iPhone 7 Launch - Plans?

[DinoF]

Thought it would be fun to create a launch thread,for your iPhone 7 plans!!!

My iPhone 6, 2 year contract with O2, naturally comes to an end this September - just in time for the iPhone 7 launch.  Lets hope the 7 doesn't come with yet another 2 year contract?!!!!

So what are your plans - where will you be getting yours?!!

I'm not sure I'll be queuing up for the 7 this time around - far easier to order online!  I remember queuing up for the iPhone 4!! I posted my story on the old O2 forums (probably in some deep dark basement cellar by now!) but essentially, I queued up at the Apple Store in Bromley, where they were handing out cakes, coffees and all sort of stuff to people waiting!   Weirdly though, I'd struck up a friendship with some random poster on the forums, and we arranged to meet up and go together - good job he didn't turn out to be an axe murderer or something!!!!

To be fair tho, if Samsung stuck a 720p screen on an S7 it would go like a missile,....

...strangely tho, tech reviewers would pan it... For being such low resolution in 2016 (check ANY android 1080p flagship review from this year) Strange that kind of favortism, always made me wonder.

Never used an iPhone...Never will. One son is an iFanboy.....but I have always wondered if someone left him under a gooseberry bush...

Ooh, I've wanted to give one of those a go @Anonymous, nice choice. I've used Android and Apple and do find Apple navigation generally easier; The most important thing in a device for me. I will however pick a Sony tablet over the next iPad

Mate, some top prices on tablet Z3 compact atm. For what it is, it's a steal and much more portable than the 10" ones.

I've had one for a month or do and it's very capable for its size (teehee)
Got as much power as Z3 phone and is really robust for its size.
If looking for smaller than 10" but still want top features (hi res. DSEE HX, PS4 Remote play, noise cancelling.. Etc etc) you won't get better.

@Anonymous I'm thinking of getting my next phone off line and going on a sim only deal. You can save so much money that way and dont have to be tied into a long contract.

I have a Z2 10" tablet coming soon which is pretty good value for the money....I am expecting good things from it anyway....

[viridis]

You won't be disappointed, z2 tablet had so many features added to it in lollipop update it's like a different machine.
Had one of those for a few weeks now too.. 😉 It's really good.

You defintely can. Plus if you want to get next years model, you can get most of your money back from your old iPhone when you sell it, which leaves only a small amount of money to put till, as iPhone's really hold their value, especially if you keep them in mint condition.
