Many are from China rumors claiming that the design of the iPhone 7 will be very similar to the iPhone 6/6s. Where is finally confirmed this, Apple it would repeat design for the third consecutive year, something that might not like too much to consumers and could make the smartphone sales will drop.
Nikkei, one of China’s most prestigious media, confirms this thesis. According to them, Apple would have decided to do renewals every two years and do it every three. Of course, the company would include hardware developments in each generation of the phone and also the operating system, but design changes would be made only every 36 months and when the public in general would feel that it is to a new terminal and not a rehash of the previous.
Apple might start to renew every 3 years instead of 2 iPhone
The publication also confirms that the iPhone 7 will be identical to the iPhone 6. Yes speaks of improvements of hardware such as: new processor, more powerful camera, resistance to water or a longer life battery. In addition, it confirms the Elimination of the headset port on 3, 5 mm. However, claim that big changes are expected for the year 2017 with the arrival of: screen OLED from edge to edge, start button integrated in the own screen thanks to 3D Touch and, of course, completely renovated design.
It is true that the publication has a great reputation and been successful on many occasions about the future plans of Apple, but for the moment we cannot confirm 100% that this information is correct. The rumors seem to make it clear that the company will use the same design once more, but until we have official confirmation we should not consider it done.
Is this the right direction for Apple? Is it really a good strategy to repeat the same design for three years in a row? Maybe do something like help engineers to seek better ways to integrate major advances hardware inside the phone since they would have more time, although it is also possible that it not commercially is the best strategy to follow.
Whatever it is, we have to be patient and wait to see how events develop.
