Different insiders have reported that Apple is currently testing more than 10 prototypes of the iPhone, so while it is impossible to tell what users will see in 2017. What is known at the moment?
There is a chance that the novelty will receive the name iPhone 7S iPhone 7S Plus, respectively, that is, an improved version released in 2016 the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Apple is doing so since 2008, when consistently every year came the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s and so on.
But given the declared big changes and the jubilee year, perhaps the company will waive the letter “S” in the name and immediately move on to the next digit — iPhone 8. This name is still conditional and has not yet received confirmation from Apple.
In the Chinese equivalent of Twitter — the microblogging service Weibo — there was another rumor, according to which, the premium model of the new iPhone will be called the Ferrari.
in addition, there was news about the official colors of the iPhone-the flagship can come in red color. So the phrase “I bought a red Ferrari” can take on a new meaning.
According to rumors, the iPhone is waiting for radical redesign with a display that will occupy the entire front plane of the mobile, capturing the front camera and Home button. The fate of the latter remains questionable, as the Touch ID sensor can be integrated directly into the screen, causing the need for a mechanical button disappears.
at least one model of the smartphone will be made entirely of glass, bounded by a framework of aluminum or stainless steel.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, whose predictions tend to come true, said that Apple will abandon the aluminum housing that have been used since 2012, in an attempt to allocate a new gadget in the background of all those that came before. Instead, the company can integrate glass back panel, as it was in iPhone 4s.
Glass is more fragile and heavier material than aluminum, but Kuo believes it will not be a problem.
Over the past five years, glass technology has moved forward, and Gorilla Glass, used in smartphone displays, has become much stronger. If Apple will reduce the thickness of the iPhone and will use a more powerful OLED display, then it will be able to use a heavier material for the housing that will not affect the overall weight of the gadget.
several sources said that the new iPhone will be available in three different sizes — a 4.7, 5 and 5.5 inches. While there is no consensus as to whether all models of “glass” or this material will be used only for the premium of the gadget.
At least one model of the next iPhone will get a bendable OLED display high definition. This is evidenced by Apple’s contract with Samsung, which is one of the largest manufacturers of the similar led screens.
it is Reported that Samsung will provide kupertinovtsy 40 million OLED displays in 2017 and will be the only supplier, so smaller companies AU Optronics, Japan Display and Sharp are not within the set deadline.
Previously, insiders talked about the fact that claims Apple is not able to perform any one company due to problems with the supply of raw materials
therefore, the whole release of the new iPhone with OLED displays in jeopardy.
These screens do not require additional lighting, as in the case of LCD displays, so their use will help Apple to reduce the thickness and weight of the gadgets. In addition, OLED displays can bend, giving the company more opportunities to experiment with design.
Screens with organic LEDs provide better contrast and color reproduction, save battery power, and the response time is much faster than liquid crystal displays. OLED screens are already used by the company in “smart” clock Apple Watch.
Perhaps together with bendable display will be fulfilled another dream of fans of Apple products wireless charging smartphone. The company develops new technology that can charge a device at a great distance from the charging station.
While on the way engineers arise some problems, for example, deterioration of the signal if the distance between the transmitter and receiver will increase, which will affect the speed of charging.
But Apple is clearly not going to go out this way, if you remember a waiver of a standard headphone Jack and the appearance in the sale of wireless headset AirPods.
in addition, there are rumors that Apple began to cooperate with the company Energous, which last year unveiled the technology WattUp, able to charge devices at a distance of 6 meters from the base.
In the third and fourth quarter of 2017 Energous plans to release a new transmitter medium range, coinciding with the anticipated release of the new iPhone.
