Smaller iPhone still won’t get dual-lens camera in 2017
The 2017 iPhone 8 family will mark the 10-year anniversary of the iPhone, and with the announcement, Apple is expected to bring in some hefty changes to its smartphone family. Although it is little too early to say anything certain about the next Apple phone, but the reports are pouring in.
Kuo’s note, which is in possession of MacRumors, also claims the iPhone 8 will have one 4.7-inch variant with single lens camera while the other two variants will have 5.5-inch screen with dual-lens snapper. Now, this new rumor is that Apple is about to launch 5.8 inch OLED panel for iPhone 8, Whereas the predecessor iPhone 7 Plus has 5.5 inches 1080P LCD. Competitors like Samsung has been using OLED display to create sharper on-screen images. But as rumors start to pile up, it seems clear that at least one Apple iPhone 8 model will come with OLED technology, marking a major departure for the company. Is the new iPhone boring after all? Models like iPhone Plus and smaller screen regular iPhone will stick to the current LTPS display technology. And another is that it will also going to come with a Bezel-less Curved display as it is also skipping its S nomenclature and moving to the 8 devices. KGI Securities has released a new report predicting how the iPhone lineup will look next year with new details on different screen sizes, display types, and camera features.
The analyst said the decline in the demand of the iPhone 7 will commence this month and will continue to fall even in December.
According to Nikkei, all three iPhone 8 variants will get glass backs supplied by China’s Biel Crystal. The module will connect to a transmitter plugged into a wall socket. Users will need to bear in mind that the device will stop charging wirelessly if they move outside 15 feet of the transmitter, according to The Indian Express. Another model will be 5.5 inches with a dual lens camera and LCD display. This new rumor suggests Apple might take a similar roadmap next year, but who really knows at this point.
Analysts have said they expect that a higher proportion of iPhone owners will be interested in upgrading next year, when the device is likely to get the more significant make over.
