iPhone 7 Wireless Charging Could Be Possible

iPhone is a popular smartphone that is highly demanded across the world. What users wish to see soon is iPhone 7 wireless charging technology. There are rumors about Apple working together with Energous to make this happen.

According to reports, the ‘fruit’ company could introduced wireless charging iPhone 7 this or next year. Users might get a chance to charge their smartphones distantly from up to 15 feet. It could work like WiFi and can be introduced as soon as 2016. The next iPhone 7 might be officially released in the fall and bring some new features and options to attract new customers and keep current users interested in upgrading.

iPhone 7 Wireless Charging

The iPhone 6 sales were extremely high. Millions of users chose to upgrade their older iPhones to iPhone 6 in 2014 and 2015. The iPhone 6s popularity wasn’t as successful as iPhone 6. Trying to meet customers’ demand, Apple is believed to offer iPhone 5se with 4-inch screen this spring.

Apple could use WattUp by Energous and transmit energy to iPhones that are up to 15 feet away from the transmitter. The Power Router used in this technology could send energy through RF signal to all supported iDevices.

The iPhone 7 will get a new processor that will be paired with this Router. We will most likely hear more details about this upcoming smartphone pretty soon. Of course, at first we should see the iPhone 5se release because Apple is believed to introduce it in March.

There are rumors and Apple hasn’t confirmed the partnership with Energous. Predictions are made by expert Zach Epstein.

iPhone that can be charged wirelessly could be a win strategy. Who wouldn’t like to update to the ‘fruit’ smartphone that can be charged remotely? Is this something you wish to see soon?

iPhone 7 Chip Manufacturer Decreases Shipments

iPhone 7 chipset is believed to be produced by TSMC company. However recently the iPhone 7 chip manufacturer had to decrease shipments of the iPhone 6s / 6s Plus A9-series processors for Apple smartphones because of Taiwan earthquake [the company also experiences iPhone 6 error 53 bug].

According to TSMC, the earthquake caused the damage for one of its facilities and this forces the manufacturer to decrease the shipments by over 1 percent. Samsung is also producing processors for iPhone 6s line and Apple could ask this company to ship more while TSMC steps aside because of the new circumstances.

Apple A9 Chip iPhone 6s

Will the 6.4 magnitude earthquake have an impact on Apple long-term chipset production? TSMC has to indicate this by analyzing all the damage it got in Taiwan in February. The earthquake injured many people and caused 116 deaths.

At first, the company believed that it could restore most of its foundry machines within 2-3 days. But it seems that this wouldn’t work for all Fabs it has. Still TSMC is positive about its revenues because it still targets the U.S. $5.9-$6.0 billion revenue for Q1, 2016. The decrease in iPhone 6s chip shipments [find out what the most popular iPhone size is] shouldn’t affect these plans.

Apple is rumored to let TSMC produce all A10-series iPhone 7 processor parts and the earthquake shouldn’t have an impact on future iPhone supply. So the next iPhone 7 and 7 Plus should get their chipsets on time.

AT&T Testing iPhone 5G Network

iPhone 5G network will soon be offered instead of the current fast 4G LTE. AT&T is already testing the upcoming technology. According to rumors, the 5G should be 10-100 times faster than AT&T 4G. The wireless industry is getting prepared for big changes.

AT&T 5G network testing is officially confirmed by the U.S. carrier. The Big Blue carrier announced that it would start its tests on the new wireless technology in 2016. The mobile operator promises to begin more precise lab tests later this year, most likely in Q2. The field tests are expected to start in the summer.

AT&T iPhone 5G Network News

The future AT T 5G network for iPhone should be spectacular [you can still SIM unlock your AT&T iPhone 6s or any other model if you wish]. Numerous rumors suggest the speeds could be increased up to 100 times if compared to current 4G network. Of course, the reality will be known once the network becomes public which would not happen in 2016. Still consumers are promised to get gigabits per second instead of current megabits. This sounds very exciting.

Other U.S. companies are also starting to test 5G technologies. Verizon Wireless has also confirmed that its tests are to start this year. T-Mobile and Sprint would probably also show their interest in 5G soon. AT&T could roll out the 5G in 2020 and Verizon promises to offer the service sometimes in 2018. Still iPhone users who live in Austin (Texas) could access the fixed points of 5G and give it a try as soon as this year.

AT&T BOGO Free iPhone Deal 2016

You should sign up for AT&T if you are want to pick up an iPhone and get the second one at no cost. What are the caveats, you might wonder?

AT&T iPhone or T-Mobile iPhone / Sprint iPhone Lease?

What U.S. network should you choose? iPhone owners get multiple opportunities still all carriers have pros and cons. For example T-Mobile iPhone lease has become more expensive. The similar situation is with Sprint leasing program.

If you happen to already own AT&T iPhone you can SIM unlock it using permanent unlocking service. This is safe to do and you can connect to all networks once you are free from your original mobile operator. This is the real freedom as you are the one to select the best service, most affordable plans and other things you like.

iPhone T Mobile Sprint AT&T What Network to Choose

T Mobile lease iPhone price has silently been changed by the company. It is interesting that Sprint lease iPhone 6s program also gets the price hack. Users could be disappointed to learn this since the rates were revised without any notice.

If previously Sprint charged you $22 per month it would now ask for $26.39. T-Mobile used to charge $20 a month and would now ask you to pay $27. There were times when U.S. network T-Mobile let users lease the brand new iPhone 6s at $5 per month if you agreed to hand over your iPhone 6 [it’s worth to mention that iPhone 7 Plus is coming this year]. The same deal was even more attractive if you chose Sprint because you had to pay $1 monthly.

Such low prices couldn’t last forever. Analysts think that U.S. networks couldn’t afford such deals any longer. As for customers who are planning to lease a device now – they have to think twice. According to experts, if you pay $26.39 a month you’ll spend more within 12 months than if you buy the brand new smartphone at once. You’ll be at the break-even price at the 13-month for sure. No network will unlock your phone while you are on contract. SIM unlock will be your only choice.
