    iPhone 7 to Feature Enhanced Glass on Glass Touch Panels, Claims Supply Chain

    Even though we’re yet to lay our hands and eyes on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus due to be launched by Apple, information about next year’s device, tentatively dubbed as the iPhone 7 has already started to surface. Given that the iPhone 6s duo’s launch this year won’t be marking any drastic changes from Apple’s end, next year’s flagship upgrades should come with their fair share of changes on board. And that’s just what we’ve heard out of China today, but with today’s news, Apple seems to be heading backwards it seems.

    Apple Looking To Switch Back To Glass On Glass Touch For Next Year’s iPhone

    Apple’s supply chain has started to become increasingly talkative on the subject of the iPhone 7, even though the device is more than a year away which gives Apple plenty of time to make changes on it. Now, according to today’s news, the Cupertino designer is looking to revert back to some previously used display technology for the iPhone’s next generational upgrade.
    While the iPhone 5 and onward saw Apple shift to In cell touch technology for its smartphone displays, with claims that the technology provides reduced thickness and weight, the company’s alleged supply chain sources today claim that next year’s iPhone will be coming with Glass on Glass touch, which was employed by device preceding the iPhone 5.




    Reportedly, the shift is driven by the fact that Apple’s finding it increasingly difficult to introduce upgrades to In Cell panels and this has caused the company’s supply chain to produce Glass in Glass panels with thickness equaling current hardware. Not only will the introduction of Glass in Glass allow Apple to increase display resolutions on its devices, but it could also allow the company to pursue bezel-less devices as well.
    Next year’s iPhone is sounding to be quite an interesting device indeed, but at this point we’d advise you to keep you eyes peeled for new information. It’s very early in Apple’s flagship cycle for the iPhone 7 to say anything definitively, and for now all we can do is wait for the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, which are expected to come with some upgrades as well. So stay tuned for the latest and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

    6S Marketing hopes Apple names new phone the iPhone 7, not iPhone 6s

    6S Marketing may like iPhones and other Apple products, but hopes the new iPhone isn't dubbed the iPhone 6s. The company rented billboard space in Times Square, along with plastering trucks with a plea to Apple.


    You see, the company, which has offices in New York City, Toronto and Vancouver, doesn't want Apple to name its next-generation smartphone as the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The new phone, which is expected to be unveiled later this month, could break 6S Marketing's hearts:

    "See, our company name is 6S Marketing, but our clients, friends, and colleagues simply refer to us as good ol' "6S." It's a small name but a big part of our identity -- one we've been using since 2000, when we started this company in my tiny apartment. At that time, we didn't think that one of the biggest, and most well-respected, companies would use it to name a mobile device. (We were still using Motorola flip phones at the time, after all.)

    "The reason we chose the name "6S" is that it sound like "success" (get it?).

    For a marketing agency, this opportunity is both a great opportunity and potential brand disaster - the company has operated as 6S marketing for a number of years, and despite a sudden burst of new interest, an iPhone 6s will likely have a damning impact on the agency's search engine optimization (SEO) results.

    iPhone 7 Could Have A Thickness Equal To Apple’s iPod Touch

    Even though Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus could be slightly thicker as compared to its predecessors thanks to the incorporation of Force Touch tech displays, the tech giant’s next generation iPhone 7 could be thinner than any iPhone introduced to the market so far.

    KGI Securities Analyst States That Apple’s iPhone 7 Will Be The Thinnest Out Of All The Devices Launched By The Company

    According to a source, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a new report that suggests that Apple’s iPhone 7 is expected to be the company’s thinnest mobile device yet, surpassing the thin form factor of both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. According to the individual, the device that is going to be introduced next year will have a thickness that is going to measure in between 6.0mm and 6.5mm. Currently, Apple’s iPod Touch features a thickness of just 6.1mm, indicating that iPhone 7 could be much thinner than this gadget as well.
    Earlier, we received information that the upcoming iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are going to be incorporated with Apple’s Force Touch tech displays. Due to the addition of another display, we expect the thickness of these devices to be slightly more than their predecessors. However, we are also confident that Apple will find a way around this limitation and introduce improved manufacturing methods with its partners to further reduce the thickness.





