Actually, there is something new about Apple's upcoming iPhone 7
Try this context on for size. The iPhone launched in September 2015, and the first BOGO offers were in November 2015. That's 2 months in my calendar.radarthekat said:

For example, he talks about iPhone sales this year as though everything is fine. It's not. Last quarters' iPhones sales fell by 16%. No matter how it's spun, that's just not ok. Sales were expected to be flat, not significantly down. He talks as thought they were, in fact, flat. Whether we like it or not, the new features of the 6S and 6S+ weren't considered to be all that interesting by the general buying public, and that includes many iPhone owners.
The mistake that you're making here, and in some other points, is drawing the conclusion that a sales drop is primarily due to the features/innovation. You don't actually know that. Nobody knows that. In fact, if you look at the flagship smartphone market as a whole, it's unlikely that's the case. Samsung has basically resorted to 2 for 1 deals to increase S7 sales volume. That doesn't exactly show confidence from Samsung in regards to any new hardware/software features they might include vs. the iPhone.

Except that removing the female part of the headphone jack is only half a solution. It does nothing to address the other half. An adapter is not an elegant solution and I'm sure the repairs of the Lightning port will skyrocket.friedmud said:Enjoyed the whole article... but I especially thought the commentary on the headphone jack was spot on.
That part should be taken out and printed as its own article. It feels like the world has gone crazy over this whole headphone jack business... when it's really just the same incremental improvement that's always been happening in computing...

What does understanding critical analysis have to do with providing Apple some competition?brakken said:Maybe, just maybe, if all journalists provided the historical context of their ramblings, they may eventually be as insightful and as informative as Dan.
Once again, LOVE your work, Dilger!
Perhaps, one day, the goons at MS, GoogAlpha and even Ubuntu will happen across Dan's style and understand the advantage of critical analysis - tinged with sarcasm - and actually begin providing Apple with some competition... ooorrrr they could try putting the customer first and expending their own efforts in creative ways to invent solutions.
Hope springs eternal. -

Using that same sense Apple's sales were also potentially halvedtrollkiller said:Curtistech said:I own a lot of phones (iPhone 6S+, Note 5, iPhone 5S, galaxy S7 etc.) so as a consumer I can truly appreciate what each device brings to the market.
*facepalm*
Unless you are a developer, not only did you just demonstrate that you seem incapable of matching your requirements to a single device but you also demonstrated that potentially Samsung's sales figures would be halved if you ever got your act together.
That's not good news for Samsung or Android.
I also hope you have an iPhone 4 to do the things your iPhone 5s and iPhone 6s Plus can't do...
