Analyst thinks Apple will skip the iPhone 7s; will launch iPhone 8 without home button

We are in April 2016 and the iPhone 7 has not yet been presented, but that does not mean that it is forbidden to talk about future models. There are many rumors that talk about the iPhone of 2017, but what nobody agrees on is what that iPhone will be called. According to Barclays analyst Mark Morskowitz, the smartphone that Apple will introduce next year It will be called iPhone 8, thus skipping the iPhone 7s that (almost) we all expected.

As past information, the analyst says that the iPhone 8, which would be launched in 2017 and not in 2018, will be the most important update since the launch of the iPhone 6 and 6s Plus, something that is not easy when we consider that the iPhone 6s It has a 3D Touch screen and 12Mpx camera. The iPhone Morskowitz is talking about will have OLED display and other interesting points, such as the absence of home button and wireless charging (Real or "fixed"?) In what it says will be a "mega cycle" update.

The iPhone 8 will have wireless charging

If we take into account that next year is the iPhone XNUMXth AnniversaryAs I have mentioned on different occasions, the Barclays analyst is likely to get closer to what we will see next year, but skipping the iPhone 7s, in my opinion, the iPhone of 2017 cannot be called iPhone 8. It will not I see too much sense to skip one and not take advantage of it to use a better name for marketing.

Morskowitz has also spoken of iPhone 7 which will be presented in September to say that he just hopes it a minor update. From his words, one can understand that it would be like when they presented the iPhone 5, but without the design change, and if the iPhone 5 already got a lot of criticism (Wozniak said it was an iPhone 4S with one more row of icons), the iPhone 7 will take many more, since the analyst also believes that they will eliminate the 3.5mm jack port for headphones. As always, to clear up doubts we will have to let time pass.
