Apple Phone Rumors About A 256 GB Internal Memory Leaks, Alongside Massive Battery Sie Of

The most interesting news about the new Apple flagships for 2016 include talks about a water resistant body and a replacement to the 3.5 mm jack.  According to Kuo, the smaller device will have a metal casing, rather than the plastic seen on the iPhone 5c, but will be missing key features from the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus , with 3D Touch being singled out. In line with most other predictions, Kuo also expects Apple to release a successor to both the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, maintaining the respective 4.7in and 5.5in screen sizes. For the past five years, Apple has revealed a new iPhone in autumn and, since the iPhone 5, this unveiling has taken place on either the Tuesday or Wednesday of the second week of September. In the UK, the device has normally gone on sale 10 days later, with the exception of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which went on sale just six days after launch. Given this pattern, and the fact the iPhone 7 will be a totally new model, not just an 's' update, we expect the so-called Special Event to take place on 13 or 14 September, with the iPhone 7 on sale in the UK on 23 or 24 September. The iPhone 6 was priced from £539 SIM-free at launch, including VAT, as was the iPhone 6s, while the entry-level iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s Plus both cost £619. As inflation has remained at 0.1 per cent, and any rise mid-year is expected to reach a maximum of 1.5 per cent, we would expect the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to cost roughly the same as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s, give-or-take £10. An iPhone 7 mini would likely cost around £100 less than the iPhone 7 at entry-level, based on the price difference between the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. Predicting the future of the iPhone has become a full-time, year-round sport, and we present here a curated collection of the most intriguing gossip about Apple's next big thing. Editors' note: This story was originally posted on December 14, 2015 and last updated on January 12, 2016. The 6S and 6S Plus were unveiled on September 9 and hit store shelves on September 25, and we have every reason to expect the next major update to come around the time that kids head back to school in 2016. Though no official invitations have been made yet, however, the company's next big event is rumored to be scheduled for March 2016. And while it's possible we could also see a new iPhone early in 2016, that would more likely be the rumored iPhone 6C - an updated small iPhone to replace the aging iPhone 5S sitting at the bottom of Apple's current lineup. One of the more interesting iPhone 7 predictions involves a move away from the physical home button. As CNET reported earlier , recent iPhone innovations - specifically the pressure-sensitive 3D Touch screen and increasing always-on hands-free functionality of Siri - have diminished the need for it, and that a buttonless iPhone would be a natural move for a company with such a strong preference for clean lines and simple design. One of the most most widely speculated upon topics to date involves the connectivity standards the iPhone 7 will support. The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus both come equipped with NFC to enable the contactless Apple Pay system. The iPhone 6S is a red-hot performer, showing off the improved speed of its new A9, 64-bit dual-core processor, enhanced Wi-Fi antennas, and faster Touch ID sensor. And as each successive iPhone generation is expected to deliver improved speed, we expect to see an A10 chip powering the iPhone 7. Likewise, just as the 6S and 6S Plus got a bump in RAM from 1GB to 2GB, it's not unreasonable to expect to see an iPhone 7 that comes equipped with 4GB of RAM. Many sources reported that there would be a significant step up in quality with the iPhone 6S's camera. Perhaps we will see this enhanced feature trickle down to the non-Plus model with the iPhone 7. The SanDisk Connect app handles the transfers using password-protected connectivity and it even supports Live Photos taken on the new iPhone 6s models. IPhone lens accessory maker olloclip has announced their olloclip Studio rail mounting accessory case for iPhone 6/6s and iPhone 6/6s Plus devices. Hyundai will offer CarPlay in its 2016 Sonata sometime in the first quarter of 2016, says a report today from the Detroit Free Press. Chinese wireless carrier China Mobile expects Apple to release a new 4-inch iPhone 7c sometime in April. That's the indication from an event held by the carrier to discuss its plans for 2016. Stick it on the back of your iPhone or iPad, and your device stays securely attached to your finger. In this