iPhone 7

Anyone else going to snag a new iPhone 7? If so, which model/color are you going to get and why?

I personally am upgrading my 6 to a 7+ in Matte Black to take advantage of the bigger screen size and better camera features.

I'd prefer a blackphone........

the water resistant part makes it attractive it only took them forever and samsung is probably a better phone overall but the iphone is just more elegant. going for the 6 piano black.

I like the size of the smaller iPhone; it's almost perfect for me. Don't need a bigger display than what it has.

But, I refuse to buy the overpriced turds manufacturers are selling. 800 bucks for a damn cell phone? No, thanks.

I'll wait and see what the contract prices are. My 6 is up for renewal at the end of the month. If there's barely any difference between 6S and 7 I'll go 7. Having said that I'm not prepared to pay through the nose for one when its not really much different to the 6 I have.

Contract pricing for me on Verizon is $419 for the 7+ 128GB...I think I may go for the Apple Upgrade Program though in order to take advantage of Apple Care +, and a new phone each year ($41/mo). The other benefit is that since its unlocked, Verizon will drop the $40 access fee down to $15. This effectively makes the phone $26/mo

The 6 is a bit large for my taste.....it can be a challenge to text one handed while speeding and swerving with large screen phones

Good luck. That's IF they fixed all the BS that was going on when they introduced the upgrade program.

So size doesn't matter? We're so confused.

Size does matter. In my case, I don't like it too big because I have small hands. I like to have a good grip on it and also fit it in my pocket.

Also, I have perfect eyesight and don't need those big-ass screens.

Hmm... looks like I'm eligible for an upgrade as of yesterday. My 6 is still working fine so I'll probably wait until after the hype dies and pick up a regular sized 7.

Neither. They are interchangeably known as iSheep or iLemmings ... that said, as much as I don't really like Apple and generally avoid their products, I have to admit that from a purely BMW perspective, the integration is nice. I have moved to using an iPod tethered to my Android phone for in car entertainment. That's more of an indictment of BMW than it is praise for Apple.
