‘Apple iPhone 2017’ Specs: The Next Big Thing for Smartphones; iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are Just Pawns? [RUMORS]
ByThe crowd's brouhaha over iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus maybe become overrated when the rumored "Apple iPhone 2017" will hit the shelves next year. Reports suggested that iPhone 7 and iPhone Plus are evidence that Apple played it safe this year given the boring features of the two newest smartphones. Could it be true that the next flagship is the next big thing?
Why the next big thing?
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are considered as breadcrumbs intentionally spread across the path of the upcoming "Apple iPhone 2017". The Forbes previously reported that iPhone 7 is not big a game-changer, that Apple saved their never-before features for the iPhone 2017 to mark their 10th anniversary for the original iPhone. This report is supported by Mac Rumors when they speculated the arrival of "Apple iPhone 2017" that will be called "iPhone 8" next year as the Cupertino-based company.
Apple iPhone 2017 features
Mac Rumors revealed that "Apple iPhone 2017" will be sporting a radical design which is obviously going out from the mainstream.
Starting off with display, "Apple iPhone 2017" will feature an edge-to-edge display that is built with bezels in the top and bottom. Embedded in the screen is the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and front facing camera. One notable innovation is the absence of a physical Home Button where it said to be built directly from the display screen.
In addition, rather than utilizing the most common LCD for display, "Apple iPhone 2017" is most likely to have a flexible OLED which eventually would allow Apple to introduce much thinner smartphone. For this matter, battery consumption becomes lesser and featuring curve edges on both sides is possible just like what Samsung did with Galaxy S7 Edge.
When it comes to physical design, rumors suggesting that Apple iPhone 2017 will feature looks of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s for having a glass body instead of aluminum from the latest models.
Under the hood is a 10-nanometer A11 chip that boosts smartphone's performance in an efficient manner. Aside from that, "Apple iPhone 2017" is likely to become the first in wireless charging. Some additions such as facial or iris scanning have the possibility for inclusion.
"Apple iPhone 2017" is rendered to have two variants: 4-7 inches and 5.5 inches models. iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus release date is speculated to fall in the last quarter of 2017.
