I live in Bum gently caress nowheresville Canada. I just order my iPhones the night they go on the Apple Store app and they arrive in a week from China.

You should be able to pre-order to an apple store and pick it up launch day or the next day. You'll have an appointment time and probably be in and out in 20 minutes.

Khablam posted:I said 'other options might be cheaper' : There's nothing stopping you from selling the handset; it's not locked. You're still responsible for the payments until you pay back the 0% loan you used to buy the phone though. You can also cancel the AppleCare for a refund if you want (although the person you responded to said they wanted it); it just means you can't do the 1-year upgrade and only have a 2-year 0% loan to buy the phone.

nervana posted:I assume carrier shops require you to buy a plan though right? We don't live in the States so this isn't an option. I'll tell her it should be no problem to buy one within a couple days of release at the Apple Store (right?) No hour long waits? Carriers won't sell you a phone without a service plan, they have no inventive to do that. Who knows what demand will be. The iPhone 6 was huge demand and sales wise, and this is the cycle most of those customers will start to be eligible. But it depends on how excited people get for whatever the iPhone 7 ends up be8ing. Personally, I saw a lot of people hold out for an extra year or more to get the iPhone 6 (bigger phone) vs the iPhone 5 and 5S. It wouldn't surprise me if that happens this year and then whatever is next year's phone is the big seller.

I know this isn't really a huge dealbreaker but I've had my iPhone 6 since launch and enjoyed sending Animated Gifs to my friends once in a while. Recently, after the newest update, I can no longer save animated gifs to my phone properly. I know the entire deal of "The image won't animate while in camera roll" which I deal with, so that's not it. To double check myself I've sent a friend an old animated gif I knew I successfully saved and sent in the past, and tried to do it again by saving the exact same gif off a brand new google search.. and to my dismay the image from google no longer saves as an animated gif on my phone. The old one I had saved and sent months past still works correctly in iMessage. Have any of you guys encountered this? Edit: Seems like the culprit was, specifically, the latest Chrome update. Dunno what to say about that since it's my main browser. Any workarounds? Jet Ready Go fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Sep 5, 2016 |

The workaround is Safari. Safari on iOS is amazing.

I only open Safari if some app I use doesn't let me switch the default to Chrome, or if I need to save a GIF. The smarter workaround is to just use Gboard and search for GIFs inside your Messages app.

Safari definitely feels lightweight and snappier on both macOS and iOS, but I prefer Google's set of features. I like on iOS I have a drop-down menu to search in the page (instead of doing it from the URL bar), I like it's tab manager better, I like swiping across the task bar to go back and forth between tabs, I like pull down to refresh or open a new tab or close the tab. Safari lacks all of these features that make use of the touch screen and swipe gestures. Which is perplexing as gently caress because it's made by the same people who make the loving phone and OS. Google seems to have a better grasp on how to make a browser feel like it was designed for the OS than Apple does. On the Mac, the one crucial feature that Chrome has over Safari is warning you before you cmd-q quit the whole app. It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while I go to close a tab and hit Q instead of W and Chrome saves me from the hassle of reopening/loading 30 tabs for work. Bless you, Chrome.

Anywhere I can go to put money on next year's 10th anniversary one being renamed "Apple Phone" like with the watch? As for tomorrow's announcement, despite all the talk about how the next phone is rumoured to have just removed some stuff and not added anything new, I'm still looking forward to watching the press conference.

I think the only thing I'm looking forward to is finding out which rumors were real leaks and which were bullshit. I might even use the opportunity to swap my 6s for a 6s+ if the sales/price drops present a good opportunity.

I suspect the announcement will pivot really hard to talking about the camera/video features and distract with millennial lifestyle porn.

Endless Mike posted:There's been some others bouncing around (including a blue color), but those are the from the best source. And that's not including any iOS 10 changes that haven't been revealed. I wouldn't say it's as minor as people have been harping, but I also don't see myself upgrading from my 6S. Of that list:
So the changes for a user are:
I can see why people are considering it a minor bump, compared to the regular 2 year cycle Apple has been working to. Obviously there's a lot of implementation effort going into making each of those happen, but none of them are game-changers.

I find it hard to believe that apple would put different amounts of ram in the phone depending on screen size. 90% of the complaints regarding the iphone 7 looking like the 6S are nothing more than apple fanboys getting upset that people in the street won't be able to immediately tell from a distance that they are using the latest iphone.

Since I really don't want a Plus, looks like I might be skipping out on this generation unless the camera gets a huge improvement on the regular human-sized model. Although it might be a good opportunity for me to upgrade from a 6 to a 6S. Was there much of a camera bump between those two?

Everyone enjoys a re-design, and Apple has been giving us one every two years. So I can understand why people might be blah about that. Or it could be that 6 might be the worst looking iPhone? It is a step backward from the 4 and the 5 in design (but I do like the bigger screen). If someone was that concerned, just get one of the new colors. All subjective, but drat the 4 was a work of art. I will be going from the 6S 64gb to the 7+. Given how I use my phone I am looking forward to giving the larger screen a spin. My only debate is memory size. I believe I can get away with 32gb since I store all my photos online using the Flickr app, and I use Apple Music for streaming. Still it has been nice to have a 64gb.

The 4 is the best looking iPhone and the SE is much nicer than the 6 models.

Imagine a return to the 5/5s design with the flat sides and chamfered edges, except much thinner and with fewer seams. It'd be glorious.

Camera in the 6s/s+ is so so good.
