Apple's iPhone 7 is one of the most-anticipated smartphones that are reported to be launched this 2016. However, new reports claimed that the upcoming Apple smartphone could not make it to its planned Fall 2016 release.
Rumor mills are spreading that iPhone 7 is set to be launched on Sept. 2016, despite Apple keeping things under wraps until now. Basing on the previous release dates of its predecessors, Apple fans are convinced that iPhone 7 will finally be unveiled this fall, Bustle shared.
However, on Monday, Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI claimed that a bigger iPhone will be launched in 2017. Since it is said to include larger screen, OLED and biometric authentication features, several fans speculated that this could be the upcoming iPhone 7. This then sparked rumors that the iPhone 7 release date had been pushed back.
Previous reports suggest that there could be some delay in the launching of the iPhone 7 due to the 6.6-magnitude earthquake that hit Taiwan on April 2015. The said tremor has caused damages to the TSMC factories, Apple's sole supplier and manufacturer of the A10 chip for the iPhone 7, Mac World informed.
While the release date for the iPhone 7 remains unknown as of yet, several reports have been spreading details as to what Apple fans should expect from the upcoming smartphone. Like the iPhone 6s and iPhone SE, Apple fans have high expectations for iPhone 7.
While its body is said to be comparable to the iPhone 6s, reports also claimed that it will be as thin as 6.1 millimeter, making it the thinnest iPhone yet. Reports have it that iPhone 7 will go back to the all-glass style, just like the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. Since it will be made of glass from the front to the back, iPhone 7 is said to look smoother and sharper than iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, which are made out of aluminum.
As for its display, iPhone 7 is expected to a have a 5.8-inch slightly curved glass interface that stretches all the way across the anterior of the phone. Another feature that excites fans is the absence of the 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, which Apple has reportedly addressed by introducing a Bluetooth-enabled headphones that will be called Airpods.
Another interesting feature of iPhone 7 is the LiFi. Apple is said to be the very first company to introduce the LiFi feature to a smartphone. For starters, LiFi, which uses visible light communication (VLC), is a brand new wireless standard that is 100x faster than the traditional WiFi. Additionally, iPhone 7 is said to end the 16 GB storage capacity.