    We also expect iPhone 7 to feature the company’s own A10 SoC, which is going to fabricated on either TSMC’s or Samsung’s 10nm FinFET process, depending on which company can successfully produce the largest amount of yields first. In order to bring its plan to fruition, the analyst strongly believes that Apple will not be switching from in-cell over to glass-on-glass touch panels next year, which was a rumor out of Apple’s supply chain in Asia suggested last week.
    In-cell panels’ primary advantage would be that a thin iPhone 7 could be manufactured without running in to too many obstacles. Another advantage of using in-cell panels will be that the company could also produce bezel-free mobile devices, but the trade-off will be that a thinner iPhone will not be able to get produced.
    For now, we are going to wait for more details to sprout before we should jump to conclusions. After all, we have the Apple event to look forward to, which is going to take place on September 9th.

    Intel Commits 1,000 Engineers To Develop Next Gen LTE Chipset For Apple iPhone 7

    When the prospect of being able to create chips for one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in the world makes itself available, it's something that needs to be taken extremely seriously. That's especially the case if you haven't managed to make a grand statement in the mobile market in the past.
    That prospect is one that Intel currently faces, as it has a chance to craft its 7360 LTE modem for use in the next iPhone - if it can continue making significant milestones. Even if it does, Apple might still use a mix of Intel and Qualcomm modem chips when the iPhone 7 goes into production. Perhaps if things are far along enough, and Intel's offering is compelling, Apple could go all-in with Intel.
    Intel is taking this challenge so seriously that it's gone through the effort of pushing a staggering 1,000 engineers to the project, according to sources close to VentureBeat. Ultimately, this isn't just about creating the LTE modem for the iPhone, but down the road, being able to fabricate the chip, as well.
    image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages.../Intel_Fab.jpg

    Intel fabrication facilities in Chandler, Arizona Sources have said that Apple is impressed with Intel's fabrication processes, especially since it's able to create chips on a 14nm process. A 10nm reality will be soon upon us, which will improve both performance and battery-life further. Currently, both Samsung and TSMC fabricate the latest iPhone's A9 chip.
    Another potential perk for Apple in the future is the possibility of having Intel's LTE modem built right into its SoC, improving battery life even further (and perhaps performance.) But it doesn't stop there: with either this chip or the next one, Intel could pack CDMA support on-die as well, bolstering its phone's capabilities even further.
    If Intel manages to pull this off, it will be without question a huge win for the company.

    Apple iPhone 7 To Use TSMC’s InFO – 20% Performance Boost And 1mm Thickness Reduction Expected

    As we reach the end of 2015, things in the smartphone market aren’t what they used to be a year back. With Samsung’s increasing dominance and Apple’s iPhone 6s/6s Plus launch, coupled with the increasing relevance of Chinese manufacturers, especially Huawei, 2016 sounds as promising as it can be. Today we’ve managed to get our hands on some information about TSMC and Apple’s plans for the iPhone 7 that could once again put both the companies at the forefront of the industry.
    Apple’s iPhone 7 Could Be Based On TSMC’s InFO Technology For Improved Performance

    While Samsung might have managed to get on the top of things with its 14nm FinFET earlier this year, other manufacturers are eager to catch up to the Korean electronics giant, with some information about TSMC’s future semiconductor plans surfacing today. After the Taiwanese fab debuted its 16nm FinFET+ process a couple of weeks back, today we’ve learned that the company’s Integrated Fan-Out technology could become a feature on Apple’s next flagship.
    According to Bernstein Research, TSMC has overcome the yield issues that the company faced with the process, that has been under development since April this year and the company will be able to practically implement it in processors around the same time Apple’s iPhone 7 will enter mass-production. The process, that nearly eliminates the area between the chip and the circuit board, and allows for its placement directly above the PCB.




    Not only does this result in an overall thickness reduction of up to 1mm, which makes a lot of difference if you look at how thin the iPhone has become over the years, but due to the increased contact between the chip and the PCB, it should also result in performance efficiency of up to 20% and reduced heat build up. Not considering other factors that affect a processor’s performance that include die size, number of transistors, design and overall architecture, such gains should no doubt end up enticing Apple significantly.
    But even though TSMC might have the technology, perhaps the main factor that comes into play when talking about Apple is the scope of production facilities. After all, probably production constraints were what forced Apple to choose two chip manufacturers this year instead of one and TSMC should also be working on expanding its facilities if it expects to woo Apple over completely. The iPhone 7 launch is well ahead by nearly a year for now, so all this makes is for some interesting food for thought. Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for more.

