Who's SKIPPING the iPhone 7 and waiting for the 10TH ANNIVERSARY next year?

It's not cheap even with the carriers subsidy.

I love having DUAL SIM cards with my OnePlus 3 (waiting for the Gold) so I'm in no rush selling my iPhone SE.

Besides a Spec bump, removing the Antenna Lines and 3.5MM, Apple seemed like they didn't bother with it and focusing on next years 10th Anniversary iPhone 8.

So who's skipping and waiting?

I've had every iteration of the iPhone from original to 6S and for the first time I might skip....I don't have a remotely compelling reason to get the 7. Hopefully Apple can convince me between now and September.

Is it iphone 6SE or iphone 7 that is coming on september 2016 or both will come out at the same time?

My iphone 6 still in good condition so I can wait till iphone 8.

next year will probably be the iPhone 7s anyways. So in 2018, that's when we expect the iPhone 8 to come out.

10 years already? I remember going to the Apple Store at Walden Galleria in Buffalo to pick up the 1st iPhone (4gb) Bought for $300 and sold it a year later in ebay for $325.

Been using a Blackberry since.. been thinking on going back to an iPhone; the 10 year anniversary version my prompt me to do so.

I'll wait to see what this new iphone brings. If it is a "6SE" then I will wait.

My iPhone 6 is still going good but the battery is getting weak. I'll take it in for warranty or pay the cost to use it an extra year.

I think im done with Apple. Went on a rant prior to their elimination of the headphone jack earlier.

A dual sim phone is number one on my list.

I purchased an iPhone 3 when it launched in Canada, a week later I was back on my BlackBerry and I haven't switched since

However, since BlackBerry is abandoning its OS, I have to consider my next phone. I like Android and I have several Nexus tablets. I also have a few iPads that the kids use. Not a fan of iOS

But in this case, I need something reliable and I'm leaning towards an iPhone. Not sure if it will be next year or the year after, but my current Classic is still in great shape

Who knows, maybe Chen will wake up and continue making BlackBerries

I'm waiting for the iPhone 50th Anniversary Edition. I'm expecting a hologram or it's a deal breaker.

I wouldn't be surprised sort of wish they would copy Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 design.

Rumors are floating that they're going back to Aluminum and Glass, Water Resistant, as well as Wireless Charging for the 10th Anniversary. All the features of the Note.

I'm not holding my breath for microSD or storage to be 64GB out of the box.

It's sad that these are the features they're holding off on. LOL

I'm skipping this year for next year iteration too. Helps that Rogers gave me a good deal for note 7.

It's supposed to be 7 this year, next year they'll do 7S or something, they don't jump one number anymore from year to year unless they decide to just jump to iPhone 10 next year for marketing purposes.

$200 credit off phone plus $200 trade in. So $159 after credits.
