    Not so much MPS. But optical zoom, light ratio and stuff like that are all really important. It's not long now until you will be able to get DSLR quality pics from a phone.

    Plus the increase in quality of the front camera is important.

    If you compared the same picture from an iPhone 4 to a pixel/galaxy S8 etc it will be an absolute world of difference.

    MP doesn't mean s--- really quality wise, but I'd say a bad camera is a deal breaker. iPhones always do cameras good though

    So to summerise:
    Apple Watch 3rd series. Exactly the bloody same but with a slightly bigger body and its own mobile date.
    New Apple TV. Exactly the bloody same but some enhanced colours.
    iPhone 8 and 8 plus. Exactly the bloody same just a bit faster.
    iPhone X[10] - really good looking phone. Not as innovative as they want it to be and ridiculously expensive but finally a true jump forward for Apple.

    I honestly really doubt this. Next year will be the Xs. Along with Samsung releasing the s9. Then the following year it'll be Apple releasing the 11 and Samsung releasing the s10. Then the following year will be Apple with the 11s and Samsung with the s11.

    The casual user finds some safety in these numbers and just assumes the one with the highest number is the better option.

    I got the 7plus this year cause it was time to upgrade from my previous (and only) smartphone, the galaxy note 4... and I'm not sure when I upgrade next (whenever that is) that I'll go the apple route again.

    s--- just loses more and more features and gets more impractical as time goes on.

    They skipped the 2 (naming-wise)

    iPhone
    iPhone 3G
    iPhone 3GS
    iPhone 4
    etc

    I bet Xs or 11 will be next. They aren't gonna have 9 after 10