    New iPhone 7 Concept Features An All-Screen Design, iOS 10 – Video

    We’re way too early into the lifecycle of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus to say anything concrete regarding the iPhone 7. Due for release later next year, Cupertino’s upcoming flagship device is bound to break away from the iPhone 6s design language and bring something entirely new to the table. So far, we haven’t been treated to any ‘real’ leak of the fabled device, and all we have are concept renders from different artists from around the world, with a new one making an appearance today, aiming to show what Apple’s next smartphone would look like if it came with an all-screen design with no hardware Home button, and of course, iOS 10.

    New iPhone 7 Concept Has A Display Taken Right To The Edge. Literally.

    The new iPhone 7 concept, forged by Marek Weidlich, is an interesting take on design. For starters, the focus is entirely on the device’s display, where the Home button has been removed for good and has been replaced by a software one. Speaking of software, the device runs on top of iOS 10, and on the face of things it looks exactly like watchOS that powers the Apple Watch. We have to admit that the software looks absolutely stunning on what the designer is calling the ‘never ending screen.’
    On the back the concept features a 12-megapixel camera sensor with 4K video recording. And to top things off, comes with a True Tone ring flash, sort of like the one found on the Nexus 6, where the flash module lives in a glass ring around the camera sensor itself. An interesting take we have to say.
    The back of the device has also been given a complete makeover, with the camera sensor now living on the top center of the casing. Also, the concept designer images a new feature for the iPhone 7 which he is calling ‘iArt,’ which basically lets you swap out back covers of the smartphone itself to give users more choice on the customization front. We can’t say that we are fans of this addition, but we’re certain some people will dig the idea more than others.
    There are more features thrown into the mix as well, and we encourage our readers to check out the video below for more details.

    Here’s the complete image gallery of the concept as well:


















    What are your thoughts and opinions on the new iPhone 7 concept? Do you think Apple should turn this one into a reality? Be sure to share your thoughts with us.

    The New iPhone 7 Concept Appears To Show A Front Panel With No Bezels – Video

    The iPhone has always had bezels heftier than most of its competitors. While the less they are, the more beautiful a device looks and feels. Several iPhone 7 concepts have surfaced the internet lately, showing some serious design changes that look no similar to the present iPhone 6s. Likewise, a new concept has come into sight from DeepMinds, showcasing a ”fullscreen” panel with no bezels.

    This ”fullscreen” panel is said to display content entirely on the front panel of the iPhone 7. By the looks of it, the Touch ID or Home button can also be seen embedded on the screen. Such types of concepts have also appeared in the past, showing more or less the same kind of screen with no bezels.
    Let’s see what more additional details are available from the bezeless iPhone 7 concept.
    iPhone 7 Concept Video Shows No Bezels On Display

    Some of you might mistake the concept with a standard iPhone featuring bezels and a Home button with Touch ID. However, this is not the case, the bezels vanishes when users want to see their content in the fullscreen mode and appears back again.
    The iPhone 7 concept is an interesting piece with a future oriented approach for Apple’s likes. Even though the design looks very appealing and classy, there is no certainty whether Apple is planning to adopt a similar change all at once. Here’s is the new concept video of the iPhone 7. Check it out.





    If this change is applicable, we’re sure none of you guys would like your bezel to show. Apple’s competitor, Samsung has showcased several smartphones with very little bezels. Other smartphone manufacturers have also adopted display panels with narrow lined bezels.Increasing the screen size ultimately increases the screen to body ratio and a smaller form factor overall.
    If we take Samsung’s galaxy Note 5 into consideration, the smartphone has a 5.7-inch display compared to iPhone 6s Plus’ 5.5-inch display. Altogether, the prior is smaller than the latter due to its thin bezels. With ampler expectations, it is possible that Apple might launch an iPhone 7 with thin bezels and if we’re lucky, we might see an iPhone with no bezels.
    Judging by the trending technology, the no-bezel idea does not seem applicable and not entirely possible. However, Apple could make the bezels smaller and that is what we hope for. This is it for now, folks. How did you guys like the new iPhone 7 concept? Share your insights in the comments below.

