The release of iPhone SE (smaller 4-inch handset that replaces iPhone 5s) brings even more iPhone 7 rumors. Customers are curious what else Apple is planning for 2016. The iPhone 7, however, might not be that attractive.
While most consumers expect to see amazing and exclusive iPhone 7 features and specifications experts have thoughts that this model will not get a big number of attractive selling points. iPhone 7 rumors 2016 mention redesigned smartphone with new options. Still the company could step away from innovations and offer only minor updates.
Well-known expert Ming-Chi Kuo doesn’t specify possible iPhone 7 features but he thinks Apple could ship less iPhone units than it did back in 2014. As noted by Kuo, the Cupertino-based giant might only ‘order’ 190 million iPhones while this figure was 193 million two years ago.
Even if Apple goes with 205 million iPhone shipments in 2016 [4-inch iPhone SE has better battery performance than other iPhones] it won’t still reach the 230 million figure that was predicted earlier. Kuo thinks that Apple will add all the rumored improvements to iPhone 8 instead of iPhone 7. If this is true we’ll see OLED screen and wireless charging in 2017.
There were reports about iPhone 7 features that mentioned wireless charging, OLED screen and water proof body in 2016. The iPhone SE has no such features and it lacks some of the wonderful options introduced with iPhone 6s and 6s Plus launch. Could iPhone 7 be the same iPhone 6s with slight changes? What do you think?
