A new report has been issued by the firm
market analysisKGI Securities via its renowned specialist Ming-Chi
Kuo. It was revealed byApple Insiderand reports
new features that could be integrated into the next Apple iPhone of 2017. It is
notably question of aedge-to-edge OLED screen, two
variations, 4.7 and 5.5 inches, and a constructionin glass with
different metal finishesdepending on the model:
Kuo, always close to subcontractors, provides important information
on the robot portrait of the iPhone 2017. According to him, and as this had
already reported before, on the next iPhone, Touch ID,
Home button, the front speaker and the FaceTime camera will be placed
behind the front window. Also, the screen would no longer be
LCD, more
OLEDedge to edge.
Regarding the construction of the iPhone, the glass is confirmed by KGI
Securities. Moreover, while initially, only the Plus model was planned
for an all-glass construction, it is the success of the iPhone in black
but who would have pushed Apple to offer next year,both
iPhone 8, 4.7, and 5.5-inch all-glass models.
This glass would be accompanied by metal for the frame of the case. About it,
Apple could continue in line with the iPhone 7, namely,
offer a different finish for high-end models
range. The jet black of the latest iPhones is indeed
only available for 128 and 256 GB capacities.
Thus, the frame of the box would be inaluminum for models
entry levelof iPhone 8 andstainless steel for
high-end models, Plus version and large capacities. This steel
stainless steel provides additional strength, a gain in resistance, but is
more expensive to produce.
Thus, still according to Kuo, we would have something similar to the range
of Apple Watch, with the Sport model and its aluminum case and the models
Classic and Edition and their stainless steel case.
The 2017 version of the iPhone is in any caseparticularly
expected, given that it will be a question of celebrating the 10 years of existence of the
Apple smartphone. No one doubts that Tim Cook had the idea of
mark the occasionwith significant changes.