case, the doom report comes from Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty who predicts that iPhone sales will drop for the first time ever in 2016. In particular, she thinks iPhone sales will decline by nearly 6 percent in the 2016 financial year, or 2.9 percent in the 2016 calendar year. Back in August, Pacific Crest argued that current iPhone sales are unrepeatable” and investors must be ready for a drop-off sometime in 2016. Respected Apple analyst KGI Securities' Ming-Chi Kuo also thinks we'll see a year-on-year iPhone sales decline for this year's holiday season. While there's no way the company can continue expanding its iPhone business indefinitely, I think that the astonishing success of the iPhone 6s, a major new iPhone launch in 2016, promising new markets like India, and Apple's iPhone upgrade program means next year should be another one to remember. Windows phone 12 Pro running windows phone version 13.5.2.0 with octocore snapdragon processor at 8 ghz, 16 gigs of ram, and 256 storage, will make a storming comeback and kill iphone sales in one fell swoop!!! IPhone is now NINE year old tech, Everything APPL has relies on this ancient tech. What you're saying about the iPhone could have easily been said about Windows OS after Windows XP was introduced. The only sure thing for 2016 is that analysts will continue to predict the demise of the iPhone. Next year is the big change” year (not an S model) with the iPhone 7, and with another record year in 2015 with an incremental upgrade (iPhone 6s), it's not slowing down just yet. I spent 15 minutes in my local cafe and saw another 50 macs plus numerous iPhone 6s 6s plus ! In any case, even if iPhone sales decline (unlikely), it certainly won't be because they don't have the highest rate of adoption of all other cell phones. And these often disconnected number crunchers would like to think otherwise, stellar iPhone sales are not crucial to Apple's continued success. Simply put, it just means people may not buy iPhone as often as before, and that's… okay. We have already started hearing about the Apple's upcoming iPhone 6C. Finally, we have some news close to the truth. Keving Wang who works for the Analytics Company IHS has stated his surmise that Apple is planning to launch the budget-friendly iPhone 6C by the middle of 2016. From different rumors and speculations we came to know that the new iPhone 6C is reportedly expected to be a kind of refresh of the long launched iPhone 5C. We cannot be so sure about Wang's projection because he announced the same kind of news back in August, but that didn't happen. The geek mind wants to know of course also what the latest discoveries in science are and the latest technology news. The major upgrade in the specifications include the use of latest A9 processor, as in the flagship iPhone 6s, and the near field communication (NFC) technology that will allow Apple Pay transactions. While it is not expected to offer the latest force sensing 3D Touch capabilities, Mr. Kuo however, expects it to feature 2.5D” cover glass or may be a slightly curved glass, as seen in the latest iPhone 6s. The new upgrade will likely have the same camera specifications as the iPhone 5s, which had 8MP iSight camera and 1.2MP front camera. While the latest iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are both priced over $600, analyst Kuo has predicted the new iPhone 6c to be priced around $400-500. Furthermore, the analyst has predicted around 20 million unit shipments for the full year that accounts for about 9% of the total iPhone sales. Notably, the early 2016 launch time frame is unusual for Apple, as it normally launches its iPhones in September. This early launch is likely to help iPhone suppliers ensure a smooth components supply. While the next-gen iPhone 7 is expected to launch in September, the suppliers will have ample time to focus on the assembling of the flagship product. The Korean tech giant has postponed its Galaxy S7 launch to January so that it could cut sales of the iPhone 7 and benefit from the early launch. IPhone 6c may be a move to compete and break sales for the Galaxy S7, while creating room for the flagship iPhone 7 to be launched later. Though the current news is just a rumor for now, but it is important to note that Mr. Kuo has a strong record to predict Apple launches. The analyst have previously made accurate assumptions regarding the latest iPhone 6s and the new iPad Pro. The latest news if successful, will likely result in an interesting competition between the two rivals, and simultaneously benefit the general population. Talk of the iPhone 7c, if that's what it is called, has surfaced a few times in the past couple of months but recently bigger and more reliable sources, like The Telegraph , are chiming in with their respective 2 cents. While not exactly cheap by