Apple Inc. is said to be ready with its next smartphone, the iPhone 7, set to release in September. The release date is not a surprise as September has always been Apple's timetable for its new product launch.
Analyst Mr. Kuo of KGI Securities said that the Cupertino giant will begin production of iPhone 7 in the third quarter to hit a September release date.
The September release date conflicts against the rumor earlier this year, that the manufacturer is considering an early release date. Apple has kept its September launch for years, and that report met some resistance. Mr. Kuo has been saying that Apple will launch a 4-inch iPhone in the Q1 2016 and the rumors for an earlier iPhone 7 launch could also be possible.
For this time, one can assume that Apple will have a September 2017 release date. Though there are still no details for the next iPhone specs and tech enthusiasts are curious what Apple has to impress the world this time.
According to Learnbonds, the Apple iPhone 7 specs seen so far, are not spectacular. Kuo said Apple will shrink the size to 6 or 6.55mm while the iPhone 6s is 7.1mm thick. Many expect the phone will have the A10 processor in its internals, and Apple is also planning to boost graphics power on the device, a chip that will likely be built by TSMC.
With iPhone 7, Apple could change its center and front but the changes must be big. Piper Jaffry's Gene Munster speculated that there is a 50 percent possibility Apple will remove the Home button.
The 3D Touch might also be present, the display will have more resolution and the RAM will increase.
For now, there is no information as to what "impressive" specs the iPhone 7 will have as everything known so far about the device are just within the normal flow. The Aplle iPhone 7 will surely be different and must have something so people will have a strong reason to buy it. However, for now it is not known yet what that killer feature is.
As in an investor's point of view, InvestorPlace said that while the Apple iPhone has been in many ways a definitive phone on the market, its stock in Wall Street seems stable but not sparkling. Its stock relies on the constant upgrade cycle to power its growth, and this approach to growth will continue next year.
