Philip Houska The presentation of the iPhone 7 is approaching, and information about what the new generation will look like is coming to the surface. Fans of the current models will probably be satisfied - no significant design innovation is expected for the upcoming generation of Apple smartphones.
According to the information of the diary The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, the upcoming generation of iPhones will be identical in design to the current 6S and 6S Plus models.
The biggest change, which would probably disturb the previous appearance, is supposed to concern the 3,5 mm jack. According to the WSJ, Apple will actually remove it and only the Lightning connector will be used to connect headphones.
Getting rid of the 3,5mm jack could bring both increased water resistance and an even thinner phone body by another millimeter, which was reported by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities.
If the WSJ's prediction comes true, it will mean that Apple will abandon its current two-year cycle, during which it always introduces a brand new form of its iPhone the first year, only to improve it mainly from the inside the following year. This year, however, he may add a third year with the same design, as he is said to have big changes planned for 2017.
According to unnamed sources, Apple has such technologies up its sleeve, the final implementation of which in new devices will take some time and will not "fit" in the mentioned period. After all, the company's CEO Tim Cook also commented on new technological innovations, saying in an interview with CNBC that "they plan to introduce users to things they don't even know they really need."
Apparently, more significant news should appear only next year, when there is speculation about all-glass iPhones with an OLED display or a built-in Touch ID touch sensor.
If Apple shows an iPhone similar to the current and previous generation this year, it will be in for a big trouble. Honestly, I don't really understand their behavior and I'm starting to think more and more that the company is being run by the management and not people with a vision
Logic has failed, the world is controlled by accounts... :-)
The problem is that Apple has nothing new to come up with and it would be wow. No one really has it. Only some paper values that do not mean anything to the layman are improving. In my opinion, today everyone has a phone that has everything a person needs. There is nowhere to grow and something new must be found. Apple understood this and there will be a new phone once every x years and every year only a new inside, as is the case with macbooks and even with iPads.
agree… He also thinks that nowadays it is no longer possible to amaze and make a revolution every year… :)
watch some sci-fi movie
How come he has nothing to come up with? Endurance is directly offered - better battery, bigger battery. But instead they focus on the devious idea of "the thinnest, thinnest, thinnest..."
That's right, Tim Cook is definitely right - we didn't even know before that we would need new emoticons. And now we are excited about them…
I really want to replace the old 5s, unfortunately, if there will be a "six" design again, which has lost the hallmark of a recognizable piece of jewelry at first glance, I don't know. The leaked images of the back, if they are not fakes, look really ugly…
The extension of the cycle is logical... The technologies are already so advanced that it either makes no sense to improve them or it is a question of a much longer period of time than before. In my opinion, even iPhones will reach a point like Macs where a redesign every two years is simply not possible. As for the IP design, I don't even know where to move it. Yes, the frames are thinner, but I can't think of anything else. The aluminum back perfectly matches the apple, the big phone has to be round.. Maybe just a redesign of the antenna lines, but that's really all.
word doesn't work Steve Jobs didn't know…