    KGI Analyst Predicts iPhone 7 To Host An A10 Chip With 3GB Of RAM

    The new iPhone 6s was introduced not so long ago, boasting a lot of internal hardware and software changes. Although the external design aspects of the device were kept the same, other changes include the infamous 3D Touch panel, a new chipset and 2GB of RAM. Even though it’s too early to ask for more, KGI Securities Analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the forthcoming iPhone 7 will feature 3GB of RAM.


    AppleInsider obtained a copy of Kuo’s prediction notes issued to clients the day before. A question that we all have in our heads is the impact of an increase in RAM on the performance of the iPhone 7. Before we jump into any conclusions, another prediction from the same source suggests that the upcoming iPhone will also feature an A10 chip, an upgrade from the current A9 chip in the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
    So let’s see how will the iPhone 7 perform, considering the predicted upgrades from KGI Securities analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo.
    iPhone 7 To Feature A TSMC Manufactured A10 Chip?

    Kuo has a strong track record when it comes to predicting Apple’s product plan. Kuo’s predictions of a thicker iPhone 6s and the introduction of the 7000 Series aluminium bear witness to his accurate insights on the company’s portfolio. For the approaching iPhone 7, Kuo has also predicted an iPhone as thin as 6mm.




    Moreover, Kuo’s notes suggest that only the bigger 5.5-inch iPhone will feature 3GB of RAM, while the smaller of the two, 4.7-inch iPhone 7 will feature the same 2GB RAM. This will be Apple’s first major class difference between the two iPhones, since the current ones have the same internals apart from some minor differences.

    Previously, a JP Morgan analyst claimed that Apple has already commissioned TSMC as its sole provider for the A10 chip. The current Apple designed A9 chips for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have been manufactured by Samsung as well as TSMC. If Apple provisions TSMC its sole provider of the A10 chips, indeed Samsung would represent itself in major loss.
    Considering the design changes of the iPhone 7, Kuo did not share his insights over the external changes for Apple’s forthcoming flagship. Apart from being thin, Kuo has not highlighted any external design changes. However, since Apple redesigns its flagship iPhone every two years, we expect the next one to be appealing as well.
    This is it for Kuo’s predictions for Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 7. What do you guys think? Will Apple interpret these changes in the next iPhone? Let us know in the comments.

    iPhone 7 Is Reported To Feature Synaptics Display Driver Chips

    Apple’s next flagship remains strong in the rumor mill, followed by predictions from the infamous Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities. Yesterday’s anticipation regarding the iPhone 7 suggested that Apple’s next flagship will feature 3GB of RAM with A10 chips. However, according to the industry sources of DigiTimes, the Cupertino giant is reported to have placed the LCD display driver orders for the next generation iPhone.

    The aforesaid LCD display drivers are to be launched in the third quarter of 2016 with Synaptics. Considering the current report, it seems Apple’s plans for its personal display panels with a joined-up driver have been set behind schedule or it may have ran itself into a barrier, as per the source.
    Let’s dive in to see some additional details on Apple’s reported LCD display driver orders for the iPhone 7.
    Apple To Use Synaptics Display Driver In the Next iPhone

    In 2014, there were several rumors surfacing that the iPhone maker was buying a division of Renesas Electrinics, Renesas SP Drivers which is also the sole provider of iPhone LCD driver chips. However, the negotiations broke down and Renesas was further bought by Snaptics, a touch display chip manufacturer. Synaptics aim was to combine the two different technologies onto one single chip.
    Both, Synaptics and Renesas were Apple’s suppliers, but it is yet not clear if the latter is still the only supplier of the display driver chips for the iPhone as it used to be before Synaptics acquired it. This is one aspect that remains to be seen in the coming days or months.




    Renesas is the same company from where Apple hired several senior engineers who were delegated for the development of TDDI chips with integrated Touch ID. In the previous days, we have stumbled across news that Apple was planning to integrate Touch ID onto the display panel, ultimately eliminating the Home button from forthcoming iPhones.
    It was a pretty appealing news, but if the TDDI chips have hit a barrier against their expected schedule, the company might continue placing Home button on the iPhone 7. Since Apple adheres to major design changes after every two years, it is also possible that the company uses another ergonomically feasible location for the Home button like the Xperia Z5.
    The company has set back a little on its desired display technology and possibly in the near future, more details will be revealed. This is it for now, folks. What do you think about the Synaptics display drivers for the iPhone 7? Let us know in the comments.

