The iPhone 7 will come with not one but TWO reality distortion fields! And a free copy of each Steve Jobs movie.

That reminds me, nVidia's GTX 980Ti launch noted they were explicitly targeting users of GTX580 and GTX680 GPUs, not GTX780Ti users.It doesn't matter if you bought a phone last year. It might matter if you bought one 2 years ago and it almost certainly matters if your phone is older than that. The days of people upgrading their phone every year are probably over. I bought a 6 a few months after launch for a song and about a year later I bought a used 6s+ to replace it, because it was cheap. I doubt I'll buy a 7. I might pick up the 7s (8?) next year...we'll see what it does.[...]
It's funny how, even faithful iPhone owners are wondering why bother upgrading to the iPhone 7? For Apple's sake, let's hope they have some huge surprises up their sleeves because anything short of a mind-blowing new design is going to go over like a lead balloon.
So why do we need to put ourselves through all of this? Do we really need an iPhone 7? Is there anything, at least based on the rumors, that we really need? Sure, we usually give Apple a big fuss, but think about this. Be honest with yourself. Do you really care? Really?
Because they are journalistically bankrupt?
Hey look I make decisions based on rumors! Wooooo!Cuz it ditched the ubiquitous analog headphone jack for some weird proprietary bluetooth-like wireless connection and added some RAM.
"MAGICAL AND INNOVATIVE"
It's interesting to see all the responses, and I wonder if anyone shares this sentiment; for me, Apple lost me after the iPhone 4S because I HAD to use iTunes get get music on my phone. You would think such a small factor wouldn't be a deal breaker to me but it really is. Not just music files, but being able to plug my phone into my computer and drag and drop whatever I want is a huge deal to me. I hate iTunes, and Apple making you use it to deal with your music is unacceptable when there are so many other music alternatives out there. I buy music exclusively through Amazon Music now because you get straight MP3 downloads that I can transfer to my computer and literally transfer anywhere I want.
I remember when I had the 3GS (my first iPhone) came out I loved it. It was unlike any smartphone I have ever used before, and then I got a Android phone (forget which) and came back to iPhone since the 4S was so different but I have since been using every generation of Galaxy Note. Perfect size, S-pen is awesome, and it's the most useful phone i've ever had. If Apple let you do drag-and-drop access (without jailbreaking) and gave you more control over the phone then I would entertain giving iPhone another try.

A true enthusiast of that level wouldn't be using an iPhone for music in the first place.
That all makes a ton of sense but you should be buying music from google as it has a Better bit rate (320 VS 256 at Amazon)
The iphone's amp is already better than the lossy bluetooth audio standards.The point is that moving to an all-digital connection would make the iPhone a viable quality audio source.
I have never purchased or owned a single Apple product and I never will.

Congratulations? I've never owned a Ferrari, and I never willI have never purchased or owned a single Apple product and I never will.
No he should buy CDs and rip his own music, so he can use vorbis or flac or rerip it if a new and better format comes around...plus he'd have artwork and the ability to sell an album if he decides he doesn't want it....well that and because if he bought it on Amazon, he'd also have that album on MP3 right away and he could stream it from Amazon at anytime for free.That all makes a ton of sense but you should be buying music from google as it has a Better bit rate (320 VS 256 at Amazon)
I'd actually say that's an improvementSo, without the headphone jack, that means you can no longer use selfie sticks?
that uses the headphone jack to send a volume up/down signal which takes a photo... that will no longer be possible
great job Apple

I've never understood the reasoning for paying for a file. It's just too easy to buy the CD and rip it to my server and have the option of a disk, a DAp or streaming. Flexibility
I don't think I care for it, but at least Apple isn't idiotic enough to make the AirPod running proprietary standards. (It's still BT 4.0)
Audiophile is overused. One, if you know the original recording, you can often tell the difference. MP3 simply changes the sound signature of the highs. If this was an audiophile question, you'd need an expensive system to hear the difference. You don't.Well, that's actually what I do. 99% of the time I buy and rip the disc. When I don't, I buy from google. But people buying files online probably are doing that because they don't want to hassle with discs. Not everyone is an audiophile.

Regardless, the point is that you get far more flexibility with a CD and you OWN the media. There's no revoking the license. This is the same reason why a physical copy of GTAIV is better than a copy from steam. Steam copies had music removed. PHysical copies did not.
2. The high-gloss finish of the jet black iPhone 7 is achieved through a precision nine-step anodization and polishing process. Its surface is equally as hard as other anodized Apple products; however, its high shine may show fine micro-abrasions with use. If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use one of the many cases available to protect your iPhone.
