Apple to launch iPhone 7 next week?
Previous rumours too have pointed out that iPhone 7 Plus will be coming with dual-camera. The suit alleges, much as non-Apple fix experts have noted, that the company is at fault for not using “a metal “shield” or “underfill” to protect the relevant parts [within the phone], as it did on versions of the iPhone 5″. Unless Apple also rolls out a new touchscreen that will give you a small but quite painful electric shock every time you touch it in the wrong way, this is going to be the most controversial part of the new iPhone.
Cook appears to have made a decision to write 2016 off as an annus horribilis and not really release anything in the hopes of making a bigger splash next year and get its momentum and mojo back. Also, the device is heavily expected to replace the traditional functional keys with a touch-sensitive OLED panel and boost security by featuring Touch ID. The display of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be similar of iPhone 6S, however the Apple could upgrade the resolution – 4.7-inch for iPhone 7 with full HD display and 5.5-inch for iPhone 7 Plus with QHD display.
The Apple event is scheduled to take place at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco at 10 a.m. local time.
In a odd twist of events, we recently saw an interesting leak on Geekbench that reveals a September iPhone entitled the iPhone 6 SE.
Apple also reported a 15 per cent drop in iPhone sales globally, from 47.5 million units to 40.4 million in its recent second quarter results. Furthermore, Apple, for the past few years, has been unveiling new iPhones in September. About half of existing iPhone owners said that are planning to upgrade to the iPhone 7, and 49% said they would not. But Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that the new MacBook Pro will be announced separately from the iPhone 7.
The two instances, one in English and one in Chinese (via Techtastic.nl), could reveal the packaging will include Lightning EarPods and an adapter to be used when connecting the buds to other devices. The company is notorious for pinching pennies – the death of the standard 3.5 mm headphone jack to force consumers to use Apple’s exclusive Lightning jacks is a prime example – but for once, it seems like Apple is actually doing its customers a favor.