    Video Shows New iPhone 7 Concept With Optimized iOS 10 For A Bezel-less Screen

    Even though the iPhone 6s is the hot launch of this year, it’s never too late to start wondering what the next iPhone will have in store. The Spetember-announced iPhone 6s and iOS 9 still feel fresh, while several new iPhone 7 concepts have surfaced the internet. However, this new iPhone 7 concept has a little more to show than just the smartphone.

    The new concept video is designed by DeepMind, the same designer who shared an iPhone 7 concept with no bezels earlier this month. However, this time, DeepMind has imagined iOS 10 incorporated in the iPhone 7 concept, revealing the future of iPhone and iOS. iOS 10 has been optimized for the iPhone 7’s ‘fullscreen’ as can be seen in the concept video.
    Let’s see what the new iPhone 7 concept has to show and how does iOS 10 integrate with the bezel-less display panel.
    iPhone 7 Concept Video Shows The Future Of iOS?

    As can be seen in the video below, iOS 10 has taken full advantage of the ‘fullscreen’ real estate concept of the iPhone 7. We can see the completely revamped changes in the video, like Siri and Control Center. iOS 10 makes room for more stuff that can be added to the operating system, while managing other shortcuts as well. You can see how notifications are displayed at the top edge of the iPhone.







    Another noticeable feature that caught our attention is the contacts view. The contact view, according to the concept video is responsible for the provision of shortcuts to the Messenger and Phone. Social media information is also displayed in the contacts view, like Instagram’s timeline for individuals. Even though it is just a concept, the idea looks pretty useful.
    The iPhone 7 on the other hand looks bezel-less as it was showcased in the previous concept video by the same designer. The Home button integrated Touch ID has been embedded into the screen with enhanced touch functionality as can be seen in the concept video. The screen with no bezels on the iPhone 7 looks great for media consumption, but it does not seem applicable just yet. Since Apple is caught up in some display difficulties, it is yet not sure what Apple’s plans are for its future flagship.
    Even though Apple might not consider dematerializing the bezels all of a sudden, we do hope the company reduces them to a certain extent. This is it for now, folks. What do you guys think about this new concept video, showcasing the iPhone 7 as well as the future of iOS? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    Apple Plans On Making Your iPhone Float On The Surface Of Water, And One Other Cool Feature

    iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus both have a lot of technology crammed into their 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch form factors, but now the question begs: What else can Apple do to make its iPhone stand above the rest of the crowd. Turns out the company has a lot of things in mind.

    Loos Like Your Next iPhone Could Not Only Stay Above The Surface Of Water, But Protect its Innards As Well

    According to the details of a document that has been published by the US Patent and Trademark Office, the next iPhone will have a chassis so robust that it will be able to protect both the outer shell of the smartphone, as well as the components present inside it. What is even more surprising to hear is that this armored body is going to be so light, that it can manage to stay afloat the surface of water. Let us take a look on how Apple will manage to accomplish such a thing.

    First off, the chassis is going to act like an iPhone security system that will automatically deploy a protective shock absorber when onboard sensors are able to detect a potential impact. When a free fall manages to commence, then sensors will be able to determine the height, the velocity as well as which side the device is going to make impact with the unforgiving hard surface. Before the iPhone actually makes contact with the ground, or any other hard surface, there are retractable shock dampeners that will protrude from the chassis, and from the looks of it, they are going to be made out of rubber.





    The dampeners will prevent damage from being inflicted onto the phone, leaving it virtually scratch less. However, the feat that we are more interested in hearing about about is that how will they manage to make it lighter than the density of water. We already know that Apple has incorporated some very impressive engineering to make its latest iPhones water resistant, but this is a whole new ball game together.

    Looks like we will find out more about this later in the year. Do you want to see the new iPhone sport an armored chassis as well as stay above the surface of water? Let us know your thoughts right away.

