I guess it's funny. It's not like a person that says they don't like what they've heard (today) can't immediately change their minds st the keynote or later.
People are stating their opinions based on what's been leaked. These aren't set in stone decisions people are making.
I'm exactly in that position. If Apple surprises me I'm happy to admit I was wrong. As of this moment I have very little desire to dump money into this year's upgrade. The Apple Watch rumors have me far more excited.
If the 7 Plus has a loudspeaker as good as the 6 Plus, does indeed have 3GB of RAM, the camera smokes the 6S Plus and the home button is non-mechanical then sign me up. That sounds like a great upgrade.
Will probably need it as the picture files and camera processing will be much larger.
iphone 7 camera is not going to smoke the 6s. People say the s7 camera smokes the 6s camera, but an unbiased "green" review shows otherwise.
Look to be exact same specs as S7 camera, which would make sense given earlier rumours that Sony is supplying Apple with their latest sensors (which are also in the S7, and is a very good thing, though this might be an updated version as Sony is always making minor improvements)
Apple will modify image processing however, on the software side, which is where any of the discernible differences will be present
The S7 has an incredible camera, so if the 7 is at the very least the same, then dedicated iPhone users are going to love it....its extremely fast as focusing and snapping pics, and takes great shots in the dark.
As far as general specs go...If you're coming from an iPhone 6 (as most people with 2 year contracts will be), this phone is going to be a big spec upgrade...but if you're coming from a 6s it won't be
Eager to see the A10 stripped down...

I agree there's nothing wrong with the 750p screen; its still very good and an excellent screen but its disappointing since this phone is going to have premium pricing...we spend most of our time looking at phone screens, so they should have some level of priority and this would mean Apple has essentially the same resolution as the 2014 iPhone 6 which is a bit sad, considering this is the same company that blew away the competition in 2010 with the Retina display.
If you use a sharper display for any extended period of time, you can easily see the difference. I hear many Apple-only centric fans look at other manufacturers and say who needs 2k....until they get a 2k display (in a hypothetical future iphone) and realize what the fuss was all about.
There are also Apple only centric fans who know what the fuss is about, and are understandably a bit let down that the 2016 phone will likely have the same resolution as their 2014 flagship iPhones did....doesn't it kinda lessen the impact of an upgrade to an extent? I would be a bit bummed, admittedly.
Consider: the iPhone 4 internally was more or less the same power as the iPhone 3GS, yet it felt like a completely different experience due to the screen. I still remember opening up that box and seeing the Retina display for the first time...wow. I didn't think a phone screen could ever be improved.
I said the same thing first time I looked at the S7 screen...its only fair for other Apple-only fans to experience the same feeling. I'm not even planning to get the iPhone 7 and I feel a bit let down seeing these screen specs. They can only tinker with the colour gamut and brightness so many times before its as good as it gets at that resolution, using that screen technology.

The iPhone has never had better specs, but in real world use they are much better devices, at least in my opinion.
Yet the edge has worse battery life than the plus for one. A bigger plus battery will mean it will easily have a better battery life
I actually manages to have confirmation about the 2gb of ram of the 6s by contacting someone on apple's website chat right before the pre orders.
Yea man the last two plus models batteries have been nice. With its significant increase in size again it's most likely gonna easily outlast the competition. This plus model is gonna leave everyone in the dust
Nope, sorry. They don't know anything.
That was a (rare) CSR who happened to be following news/rumors and gave you a safe bet. They don't know anything before anyone else does.

It's not surprising that they would do the same after tear downs and bench marking tests have been made official.
However, I find it more than highly unlikely that some random European carrier has been given insider specs. Not Apple's style.
You don't have good near sight vision! I can easy tell the difference even at 10" away! Video is do telling the differences between the two!
Apple is still trying to be cheap and depend on marketing and promotional power to defend it's old 2011 iPhone 4 screen resolution and many non technological users sight "Retina" - an Apple word that is invented by Apple marketing to deflect its 720i screen resolution as being as good as a 4K screen and not necessary. LOL!

Per
Perhaps, generally speaking. I was not assuming anything based on battery capacity alone. I had the 6s Plus for several months on Verizon network and battery life was dismal. My new Edge battery life span lasts a whole lot longer - even on Tmobile network. Perhaps it's less/more depending on which network you are on.
On a side note, I still use my now old Droid Maxx (original). It also outlasted my previous 6s Plus.
