Out of that list, the waterproofing is the only one that really stands out. The rest are minor, iterative improvements. We're used to Apple making larger leaps on even years (4,5,6) then iterative improvements in odd years (4S, 5S, 6S). But this year they broke that - the 7 feels more like an iPhone 6SS than a 7. Yes, it's better, but it's not "full price for a new phone" better.
- matwood 10y ago> We're used to Apple making larger leaps I think what people mean when they say this is they are used to Apple redesigning the outside of the phone every 2 years. I just do not see that as necessary. Unfortunately, many people care more about the superficial it looks different instead of the real improvements which it had many.
- kalleboo 10y agoWell in the past the "redesigning the outside of the phone every 2 years" also meant higher res/bigger screens which was a very clear improvement.
- dan1234 10y agoAside from better battery life (better as in 3+ days of use) I can't think of much I'd want in a phone that isn't already there. Camera, display, speed etc are all fine for my needs.
- untog 10y agoI agree - which is why I, and many others, don't see the need to upgrade. That's the problem Apple is facing.
- dan1234 10y agoYeah, still rocking the iPhone 6 here. I'd quite like the 3D touch that's on newer models, but not enough to pay for a new phone. Will likely stay with this until the battery drops off or it otherwise stops working. Previously had 3G,3GS,4,5 so this is the longest I've a particular model. Is the same stagnation in Android land too? I wonder how manufacturers will handle it in the long run?
