More rumors have been circulating regarding Apple’s iPhone 7. It will likely be redesigned, and will come with an S model like it’s three prior models. The iPhone 7 will hopefully be released in 2016, with some major changes that will set it apart from the rest of the phones in Apple’s roster.
Rumors Say the Phone Will Come with Wireless Charging
The first few buzzes call for wireless charging on the new iPhone 7. Much like Samsung, Apple is expected to release a charging dock for their phones to optimize charging and eliminate the faults of cable charging. It’s likely that the charger will be universal to only Apple devices.
There’s also word that it will feature multi-touch 3D touch. 3D touch is freshly introduced in the iPhone 6S, but it will be advanced so that users can set certain commands to return to the home screen or go backwards on a page. One of the most remarkable rumors is that the iPhone 7 will feature fingerprint recognition directly from the display. Apple already has registered patents for it, and will make the home button obsolete. It’s likely that this isn’t rolled out in the iPhone 7, but it’s a definite possibility for future generations.
The iPhone 7 Could Feature Two Rear Cameras
Leaksters are predicting that the brand new iPhone will come with dual read cameras. This would make them able to use optical zoom. This is one of the more likely rumors. The next Samsung Galaxy is expected to come with a 20-megapixel camera, so it is likely that Apple is prepared to compete in that respect.
One of the more interesting rumors is that the phone will become the first to come with a reversible USB Type-C port. This would replace Apple’s Lightning connector and make it analogous with Macbooks. Having a more universal connection unit might be beneficial for Apple, as users will only need one charger for all devices.
Apple Could Also Bring in Split Screen Multitasking
Another big rumor says that the new iPhone will feature split-screen multitasking, which is already present in certain Android devices. This would make basic tasks a lot easier to handle. If the iPhone 7 features a screen similar to the iPhone 6S in size, this would optimize usage.
All in all, there are a lot of solid opportunities that Apple can take with the iPhone 7. It’s yet to be seen if any of them come to fruition.
