    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    Blerg. iPhone 7s+ at 128GB will run me $850 or so next year. So, about $1700 to upgrade household iPhones next year!!!

    What takes the phono out of the iPhone? Courage!

    I'm traveling tomorrow, so I might be able to scan the headlines mid afternoon at the airport, instead of waiting until my normal 8pm to catch up on the announcements.

    “Uh-oh. I sense a disturbance in the Force. iPhone 7 is coming. And if the rumors are true, the logic of iPhone naming will be soon be stress-tested. Before we dig in, it’s important to note that the name of the new device is unconfirmed at this point. We have only an assumption based on...

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    This is the current issue exactly: Apple is removing a legacy feature that is extremely robust, completely useful and there's no apparent benefit or replacement technology in this loss. Thinner? The iPod Touch is thinner still, and has a headphone port. Wireless headphones? Don't need to remove...

    * it doesn't * waterproof is possible with headphone jack * nope (digital snake oil, that one). Also, already possible since lightning headphones are a thing * not an advantage since its already possible The most plausible explanation I've heard is that Apple plans an edge-to-edge screen for...

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    I'm not going nuts, but I'm glad this is my off year from upgrading. I've got $300 Bose NC headphones I use regularly with my iPhone and iPad. In 2017, I seem to be faced with stupid dongle or spend another $300 to replace with them with the new BT version. Let's say I'm open to an explanation...

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    While I'm sure this will be interesting to me, as the events always are, it might not have anything for me. I'm a year way from my next iPhone. iPads probably come out in March 2017 -- a sticky situation since we need an upgrade sooner than later. I want a new desktop, but no new Macs at the...

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    On a two-year trade-in from 5s to 6s, plus switching carriers from AT&T to Verizon, Verizon's trade-in was $50+ better than Gazelle. That was last year. I hear so much advertising about how great Gazelles prices are, I was surprised and disappointed and it made me somewhat anti-Gazelle. I think...

    Yes :) I loved my iPhone 4. But it's night and day between the 4 and the 6s. For the camera alone.

    Ah, I didn't notice that Amazon offers store credit. That's an important detail. In the details “Once your trade-in has been paid, you'll see the amount when viewing your gift card balance.” https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=9187220011

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    FYI for those thinking of trade-in, for a 128GB 6s+: Verizon offers $300 AT&T offers $355 Gazelle offers $360 Amazon offers $500 I don't know all the in's and out's, but it might worth checking your options for potentially another $100+...

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    The camera is important to me. I use it almost daily. It's my everything camera: daily use, cats, home improvements, family events, vacations. And the differences between cameras every two years are significant. If I could afford it, I'd buy a new phone every year just for the camera. In that...

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    I think you're a bit jaded, Ron. Dual-lens camera itself is pretty evolutionary, possibly revolutionary. It seems assured this will be "evolutionary"; it's not going to be a repeat of the 6s/6s+ internals. We're several years past the low-hanging fruit of the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. The...

    Does 2017 bring us the iPhone 8? Or iPhone 7s, since they've been doing "s" on alternate years. Or maybe iPhone 10 for the 10th anniversary? :)

    Apple Event Sept 2016 (iPhone "7" and more?)

    it speaks to the maturity of the iPhone and the seemingly exhaustive rumor-reporting that no one cares to create an iPhone 7 thread just weeks ahead of the event. But that's the boring tech world of 2016 :) “iPhone 7: No Headphone Jack! Dual Cameras, and More”...
