It's insanely easy to change bands. They really nailed that aspect. There's just a little button you hold in on the watch near each end of the band and you slide it out.

Apple files patent for camera hidden behind display
Basically they want to integrate the front facing camera and the home button into the actual screen.

Sorry. I've been on AT&T for all of my iPhone purchases, so that's the carrier I have experience with. Hopefully someone around here who has gone through purchasing a T-Mobile phone can shed some light on how exactly it works.

I don't know if this a known thing but piano black apparently is 128 or 256 only. At least here in Canada.
That would be pretty great.
Yeah, I don't really understand how the hell that could work?
But it would be pretty cool if it did.
I asked T-Mobile about this today and they told me all the colors were available in all sizes. Didn't sound right to me, but idk. I'm not really up to date on everything.

- You have to stay with them for two years.
- Phone needs to be paid off completely.

Yup. This makes the next year's upgrade more difficult and costly.
I'm ditching t-mobile's Jump on Demand and going with the Apple upgrade program to ensure I get predictable yearly upgrades with no runaround.
I just bought a refurb iPhone SE from Best Buy but at those prices it's a no brainer for me to return it. I usually keep my phones for at least 2 years
From the patent it looks like you wouldn't even be able to see a camera was there. It would just exist behind the screen?
And the speaker would clearly be up top.
I also wonder how full screen phones will work for cases. Hard to protect a phone screen when you can't have something pressing in from the front
Anyone see any good 7plus cases that are actually shipping?
Spigen usually has ones I like, but they don't ship until october.
For anybody going threw T-mobile. Preorders Start tomorrow in store and online. If you have jump make sure 50% of your phone is paid off before hand. If have Jump on demand make sure your phone is in good condition,(ie Cracks, water Damage). Have any questions feel free to ask.

It's possible there won't be a speaker hole.

Do you know the process? I want to do the same thing, a smoother upgrade process and apple care is too enticing.
If u have jump you can jump your 7 or 7 Plus to next years model.

BB has a 35 dollar restocking fee on phone returns now I believe
Never opened it actually so shouldn't be an issue...I hope
I'm not doing jump again.

Does Apples 14 day return policy apply to the upgrade program?

I'm selling my current 6s and 6s+ locally and paying off the JoD balance once I get the new iPhone 7+s.
With T-Mobile I believe I'm kind of fucked for the preorder. I know I will not be able to enroll in the Upgrade program until I go into an Apple store. This means I will likely miss initial shipment because T-Mobile vs Apple fuckery.
I will go in to an Apple store tomorrow to see if I can preorder. If they won't let me I will have to show up on release day and see what happens.
I'm curious if they are going to go with an S upgrade for the next iPhone. All the OLED, edge to edge stuff seems like a full jump to an 8.
I do feel like the 7 could've fallen under an S cycle since the design is largely the same. The feature bumps are great but nothing mind blowing. We usually end up getting a better camera, some sort of little upgrades here and there. I'm just thankful for the iPhone upgrade program because whenever that new one comes out, I'm there.

Yes. But remember the activation fee on a network will only be refunded in 3 days for at&t. Not sure about others.
Pay the difference off your current phone then just go to apple.
Thx for that.
I'm ok w this for my wife's phone. She doesn't upgrade like I do.
Just going to use my regular JoD upgrade for mine.

It's fine. I actually think its too damn thin. I keep feeling like it's going to slip out of my hand when I use it without a case.
Also the new phones are going up for preorders tonight at midnight PST right?
Ooh I haven't seen that one.

This was an official communication from a cell company, so it seems legit.
The also be hedging against future drops. Apple don't update prices until events like this so any exchange rate being used will have to carry them through until next year for iPhone
It is insane through. Now I know what it feels like to be Canadian
i can't help but feel like everyone waiting for next year's iPhone to be an edge-to-edge-curved-OLED-screen-with-everything-behind-the-display unicorn of a phone just because it's the iPhone's 10th birthday is going to be super disappointed when they release an iPhone 7S.
sure, the iPhone 7 looks pretty similar to the 6 and 6S, but i don't think this is going to be some sort of stopgap generation. Apple's so supply chain focussed, no way they're only going to be using this shell and those internals and the new home button construction just for 1 year.
(it's mostly the fact that they changed the home button in a meaningful way THIS gen, that i don't believe they're going to remove it altogether next gen)
if the iPhone 8 is the be-all-end-all iPhone iteration i'm gonna take the 1-year jump, i guess, but i have serious doubts that these rumors are anywhere close to true.
gonna pre-order my 128 gig matte black tomorrow. i have NO idea yet whether it's gonna be a regular sized or a plus. i mostly take pics of my cats, so i REALLY think i should opt for the smaller model, for ergonomic and cost reasons... but that bokeh.
and i can't wait to read some beatsX reviews. those sound like amazing casual-but-also-sports headphones.

You have to be on a postpaid plan with one of the major carriers. I have no idea why, other than Apple always wants to treat prepaid users like second class citizens.

Yeah I think it's always dangerous to take the "I'll wait for next year's" approach because it could lead to you always waiting.
If the iPhone 2017 is some crazy revolutionary device then one could argue to wait until the next year until they iron out all the kinks.
When it's time to preorder on apple's site, make a reservation and select your phones. You go in during your appointment and get it done then. That's how it was last year.
They don't check accounts or anything like that when you make your reservation, so you can sell your phones right before your appointment. I'd make sure everything is cool when it comes to the Apple upgrade plan beforehand though.

All I know is that the next iPhone is either going to be the most amazing device ever or the most disappointing one.
Cheap discounted stainless steel. Love mine and cost about the same as a new sport
If that isn't an option then the black - I find the silver aluminium doesn't look great. All subjective though - try and see them in the flesh
yeah, remember when this was rumored to be the iPhone 5
unless we see component leaks, those rumors will be nothing but rumors.
space grey goes great for business but also casual look, and it does a good job of hiding the huge bezels of the display. mine's yet to show any sign of wear (if you're afraid the black aluminum scratches easily).

At the very least it seems likely that the next iPhone will have an OLED screen.

I agree with you mostly, however, in the last few years iPhone rumors/leaks have become increasingly more reliable