    The iPhone 7 Pegged With 3GB RAM And Waterproofing In Latest Speculation

    Even though Apple’s next iPhone launches, tentatively dubbed as the iPhone 7 is almost a year ahead of us, it doesn’t stop speculations about the device from taking place. The Cupertino manufacturer is one of the top players in the global smartphone market and whatever ‘move’ it makes with respect to the iPhone lineup has a longstanding impact on the affair of things all around. That being said, folks over at TrendForce believe that the next iPhone, the iPhone 7, will be coming with some new features of its own, so lets take a look below at what these are.

    Apple’s iPhone 7 To Sport 3GB Of RAM Coupled With Waterproofing

    Given the huge popularity of the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, the bar was quite high for Apple as it headed into its launch event this September. For a company known for taking things quite slowly when it comes to the introduction of new features, Apple chose to make the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus almost completely different from their predecessors.
    Both the devices come with an upgraded Aluminum chassis (courtesy of bendgate), all new 3D Touch, a long overdue camera resolution upgrade and new chipsets on board which once again put them at the very forefront of the mobile flagship race. But even though both the iPhones come with a lot of new features, we saw several quarters complain about display resolution still being fixed, amidst other upgrades missing.

    Aside from display resolution, another feature that still hasn’t made it on Apple’s iPhone lineup is waterproofing even as other manufacturers continue to play around with various certifications. Well, TrendForce believes that all of this could change next year with the iPhone 7, as Apple is expected to make the device waterproof, at last. In addition to this, the company will not be stopping on the RAM upgrade front either, with the 5.5 inch iPhone 7 ‘Plus’ expected to come with 3GB of RAM.




    Its this latter piece of news that strikes us as particularly interesting as it takes Apple quite a while to increase RAM count on the iPhone, given the company’s excellent hardware and software integration. With 2GB of RAM on board, the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus have been performing quite well indeed according to our own reviews and user reports all around, so one can only wonder what the Apple A10 combined with 3GB of RAM will be able to achieve on the iPhone 7.
    The iPhone 7 is also expected to feature several other upgrades, in addition to the customary processor, and today’s waterproofing and RAM upgrades. Apple is also expected to finally increase the display resolution on its flagship smartphone as not only do Android manufacturers continue to race ahead at this front, but apps have also started to become more demanding in terms of pixels. We’ve also been hearing some talk of the Cupertino manufacturer choosing to do away completely with metal as well and resorting to other materials for the iPhone 7.
    On the processor end of things, there has been word floating around of TSMC’s InFO, that should provide the iPhone 7 with 10% performance boost and 1mm thickness reduction simply through the elimination of contact area between the chip and the circuit board. With the A10 on the iPhone 7 also rumored to be based completely on SiP architecture, the next year’s processor offering from Apple is looking to be quite an offering indeed.
    But before we get ahead of ourselves, it would be wise to keep in mind that the next iPhone from Apple should be coming in September of next year, which not only gives a lot of time for new information to surface, but also for things to change as well. So far the iPhone 7 does seem to be quite an interesting device indeed. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comment section below and stay tuned for the latest.

    Samsung reportedly urging Apple to switch to OLED panel for iPhone



    Samsung is in a peculiar position as it relates to the iPhone. As a supplier of mobile components for Apple, Samsung is one of the Cupertino-based company’s biggest cheerleaders – the more iPhones sold, the more money the South Korean electronics giant takes home.
    And if the latest rumors prove accurate, a display deal with Apple could see Samsung (and LG) earn even more cash from the iPhone.
    As BGR notes, there have been three separate reports over the past few weeks indicating Apple will be moving from the LCD screen it uses in the iPhone to an OLED panel. Apparently the jump won’t happen with next year’s iPhone 7 or the following year’s iPhone 7s but rather, with the iPhone 8 in 2018.
    OLED panels offer a number of advantages over LCD panels including better power efficiency, improved contrast, sharper images and brighter / more saturated colors. LCDs, on the other hand, are cheaper to mass produce which may explain why Apple has stuck with them thus far and will apparently continue to do so over the next couple of years.
    Apple already has a bit of experience with OLED panels as the Apple Watch relies on such a display.
    Curiously enough, the trio of rumors already has existing Apple display suppliers on edge. Investors are taking note as well as share value in companies like Minebea and Japan Display have dipped on the news.

