Times ticking, so I’ve decided on the silver or white colour, this would look so cute with with a clear floral case on :3 the blush gold I’m still not 100% sold on

By the same time next month, hopefully people will have the iPhone 8 in hand
I hope to have AW3 on my wrist.
IF it comes with better battery.
Wouldn't mind a slightly smaller/thinner either. But increased battery goes way before.
So I can track sleep AND training. Of course in a better way then all other products out there.
I hope :D

As a stock holder.. REALLY happy people are ready to buy the next iPhone.

As a consumer.. the phone has become way too expensive now. I'm still excited for the keynote. But that might be the part me of that actually remembers how good they used to be.

Why not the blush gold? It's very different and very eye-catching
Just not quite the pink I like, find it a bit of a naff colour they've chosen this time a slightly tacky with the gold edges. I'm ready for a non pink iPhone now also hahah its been a while since I've had a white one

Seriously. You couldn't Google and find an android handset with 2gb ram and a 1.6ghz CPU for under £300.

The moto G5 has 4gb ram and a faster CPU for under £200. The E4 is under £100 and has similar spec to the 6s. The Oneplus 3T is half the price of the iPhone.

I'm well aware the spec sheet only tells half the story and iOS works so well because it's designed to work perfectly with the hardware.

But let's not lie and say Apple would win if the competition was strictly spec sheet based.

What many fail to realize is the growing need for more ram in Android is due to Android and processes. Sure more apps can run left in the back ground and rapid switching is allowed by the ram increase; yet why isAple able to do it on par with half or now 1/3 the ram?! Sync still seems better even to windows, and that extended warranty!! Nobody in competition comes close!

Not all android apps run on all devices having same specs. Not sure why. And the majority of Android user go crazy and sour when Android phone of their choice gets slow, slow response, features or system acting up, etc. They don't know how to troubleshoot.

I like the Moto G line and I think they're excellent value for money. However, on paper is pretty much how they beat the A9.

It's like the Intel dual-core and AMD quad-core comparisons from a few years back (probably now, too, I haven't really followed x86 CPU progress past Haswell). AMD wins multi-core benchmarks due to having more cores but regular computing, Intel feels (and is) faster because a lot of tasks are limited by single thread performance. Intel just had significantly better IPC.

The disparity in single-core performance here is between something like Intel Atom netbook and 2013 MacBook Air. Or like iPhone 5/iPad 4 and iPhone 6s.

Just hope they dont let us down now....
Well I don't expect to be let down, it will be a new design, it will have new features and the features that some say are "catch up" features, will be nice, especially if Apple does them better than the other competitors. So I don't see me being let down. I think if you expect tech that isn't quite ready yet, you may be disappointed.
