Hi All,

 

Not much chatter on here regarding the new iPhone all rumours point towards a 'S' type upgrade again this year.

 

I am interested in the following, and will be upgrading as this is in my resign window with Vodafone.

 

- Dual camera for the plus

 

- Possibility of 3 models (could be annoying as this could see a premium for the features I want)

 

- No headphone port (hoping they will supply a lightning to 3.5mm adaptor with the phone but not holding my breath)

 

- More water-proof, (will Apple admit they are working towards this?)

 

- 256gb version (don't need or want this but moving the teirs could make the 128gb cheaper, again knowing apple they may go 32, 64, 256 just to annoy us all)

 

I have to admit I am not "excited" to be upgrading and will only be doing so as with the rebate + resale of my 6S+ it is virtually no cost, however I will be getting in to work at 5am to watch the announcement!

So in theory this is a good idea to deal with the headphone jack.

However, although I am not a product designer wouldn't this have been better if it was the shape of an aa battery?

I'm intrigued to see what the announcement is tomorrow.

 

I've had every iPhone on the major 'number change' releases (i.e. none of the S versions) and am due to change this year. I like to move them along whilst they still fetch reasonable prices second hand. (last time my 5 sold for enough to cover the non-subsidised balance of the 6+).

 

This time is  the first time I have not really been feeling that the iPhone is the obvious choice. I may try a Note 7 instead for a year (never had an Android phone) and see what they come up with for the 10th anniversary.

The coworker who signed for my phone at work this morning was talking to the courier, he had 3 to deliver and that they were sent with security guards from Auckland last night (to Napier)