    iPhone 7 To Ditch 3.5mm Headphone Jack For All-In-One Lightning Connector

    A new report has just made an appearance and it suggests that Apple’s iPhone 7 will ditch the oh-so famous 3.5mm headphone jack for an all-in-one Lightning connector.

    iPhone 7 Is Going To Drop The 3.5mm Headphone Jack For An All-In-One Lightning Connector

    The iPhone 7 is all set to be announced next year at around September time, and while many details are scarce regarding the headset, but slowly and gradually we’re starting to piece the puzzles together to get an idea what Cupertino might have in stores for us come 2016. Another new piece to the puzzle has popped up today from a reliable source, Mactotakara, and they suggest that Apple’s next flagship handset, the iPhone 7, will ditch the 3.5mm analog headphone jack with an all-in-one Lightning port for handling the users’ needs.
    The publication goes on further to state that Apple will of course release a reworked version of the EarPods for the iPhone 7 that will feature a Lighting connector. Furthermore, in case you’re wondering, Bluetooth headphones will work just fine with the iPhone 7. But, regular headphones with a 3.5mm jack will either become absolutely redundant or Apple might make the move to release a Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack. We have higher hopes for the latter to happen.

    It’s worth mentioning here that headphones with 3.5mm jacks have an analog signal throughput, and if manufacturers are going to throw in an analog to digital converter (Lightning is digital) with headphones, then we should expect prices of headphones to go up significantly. But still, we’re going to pin our hopes more towards a simple Lightning to headphone converter to handle everything, or wait for Lightning compatible headphones to arrive themselves.
    The move to a single all-in-one port is actually quite genius, as it will allow Apple to make their smartphone even more thinner by removing a millimeter or two of depth from the iPhone. Also, the signal that would be passed through the Lightning connector for audio will be absolutely digital resulting in far more clarity than traditional pair of headphones. But of course, the difference will only be felt if and only if you have Lightning compatible headphones with you.
    Apart from the above revealed / reported feature of the iPhone 7, a recent report suggests that the upcoming flagship will feature 3GB of RAM as well as waterproofing credentials. Going further, we also caught wind of the news that Apple’s iPhone 7 will utilize an LTE modem chip from Intel.
    We will keep our readers posted in the days to come when we get hold of more information regarding the iPhone 7, so stay tuned to our coverage.

    Report Suggests Apple Is Testing iPhone 7 Models With USB-C, Dual Cameras And More

    It’s never too early to start speculating the next iPhone. Earlier rumors suggested that the Cupertino giant is prepping an iPhone with dustproof and waterproof design along with a new material housing the device. According to the rumors originated in China, Apple is testing at least five different variants of the iPhone 7. Each prototype has its own set of hardware characteristics.

    The rumor source claims that the various technologies being tested in the iPhone 7 models include a USB-C connector with headset support, an embedded Touch ID onto the display, multi-touch 3D Touch, wireless charging and dual camera configuration. Even though the company is reported to forego the AMOLED displays, one of the prototypes also features an AMOLED panel as per the source.
    Let’s dive in to see some more details on Apple’s plans for the next iPhone and to what extent are the technologies applicable.
    Apple Experimenting With Multiple iPhone 7 Variants

    It’s common for manufacturers to test prototypes in the development stage. So Apple testing various prototypes do not come as a shocker. The company is also reported to replace the Lightning port for a USB-C. Earlier rumors suggested that the USB-C implementation will support headset support. This will allow the company to ditch the headphone jack for a thinner profile.

    The multi-touch 3D Touch would mean that you could press harder with multiple fingers rather than one. Allowing the device to unveil more options. One of the most pleasant feature which has been tossed around for a long while is the elimination of the Home button and an in-display Touch ID. However, previous reports have suggested a much likely hindrance in the process.

    Considering the wireless charging, it has been one of the most demanding feature by consumers. Samsung has implemented the wireless technology in its recent handsets, it is likely that Apple will consider adopting it in the near future. However, we should keep decent skeptic remarks for the report. It is most likely that not all of these features will be added in the iPhone 7 due to various technological reasons. So it might be hard to say what features will finally reach the final build of the iPhone. Only time will tell what Apple had in store for us.
    This is it for now, folks. Does some of the technology sounds too far fetched? To what extent will Apple implement these features in the upcoming iPhone 7? Share your views in the comments section below.
