Not to me.

Even if the ip8 were to come with reduced bezels and no home button...it would still be too big for me.
I think it would be too big as well; I haven't owned a 6 Plus but I have a 6 and love the size. However, I ink anything bigger would be uncomfortable to use one handed and just in general.
I still think it would be interesting to see though.

The 4.7" display with reduced bezels and no home button would hit the sweet spot for me.

Any wider than that and I have the tendency to not reach the backspace key reliably. As it is now, I'm finding that many times I'm hitting the letters instead of the backspace.

I sincerely hope they fix all the battery issues with the iPhone 7. I am so not going to miss seeing my battery drop 80% of it's charge as soon as I pull it off the charger.

The battery life on my iPhone 6 Plus has been good but is now starting to drop from 100% quickly usually within 10-20 minutes of taking off charge and using the internet or listening to Apple Music. i'm looking forward to the iPhone 7, even if it is only a minor update, to those of us who still have a 6 or 6 Plus it will probably be a big update.
[doublepost=1464864727][/doublepost]Looks like Apple have decided to discontinue the 16GB model and start with 32GB instead as standard, i'm wondering if they are going to add a 256GB to the lineup will it be, 32,128 and 256 OR 32, 64, 128 and 256, that would add another storage making 4 options instead of 3.

If true, I'm gonna guess that the storage lineup will be 32/128/256 with no more 64. Back with the 6/Plus, they doubled the 32 to 64, and the 64 to 128, but the 16 remained the same. This was, in my opinion, to make the upsell to the next storage tier more appetizing.

So the base model right now is 16 GB, and for $100 more, you get an additional 48GB. If they were to up the base model to 32 but keep the 64, the jump would decrease to only 32GB difference. By eliminating the 64, there is a large difference between the 32 and 128, which makes the upsell even more appetizing.

Of course, they *could* keep the 64 as a $50 increase instead of the $100. It's possible, but I don't see it happening sadly.

If anything starting with 32gb is progress at least

Like the thought of 256gb but bet that will cost a bomb

That's a good point, personally i would be torn between the 128GB and 256GB option, but mainly because i have Apple Music subscription and download a lot of songs to keep on my iPhone incase I'm not in an area with internet. I also take a lot of photo's (at the moment i have over 400 on my iPhone 6 Plus) and with the 7 being able to shoot in 4K video and probably still support live photo's I'm assuming the file size will be larger. Also the fact that i'm planning on getting the 7 Plus with dual camera (if it's real and makes it to the new iPhone that is) which i'm also guessing would increase the file size of photo's yet again. So my dilemma will be between 128 and 256GB.

Guess I would be going for a 128gb version. 32GB might be too little after having 64gb for the past 2 phones.

I imagine the price points will remain unchanged--especially if the rumors of less-than-substantial upgrades hold true.
Doubt Apple care if people don't think it's a great upgrade not enough to lower costs

Can't see 256GB being same price as 128GB if that's what you mean

In that leak that was posted, the prices of the 7 and 7 Plus were the same as the 6S and 6S Plus now, with double the storage on each model, so 256GB will probably be the same as 128GB is now.

It should be 32, 64,128. 256 is much enough

iPhone 7 cases have been released by Oppomart even though the smartphone is yet to launch.

For you, you mean.

My current 128gb is full. I'd appreciate 256gb in lieu of Apple not giving me expandable storage.
256 is enough for an average users.for me that will be a waste of $$ for extra empty storage
