If this years iPhone doesn't have a headphone jack - I predict the world will explode with rage :p

Very much looking forward to it, as usual :) Roll on next week!
 
Looking forward, its new phone time :)

Might be tempted by the watch, never thought i'd like the first one but its become something I wear every day.
 
I know I won't be buying a new handset any time soon, so I'm secretly happy that the case design appears to be similar to 6/6s :p
 
Still on a 6 here and I know that if I watch the keynote I will want the new one regardless of how little has been updated. My 6 still works really well and even though my gf has the 6s and it is considerably quicker, its not really at the point yet where its an issue.

Might see what contracts are about if it is a good update but next year seems to be the one to get excited for. They can't keep the same design for 4 years in a row and all rumours point to a massive change for the iphone 8/7s.
 
Shame we won't see the MBP updates even though we know they are coming, guessing they will have a separate event, either way shutupandtakemymoney.jpg

Will be an expensive month :eek: New phone, new watch and new MBP.
 
Seems Vodafone NL accidentally leaked some info and it really is the iPhone 7 after all and not the SE. Though with Apple's image tagline and the decision to host the event on the 7th I guess that was almost confirmation in itself.

If true, as predicted it seems it's very little to get excited about. Better battery, better CPU/GPU, better camera and...yeah that's about it. Interesting that this time they've specced the Plus up with an extra gig of RAM over the regular though.

I've noticed that my 6S Plus has a bit more animation lag vs my old regular 6, I wonder if the extra resolution is hurting performance.
 
I'm happy with my iPhone 6 still. The 6s was a very marginal upgrades in my opinion and by the looks of it the iPhone 7 will be more or less the same. The 2017 iPhone rumours sound interesting with the possible move to OMLED screen, curved or edge to edge display and the complete removal of the home button along with a new design.

I will be more than likely looking at purchasing the new Apple Watch if it makes an appearance. I'm a wheelchair user and the work Apple has done making the health features accessible to wheelchair users has been really impressive. It also makes the watch much more useful to me now as well.
 
I really don't get the fuss about edge to edge display. I played with a couple of the samsungs in a three store at the weekend and they are really not very nice. The iphone 6 is a much nicer and more premium looking device and the curved glass edges were horrible.
 
Still on a 6 here and have a wedding to save for. Battery life is still great but apart from a fresh restore I don't see the need....yet.

Always watch the keynote, though :p
