Apple Inc. has just release its flagship smartphones iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus that has gained not just positive feedback but also an award. Following these milestones, the company is now expected to unveil another flagships, the iPhone 7and 7 Plus. These devices are believed to have support for Apple Pencil and are speculated to hit the market in late 2016.
According to iDigitalTimes, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has released 44 patents showing granted Apple designs. One of these indicates that the Apple Pencil will be able to work in both the iPad Pro, all other iPads model and the iPhones 7 and 7 Plus.
A new force sensor will be incorporated in the Apple Pencil allowing the stylus to understand signals that can be generated on the touch sensitive iPad and upcoming iPhone screens. It is also expected to understand different levels of force as well which means the iPhone 7 will be able to support apps with fine shading features via the Apple Pencil.
Yibada stated on its article that upcoming iPhone might have an enhanced build that will be centered on Apple's 3D Touch technology. As a result, the iPhone next year is most likely to cut the iconic physical Home button making the Touch ID to be repositioned elsewhere in the display panel or the device.
Furthermore, Apple Insider added other rumored specs and features the forthcoming iPhones might sport. The iPhone 7 is believed to have a 4.7-inch display and 2 GB of RAM like its predecessor. The larger iPhone 7 Plus on the other hand, will have an additional gigabyte for a greater performance. Despite the predicted RAM difference, both smartphones are expected to run on the upcoming mobile processor architecture from Apple that is currently known as the "A10" CPU.
It was also reported that the upcoming iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are expected to be launched in September of 2016,if based on Apple's usual annual release pattern.
