Virtually all the rumors and leaks that are being published speak of a iPhone 7 which will have a design almost traced to that of the iPhone 6 / 6s. There will be certain differences, such as the bands for the antennas only on the upper and lower edges of the device or the larger cameras, being that of the Plus / Pro model with two lenses, but the essence will remain the same as the one presented to us in 2014 . Today the Wall Street Journal posted information that would confirm all those rumors.
During a meeting last month with an Apple executive, one of the Chinese engineers asked why this year's iPhone was not going to include a major design change, and the answer was that «one person from that meeting recalled that it will take time to implement the technology that is to come«. The question is: what is it that is yet to come and that could not be created this year?
Wall Street Journal: iPhone 7 keeps the design to give time to the next iPhone
Rumors claim that the iPhone 8, or whatever you want to call the iPhone of 2017, which will be the XNUMXth anniversary, will be the first to use OLED display. But a curved screen should not be a reason for the delay of the new design, since there are already several on the market and even the Apple Watch has a curved screen. I have to admit that I'm curious.
Wall Street Journal sources also confirm that the iPhone 7 will not include headphone port 3.5mm. And what is worse: they ensure that the Lightning port is the one that will be used to listen to music and charge the device, so, unless they are hiding certain information, we can forget about listening to music while charging the iPhone 7.
The Wall Street Journal also confirms that the iPhone 7 Plus will use a ccamera with two lenses and that the quality will be much higher than that offered by the iPhone 6s camera. It also ensures that it will get a little closer to the quality of DSLR cameras while adding 3D images, some kind of simulation. But all this will already be in 2017, so we will have to do what we do most and like least: wait to see what they have prepared.
It's shameful .. After 2 years with the same design, they try to sell you the same, I think Apple in two years .. The competition eats it up, we've had enough with their iOS! More of the same with a novelty… Interactive notifications, ohhhh what a great change! If this year .. Give something similar to the current one, goodbye Apple! I happened to the competition
Do well on android with all your bugs haha
I agree with Jose, it is shameful and as long as we continue to buy from Apple what they offer us they will continue to do the same, zero innovation, after having all the iPhones from the iPhone 3G I will go to the competition, I have analyzed Android phones a lot and basically I am interested In the Huawei P9 plus and Galaxy S7 Edge, it was not an easy decision but in the end I think it is the best, one day when Apple innovates again, it will probably return, in the meantime I will not follow their game, who is interested in a phone for being the slimmest, it is a ridiculous obsession of Apple!
Goodbye apple it seems that the competition beat you
Ami the design peels it to me.
I want a better camera, a more complete and faster iOS.
If it is true that less frames and touch home button would be better
More than design. A more capable camera would be better, double the battery and update the ios even more to make it more open
The good thing is not Samsung, nor Huawei, it is the OnePlus 3, I do this year the design is the same, I am going to catch that one surely to wait for the next year.
