I've really loved having a $1K iPhone with 128GB of storage under AT&T's Next program. After 12 months with the iPhone 6+, the swap to the 6S+ was quick and easy.
Now in September we can trade up again to the 7+.
Can't wait to try that camera and perhaps the Apple wireless earbuds which might accompany the jack-less phone.
I like my PowerBeats Wireless2's but that cord against my neck is a bit of an irritation.
I really hope these rumors about the headphone jack are false. I use my headphone jack more than I use my phone's ability to make calls (but I'd also be sorry if they got rid of that feature).
What a hideous phone. I have an iPhone 6 plus. I thought MAYBE they would change the design for the better. Boy, am I mistaken. Whoever is lead design for Apple, I hope you get fired. Because NO ONE will line up for such a horrendous looking phone. I mean... WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH THOSE UGLY ANTENNA BANDS? REALLY?! Where did the innovation go with Apple? Steve is literally rolling in his grave. Look what they did to his vision. Such a shame and a mess.
Actually, this is just a rumor website, and if you keep reading you'll see that a lot of rumors end up not being true. So maybe we don't have to fire anybody just yet.

Congratulations! You managed to pack every single troll meme into a single post!
In future though, wait until you've seen the phone for real instead of shooting your bolt over an alleged schematic.
The copy keeps referencing the smart connector port. Just not seeing the smart connector (3 dots like on an iPad) anywhere in the schematic, are they talking about the lightening connector port? In the photo of the alleged hardware, those three dots look more like Chinese writing that could be mistaken as 3 dots.
If you zoom in via this post on the web vs the app it's better pronounced as dots toward the back above the Lightning port.
Okay, I get why it might be a good idea for a plus-sized iPhone to have a Smart Connector.
But what I don't get is why, on all of these "leaked" photos and documents, the Smart Connector is located on the back of the phone and not on an edge like it is with an iPad?
The change in position prevents you from using the same charging stands, custom keyboards, and other accessories manufacturers might have developed that could have supported (sic) both products.
Something like this...
Because people don't use keyboards with smartphones? That's a niche product at best.
but people DO use docks with smartphones. and for those who have an array of ipads and iphones in the house - it would be handy to have a few smart-connector docks in fixed locations around the house that you could dock any of the devices (similar to having lightning cables dotted around the house for charging). having an iphone dock AND an ipad dock screams design-fail to me.

Stop the trolling. That horrendous design broke all time selling record of any smartphone in this planet.
Thanks, but no thanks. I've only ever had iPhones, but my next phone is going to be an Android. No headphone jack, no sale. Sick and tired of companies solving problems no one has.
So instead of having one quality DAC in the phone (which you still must have unless you also ditch internal speakers), now every headphone manufacturer is going to have a cheap shitty DAC in the headphones and the headphones are going to drain the phone battery (because headphone manufacturers don't care as much as phone manufacturer about the battery) and you can't charge your phone and listen to music at the same time.
All that so that music industry can prevent you from hypothetically recording the streaming music from Spotify and others.

That's all I want.
Well, I wouldn't mind a tidied up version of iOS– not more features. Also, more work on the finer points in Maps.
