Fast charging should have been designed into the iPhone 7. It seems it will be available in the autumn with the new phones. It's one of the little big features that make mobile life better. Definitely a plus of the best kind.

Can't see it ever being of use to me. The 7 Plus lasts all day and then some, and the 8 will be even better. I've never once charged the 7 Plus except docking it at night.

Right now I get 2 LTE unlimited lines on Tmobile. $100.  Which INCLUDES tax/fees. Where I live that's almost $20 a month.

This AT&T plan will cost $170 after taxes/fees. I'm saving $70 a month.

Am I the only one who likes the home button and what rather keep it? It's what makes a iPhone a iPhone!!! What, so you want it to look like many Android phones? I like the real (Well now kind of fake) button that does a number of things, then taking up screen space for a home button.

A physical button is the only thing that can help one orient the device in the dark or without looking. If the location of the camera lens, power plug, speakers or microphone didn't matter, then the physical home button wouldn't matter.

I'm confused by all this. I just don't understand the idea of launching a 7S and iPhone 8 at the same time. Can someone smarter then me please explain the rationale? 

Upsell. Do modest upgrades to the existing line to make everyone want the new shiny object (which just happens to be the most expensive). Question is does Apple keep the 7 and 7 Plus in addition to a 7S and 7S Plus and an 8 (or whatever they call it)? And keep the SE as well? That's a pretty big iPhone line. I lik3d it when things were simple and it was easier to know what model to buy. These days it's a lot harder because it's no longer just pick a screen size and storage option. These days it seems like Apple designs models that exist purely to get you to buy something more expensive. I mean what's the point of the MBP escape other than to get you to spend more for the touch bar version? I wish there was someone in the marketing department that could bring Apple back to simplicity.

I dont understand why people like you are against having more choices.

In the old days it made sense, since there was a cost benefit to Apple for having fewer models. When Apple was only selling 50 million phones a year, it made sense to have a small lineup.

But these days Apple is making 200+ million iPhones a year, so having more models is no big deal. Also Apple needs to cater to a much bigger market. In the good ole days Apple didn't even concern itself with China. Now China is the 2nd biggest country. 

I don't see how having a SE, 7, 7s, and iPhoneX line would be confusing. Its a big purchase so I appreciate having options.
