Apple is allegedly gearing up to launch its new smartphone, the iPhone 7, next year. The Cupertino-based tech giant is rumored to release its thinnest and first-ever waterproof device in 2016.
The iPhone 7 is set to be unveiled in September 2016, of course this is not yet official. Since Apple has just launched its iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, it can be inferred that the next smartphone will be released sometime next year. As early as now, there are already a lot of speculations and rumors circulating around the Internet about the iPhone 7 features and specifications.
This upcoming smartphone is alleged to be Apple's thinnest iPhone with a physical dimension of just 6mm thickness. According to some reports, a Taiwan-based semiconductor company has secured a contract from Apple to exclusively supply A10 processors for its next-generation mobile processor. The production of the processors is said to start in March next year.
However, according to Mac Rumors, KGI Securities analyst Ming Chi Kuo denies the previous report. Apple is said to stick with in-cell panels, which allows the company to produce thinner device.
Furthermore, the A10 chip will increase the performance of the processor by 70 percent and enhance the universal performance of the iPhone 7, specifically the graphics. The next iPhone is also expected to have an all-day battery, improved storage, and wireless charging feature. Its lightning port will be displaced with a USB Type-C port, 2K display element will be included, and the back-end camera will be added in the center and the front snapper will have 8 megapixels.
All Apple users and spectators will have to wait a year more to get a hold of this new iPhone. As expected, the leading tech giant will surprise everyone again as it reveals an upcoming iPhone 7 with more groundbreaking and powerful features in the coming year.
