2.Will there be 3 new iPhone 7 models? Rumors swirl around the iPhone 7 Pro
Enjoying the feel of that sparkly new rose gold iPhone 6S in your hand, and the joy of 3D Touch? Well, we don’t WANT to spoil that, but Apple’s already working on the iPhone 7, and rumors about it are beginning to heat up. Here’s what we think we know about Apple’s next major smartphoneRELEASE so far.
Will there be 3 models?
The number of iPhones is growing. INITIALLY, there was only one new iPhone each year, but now there are three: a 4.7-inch model, a 5.5-inch model, and a 4-inch model. Some sources hint that Apple will launch yet another version of the iPhone in 2016. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are more or less guaranteed to replace the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus as the flagships, but rumors hint that there may be a new iPhone 7 Pro (or iPhone 7 Plus Premium) model, too.
The latest report to suggest that Apple will launch three iPhone 7 models comes from Mobipicker, which claims to have exclusive knowledge of Apple production plans. The site says that Apple is ramping up production for 3 iPhone models: the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 7 Pro. The site says the iPhone 7 Pro may go by the moniker iPhone 7 Plus Premium, but the name isn’t a certainty yet. Apparently, the devices are already in production.
It’s unknown what features will set the third new iPhone 7 model apart from its brothers, though some rumors hint that the camera tech will be different. This report does come from a relatively unknown source, so consider it with due skepticism .
A new leak shows that Apple may be rethinking how iPhone 7's home button will work - unverified photos offer a close look at a button that's just a circle drawn under the glass.
This would make it a capacitive touch button, but there's no reason to think it can't continue to operate as a fingerprint reader. At least two companies - Qualcomm and Sonavation - have developed ultrasonic tech that can work from under the glass.
This would mean Apple will have to change up the gestures a bit. Currently, a double tap (not press) on the Home key brings the UI lower down so you can reach it with your finger.
The source of the photos mentioned two gestures: tap & hold launches Siri, double tap for the app switcher.
Apple has had issues with the reliability of Home buttons in the past, so this may be the motivation behind the change - reliability. And the company already has a solid haptic feedback worked out for its trackpads, in case anyone misses the 'click.'
We've heard a lot of rumors about the upcoming iPhone 7 duo lately, and today there's a new one out. Unlike most, however, this comes from a usually trustworthy source, namely the Wall Street Journal.
The publication cites "people familiar with the matter" saying the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will not be very different compared to their predecessors, the iPhone 6s (pictured below) and 6s Plus from last year. This means Apple will break its self-imposed tradition of coming out with big revamps of its flagship once every two years.
The 6s duo have already been one rehash of the design first presented in 2014 with the iPhone 6, and it appears that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will mostly look the same. No big changes are expected. In fact the most important new 'feature' of the new phones will be the much talked about removal of the 3.5mm headset jack.
This rumor confirms that move once more, even if just yesterday another report said the analog jack would stay. The removal of the plug will apparently make it easier for Apple to make its 2016 devices water resistant, and also thinner (possibly by 1mm compared to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus). They will keep the 4.7" and 5.5" screen sizes from previous models.
If you're looking for big changes in the iPhone lineup, then you'll need to wait another year. For the ten-year anniversary models launching in 2017, Apple is working on many new things, including giving them edge-to-edge AMOLED displays (which may even be curved), and eliminating the Home button by integrating its fingerprint scanner into the screen itself.
All of this new technology takes time to implement, which is why you won't see any of these things in the iPhone 7 unfortunately. Hopefully they will come in next year's handsets, though it's still early and things could change.
A new leak, surfaced from social network Weibo in China, revealed several parts that are allegedly part of the materials list for the upcoming iPhones. There still appear to be two variants, one with a 4.7 inch screen and another with a 5.5 inch screen.
What’s interesting is despite all the buzz and speculation surrounding Apple’s possible omission of the classic 3.5mm headphone jack, the parts that were leaked clearly show a lightning port assembly which includes the 3.5mm headphone jack after all. Perhaps Apple wasn’t trying to make the new iPhone as thin as the recently announced Moto Z which, in fact, has no 3.5mm at all.
The parts leaked include a dual lens camera module which would be used on the alleged iPhone’s ‘Plus’ variant, SanDisk memory chips with storage up to 256GB of memory, display panels of both 4.7 and 5.5 inch variants (still not much info about the display itself), the lightning port assembly (which includes the 3.5mm jack), and a dual SIM card tray for a possible dual SIM variant.
Apple is going to announce the new generation of iPhones
this September - the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
Some are expecting to see an iPhone 7 Pro model to make an appearance,
but the picture still isn't clear on that one.
