my main :tinfoil: is that they're working on a 3D display. they have that parallax effect in iOS 7, "3D" touch, dual camera patents, purchase of PrimeSense, and now rumours that they're making a custom OLED display right now.

It's something that existed years ago on a competitor, but wasn't popular. Sounds just like Apple's style.

making things razor thin is a really clever strategy for apple. its something hard that you cant copy by throwing cheap chinese resources at it. you have to sit down and do some honest goddamn engineering

There will eventually be a flexible phone that will bend and flex back, that would be a coup for Apple.

the only thing i kinda question is only having 1 gig of RAM, i think apple would rather have a consistent user experience (at least for hardware) and that feature would've been out for a year at the time of release anyway

the e stands for 'Ehh gently caress the RAM' as the 6s and 6s Plus have 2 GB RAM

its like apple is saying 'oh all right you loving whiners here's your 4 inch phone back too bad its half the RAM and a generation behind the newest we got but what do you expect for 4 inches'

its like the iPad mini 1st generation all over again (lol A5 and 512 MB RAM, good luck cramming iOS9+ or whatever into that)

The eu scores another point for consumer rights by forcing apple to make better tools to transfer data from iOS to Android.

lol. the 256mb of ram or w/e in the 4s was its biggest problem. especially after they added ios7 which is a giant slow turd that destroys all your ram

i do enjoy that the discussion has shifted from the device's possible existence to its specs

everyone has just tacitly accepted that apple leaks are now all true, and i'm glad of it

the iphone 7 will have no headphone jack

apple needs someone who can tell jony to shut the gently caress up when he shits out things like the camera bump and those thick lines on the back of the 6/s/+ and also the big scren size and really everything iphone 6/s/+

they own actually. they own so much the biggest android makers went mad and put both things into their phones to make it look like an iphone
