Getting 7s Plus instead of 8

[TripleOne]

Exactly! Too bad I’m not dropping $1000+ this year because I just got my 7 on Black Friday and it’s being paid for by Verizon each month. Gotta hang onto it for another year to get the benefits of that!

That’s totally cool
The iPhone 7 is still a very powerful device.

Definitely, this is the first time in a long time I’m keeping a phone beyond a year. It’s not difficult since the phones run properly and look brand new with the Speck Presidio Grip and Belkin Glass I have installed.

I read an article yesterday that said the phones we've been calling the 7s and 7s Plus are actually the 8 and 8 Plus. The one we've been calling the 8 is going to be called iPhone Edition.

I saw the same article and I’m not at all surprised if that’s what the product names truly end up being. The iPhone Edition title is smart marketing on Apple’s part. If they’re going to charge an unprecedented amount for a smartphone they’ll need to market it as a special edition device designed for top tier users. I just hope Apple is reasonable and learned its lesson from the Apple Watch Edition. Nobody wants an $18,000 gold plated iPhone.

It’s about time for Apple to get rid of those bezels

Absolutely. I’m okay with a little bit of bezel though. The near-bezelless (that’s a word now) design that has been shown in recent leaks is perfect IMO.

I wouldn’t be too sure about that........Somebody somewhere would indeed buy it! I’m sure of it...

Oh I wish I had so much money that I didn’t know what to do with it.

They’d sell a few but definitely not at the scale Apple wants, hence the Apple Watch Edition that never got any updates after the first gen was released.

Oh yeah, no doubt about it.

I disagree. Having had 3 plus size models now since the 6. I could never see myself going back to a smaller screen.

It makes the smaller iPhone looks like a fisherprice toy.

Agreed!

7s and 7s+ with Sept Pre-Order. Special Edition/8/Pro or whatever will be available in November. IMO

I think they are all going to launch at the same time.

Agreed. I think the “Edition” model will be in short supply though.

That’s good to hear!

Yeap!
I’m sure that within the next 2-3 years we’ll be seeing a bezelless iPhone.

Perhaps, but not if it interferes with user experience by making our devices impossible to hold without messing with things. At least not from Apple.

Correct

I bet I could preorder the anniversary edition of the iPhone and not have to worry about getting it until next spring.

 

[camaroz1985]

The Edition name is silly to me. What edition? Limited, 10th anniversary, ?????

I would like it to be called Pro, but I don't think the name is going to make people buy it or not.

Obviously you are missing the whole point. I am referring to phone size and not screen size. I said that I will be getting the iPhone 8 or whatever it is called over the 7S Plus because the is too big for having a 5.5" screen. Now being the iPhone 8 is supposed to have a 5.8' screen, it is the 7S Plus that will have the smaller screen. It will be a bigger phone with a smaller screen...The iPhone 8 will make the Plus look like a fisherprice toy...SMH

Not necessarily. Total screen size, yes. But many rumors say the "iPhone 8" screen will have a usable functioning "app" screen of around 5.15", with a total screen size of 5.8". We'll find out next week. Got these from an app developer.

That looks REALLY GOOD!

So does this. Most likely closer to the real deal.
