I've never owned since the iphone 4 anything but an iphone and still do.

I won't call you dipshit coz that won't accurately describe you. But I'll certainly call you a fucking moron and the kind of sheep that makes all the rest of us have to swallow the shit we're being fed which you have no problem dipping into. and we must do it quietly too so as ur femeniny ass doesn't get ruffled.

Had you and the ones like you been smarter Apple wouldn't do such moves usually reserved for the mass marketing producers. Apple's a niche company, or at least, that's what made it, and now, they're milking us and close to zero innovation due to narrow perception blind sheep like you.

So in the least, shut ur hole when i'd like to rant about it; it's as much a right for me as u being a sheep. Carry on. Maaaa'.

Thank you for clearly showing us you are the real moron here.

1) its been well established the line for innovation has hit a ceiling. One can not constantly have huge innovation every cycle. Its small steps at this point.

2) you're the typical "I hate apple" sheep who is coming in HERE....the apple news and discussion thread...for people who like apple. And laying down your shit smearing campaign.

The only holes that need to be shut are you gaping foul orifices.

Speaking of sheep.

Queen "unoriginal I repeat everything everyone else says because I dont how to think for myself" has to follow around other people attempting to slam me because he's too much of an idiot and a follower.

You're welcome.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I've never seen someone so passively submissive and so cleverly equipped in demonstrating to what extent he is essentially blinder than a real sheep.

You go ahead, enjoy.

Very true. Almost all his retorts consist of insults and other personal attacks, among a wide range of other fallacies.

I don't have time to read (I don't live on AZ) but they are definitely listed here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

btw thanks for posting the detailed info about the camera, I also read that the Samsung S7 still has a better camera lol. Man things sure went downhill after the demise of Steve Jobs.

Thought I was gonna be screwed after I stopped at one store by me and there was a line to get inside and calling another just had me on hold so long I just hung up. My friend's brother works at a Verizon store and he had enough to go around so I ended up picking up my 128GB 7. Is it a huge breakthrough after my 6? No, but this thing is blazingly fast, there's plenty of small improvements that build upon how good the 6 was, and I'm happy to have a much better battery now since mine was spazzing out.

Got my 7 in yesterday. The home button will take some getting used to. It does seem to be a good bit faster than my 6+ and the smaller size is much better for me. Overall I'm happy with the new phone.

Btw, has anyone tested the water resistance yet? I don't want to be the guinea pig. Lol

I saw iFixIt left it in a fish tank for like 8 hours and the timer on the phone was still going. Apparently YouTube is the stomping ground for test videos with someone else pouring coffee into the glass it was in, and someone in Australia took it into the ocean even though Apple says to avoid salt water.

I would be weary of soaking the phone, especially if have a tendency to drop your devices. I would also wait and see how Apple/carriers handle warrantying phones that sustain water damage, because that will be inevitable.

I am still debating upgrading from my 6. Has anyone gone from the 6 to the 7,and noticed a big difference? I also heard a rumor that Apple is going to skip the 7S and just go straight to the 8 (who knows how much truth that has...)

I think what everyone said a couple pages back is right, that we shouldn't expect huge changes anymore, and just improvements in the phone itself.

I dropped my 6 in the water once and it was fine. I am sure your 7 will have no problem.

There probably won't be a 7S due to next year being the 10th anniversary iPhone.

Wow, good point! That's what I am afraid of if I use my upgrade this year. I am sure they will do something big for the 10th anniversary iPhone. Hmmmm......

Ended up getting a black 128GB 7 Plus on launch day. I saw the Jet Black, it looks great, but the smudging drove me insane and I don't use a case so the scratches would get to me. Apple offered to get me a Jet Black one on Oct 3rd but I told them I didn't want it anymore. I thought it would get hard to get use to the Plus sized phone but I kind of like it. Loving this new phone so far.

I found an awesome new feature I didn't know about.

If you get a voicemail, and you highlight that voicemail...it attempts to give you a written transcription.

Not only is that an awesome feature, it happened at the perfect time as I was at lunch in a very noisy location where I couldn't hear the VM anyway.

I wonder how well that works, cause android has had it for a while now, but sometimes the transcription gets all messed up and ends up being comical

Went from 6 to 7. A lot faster with the new processor, camera is ever better, Touch ID is near instantaneous, and the stereo speakers sound pretty good for being on a phone.