One thing all the rumors have in common is the lack of change in
the design -the 7th generation iPhones
will be staying close to the iPhone 6 series,
with minor exterior refinements such as the hidden antenna bands.
We are even hearing these design refurbishments will happen for
three years in a row from now on.
And while we are still in the rumor mill, the rest of the popular rumors
suggest
Apple will be putting optical stabilization on the smaller iPhone 7, too
Today's story is a bit different. It disturbs what we are used to expecting
with the suggestion that Apple might be replacing its top-selling color option -
the Space Gray - with Deep Blue. If indeed this is true,
this has to be one super attractive paint mixture; otherwise,
it may get lots of people angry. After all,
the Space Gray was most famous not because is coolness,
but because it was the safest choice.
As the report suggest, the rest of the colors will remain intact - Gold,
Rose Gold, and Silver. You should take this rumor with a healthy pinch of salt,
as always.
Speculation continues on the controversial subject of the next iPhone's 3.5mm headphone jack, or rather the rumored lack thereof. In today's episode, a source
out of China states that the decades-old analog connector will remain a feature
of the iPhone 7.
A single photo of an alleged back panel for the 4.7-inch future iPhone, posted on Weibo, fails to provide evidence. However, the source is the same user that leaked photos of componentsbefore, revealing the said jack. A Wall Street Journal publication from this week said the jack would be gone, citing unnamed insiders.
Anyway, the back panel in the photo carries a design already familiar from the multitude of leaks. The relocated antenna bands are apparently final and
so is the bulkier camera module. The source postulates that a larger
CMOS sensor is to blame.
Other leaks suggest the iPhone 7 may look similar to the iPhone 6 (Plus) and 6S (Plus) with the exception of a slightly different camera position and perhaps some shuffling of the ports underneath (depending on the headphone jack). Oh, and let’s not forget about the repositioned antenna line.
Still, we don’t know too much about the iPhone 7’s new hardware features like the dual camera setup or the dual SIM support. Apple iPhone users take the longest to upgrade phones among any other manufacturer; this comes with pros and cons for the consumer and company alike. We hope, for Apple’s sake, that the iPhone 7 doesn’t look too similar to the 6 and 6S models.
Apple is going to source the modem for some versions of the iPhone 7 from Intel, Bloomberg reports. The AT&T variant and some versions meant for other markets will get an Intel chip instead of the customary Qualcomm solution.
One key market that Qualcomm gets to keep is China - iPhones bound for there will still use a modem by the San Diego-based semiconductor maker.
The info has been revealed by industry insiders, who have chosen to remain unidentified. The companies involved haven't commented on the matter.
Intel's presence in the mobile chip market has been marginal so far, the company's mobile division consistently racking up losses. While the alleged deal with Apple may not necessarily put it in the red, it's undoubtedly a step in that direction.
As the iPhone 7 family inches closer to announcement, more and more details are being finalized - and if this rumor is to be believed, the price has been set.
The prices come from a Chinese tipster and are in yuan. Converted to dollar equivalent, they seem pretty high but looking at the iPhone prices in China they pretty much match the current models.
For example, the cheapest option - 16GB iPhone 6s - is CNY 5,288 and the rumored price for the 32GB iPhone 7 is CNY 5,258. The top model - 128GB iPhone 6s Plus - is CNY 7,788 or just under the purported price of the 256GB iPhone 7 Plus or 128GB iPhone 7 Pro.
So, I expect the 256GB iPhone 7 Pro to be $1,050 in the US. Here are the Chinese prices and their US dollar values, but again, they should match up with the equivalent model from the current generation.
As we get ever closer to the fall and thus to Apple's next smartphone unveiling event, more and more rumors and leaks are starting to crop up regarding the upcoming iPhone 7 andiPhone 7 Plus. And this one is no different.
Some new renders showing the two devices inside cases have appeared today. This time the case maker is Olixar, and just one case model has been listed for each phone (in three colors however).
Since case makers are usually sent handset schematics ahead of a new product's release (so they can have their accessories on the market in time), these renders may be as legit as anything based on schematics can get.
The iPhone 7 will reportedly be 6mm thin, while the Plus model is shown in these images rocking that much-rumored dual-camera setup on the back. Furthermore, on the lower side of its rear we can also spot a Smart Connector that will be used for easier pairing with certain types of accessories, just like the iPad Pro line. The debut of this connector on the iPhone 7 Plus has been talked about quite a bit too, even though we've seen contradictory reports regarding whether it will actually be included. These cases say yes. We'll see.
Anyway, you can pre-order the cases if you want to, by going to the two Source links below. Every one of them is priced at just £6.99, since they are quite basic gel cases and nothing more.
