Iphone 7? I said Hell No...I just finished this month paying off the Iphone 6 I bought when it first came out....it is first time in my history of phones I have paid full price for the phone....I got the big 128MB memory phone too...so it was expensive....


I did though not know much about it just that the buzz was one new one was coming....I guess they announced it today and the reviewers are writing about it online...so I went and looked at the review here

I decided I like the new one 7plus but I am not able to afford a new Iphone 7plus now and mine is in great shape...I have just what I need and need nothing more than what I have....I look forward to the cost of my cell bill going down as I had my phone put on my bill at like $32+ per month for 24months...I know it will be nice to not have that extra amount on my phone bill

it always makes me laugh this kind of marketing- I mean the last great thing was supposed to be amazing...then a few weeks/months/years the next great thing is so much better...

hype.

Not to mention getting hooked into buying on credit can really cause problems down the road if you cant make the payments.

The iPhone 7 is not really a leap forward from the iPhone 6. Some people think it's limiting because they can't plug in their favorite headsets. They replaced the physical home button with a 'soft' button, leaving only the power and volume as physical buttons. It's nice for someone switching from a Samsung to an iPhone, but if you already have an iPhone, it doesn't really seem like a change.

    I recently heard a great 2007 song the other day, "Falling Slowly" because it popped up in my newsfeed, accompanied by the sad news that the  male singer, Glen Hansard, just died in a motorcycle accident.  I learned that the song won an award and was featured in an indie movie called Once. I just watched it, and it's really good.  They made it in 3 weeks on a $100,000 budget. It's streaming on...
