Despite being almost 12 months old and mere weeks away from being replaced, Apple still have a little note below the iPhone 7 on their website stating flagging it as "new". Seems a bit misleading? I feel sorry for someone buying one in the next few weeks.
Homework like going onto the Apple website and seeing if there is a new model?
on Sep 15th they will allow a trade back for new one… if it is less than 45 days old.. they do it every year
Not everyone needs the latest and greatest, especially if they're coming from an older phone.
as oppose to "going on clearance soon" ?
apple can do anything change the charging port, remove earphone jack and increase the price fanbois will still camp for it.
And the fans is singing the praises for the changes because it is innovative and ground breaking.
Ah yes, as opposed to releasing a phone that catches on fire….
Isn't it technically still the newest?
Being the newest, doesn't make it new.
I could have the last Ford Model T that rolled off the production line…. That doesn't make it "new" in 2017.
iPhone 7 hasn't been superseded… Model T has
Oh, I'm not disagreeing here.
If anything the 6s and SE are new too, they're not used after all.
I would argue that the T-Model is not the latest model Ford.
One could also say that if you acquired the T-Model recently, then its your new car.
What's newer? The Focus or Falcon?
If anyone has a new Model T for sale, I'll take it.
Tell me a company that will tell the public that a new model is coming soon. That would be a suicide move in terms of revenue. Even if its obvious, they still wouldn't say it.
If you owe a company, would you tell the customers a month or two ahead of time a new model is coming soon.
Car manufacturers do this all the time …
Holden has just announced a new Commodore is arriving soon (with front-wheel drive… wow). It won't be long before lots of cool dudes will be driving around in these Commodores with an iPhone 8 stuck to their ear.
Well is it used?
It was old hat when it came out.
The context is compared to the other models, and it is the newest.
Mate, what's your problem, slow news day or something…
its still new, its sealed in a box never used before therefore new.

agree not "new" tag should say "current"
Hey, I just bought a new guitar. Oops, sorry, a current guitar.
Pointless and stupid post by a Fandroid/Apple Hater.. Samsung makes god knows how many different models of phones every year. I guess by OP's logic, the Samsung Note 8 should be an "Old" phone in another 2 months or so.
Yeah… I have all the sympathy in the world for someone buying a brand new $1k+ phone and not doing their homework.
