It will be nice to be able to afford it, I hope, at sometime.

Maybe in six months. Like to see them get the bugs worked out.

Not a fan of losing the headphone jack. I have been known to charge the phone and listen to my headphones at the same time. Former iPhones had the jack on the top of the phone, which I think would have been the way to go if internal space allowed. Then again, with the billions in fines that Apple is facing for tax evasion, I can see why they'd want their customers to have to purchase new proprietary headphones that are compatible with their phone.
Also, my 6 works great.

Nice to see they've finally caught up with the rest of the tech world and implemented water proofing 😉

Not much is waterproof (only the Samsung Galaxy S7), our cameras are the worst offenders.
There still is no fully waterproof phone, only water resistant. Don't take them diving.

Am on market for new phone, but no phone is worth 700usd/eur to me personally. Most likely it's OnePlus 3 or iPhone SE.

I'm not a partisan for this or any other company, but Apple is not being fined for tax evasion. They followed Irish tax law to the letter and do not owe the country money according to its laws. But the EU is making a case that Ireland's tax policy violates EU guidelines, so that in fact Apple was undercharged.

Another strong contender is the Note 5. I use that when I'm traveling. The stylus comes in handy more than I imagined. It is a bit of a transition from using the iPhone at home though...

IOs 10 has Raw camera support.
That's more exciting than the new phone.
I'll stay with an "old" 6plus for now.
I like wired headphones and have several and a extra dongle is not appealing.

I will probably in January when my iPhone Upgrade Program eligibility renews. This assumes the monthly leasing fee will not increase. Time will tell. I would order the Jet Black finish.
My motivation is more storage, faster CPU, longer battery life and the camera image stabilization system. I welcome killing the headphone jack. I hate wires. I don't plan to buy the $160 ear buds though (well... in the unlikely event they fit me perfectly I may spurge). Bluetooth and AirPlay streaming are fine.

Samsung, Sony and Motorola are the main ones. I can vouch for both the Sony and the Motorola both being pretty resilient - one survived a few seconds submersion in a jug of beer, the other spent 30 minutes in a backpack that a milk carton had exploded in, while I was on a motorcycle. After those incidents I swore I'd never but a non water-resist phone again.

Linear TIFF files are possible with several apps right now. I record these with the excellent 645 Pro app using my 6S. 645 Pro calls these "dRAW TIFF"s. Lossless LZW compression is an option. Of course "dRAW TIFF"s really aren't raw files.
I read the OS 10 raw files are DNGs, so this would be another reason to upgrade... the same raw format Leica uses!

It is 2 inches long, you could put shrink tubing or tape on it if you are a careless type like me.

There actually are quite a lot of water resistant smartphones around. There was a water resistant version of the Samsung S4, the entire S5 range (including S5 edge and S5 mini) were water resistant, and it reappeared on the S7 and its variations. So are many Sony models (Z3 and up, the M aqua series, M5, ZR, and probably some more).
The Sonys are IP68, submersion proof for unlimited amounts of time (rather than the IP67 half hour of Samsung and iPhone). But the IPx8 classification does not certify for any water pressure, so it won't be safe to drop them in the swimmer's pool! Besides, all makers explicitly state that their phones should not be operated under water, so they are at the very best a beach camera, and perhaps not even that.

So Apple wants me to buy a new Sennheiser? Nope.

I've no interest in phones for photography or anything else other than texts, mails and voice calls, so not for me.

only if it has a histogram and i can take a photo one-handed while adjusting focus and exposure. the ergonomics are still terrible.

I upgrade my 'phone the same way I upgrade most things: when they wear out or stop working...

I have not made a study of Android phones, but as I recall SONY has had some bad press on just how water resistant their phones are?
I dried out girlfriend's totally immersed iPhone, freshwater, it came back to life. I had one which was badly fogged in cycling shorts, it also recovered. The main problem is the iPhone has a water detector in it.
There is hope after toilet.
You would not be a good customer for iPhones, I have had four, and even the first one, now 12 years old, still works. I replace the batteries myself, about $15.
