    The splash of colour, to me, signals wide color gamut displays on the new MacBooks Pro.
    Totally agree. It make sense since the capability is in the new iPhones already.

    The image in the Apple logo is a nebula.
    Um, you can actually see the powder. Doesn't look like any nebula I've ever seen. Looks totally like exploding colorful powder.

    The more important question: what's up with that smoky, deep pink, partially obscured Apple?
    The Apple isn't deep pink or smoky. The pink (and orange and yellow), look more like powder (as others have mentioned). Actually, the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture was the Mythbusters' "Painting with Explosives" episode.

    Expensive car and and still have to pay for Carplay ? Thought, suppose to be standard feature.
    BMW à la cartes you for practically everything. This is no surprise. They've been charging $250 for "smartphone integration" for years.

    I don't really care what name they give it. I'm excited for the upgrade. Improved internals, camera and iOS 10, yes please! Especially now, with the iPhone upgrade program & carrier upgrade options, there really is no reason not to. I currently have the 6 Plus and will upgrading my phone on launch day along with my wife's 6S Plus. 
    With the options now I guess I can understand some people upgrading every year but what's there to be excited about. To me a better camera and next gen processor are just a given that you get in every new phone every year. Not something to really get excited about. The camera on my 6S is good enough so unless iOS 10 is a complete dog on my phone I'll most likely be keeping it.

    Sprint just reported a record low device upgrade rate for this past quarter. I think people aren't upgrading their phones as often because there's no really good reason to do so. The phones now are good enough and fast enough for what most people use them for.
    My iPhone 6 is going to be 2 years old, and my wife's iPhone 5, well you get the picture. I'll be upgrading regardless of what it's called, because invariably, it will be an improvement.
