There are emerging news that Apple's new system will be employed in the next iPhone 7, which will be quickly followed by the iPhone 8 release. The iPhone 7 is going to be part of Apple's "replacement cycle" and will be behind the upcoming "mega upgrade" in 2017.
iPhone 7 To Be Another "S" Phone?
According to the Independent, there are hearsays that the iPhone 7 will carry the aesthetic design of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Ahead of its release, which is rumored to be in September, the iPhone 7 is more likely to be part of the S phone line, as per Mark Moskowitz, an analyst at Barclays.
Apple has been marking its iPhone debuts during the same time of the year every year, lately with similar designs. However, with the iPhone 7, Apple is reportedly going to do an overhaul: employing a different internal upgrade, in addition to the trademark "S" in the iPhone 7 range.
The iPhone 7 will be equipped with some modifications. Reports claim that the typical headphone jack will be removed, but with the compensation of a dual-lens camera. For those looking to see a brand new exterior design on the iPhone 7, sorry to say but it will still embody a similar design to the most recently released models.
iPhone 8 To Break Apple's Usual Release
As for the "mega upgrade," the iPhone 7 won't stay on the market alone for too long. Allegations claim that the iPhone 8 will be coming out shortly after the iPhone 7 release. Moskowitz notes that the iPhone 8 release would be breaking Apple's regularly scheduled yearly reveals.
Furthermore, the iPhone 8 might have the ability to charge its battery without wires, similar to the recent models from Samsung. The iPhone 8 is also powered with an OLED display, boasts of a "completely altered form factor" and has no home button.
"Mega Upgrade" Effects On Sales And Specs
As per Mac Rumors, the upcoming "mega upgrade" can help boost iPhone's sales by 10.3 percent, the analyst revealed. There are, too, swirling rumors that Apple has been working with some supplier to star making OLED panels for its 2017 iPhone lineup.
Apple is also trying its best to develop an "in-house single-chip solution" to be added to its touchscreen and display drivers. Hence, the next iPhones could have a Touch ID solution and a separate home button.
