I remember the launch... 3 devices in one. iPod, camera and phone. It's true that this one device does it all. The interface was what changed everything in the phone and made using it easy. Just tap. I'm still on ATT because of the first iPhone. I'm with Sam on the bigger screen.

Why the hell did they get rid of the phone jack?
Make it water proof. Think they got tired of replacing phones that were accidentally dropped in the toilet every time they release a new model. Also kind of cool to shoot a video in the pool... I'm waiting for the next one though.

Hahahah iSheep.... make it waterproof..right. As I'm holding a perfectly fine Xperia in my hand that is waterproof and has a jack. And also SD card slot.


They got rid of things to continue with the same old force buying crap they've subjected all the followers for years and years.

I mean come on...they give you wireless earbuds....only to then sell you cords to not lose them and keep them together... so why the heck not just stay with the wired earbuds??

Keep believing iSheep...

Courage.

Lol, that's what Fred's boy Tim Cook said.

I sprung for the 7 about 6 weeks ago. I don't miss it but I've been using a toof for years.

I still think Steve Jobs was onto something with a smaller handset. I hope the next one maintains the larger screen with a smaller body. Bezels should be gone. I really prefer a 1 handed device. I think the home button will be gone too, leaving the potential to get small again.

Wires and the need for ports galore are going away.

Watch, all the other flagship phones will FOLLOW suit.

My Powerbeats 3 get 12 hours of continuous battery life and charge an hour in 5 minutes.

But I'm a sheep...

:lol: :lol: :lol: it's also funny how the iHerd gets the most defensive over their stuff..

And also funny how you don't hear anyone else refer to their phone by name like iPhone-ers. :lol:

I'm not upset. I've never directed any animosity toward Android. I used the Galaxy series for years with US Cellular. They are great devices, I just prefer the iPhone (sorry to type the word).

I think it's slightly more complicated than a huge company taking advantage of millions of sheep.

Wires suck and I can wait until they are a thing of the past.

The Pixel was a pretty compelling choice when I bought the iPhone 7.

No one got defensive but you. Don't worry, your phone should have all the features from the iPhone 6 copied just about the time the iPhone 8 is released. :hopeless: Is that funny? :icon_razz: No. All these phones are amazing and the differences are so small that it doesn't make too much difference...unless you get an exploding battery model. Apple users do pay more for Apple products...because they are just better. :very_drunk:

People FREAKED OUT about the single port on the new 12" retina MacBook too.

I think it's positively simple and all I need. The mobile processor is efficient and runs COOL without any fan.

The W1 chip is a real improvement for Bluetooth, which Apple developed.

None of it is perfect. It's just hard to listen to people talk about how horrible it all is and how there isn't any innovation.

My wife's 3 year old MacBook Air still works great and she loves it. I tried to talk her into a newer model. It wouldn't work so the Kid got a new one :headbang:.

Hold it next to my new MacBook and there is clear innovation and forward thinking happening. It's 2 pounds and the same size as the iPad of 4 years ago.

I got six pens and a pad of paper for my birthday from my daughter.

If not for having this business I wouldn't have a cell or internet. Genny is another story. Her oldest son wants nothing to do with it neither.
