iPhone 7 Announced Officially

Alpho · 09-08-2016

Hey there!

Apple has announced the new model of their yearly upgraded flagship smartphone, the iPhone 7. The new iPhone in my opinion has a lot of advancements that'll benefit my everyday life. I'm not going to go into super detail, though my favorite upgrades are the Waterproofing, Haptic Home-button, and the Camera Upgrades. The default storage capacities were doubled as well and hold the same pricing as last year.

Check it out!

Specs: http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/specs/

Right now I have the iPhone 6s Plus 128GB and I'm loving it. I'll be going with the iPhone 7 Plus 128GB, super happy that it's the price of the 64GB from last year. Though I haven't decided on a color..

Which will you be purchasing? Happy with your old phone?

Pre-Order is tonight at 12:01AM PST!

Im still happy with my current phone, IPhone 5S lol! Only because I dont have enough money to upgrade for awhile. But im happy staying at my current model.
Although the 7 does look pretty cool, and I may decide to upgrade some time in the future...

This is beyond ******ed.

Steve Jobs is literally dying in his grave.

Who's the genius who thought removing the headphone jack was a good feature?

Are Apple designers and employees devolving into Neanderthals? Because it sure looks that way.

Who.

The ****.

Cares?

Buy a goddamn waterproof case, that's probably a lot cheaper than their demented Air Pods.

WHICH BY THE WAY, ONLY LAST FOR 5 HOURS.

OH THANKS APPLE, I REALLY LOVE HAVING TO CHARGE MY HEADPHONES. THIS IS SO CONVENIENT. OOPS I LOST ONE, GUESS I'LL HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER.

Apple has evolved into the EA of mobile phone industry. NEAnderthals

Waiting for the upgrade aye

imSupah · 09-09-2016

Sticking to my 5s for now and upgrading to 6s this fall. Screw the 7. Too expensive and not really worth it as of now. It's even more stupid that the new headphone jack is the lighting connector. Means I can't charge, listen to music, and play my iPhone all at the same time anymore unless I get wireless ones. Nope.

Waterproofing? It will once again feature IP67 rated water resisitance, like the Galaxy S5. The S7 is rated IP68, which is not really monumental, but probably a small step above beyond the nano coating on both devices. The S8 is expected to feature the same resistance rating, announced in Spring.
(Apple has avoided the standard water resistance rating system until this model)

This is literally the game plan in the market. People don't really care about its water resistance, it just looks great when they purchase it so they can advertise it as such. Realistically, they don't have to dump a lot of money into it because everyone is using a case anyway.

Apple's decision to remove the headphone jack probably is an act of "courage" to continue to lead the market to the "next generation" or "next standards" of technology. Bluetooth headphones/earbuds are nothing new, but I'm sure much like the previous iterations of Apple headphones, any other brand you go with will probably deliver the same experience, or offer a bit more.

I think Apple really "went through the motions" here, expecting existing customers to really stick to the brand no matter what. The downside is that I believe they will still succeed.

EDIT: Also, I don't mean to knock the OP from posting, just voicing my opinion.. All in all, the company still produces great phones and I'm sure this will be no exception. I just personally think it will leave a bit to be desired from me as a customer.

Waterproof cases are terrible, they bulk your phone up significantly compared to a typical bumper case and put an extra layer between your screen that can make it harder to use if there's any kind of gap.

twilit · 09-09-2016

or you could just not do water-related things with your damn phone.//

But really, who needs a 256gb phone?
And I use earphones for everything... Okay so I dont upgrade. But eventally Ill need to upgrade. And there will be no option, assuming they dont put the port back in future generations.

Weeno · 09-09-2016

It seems cool I guess, I can see my self using the normal black colored version.

Areo · 09-09-2016

No headphone jack is beyond stupid. I don't want to have crapples be my only option for headphones

John · 09-09-2016

I ain't going to lie this would be a major upgrade from my HTC One M8 and I'm slowly leaning back towards Apple since I've been with Android for three years now...

Weeno · 09-09-2016
