Jet black 128gb ordered. 
Up until last year three were doing the one plan, unlimited everything for £15 a month, 4G, feel at home, 12GB tethering, it's now £21 but you get £3 discount by paying via DD, luckily I'm still paying £15 for it so I always buy my phones outright. I've had this same sim only deal for 5 years now and it can't be beaten.
Implementing any USB standard incorrectly will kill devices if you wire it wrong, as per the article linked. The same can be said for any manufacturing where quality control processes are poor or non-existent. Even if you are MFI certified this doesn't stop poor quality control,or badly made products leaving the factory.
Presently Apple have committed themselves to a low bandwidth, delivery using their current connector, but if they are serious about moving forward and having interoperability and making the likes of the iPad Pro a true laptop replacement, then they are really going to be left with no choice, than either adding a USB-C port, or changing the current connector to one, including on the phone.
Pop back in 24 months at the release of the Iphone 8, and we'll see what connector it has on it. I'm sure the people who forked over for Lightning headphones won't mind using an adapter cable to switch to USB-C
Are you sure about that £3 discount. All they have on their sim only deals is that you save £5 by paying via DD but that is already included in the prices shown. There is no £16/month deal so I assume you mean their £21 (or £26 without DD discount) which isn't that amazing anymore.
I was on a nice three deal too until they knocked it up by about £4/month. *****
It could be actually, I haven't looked in a while, no need really when I'm on this plan 
Contract prices are always high at first with apple though, I remember when I got my first iPhone 4, £129 up front and £51 a month on 3, after that I went sim only and haven't bothered with another contract, sod paying £50 a month anymore.

Reserved a 32gb Black iPhone 7. Going to go for the one without Apple care (http://www.apple.com/uk/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program - if you look for "You can also choose to make low monthly payments without AppleCare+. Learn more about iPhone Payments")
Works out as £27.50 for 20 months, interest free. Can't go wrong.

There's not a cat in hells chance their phones will go to USB-C unless they can figure out some proprietary way of implementing it. I've been close enough to the accessory industry for long enough to be confident in that!
Which is great if you don't plan on upgrading. Whereas I think I'll go for the Apple care model as I expect I will want to upgrade to the anniversary model next year.
But until the 7+ 128/256 are in stock i'm stuck
People are suggesting Apple may go

I think they're just going to drop the numbering tbh
Can you imagine if they don't? I mean the keyboard warriors will literally explode with rage at Apple failing to deliver something they never promised that the furious typers were never going to buy in the first place because they're trying so hard to prove they're not isheep.
And the rest of the world will still buy the crap out of it as those same complainers point to the fact their sales are falling whilst conveniently ignoring plateauing smartphone penetration worldwide.
Yes I've been tired of reading this stuff this week lol.
Wow, didn't realise it's been almost 10 years. I still remember getting the first one at launch at 16 and being the first in my sixth form with it. No one had a clue what it even was, and now look...
I think they'll just go with IPhone rather than a number after it.
Iphone 7 plus 128gb unlimited text &min 10gb data ee £190 upfront and £46 pm seems pretty good to me, tempted but I'm gona wait till the comparison vids are out vs the Note 7, for the camera largely.
Wow just found iphone 7 + 128gb black £299 upfront 5gb unlimited t&m £36 pm

I keep getting called a sheep by my friends. I've been using iPhones for over 8 years now and they refuse to believe that I actually like the iPhone experience and that it must be because I'm a sheep.......
Funny thing is everyone else has an Android phone
