That black color is pretty sleek. Better than the new glossy black IMHO.

I actually prefer the jet black. But everyone is different whether they like glossy finishes or not.

I just got my first pair of Bluetooth earbuds last month, and they are great. I now only used wired earbuds in the car while on a phone call (or if the wireless earbuds are charging).

The lack of a headphone jack is making me think about buying a 6 or 6s now. It's not practical to have to choose between using headphone or charging the phone.

BTW, can you use Bluetooth and the ear things throughout a flight? I'm asking since Bluetooth seems to be transmitting and I would think it could be forbidden, especially on some airlines. Does airplane mode disable Bluetooth? Sorry for the stupid question.

Have Gen One watch. Nothing except 'water resistance' is a true and real upgrade IMO. No reason to upgrade unless you really plan to swim with your watch.

I'm sure I read both the earbuds and the adapter come with a through connector.

The AirPods are not "Bluetooth".

Yes, yes there is - neither of which are Space Gray or anything close to it.

I prefer the aesthetic of a silver/gray back with a black front - which is no longer an option. I personally think that no longer having that option sucks. YMMV.

The waterproofing and the better camera and obviously a speedier phone and better battery life.

And I also like the feeling of a new iPhone which is one of my odd simple pleasures.

Count me in...will get the 7, most likely in the piano black.

As for the lack of headphone jack, that's a good thing. Fewer cables is a good thing.

In seriousness, I'm not an iPhone guy but I don't see the big deal about losing the headphone jack. Then again I've been using bluetooth headphones exclusively for ~5 years now.
