The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge already offer water resistance and wireless charging. So maybe we'll get upgrades like a water-resistant body or wireless charging. Nice, but you can already get those features on the current king of the smartphone hill, the Samsung Galaxy S7. And Apple needs the iPhone 7 to be a leapfrog product, not a parity product. That's exactly what analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities means when he says -- as quoted by 9to5Mac -- that he doesn't see "many attractive selling points for the iPhone 7."Certainly, Apple will come up with something, and use its unparalleled marketing muscle to convince everyone the new basket of features are must-have goodies. But the reality distortion field may be reaching its limits, too. Consider 3D Touch, the efficacy and implementation of which has recently been questioned by veteran Apple observers like Jason Snell and John Gruber. After all, no one seemed to lament the fact that the feature was dropped from the iPhone SE.
So, the iPhone 7 will have something of an uphill battle when it comes to cooking up a compelling feature list, But at least it'll all be wrapped up in a fancy new Jony Ive design, right?, Again, there's a problem: The iPhone can't really undergo a radical design change until it ace pro with unequal technology case for apple iphone x and xs - black/smoke figures out how to deal with that pesky home button, If you were to put a new iPhone -- a 6 or a 6S -- next to the original 2007 model, you'd see a lot of changes: a much bigger higher-resolution screen, a far better camera, and 4G wireless, just for starters, That's not counting Apple Pay, Siri and military-grade encryption with biometric security, to boot, And let's not forget the amazing App Store (which didn't debut until the second-gen iPhone 3G in 2008) or the selfie camera (which didn't show up until iPhone 4, in 2010)..
"Quantum leap" doesn't begin to describe how much better the iPhone has gotten. But look again: from another point of view, the designs of the oldest and newest iPhones are shockingly similar: a slab of glass with symmetrical top and bottom bezels. The "forehead" above the screen is the same size as the "chin" below -- and that lower one has to be big enough to encompass the home button. And until that home button changes, the bezels can't change. And until the bezels change, the iPhone design is pretty much locked in to that 2007 look and feel.
Notice a pattern? The iPhone 6S Plus, 6S and SE all have the same size bezels to accommodate the home button, Not only would reducing the bezel size give the iPhone a ace pro with unequal technology case for apple iphone x and xs - black/smoke much-needed makeover, it would also allow for a larger screen to be fitted into the same size body, The funny thing about the home button is that you don't even need it to navigate the iPhone anymore (as anyone who's ever turned on the accessibility options can tell you), And that aforementioned 3D Touch technology, despite its criticisms, could offer a home button alternative: a long press anywhere on the screen (or, say, on a thinner bottom bezel) could take you back to the home screen..
But the home button currently houses the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, the iPhone's top-notch security fence. It can change -- become a flat oval, as seen on Samsung and HTC phones, or a side-mounted sensor, like the Nextbit Robin; or it can move -- LG phones and the Nexus 6P have them on the back -- but it has to stay. In fact, there's a lot of evidence to suggest that Apple can put the fingerprint sensor behind the main screen. But, once again, the thought is that doing so is such a daunting engineering challenge that it won't be ready for a year or two. Which means you wouldn't see it less than five months from now.
