3D Touch looks unnecessary and so does Live Photos and pretty much all the other poo poo they showed. Except the 4K video. That looks rad and I look forward to getting to use that (or an improved version of that) on my iPhone 7.

Let them get as much mileage as possible off their one 'hit' song.

Well, you are never going to sell the phone, so unlocked is only useful if you switch carriers pretty often.

Yeah, that is true enough..

Unless I missed something it didn't say unlocked it said "any carrier" and "starting at" I doubt Apple is getting in the financing business, I think they are just taking more control over the 12 month financing programs that all the carriers already offer.

This was their breakout song:

The Weeknd from the Apple Music launch was definitely a way edgier music selection though.

OneRepublic is kind of U2 safe.

Someone do the math on that upgrade program to see if it's worth it.

For a 16gb iPhone:

Program: $32 x 12 months = $384 for one year, $384 x 2 years = $768 for two years, two phones.
Without program: $650 + $99 = $750 for two years, on one phone.
Without program, selling minor scratched phone: $650 + $99 - $233 (Glyde price for a iPhone 5s) = $517 for two years, on one phone.
Without program, selling minor scratched phone, selling twice $650 + $99 - $395 (Glyde price for a iPhone 6) = $355, $355 x 2 = $710 for two years, two phones.

I missed that part, it's an Apple thing? I figure this would be handled by your phone carrier and Apple was only talking about the United States, in which case it is going to be a nightmare.

I wonder what happens if you go on the Upgrade Plan but then decide you don't want to upgrade after a year.

How good is the iPhone about uploading content to the cloud? 16GB shouldn't be that big of a deal if you just have everything upload to a server. I dunno, that's how i've been doing it for years.

For me it is the apps that have ultimately made my work 16GB unwieldy, but it's partly because I've been app hoarding. I use it for music frequently and podcasts once in a while and that's never a problem.
