Could it be 2mm thicker, in order to contain a battery that would last me a weekend away please?
Yup me too. I always used my 3/3G4/4S without a cover as I preferred them a bit thinner. I use a case with my 6 as otherwise it’s too thin.
IMO iWatch will need a phone for the forseeable future, maybe forever ?
IMO the new phone will not be waterproof, just a bit more water resistant
As others have said improvements are now incremental and my 6 is going strong and battery is still fine too so no great incentive to change. I think Apple’s sales figures will continue to show less device “churn”. The 2017 is rumoured to be getting the edge fo edge glass the exploding Samsung’s have so I’d change for that (glass not exploding)
Slightly off topic I’m more interested in Macs as my Mini is 2009 and will not support Sierra so some interested in Skylark orother iMac or ideally Mini upgrades for Q4 2016 and beyond.
