If the headphone jack isn't an issue for you then you may as well go 7. Better battery in the 4.7" model than the 6s, faster, etc.

Looks like the iPhone 8 will give people actual reasons to upgrade. Wireless charging, AR/VR capabilities, edge-to-edge display, etc. I know most of that tech is established by now, but Apple always seems to take something and put their particular spin on it. That's where the fun is. AirPods are nothing spectacular, but the fact that they pre-pair with your phone and watch and iPad is really cool. They also seem to keep a solid connection with the watch when listening to local content, whereas other Bluetooth buds would constantly get static or skips or whatever.

Take a toothpick and scrape the inside of the lightning port. It might be because of lint and dust buildup.
You should find a guy you can go to to fix your phone. Your life becomes a lot easier once you don't have to get a new phone or agonize any time there's a small defect in your phone.

I agree with this. Got my battery replace don't and it's working fine now. Can still hold out 7 months or so for the new iPhone
Best 45$ I ever spent

Had the 5c for 3-4 years, it was time for an upgrade. I've had good luck with my phones and get a number of years of use out of them before upgrading. The charging issue was just a reason to finally do it. Still gonna hang on to it as an "iPod" to keep the toddler busy watching YouTube around the house, so I'll try cleaning out the charging port and seeing if that helps any.
Got the iPhone 7 Plus last Friday. My hands are still adjusting but I'm in love with this phone.

Lots of rumors out there that Apple and Amazon finally buried the hatchet and Amazon Video will finally be available on AppleTV in late summer/early fall. Awesome!

I was planning on waiting a bit before upgrading my laptop. I have a first gen 2012 15" rMBP. Still working really well, but showing it's age a bit. I saw that they added the 2016 15" Touchbar MBPs to the refurbished section.
Bought one of them (lowest end model with the AMD graphics).
Wow. The machine is fantastic. I love the new Space Gray color. The Touchbar is actually fantastic and I use it all the time, already. It makes switching apps simple, it makes adjusting sound/light/etc. simple, etc. Just a great addition.
I was planning on trying it out for 14 days and returning it if I didn't like it, but I am sold. Will be selling my 15" rMBP any day, now. Brand new battery, trackpad/keyboard, screen, and motherboard. So almost an entirely new machine. If anyone is interested before I eBay it, let me know.

I feel like production numbers maybe low, that combined with this anticipated launch is going to make them hard to get. I will be preordering for sure on launch night.

All Apple TV needs now is Vudu.
If they can get a deal with Vudu, it'll be the best box on the planet.

The event on June 5th will announce a new iPad, the Amazon deal, Apple's answer to the Echo (Siri Speaker?), and all new OS's including iOS 11. Not bad.

Dude really? It sounded completely shady from the start and you still went ahead with it. And this happened before and you didn't learn your lesson? That pretty ****ed up to do to your mother. Stop being cheap and get her a ****ing phone the right way.
It's not fraud but it's still a form of blackmail and still illegal. He'd waste more money in small claims court than it's worth and he didn't even get this shady persons information.

Apple has been granted their patent for Touch ID in the screen. Not sure if it'll be done in time for the 8, but a huge start.
The screen of my IPhone 6 just cracked out of nowhere. It's a hot day out but my phone didn't get as warm as it does when doing other things. Probably gonna go to store tomorrow to check with them what I can do, but any expectations based on experiences you guys might have had? Phone is less than a year old so I'm pretty sure I still have some level of warranty.

Never heard of this, you may want to check Apple's forums. How do they distinguish between what you're saying and it being dropped? Worst case replacement screen is $100.00
It's one perfect crack from top left to about a third way down on the right. There's no way there would be just one crack if I dropped it.

Did you check Apple's forums and see it ever happened to someone else? I'm interested in what the Apple store is going to do.. I'm not expert on screen cracks but I think I've seen just about every variation. I've just never seen or heard of it happening other than a drop.
Went to the store today. Guy said that it was clear the crack wasn't from impact and that since I still had warranty, they just fixed it.
