This seems to be the tiniest spec bump for a full iPhone release. No huge new killer features over the 7. Undoubtedly, all the new stuff and innovation is being saved for the iPhone X.

Considering this is really the iPhone 7s, that's not surprising.

"Bionic chip"... what on earth is this supposed to mean? Are they running out of fancy PR words in the dictionary?

Not only does it have nearly identical specs, but it physically looks just like the 7. I'm not sure how they think they can pull a move like this and not damage consumer confidence.

I wonder why they didn't call it the 7S.

Really? I have to pay 1k for embedded photoshop filters for that? They have just enhanced the camera and... that's all? Really? I missed something? Yep - new CPU is good. But... Anything else? The expectations were much more.
