We've all heard about how they've struggled to get enough of the OLED panels for the 5.8" iPhone. So how were they supposed to release a bigger version at the same time? Supply would be even worse and people would complain even more.
I've been a loyal Apple customer and had the 6, 6S and recently sold the 7. But I am not tolerating the things they are (supposedly) going to do. How is our problem they struggled to get enough OLEDs? Rumors say they were making massive OLED orders since April 2016. It's their problem. Samsung didn't release Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and S8 with infinity display only and price at $999 base. This is just greed.
Also how come is everyone else happy about FaceID? I am a programmer myself and I certainly don't need to see how will they pull it off, cuz I know most of the ways that it can be done and in the end it's not practical. Nice to have - yes, but not practical.
Remember last year? They removed the headphone jack, physical home button and "swipe to unlock", and called it "press home to unlock". This year what ? Removing the home button entirely (which was one of iPhones iconic things) and "press home to unlock" will be changed AGAIN to "do whatever to unlock". Well, it's stupid at least based from the rumors. Anyway I can try and live with it, but releasing 3 MODELS is the most greedy and stupid thing they could do.
That will be 4 years in a row with the same design. Also, if they are going to entirely in future release the OLED versions of this year's "special edition" phone, what's the point of keeping people used to the home button and touchid? Robbery and greed. They simply have too many parts they wanna get rid off by selling it to dumb people. That's how I see it, and people should not get offended by my post.
Think about this.
iPhone 6 and 6+ - new design and bigger displays along with some internal improvements which come every year anyway like the cpu, gpu, camera and touchId v2.0
iPhone 6S - "the only thing that's changed is everything" - same design, internal changes only and the new color to make people think it's different.
iPhone 7 - antennas design a bit changed, but overall the same phone (that's why they even put the back of the phone as a picture on the box, cuz otherwise people would still see it as the same damn phone)
So...they can't simply pull off the same trick they did with the 6S to justify the same phone for 4th year in a row. People would be upset and angry. Many people on the forums somehow defend Apple by saying: "hey the 7S is going to be the cheaper model if you can't afford the new one"
Really? Would you be happy and satisfied if back in 2014 when they released the iPhone 6, instead of what they released to us (the 6 and 6+) to be models like these: iPhone 6 (same phone as the SE but with camera and cpu as the iPhone 6), and iPhone Pro (the iPhone 6). And to put prices of the so called 6 $649, and on the Pro $999. And next year (2015) to release the iPhone 6S and 6S+ ?
I hope you get what I am saying. Peace.

You had to return the iPhone 6 six times?
Yeah. It was full of defects. The vibrator motor was totally making weird noises as if it wasn't assembled correctly. The bottom speaker was distorted 3 times in a row, when I put the sound of the ringtone to full volume you could hear it distorting and i even remember some Apple fanboys just told me: "well why would you want to go full volume sound anyways, just stick it to 80% if it works well". Look at those people. Cuz I am paying for a device not only $649, but a lot more where I live, so I expect the newest and supposedly greatest phone to be able to play full volume tracks without problems lol. Another problem it had was clicky bottom right part (near the home button) when you press it it was clicking like a button.
With the iPhone 6S, I had the camera displacement on the front side, battery was defective and was dying at 30% out of nowhere and I had to do force-restart in order to get the phone back working.
With the iPhone 7 I only returned it twice and it had problems with yellow screen on the bottom and the OIS module was trembling and refocusing everytime which made my videos look like jitter, and even the iPhone 6S was making better videos WITHOUT OIS. So...that's basically it.
