It kind of makes sense for them to stay in a holding pattern for iPhones this year. Next year is the tenth anniversary of the iPhone and they can release the dopest one anyone's ever seen.

Or, you know, just one that's a little thinner, a little faster and with only incremental improvement to the rest of the product.

But the anniversary packaging will probably be exceptional. That might be enough for some folks.

I'm still on an iPhone 4, so I hope there'll be something nice to upgrade to.

Unfortunately, it seems like the camera wart is here to stay, so I'm still not sure if I'm willing to part with that much money for something so ugly.

Sucks that the current rumor is no wireless headphones in the box. Instead the rumor says it will be a wired lightning pair.

Not as taciturn, but still terribly powerful...



Currently on a busted up 5S with cracks and a mediocre battery. I'm mostly excited for 256GB of storage (I'm currently juggling 32GB) to janitor my mp3 collection onto the thing, being out of cell range enough that cloud based music options don't do anything for me. Not really thrilled to have to put a dongle on the end multiple pairs of headphones to listen to said music. No, I'm not going to charge my goddamn headphones all the time.

If the rumours are true and the 128GB is the middle storage size, I'm hoping that means that - if the usual trend of pricing being approximately the same as the year before holds up - then I can make a bit of a saving by sticking with 128GB and no longer paying for the most expensive model for the amount of storage I want.

I can't even imagine still using a 4 for modern apps and multi-tasking etc. Even if you just bought a 6/6S right now you'd have a huge leap.

My workaround for this is to mostly look at the front of the phone where the screen is. Can't vouch for others but it works for me! v:shobon:v

Literally anything in the iPhone lineup would be an improvement for you right now.

Siri doesn't like my accent so I pretty much never use it. About nine times out of ten when I try, it takes me so long telling it "no, change the reminder message" that I'd have been quicker just typing it up in the first place. Anything Siri-related is basically a non-existent feature for me.

I don't think it's known yet. IIRC iOS 9 got released a week or two after the iPhone announcement last year, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same deal here.

The GM seed is usually posted that day and doesn't require any provisioning to install. If you can find the .ipsw you can install it. The OTA usually comes out a few days later.

Note that there have been rare occasions when the build has changed between GM seed and OTA so you might need to reupdate.

Standardish practice has been announce on day, release 3 days before the new devices ship.

So like, announce today, phones ship on a Friday 2 weeks from now, iOS 10 releases the Wednesday prior.

The fact that you can't charge and listen at the same time seems to be the worst part of lightning headphones.

Did apple fire the highschool-level production team that flopped badly with overlapping audio and signal drop outs from three or four events ago? I hope not. It was wonderful to watch a billion dollars of R&D get reduced to the level of mic feedback and tripped over backstage cabling.

Holding out hope that the 6SS or whatever will still have a headphone jack, because it'd be hilarious and also we would then live in a world where there are news articles about a phone having a headphone jack.

And One More Thing, we're bringing back the StyleWriter so you cant print on high quality beechwood Apple paper using Jony Ive's personally chosen gamut of inks.

Its going to happen at some point, once margins start to dip.
