#2I'm not surprised sales are weak: the regular iPhone 7 seems to offer few improvements over the 6s or 6, with only the 7+'s camera being a really notable differentiator.

#3The 7 is really extremely boring, and the haptic button feels terrible.

#6That Apple might expect to sell fewer phones in the post-holiday quarter than the holiday quarter, that I buy. That sales are more sluggish than expected, I don't. At least not based on unsourced claims.
I've seen reports like this so often that I don't think I'd know what to do if one didn't appear. And so far, they mostly happen on years that are later demonstrated to include record sales of the product we're told is selling poorly.
I've begun to suspect that analysts literally make these up trying to provoke a response from Apple, since Apple normally only shares numbers during quarterly earnings, and they don't want to wait that long.

#7The numbers coming out of Apple next quarter will be interesting. iPhone 7 has been underwhelming and reception to the latest MacBooks Pros has been mostly negative. And if sales are on a downhill trajectory, I wonder what the response inside of Apple will be.

#8I have an iPhone 6S since its first month. Just thought, you know, test it once. But I always look jealously at my friends who run Android phones for half the price. You can just do more with Androids, it's more efficient, the keyboard is more efficient, apps can run concurrently, and to my surprise even the cameras seem to be way better. Besides the brand I really don't know what reason there is to buy iPhones. So to me it is no surprise that the sales drops. Just means people still vote quality over empty brand value. (The same doesn't apply to Macbooks afaik)

For what reason? I would wager that 3rd party stores would gain popularity should that happen.

As a counter to just one of your points, you can also run apps concurrently on iOS, in fact you can have them side-by-side, and for audio apps, multiple separate apps can generate synthesizers and other music simultaneously while another app mixes and records them. It's pretty neat stuff.
