iPhone 7 | OT | Pre-order Sept 9, Available Sept 16

I'm assuming my chances of going to Verizon on the 16th and getting one are slim to nil, huh
I have a note 7 that I plan to return for the 7 plus, but in order to preorder, I have to return my phone, and I'd be phoneless.

From the Apple site regarding the iPhone Upgrade Program

Beginning September 9, you’ll be able to make a reservation online to upgrade at the Apple Store.
On the day of your appointment, just bring your current iPhone with you and check in with a Specialist to complete the upgrade process.
* Your final eligibility, including amount owed, will be validated when you
upgrade in the store.

How does this work if it's most likely going to sell out at midnight?

on apple's upgrade program. may just go with black 256GB. jet black sounds interesting, but too worried about micro abrasions or fingerprints.

watch 2 is close.. if I knew I could unload my stainless steel watch for a good price I would consider it.

what did Apple say about the headphone jack during the presentation? How did they spin it?

We have the presentation on TV at work and I was walking by not really paying attention and saw the graphic up showing the lightning to 3.5mm dongle with the crowd cheering haha.
 
Yeah, I was just figuring that out.

Always interested in what the network providers tariff prices are.
a 128 Plus with a reasonable amount of data is gonna sting.
Yeah, 16GB was £619, 64 was £699 and 128 was £789. Now it's £719, £819 and £919.

This is the first time I have seen a bump like this since brexit.

Looks nice but I want to save until the next iPhone... So 64gig SE for $449 or refurnished 64 gig 6S plus for $559?

Obviously I missed this in the announcement thread but FFS Apple 32GB? What a joke. Especially when it goes 32 > 128 > 256.

I will most likely grudgingly hold onto my 6 as long as possible. I'm not sure when my upgrade is, and I'm pretty happy with my 6 as it is, don't feel really compelled to upgrade.

I think I might wait for the total redesign that is coming next year for the 10 year anniversary of the iphone.

How many phones come with more than 32gb base storage?

Is the apple upgrade program/installment plan something I can sign up for during preorder process, or do I need to wait for it?

An over £100 price jump in the UK? Fuck that - I'm not buying any Brexit nonsense over this, either.

It's far too much of an increase for that.

Man, I thought I'd opt for the plus this upgrade but nah. That thing is still too big lol. Standard size it is. Matte Black.

You can sign up during pre-order. The steps work now on their site, they just won't let you continue to place the order yet.

I'm just curious what time I need to pre-order.
 
Hm. The smudginess of the jet black is annoying, but I felt with the same thing on the iPhone 4 and it still was the best looking iPhone.

Thinking 256 GB 7 Plus jet black.

As nice as having a fully waterproof AW and a water resistant, *all black* iPhone would be, I'm holding out for an OLED iPhone and my current AW works fine for the gym atm. Might get a new watch band, though.

I'm still annoyed by the lack of a headphone jack, but I'm willing to forgive it for everything else they've upgraded.

The iPhone Pro camera. God damn.
 
Surprising thing about the AirPods is the seeming lack of skip/pause controls.

That battery life improvement, though. Everything to do with big.LITTLE and nothing to do with removing the headphone jack but it's still a delightful improvement.