Android standards, the iPhone 5c, a £429 phone, was the perfect gateway handset for many floating users in 2013/14 — it introduced around 20 million new users to Apple's ecosystem and if history tells us anything, Apple will retain most of these, converting them onto bigger and better things. A new report from TrendForce claims Apple's iPhone 7 will be water-proof, a feature many Android handsets have had for for a long time. Beyond this TrendForce reckons Apple will radically alter the design and finish of the handset and also include more RAM, perhaps as much as 3GB, as well as a third handset called the iPhone 7c. The major selling points of the next iPhone will be 3GB memory for the 5.5-inch model and waterproof feature, again, likely only on the larger model. TrendForce reckons Samsung will finish 2016 with 22% of the global smartphone market in 2016, down considerably from this year's performance. But then again Samsung could WOW us all with its Samsung Galaxy S7 range, which is expected to launch in Q1 2016. And it'd better be pretty damn impressive too because if Apple's iPhone 7 is anyway near as successful as the iPhone 6 then Samsung and every other player in the mobile space will seriously have their work cut out for them in 2016/17. Here's KYM's wishlist for the iPhone 7, a basic outline of what we'd like to see included inside the iPhone, developments we believe would make the handset better and a bunch of specs and features we'd like Apple to implement. Sapphire is the second most scratch resistant material next to diamond and it was rumored that a sapphire display was set to make it into the iPhone 6. But then Apple had problems with GT Advanced and the only sapphire that made it onto the iPhone 6 was the glass covering its rear iSight camera. But given that sapphire will be covering the Apple Watch and that its so much more durable than any display any smartphone has ever had we're hopeful Apple will finally be adding it to the iPhone 7. This could be THE killer feature of the iPhone 7. Wireless charging has come a long way in the last few years and it would be killer if Apple introduced it on the next iPhone. It's doubtful that if Apple does add wireless charging to the next iPhone it would use any kind of conduction pad. Apple's U.S. Patent No. 8,645,604 for ‘Device orientation based docking functions' describes a method in which a portable device, such as an iPhone or iPad, can change docking behaviours as a function of its orientation with a host device or position on a wireless inductive charging mat,” reports Apple Insider. Being able to wake up in the morning and not have to plug in your iPhone once before getting home would be amazing. IPhone 6s Plus users, well, those that don't ride the phablet too hard, have had their first taste of what all-day battery life is like in practice. Anyone who buys a 16GB iPhone is pretty much going to fill it up once they download a couple apps, a few games, and take a few hundred photos. Forget about it. Here's hoping the iPhone 7 starts at a reasonable 32GB of storage for the base model. Also, the iPhone 6s now includes 2GB of RAM, but by the end of 2016, that will be rather paltry looking compared to the 4GB+ of RAM found in most Android handsets. We'd LOVE to see Apple do this to the iPhone 7. No, we don't expect to be able to go scuba diving with it, but it would be great it we could feel comfortable using it near the pool or even outdoors in the rain without worrying that we're one drop of H20 away from ruining our £500 phone. And according to reports from TrendForce THIS is what Apple is looking to bring to its iPhone 7 Plus, alongside 3GB of RAM and a heavily updated camera. Given that the screen of the iPhone 6s Plus, and even the iPhone 6s, is big enough for serious stylus work, it would be great to see Apple support the Pencil in the iPhone 7. Apple: Nikkei reported that Apple cut its supply-chain orders for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus by 30%. March quarter FY 2016: 61,170,000 (this will be the year-ago quarter Apple will report against next, probably in April 2016). And all these analysts say the long-term outlook for the company is rosy — once Apple gets through the iPhone 7 upgrade cycle, its loyal customers will come back in heaps. Despite significant and credible concern about iPhone unit declines in the 6s cycle, management was adamant that units would grow in its FQ4 (Sept.) conference call. To our fault, we read management's commentary as an indicator that underlying demand in countries that are difficult to track was much stronger than we expected and would allow Apple to sustain a higher level of ongoing iPhone sales than we thought. In the Sep quarter, new customers as a percentage of iPhone 6 sales were an impressive 53% in China, 21% in the US, 19% in the UK, and 28% in Germany.
