The least we can say
is thatrumors on the 2017 cuvée of the iPhone does not
do not lack. Whether oral indiscretions or now
Diagrams, it is not always easy to navigate. In addition, we cannot
grant all sources the same level of confidence.
But if there is one who won his stripes on the Apple scene, it's good
Mark Gurman. This young reporter from 9to5mac to the leading media
Us Bloomberg has thus been able to anticipate many new features
Apple in recent years. His latest article returns to the planned iPhone
For 2017. Without bringing real scoop, it has the interest of confirming what
recently heard a useful summary for those who have not followed
many recent acts on the subject.
We will not resume
All the details of the article available hereBecause most were mentioned
Inour indiscretions iPhone 8 in recent
weeks, but here is a synthetic list of what to remember from
the 2017 range, knowing that these elements have been verified with sources that
we know close to Apple:
- 3 new iPhone models are planned
- 2 will be improvements in the current range: iPhone 7S and 7S
Plus - the other will be a "high -end" model, the big novelty of
The year. - This model will have a steel frame and a slightly rounded front side without
Propose a curved display like that of the Galaxy S8. Various profile tests
have been produced by Apple in recent months. - The screen will occupy a majority of the front side, allowing to have a ratio
Maximum screen/machine. Result, a size close to that of iPhone 7 for a
Screen larger than that of the iPhone 7 Plus! - This iPhone should be designed as the iPhone 4/4S, namely with a framework
(steel) which holds a round glass screen on the front and a rear in
glass - a less ambitious version with aluminum rear and dimensions
less reduced has also been tested - The Home button will be integrated into the screen
- This new high -end iPhone will use an OLED screen while both
iPhone 7/7S will keep an LCD screen this year (technology currently
Used by Apple on its smartphones) - The publication comes back on the difficulty concerning the integration of a
fingerprint sensor under the glass of the front face. At this point we don't know
What solution will be chosen: front or rear for the Touch ID. - The iPhone "8" as already seen, will have reduced availability, due to
Delicate production (Editor's note: as every year, worse?) - The rear photo/video cell should be double but arranged
vertically to improve the quality of the photos on the iPhone 8 model. A
doubt as to the presence of a double sensor in the front side remains. - The three models were tested with a new processor engraved in 10
Nanometer instead of the current 16 (space gain, energy efficiency)
Where we seem to be on the 2017 range, therefore there are a few
uncertainties linked to the different Apple prototypes, but the robot portrait
Of the three models now seems quite precise and stabilized.
