Yea but to new honest, most people's use their phones more than any other electronic device they have.
Well I still have a flat screen from 2007. So spending a little on a TV is not bad over time. A lot of phones go to shyt after 2 years. So spending that same money on something that's gonna die in 2-3 years doesn't make much sense to me.

Then again my Sony is 2 years old now and going hella strong so who knows.

I listed my 128GB model online for sale. If I can get at least $550 for it I'll sell it and cop a 7 or whatever they're calling the next model. I'm still not really wanting the Plus model though. I'm also cool keeping my 6s if it comes down to it. I'll be rocking this Note7 exclusively for the next several weeks so the downtime wouldn't hurt.

If I can get the $550 then I'll be facing probably a $300 upgrade price for the top tier normal sized model.

man I can't even get the regular earpods to stay in my ears. how the fukk are these supposed to stay in???
The only difference being when these fall out of your ear while your on a run or on the go, it can easily fallout of your ear and roll into the sewer somewhere. Since we all know these will likely cost like $100-$150, it will be a quick way to lose alot of money.

Plus battery life will be shyt on these things as well.

I'm sure it will have some sort of cord like other wireless earbuds

- New A10 chip from TSMC that could top out at 2.4-2.45 GHz, although Apple may clock it a bit lower due to heat and power consumption concerns.

- Storage capacities of 32 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB on both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 Plus will include 3 GB of DRAM to support the dual-lens camera, while the iPhone 7 will continue to include 2 GB.

- Five color options including the usual silver, gold, and rose gold, along with a "dark black" replacing the usual Space Gray. A new fifth color Kuo describes as glossy "piano black" will also be offered. A photo of SIM trays in those five colors surfaced earlier this week.

We expect the iPhone 7 to come in piano black, dark black, rose gold, gold and silver. Only the piano black model will have a glossy finish. Given high production barriers, large-storage models may have first priority in adopting piano black casing in the initial stage.- Improved IPX7 water resistance matching that of the original Apple Watch and making the device suitable for splashes, showering, and even brief dips in water up to one meter deep.

- No headphone jack, with Apple providing both Lightning EarPods and a Lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter in the box. Removal of the headphone jack will allow for an upgraded speaker and a new sensor for improved Force Touch.

- Earpiece receiver to become a speaker with the addition of a new audio amplifier. Rather than putting a second speaker at the bottom in place of the headphone jack, Apple is said to be upgrading the earpiece receiver at the top of the device to become a full speaker. The change would provide enough separation to allow for stereo sound when the device is held in landscape orientation.

- Pressure-sensitive click-less home button to benefit water resistance. New haptics to mimic a clicking sensation when the button is pressed will be included.

- Wide color displays in the same sizes and resolutions as the current iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. The wide color technology adopted from the 9.7-inch iPad Pro will offer better color quality.

- Dual-lens rear camera on the iPhone 7 Plus, which will increase Apple's costs by about $40 and could make the iPhone 7 Plus more expensive than the iPhone 6s Plus. Both lenses will be 12-megapixel, but one will be a wide-angle camera with larger pixel sizes, a 6P lens, and optical image stabilization, while the second will be a telephoto lens with smaller pixel sizes and a 5P lens.

- Upgraded rear camera flash with four LEDs (two cool and two warm) and a new ambient light sensor for better image quality.

- Possible upgraded proximity sensor shifting from LED to laser for faster response and greater recognition distance, as well as potential gesture recognition.

- FeliCa NFC support in models sold in Japan, as had been previously rumored for either the iPhone 7 or the 2017 iPhone.

Overall, Kuo believes iPhone 7 shipments will be below that of the iPhone 6s through the end of the year, coming in at 60-65 million compared to 82 million last year. Kuo reports that Apple's water resistance requirements resulted in low assembly yields that pushed back the start of mass production until the second half of August.

From the sound of it if you prefer the normal sized iPhone and have a 6s there's not really any reason to get this new one. If you plan to go to the Plus sized model then there's at least a few reasons to upgrade. I tried getting the iPhone 6s Plus and the phone is just too big for my taste. It isn't like the Note7 that is a larger phone but makes the most of it's size it's just sloppy big.

I feel like all the people who spent money on the Beats Headphones should be tight but anyone else needs to step up.. I hate wires and I don't undersatnd how anybody with a job doesn't rock with some bluetooth earbuds at this point..

Untangling wires :scust:

Who wants to remember to re-charge another device!?!

Re-chargeing stuff :scust:
