iPhone 7 rumors have started

[flhrci]

I knew it would happen soon but did not expect it quite this soon. The Today Show reported this morning that the rumors about the next iPhone have started already and created a 9% stock increase for Apple yesterday.

Make it stop!

iphone 10 or10s? It makes a difference you know.

I'd wait for the 10s.

The fusion battery and implantable option make it worth the wait.

Decided to skip the hydrogen fuel cell option?

Nothing new (no pun) here.

Since the release of the first personal computers waaaay back <mumble> years ago, there has always been the question of buy now or wait for the next greatest version that would be available Real Soon Now.

Heck, I'm sure the really old timers can tell us about the upgrade frenzy with the old IBM mainframes, Dec minis, etc.

Moore's law is an expensive GD sumbich to keep up with.

 

[steingar]

I bet money it closely resembled the iPhone 6.

All that said, I have one of these gizmos and find it entirely convenient.

 

[LDJones]

I heard it has a faster processor and improved camera.

Man, how'd you know? You're probably 100% on predictions!

Not my first rodeo! :wink2:

I heard a rumor that it comes with a tiny parachute in the event that you drop it.

But that might encourage people to carry it with less care!

True. Flip phone users are going to be all over it.

 

[SkyHog]

The 10s will have expandable memory. iTards will beam about how it's the first smart phone to offer such a feature.

I don't recommend getting your stock info from the today show. AAPL has moved @ 4-5% over the last 2 days...nothing to do with iPhone 7 rumors. I wish it was up 9% as I have a chunk of change invested with them.

Is it even reasonable to not think the iPhone 7 is in the works?

 

[Pilawt]

About as reasonable as buying a new 2016 Ford today and believing they won't come out with a 2017 model next fall ...

Apple wants you to enjoy their product, but only for a little while. Then they want you to need a new one.

I need to upgrade from the 4 I have to be able to install the Lyft app which requires iOS 8.

Looking at a 5s, wow that's expensive. 6s? only 600-700 bucks!

A friend who is really into phones paid over 1000 for his 6+ around the time it came out. My desktop was that much!

 

[MooneyDriver78]

My 5s was $99, but of course I signed the 2 yr contract

 

[FastEddieB]

16gb 5s now "free" with a 2-year contract.

I'm not into the retro large phone trend, still have my 4S, shy of apple making a phone that size I'll just keep my 4S, browses the net, checks email, calendar, and phone works just as well as my girls huge 6s.

I went with a 6+, and web surfing is one place it clearly excels over the smaller sizes.

 

[SkyDog58]

Does this mean that my iPhone 4 is obsolete, passe or just old like me?

 

[James331]

I went with a 6+, and web surfing is one place it clearly excels over the smaller sizes.

And my iPad mini is even better for surfing than the 6+

Just wait the iPhone 8 will be the same size as a full size iPad, it'll even probably come with a free case.


Apples bringin' the bag phone back

Silly cirrus owners... Thinks everything needs a parachute now

It's definitely nice having the larger screen. I also use it as a backup to the iPad in the plane in case the iPad dies. I usually upgrade every other cycle. It's worth it to me despite knowing that the main upgrades are usually processor speed and a better camera.

I use an HTC Radar 4g from T-mo. Windoze Phone ver. 7. Sales were so slow on it that they paid me to buy it. Not like "The phone is free with a 2 year contact but we're not dropping your price after two years" free, either. T Mo was the first major US carrier to widely unbundle the phone from the service plan. This phone was $150 and I got a $200 rebate for buying it; with a service plan cheaper than A/S/V.

Coming up on 4 years old, I just replaced the battery (voiding the warranty to do so). It can take pictures, surf the web, text, tweet, and oh yeah, make telephone calls.

Suffice it to say, I've never waited on line at the Apple store. And I don't find their fanbois cute.
