Rumor has it that the iPhone 7 will be equipped with these features: 5-inch screen and dual cameras

January 12, Apple has achieved great success in 2014, and it is preparing to release iPhone 7 this year. Although this product will not be released for another 9 months, rumors about it are already flying around, and the following are some rumors about iPhone 7 that we have collected.

OLED display

The latest market rumors say that both the Apple Watch and iPhone 7 will be equipped with larger displays. It is said that Apple has asked the contract manufacturer Foxconn to provide this technology. Foxconn is very important to Apple's supply chain and is also one of the most important contract manufacturers in East Asia. Foxconn has previously undertaken the production of a large number of Apple devices.

Rumor has it that the iPhone 7's display will be larger than the iPhone 6's, meaning it will be larger than 4.7 inches. According to people familiar with the matter, this means the iPhone 7 smartphone may be equipped with a 5-inch display with a resolution of 400ppi, and the images displayed on the screen will be clearer and sharper.

It is reported that Apple's upcoming smartwatch, Apple Watch, will also adopt this technology.

Curved screen

Curved screens are very popular now, and analysts believe that Apple will equip the iPhone 7 with a curved screen. Given that the media reported this week that Apple applied for a patent for a curved screen, the credibility of the curved screen is even higher.

In the past, Apple has always strived to create new trends in the smartphone market rather than follow them, and this is most evident in its devices. In fact, many industry insiders believe that the design and quality of Apple products are the basic guarantee for the company's huge success.

However, Samsung Electronics has widely promoted its curved-screen TVs, and it has already started making mobile devices with curved screens. Apple apparently sees this as a good opportunity.

Flexible screen

Apple may soon produce an iPhone with a flexible screen and foldable design, according to a patent application reported by the media this week. The media believes that the product may be released in early 2015, but it is not clear whether the technology will be applied to previous devices such as the iPhone 7.

It is not yet clear whether Apple will apply its patented flexible screen technology to other electronic devices.

Sapphire crystal

Before Apple released the iPhone 6, there were rumors about sapphire glass material, but Apple ultimately failed to apply this material to the iPhone 6.

But it still has a lot of sapphire glass in its warehouse, and it will obviously use these materials as soon as possible. This means that the iPhone 7 is likely to use this technology.

According to Taiwanese media reports, Foxconn is rapidly building a new display production plant dedicated to producing iPhone displays, which also means that the design of the iPhone will undergo fundamental changes.

Camera

There are two rumors about the iPhone 7 camera. The first is that the iPhone 7 camera will be greatly improved, and some analysts even believe that its camera may be increased to 21 million pixels. This seems unlikely, but it is possible to double the pixel of the iPhone 6 camera, which means that the iPhone 7 camera may reach 16 million pixels.

The second rumor is that Apple may equip future iPhones with dual-lens systems, starting with the iPhone 7. Some analysts, including John Gruber, have long held this view, saying that future iPhones will be able to take photos as well as some DSLR cameras.

release date

Apple used to release new flagship iPhones in September or October every year, but the release time of recent generations has been advanced. Based on this estimate, we are likely to see the iPhone 7 in September this year.

However, the situation with this generation of iPhone is a bit complicated, as some recent rumors suggest that Apple is about to release the iPhone 6s rather than the iPhone 7. Which product it is is still controversial, but Apple should have decided to release a relatively small iPhone to match the Apple Watch, so the release time is likely to be March or April.

price

Analysts believe that Apple will certainly freeze the price of the iPhone 7 when it is released later this year. The reason is that the iPhone 6 costs much more than its predecessors, and although its sales are stable and outstanding, it is very doubtful whether Apple will continue to increase the price of its flagship smartphone and maintain the current sales level. Therefore, when the iPhone 7 is officially released, its price is likely to not increase.
