I just want a better battery life and a better graphics chip for all my games.

The better camera and stuff is already a given. I'm excited for the 7 even if I have to ditch all my wired headphones.

If history is any indication what price is the 6s likely to be by tomorrow night (or whenever the drop goes into effect)? If it's the last iPhone with a 3.5mm jack my guess is "exactly the same".

I ask because my current phone's screen is broken and the 6s is more than enough phone for me but both it and he SE are ridiculously overpriced for what I would give up.

It should drop by $100 if you wait a bit you'll start to see better deals though through retailers.

Does the Apple Watch hold music on it

Could you do a Spotify offline playlist on your Apple Watch to go running?

It does but I'm not sure about that. You can pair your BT headphones to it though and listen to the stored music.

The fact that you can't charge and listen at the same time seems to be the worst part of lightning headphones.

Lightning y cable coming soon from some cheap Chinese company

If it's waterproof rated that's how.

I mean I've never dropped my phone in water but I guess it could be nice to not have to worry as much about it. I'm going to London in like November and being able to take pictures in the rain would be pretty cool.

5 hours of music playback?
No thanks.

Lightning headphones are fine.

I don't think you've taken a look at the battery life on most BT headsets 5 hours is about the right range.

Do you still have to go into the store to do the apple upgrade program or can you do it all online at this point?

So how exactly does pre-ordering work if signing up for the apple upgrade program on t-mobile? I tried chatting with someone on apple.com but they had the courage to be clueless.

The apple upgrade site says in store only. Does that mean:
pre-order in apple store, pickup in store?
pre-order online, pickup in store?
pre-order in store, pickup in store?
No pre-order possible?

I am net new to the program if that makes a difference.

Yeah I'd like to know as well. Their site is beyond useless.

I'm very sure you have to go in store to finalize stuff but I think you can do mostly everything online. Who the gently caress knows though because I can't find the exact process.

Honestly at this point I'm upgrading every year. All I want is the phone to be faster, have a better camera, and have better battery life. I used to carry a camera with me when I traveled but since I haven't had to do that for years now and I actually like being able to travel lighter and take quick pictures.

The Apple case also funnels the speaker and mic onto the front of the case and there's no guarantee those will line up properly, either.

Oh son of a bitch I hadn't thought of this till you said this but since the new phone has speakers at the top and the bottom what the gently caress is Saddle Brown leather case going to look like?

EDIT: Lol so I guess the case is just going to block the speaker? They don't show any pictures of the top but it doesn't look like there are any holes there.

I honestly want to see data as to how often this happens. I'm willing to bet 90% of the people so upset about this rarely ever actually charge and listen at the same time. I don't care what anyones opinion is about being stupid or whatever, I just want to see the data. I am again, willing to bet that this is nowhere near as big of a deal as 90% of people think.

Yeah I agree. I honestly can't think of the last time I needed to charge my phone and listen to stuff. Maybe on a coast to coast flight but even then I don't think I needed to charge my phone.

I can't decide between jet black and matte black :psyduck:

Yeah same here. I mean they are both gonna look great in the saddle brown case but with the decrease in screen replacement cost I may just go caseless and live on the edge.

Mine'll be here on the 16th. Why are y'all so excited though? This one seems to be kind of a boring upgrade. I did mine just because I have the sprint iphone forever plan. Am I missing something other than it's a bit faster and the battery may not suck as much? Not a troll, I just wondered what the hubbub was.
