So far it has just about everything that has been predicted for months.

I am quite liking what I see for the watch so far, but want to see what strava and maybe even garmin apps do on it.

I was just about to post about the whooping and clapping, I guess they have borrowed the Oprah audience.

Maybe it's because there are a lot of 6s around but they are the most likely to have a broken screen out of all the phones that get placed on my counter. The queue of people waiting to get new screens fitted at the Apple store may confirm this.
I'd like the option of a thicker phone with a ginormous battery and upgradeable storage. A 64 gb card for my galaxy cost me £13. I have no idea how much a 64 iphone costs over a 16 but I bet it's a fortune. And I'd like a back button.

Unless they come with rubber bands there is no way that those ear buds would stay put in my ears

What ridiculous price do you think Apple will charge for those earpods?

Not feeling the probability to update my existing bluetooth headphones to any of those offerings.

Looks alright, won't be upgrading as I've got a 6s that cost enough.

I've got a 6S. Yay. And now they're coming out with another one. Yay.

Just give me a phone that phone that phones, and that isn't susceptible to water damage because I breathe too heavy. That's all I ask.

One of the highlights is a touch sensitive home button that vibrates, Surprising my android phone (meizu M3)does this too and cost £77 as opposed to £719 for the IPhone 7,

Works iPhone 6 also has the unresponsive screen previously mentioned and apparently its a known fault that Apple wont admit too.

Apple are taking the P155.

What's more concerning is the amount of news this phone has generated in recent weeks/days. WTF is going on in the world?

I'm off to buy a £30 Nokia.

Agreed, was tempted to get a 64gb 7, but they don't exist. 32gb too small 128gb too spendy

well I was sitting on the fence, would of easily justified it but with a base model being £719 thats just too damn pricey for what is so little of a change, especially when my 6 works just fine and doesnt have any issues at all.

I just had my 64gb 6s Plus replaced at the Apple store this morning, was contemplating flogging it and replacing it with a 7. Then I saw what it offered. No chance. The prices are insane. Plus, in a cloud storage and streaming world, who really needs 256gb on a phone? I struggle to fill half of my 64gb..

Millions of Apple fanboys waiting for the MacBook Pro to be updated and Apple offer them this.

Would anyone with a 6 or 6s spend their own money for the minor benefits offered by the 7?

Think they are losing their touch!

Yes, they will. In their droves. There will be people camping outside the shops for days before they arrive.

The 128GB iPhone 7 is the same price as my 128GB iPhone 6S was at this time last year. So while it is an undeniably expensive phone it's no more expensive than it was.

Would anyone with a 6 or 6s spend their own money for the minor benefits offered by the 7?

Not with next year being the tenth anniversary of the original iPhone and this clearly being a minor update, got to assume that they're holding back a bigger update for 12 months time. Also the technology is beginning to stabilise so a 2 or possibly 3 year ownership cycle isn't likely to see you missing anything too major.

I'm hoping there are going to be some price drops on the 128 Gb 6S

It's not my money so I'll be getting a 128gb 7 and handing my 128gb 6 to my wife so she can put it through the washing machine or leave it on the roof of the car etc etc.

I have been a fairly regular iPhone upgrader usually the "s" version lately.

Won't be upgrading this year. Not sure what the fuss is about the earbuds. It's not like it's the only Bluetooth headset available...

Yeah, right enough.

So the 6S+ has dropped in price by £20.

Those prices are steep! Makes my SE look good value. Which it isn't really when you look at the alternatives out there.

Guess I won't be buying another iPhone if this is the way they're going: expensive and behind the opposition.
