as I've got a 6s that cost enough.

IP67 will be handy for all those folk who like to drop their phone down the toilet

I've got a 6S. Yay. And now they're coming out with another one. Yay.

Just give me a phone that phone that phones, and that isn't susceptible to water damage because I breathe too heavy. That's all I ask.

bit like a 6S 2 rather than the usual redesign you get after an s model

Have you seen the pricing!!!!

7 plus

32gb £719
128gb £819
256gb £919

Just give me a phone that phone that phones,

I don't recall them mentioning you could make calls on it 😆

But it's NEW! And SHINY! NEW SHINY THING!

They'll be queuing up for days to buy them.

(Y'alright, Kato? Hope all's tip top)

About £120 more than a Samsung but at least you actually have one.

$159 for those air pod things!

One of the highlights is a touch sensitive home button that vibrates, Surprising my android phone (meizu M3)does this too and cost £77 as opposed to £719 for the IPhone 7,

Works iPhone 6 also has the unresponsive screen previously mentioned and apparently its a known fault that Apple wont admit too.

Apple are taking the P155.

What's more concerning is the amount of news this phone has generated in recent weeks/days. WTF is going on in the world?

I'm off to buy a £30 Nokia.

(Y'alright, Kato? Hope all's tip top)

+1

annoying that they've ditched the 64gb too

Will the airpods work with other phones/iPads?

Agreed, was tempted to get a 64gb 7, but they don't exist. 32gb too small 128gb too spendy

32gb too small 128gb too spendy

Just buy the cheaper one and put a bigger memory card in it.

well I was sitting on the fence, would of easily justified it but with a base model being £719 thats just too damn pricey for what is so little of a change, especially when my 6 works just fine and doesnt have any issues at all.

I'm grand. Baby arriving in January so no £1000 wonder phone for me......

WOOP! WOOP! Email incoming...

I just had my 64gb 6s Plus replaced at the Apple store this morning, was contemplating flogging it and replacing it with a 7. Then I saw what it offered. No chance. The prices are insane. Plus, in a cloud storage and streaming world, who really needs 256gb on a phone? I struggle to fill half of my 64gb..

Millions of Apple fanboys waiting for the MacBook Pro to be updated and Apple offer them this.

Would anyone with a 6 or 6s spend their own money for the minor benefits offered by the 7?

Think they are losing their touch!

Would anyone with a 6 or 6s spend their own money for the minor benefits offered by the 7?

Yes, they will. In their droves. There will be people camping outside the shops for days before they arrive.

Not me this time around, my 6s is excellent.
