Anyone with 6 going for the 7? I bought the 6 64GB outright when it was released and there's nothing compelling enough in the 7 urging me to pay up the extra for a 7. Maybe if I was on a contract and it was upgrade time it'd be a no brainer and I'd do it. But the the 7 just isn't £350+ more phone over the 6 for me.

I'm pretty certain the AirPods will work with all iPhones. The same chip is in the new Beats headphones and they wouldn't target those at just iPhone 7 users.
How many of you guys genuinely charge your phone at the same time as using headphones by the way. I have never done that.
I can't help but think that lots of people love to become indignant about things that they don't even need/care about.
Wireless charging seems to be seen as some panacea for smartphones. I have about 4 lightning cables in various sockets around our flat so I can charge my phone easily without having to move a single cable about. I wouldn't buy 4 wireless charging pucks so it would make very little difference to me. Charging and discharging phones by a few % at a time isn't good for the battery either and that would be the main advantage of it no?

It's bluetooth, works with all the iPhones from the last few years.

IIRC last year they only did in store reservation where you reserve the night before and collect and pay the next day from launch day onwards.
All uncollected stock and new stock got added back to the reservation system at about 8pm or midnight every night. That's what I ended up doing.
Before launch day you can only buy (and pay) online to ship to store or ship to your house (I think!)

hmm interesting thanks for posting this!
still, i have a que of audio stuff i want and these are at the bottom
. actually got me looking around for a cheaper pair and there are some very cheap and highly rated wireless products out atm. I do hate the wire while walking the dog and fear of pulling my phone on the treadmill.hmm interesting thanks for posting this!

Now obviously Apple doesn't disclose the sensitivity of their devices, but assuming any relatively reasonable listening volume, we are for sure talking about at most of couple of milliwats in audio power.
This time last night I was set to bin my 6S for a 7 Plus. Having slept on it, ignoring the change in form factor, I don't think it is worth it. The camera seems more of a gimmick and I don't feel the need to submerge my phone.
I am interested in the new Watch though, and would like to find out more about it.

Sorry I have read through the thread and may have missed it but can you pre-order tomorrow using the upgrade program?

Charge an extortionate amount for a wireless version of pants headphones or maybe go with wireless Beats? Pants headphones and you look like an idiot. Brilliant strategy. I don't see Steve Jobs agreeing to any of this. It will probably work and make them even more money but in the long run this thinking is stupid imo.
Oh no, I've been making fun of this whole not being able to charge and use cabled headphones at the same time, but I've just realised that I do this all the time in the car!

Phil's advice is to spend $50 on a dock...that won't work in the car, I might actually have to get one of those adapters. Or make the plunge to wireless...their plan to move us into the wireless future might actually be working...

And off I go to browse all the bluetooth headphones I didn't even know existed on Amazon.
Apple really need to sort themselves out - no AirPods at launch and the the portrait depth of field software features aren't ready yet, I think they're slacking and leaving money on the table here.
A good thing for me though, hopefully I can find some significantly cheaper alternatives wireless headphones seeing as the Apple ones aren't out yet!

I think that this is the more useful representation:

Frankly the upwards trend on sales would make an investor pretty comfortable with the current Apple business decisions. From my own perspective I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot barge pole as I can't stand the Apple ecosystem... they aren't going away any time soon though.
