Could this be it? Is this the Touch ID solution for the new phone? Was this purposely held or granted later so it would be closer to an actual reveal? I love Touch ID but the physical button needs to go. It would be great if they developed a new way of doing it that put them years ahead of the competition. 

Here's to hoping. 

Note that OLED displays should be thinner than LCD due to removal of the backlight substrate. Yet it appears that the 7s is .1mm thicker... could you be right?

Haven't seen it yet. Is Game of Thrones that good?

IMDb has GoT rated 9.5/10 over 1.2m reviews... I love it. My wife doesn't care for it primarily due to some scenes that demean women...

Jaime's charge was epic. A shield wall doesn't fare well against a cavalry charge supported by a 75' aerial napalm thrower...

I plan to get this tablet as a replacement for my old iPad 3. It's really time for a upgrade and this looks like the one to get.

Same here. Ordered one yesterday. I have an iPad 2 I bought within a month of it coming out, over 6 years ago if I am not mistaking. Needless to say, the upgrade is due. Tablets are extremely useful in college.

You two have held onto your iPads a long time. Out of curiosity, how old are your iPhones and/or Macs, by comparison.

PS: People say that the dropping iPad sales mean the product is a dud, but your comment reflect what I mostly see—people love their iPads but the iPad is also so well designed that it remains incredibly useful much longer than the typical handheld CE product. 

I have been running with an iPad Air since release. Got my wife a 12.9" iPad Pro last year - she was on an iPad2... I WILL be getting (or ordering) the new 12.9" tomorrow (payday). Hopefully, she won't start slobbering on it as a $2k hit is a bit much...

We both have the iPhone 7+ via the AT&T Next program (annually upgrading since the 4). This year may be the first time we do not upgrade our phones.

Also, I have the 2011 17" MBP - and good luck getting me to part with it. My wife sold her Dell 17" laptop when she got the 12.9" iPad Pro. And to finish it off, I have the Series 2 42mm Apple Watch - gave her my original 42mm when I bought it (she loves it - hadn't been wearing watches for decades).

For sleep tracking and smart alarm i use simply an app called "sleep cycle". I didn't believe in it but curiosity won me over. 
Its running on the phone which you place next to your bed  what can I say? It just works. Even connects to my huelighta for waking up. And never figured out how the hell they made it to identify deep sleep and other phases. 

And no, not affiliated to the makers. 

Pretty sure I know how AutoSleep handles it - it specifically asks if you're using WatchOS 3 as it has more accurate movement tracking. By this it can figure out when you go to sleep and how 'active' that sleep is... also just a very satisfied customer.

@Watto_cobra S0 for me was also morning or evening...and S2 is alternating every 2.5 days, but full charge of at least an hour.

You don't need to wait for that. (note: just a satisfied customer) The apps HeartWatch and AutoSleep include Apple Watch apps. I use these to check my heartrate at any point (with much better history display than the Apple app) and AutoSleep tells me how long I've slept and the quality of that sleep (using the watch accelerometer to detect when I've gone to sleep so I don't have to do anything). With my old series 1 watch, I charged in either mornings or evenings so I could sleep with it. With this new 42mm series 2, I only have to charge every 2.5 days... Note: Just finished my Dr. checkup. At the point where my only options are to go on to insulin or completely change my lifestyle with exercise and dropping most the carbs. I still think I'll get 1.5 days out of my S2 (S1 was 1.5 days with no exercise). i do NOT want to go on to insulin.
