[Rumor] Iphone 7 to be dust/water proof. New casing and completly flat lcd.

[-DMP-]

While the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus only just became available this past week , rumors surrounding next year's flagship from Apple are already starting to surface. A pair of postings on Chinese social networking site Weibo first spotted by Macotakara claim that the iPhone 7, or whatever it may be called, will feature several design changes that are a significant departure from the past few years of iPhone releases…








The first Weibo posting claims that the iPhone 7 will feature a waterproof and dustproof design. Several flagship Android devices already carry this added layer of protection, so it would make sense for Apple to add it to its own flagship phones. The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus don't technically feature a waterproof design, but early tests have shown that the phones are significantly better at handling water than previous generation iPhones.

Another Weibo post goes on to claim that the iPhone 7 will feature a new casing material, meaning that the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are the last iPhones that will feature a metallic frame. It's unclear what that new material may be, but it is said that Apple has already developed the first prototype of the device.

Finally, rumors claim that the iPhone 7 will feature a “completely flat” LCD panel. What exactly that means is unclear at this point, but it's definitely something worth noting.

These rumors should all be taken with a grain of salt, especially seeing that we are an entire year away from the announcement and release of the iPhone 7. Nevertheless, we can expect the iPhone 7 to be a relatively major upgrade, assuming Apple follows its normal pattern of major design changes every other year.

Rumor Roundup: iPhone 7 to feature new casing material, water and dustproof design

It's a year from release like you said.....But I'm sure hardware prototypes are already being cooked up. They start production in like May or June 2016. They need to have the phone completed well before then

Like I said take it with a grain of salt

Like I said take it with a grain of salt

i don't see why not... if lifeproof can make fully waterproof cases for fukking ipads... not to mention every phone... and sell them for 99 bucks..........

i'm pretty sure apple is figuring a way to get in on that themselves... with a price hike of course

I'm not saying its impossible but I'm just saying this early in the rumour mill, sometimes people just throw out shyt to get hits etc.

Phones are already thin enough. At a certain point they are so thin it's uncomfortable to hold.

What Apple needs to do is to implement multi-window(so then they need to think of putting in more ram/better ram management) and fast charging

THEN i'll go back to Apple!

But yeah, dust/water proof is cool too....

 

[beenz]

well while we're at it, how do we know the iphone 7 won't have solar powered charging as well
