As we await Apple iPhone 7 in 2016, it is widely rumored to come with a bevy of revolutionary
features and design attributes. From the first round of rumors and
speculations concerning the next Apple iPhone we can take a fresh look
at some possible features and technologies that it is likely to be
loaded with.
iPhones being one of the most advanced and popular devices on the
market anticipations are very likely to rake the brain of device
enthusiasts. Though there are some rumors that are groundless in
consideration to the state the state of technology, but there are others
that are supported by the latest range of patents filed by the company.
#1. iPhone 7 will scrap the home button
This rumor about scrapping the home button altogether is on round for
quite some time and at least last two releases invoked an expectation
around it. But this time this may actually happen as latest technology
developed by Apple is strongly supporting such a speculation.
The home button unlike all other buttons, can take you back to the
home screen with just a single press. Unlike other buttons it does not
need any context for the action. Until iPhone 6s came Apple could not
scrap the home button just by offering the same action through the touch
screen. Now with the 3D Touch technology in place the device can offer a
much larger screen and consequently can do away with the home button
all together. In iPhone 7 instead of offering a physical home button, an
on-screen area can serve as the home button.
#2. iPhone 7 will be waterproof
A recent patent filed by Apple indicates that the company has already
come up with its own type of mobile waterproof technology. According to
this newly filed patent, it is a system that can expel water with
electric charges and consequently can keep your iPhone’s inner area dry.
In a way this is also a breakthrough technology that uses an active
technology for offering protection to a device from water. Until now
manufacturers mostly used rubber seals and similar passive waterproof
technology to protect devices.
According to the patent information, the system is likely to function
by detecting water presence and then by expelling water from the
surface area of the device through an electric charge. The technology is
actually made to wipe away the water from the chamber to protect the
inside area of the device from any damage.
#3. Extra thin design
Already slimming down the device has become a common trend for high
end device manufacturers and with each release Apple has followed this
trend. In that regard iPhone 7 is going to be no different. According to
the leaked reports by
Appleinsider, Apple is working on an ultra thin design with just 6.0 to 6.5 mm thickness.
#4. Charging wirelessly
For some time rumors are spreading on wireless charging feature with
the next iPhone release. As seen by a few in the spec models of iPhone 7
the ability of the device to take charge wirelessly has been confirmed
and it is very likely to be a feature of the next iPhone. Though
wireless charging as a likely iPhone 7 feature has got strong nods from
experts, it is still not clear whether the company will use an existing
model for wireless charging or would offer it with a technology of its
own.
#5. More powerful processor with A10 chipset
There is hardly any surprise in knowing that Apple is going to
introduce a faster processor in its next handset. As with all other
previous releases the iPhone 7 will also have the most advanced chipset.
The speedier A10 chipset irrespective of many similarities with the A09
chipset of iPhone 6 will add more power and speed to the processor.
#6. Empowered with 3GB of Ram
iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have been given a higher RAM capacity after the
release of iPhone 5. Since the device is going to be a more feature
packed one than all its predecessors a higher RAM will add more
firepower to it. According to some analysts and observers Apple may
boost the device with 3GB of RAM, though this is too early to make an
accurate prediction in that direction.
#7. A speedier 3D NAND flash storage
As per the mounting rumors and speculations, iPhone 7 and 7 Plus may
come loaded with a new type of speedy 3D NAND flash storage that can be
produced by SanDisk or Toshiba. This widely speculated storage will be a
256 GB, 3D storage with 48 layers. It is capable to offer greater ease
in dealing with device data than the currently available flash storage.
Naturally, lightning fast read and write speed will add to more ease
and device capability.
#8. Revolutionary screen panel technology
There is also a strong speculation that besides the ultra thin build,
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus may actually benefit from a breakthrough display
panel technology. According to sources, this has been achieved mainly by
introducing a new ultra thin glass-on-glass solution in place of the
earlier touch panel. This would actually save the device from low
sensitivity of the panel around the edges.
#9. An affordable 7C version
Finally, the typical Apple trend of offering a less expensive version
will continue with the next release as well. Like the iPhone 5C the
company is also going to launch an affordable variant as 7C except only
the 3D touch display.
Wrapping up
Finally, when it comes to the release date of the new iPhone 7 we have
already been familiar with the company’s schedule and following the
earlier release dates Apple is going to launch the phone sometime in the
end of the 3rd quarter of this. iPhone 7 is likely to be released along
with the launch of Apple watch 2 around the same time this year.
