You're garbage.

Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

No but really did they change anything? I didn't bother looking at the announcement.

I think they are trying to introduce new innovations but removing headphone jack was dense, since now you cant walk in  the store and buy pair of headphones. Although, I see what they are trying to do to compete with s7 edge and have waterproof functionality. I tried using iphone 6s, then I used s7 edge  but in terms of speed and ability to perform many tasks s7 edge gets an A+.  Also, I use my phone for other things like storing work related videos, music, files and emails. Having ability to expand your memory up to 200GB without paying additional cost like iphone is fantastic.  Comparing iphone 7 to s7 edge, with samsung you are just getting more in terms for hardware specification and functionality. I am not really impressed with  new iphone seems like the same iphone 6 but in different case.

I think the only reason I'm impressed with the iPhone 7 is because i'm still on the iPhone 5 which is about to hit 4 years old in like a week or two. So any phone looks pretty good to me haha. But I saw that it comes with a 3.5mm jack to lightning connector adapter so you can just get headphones from the store and plug them in

We're all PC gamers here. Get an andriod.

If you can install mods and get ArmA working, you can damn sure use the phone platform that gives you the freedom to do what you want, when you want, how you want, instead of some locked-down piece of garbage.

Amen, CPT. Well said.

I fucking hate Iphones. Proprietary software is shit and non upgradeable, non serviceable devices are stupid.

I have a piece of diagnostics software called Torque Pro. Works on any OBD2 compatible car, costs $4.95 AUD and works with a bluetooth adapter that cost $15 AUD. To purchase the equivalent proprietary device (Automotive scan tool) costs $5000 - $15000 depending on brand and capability. And none of the ones in that price range can utilise google maps to perform live data logging on your local race track. Or highway. Or your mother in law's back lawn if you so wish. I can monitor any of the sensors on the vehicle, I can scan and reset fault codes, it even has a search facility to tell you what the fault codes mean and how to diagnose and fix it.

Apple aint got anything close. The nearest they come is with Engine Link. Less than a 10th of the ability for double the price.

I haven't used an android since the original Motorola Droid.  That thing was a POS.  At the time it was the only smartphone offered by Verizon outside of Blackberry so that was my only option.   

My iPhone 4s lasted 3 years and I haven't looked back since.  That was the best phone I ever owned hands down.  The hardware and software make iPhones extremely long lasting rather than it dying from software or hardware issues after 8 months (*cough* android/moto *cough). 

For me I don't require much outside of what the iPhone provides.  I'm sure a lot has improved on android so I am curious about switching back if I could to see what all of the hype is about.  Fortunately my work pays for my phone so I am not able to switch unless the company decides to make the move -- until then my hands are tied.  With that being said I have no complaints about the iPhone with my limited, old person needs.  Since I was due for an upgrade at work, the new iPhone 7 will be in my hands by Monday. 

At least I have a beast gaming rig -- so I have that going for me, which is nice.  I think most of us can agree Mac OS is the true enemy here, right?  Common ground? Maybe?

This is when we learn the sad truth that SGT Shundo has been playing Arma on a Mac all along.  :o

I got an iPhone 7. My iPhone 5 lasted 4 years and was fine. Hopefully this one lasts me at least 5 years. I don't do anything other than texting, calls, emails, and shit like weather app and small things like that. So we shall see if I like it or not.
