Apple Unlikely to Make Big Changes for Next iPhone
The next iPhone isn't going to look much different from the last year's iPhone 6s, or 2014's iPhone 6. According to a WSJ report (paywalled; alternate source), Apple will release two new iPhone models with screen sizes 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch, and both the models will look pretty much similar to the last two year's models. There won't be any 3.5mm headphone port in the new iPhone, though, the report adds. The Cupertino-based company plans to introduce major design changes in its next iPhone, using OLED display and eliminating the home button to use the display for fingerprint scanning. From the report: For years, Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive has expressed a desire for the iPhone to appear like a single sheet of glass, according to people familiar with the matter. The current design ideas for the 2017 iPhones are expected to push the handsets in that direction by eliminating much of the bezel around the display, with the OLED screen.
Apple is releasing a new product with little to no changes compared to the previous model, and yet still expects people to shell out hundreds of dollars for the new version? Sounds like they've finally figured out their customer base! Steve Jobs would be so proud ...
So you are saying that 256GB should be enough for everyone?
Captain: "Siri, how many times have the Romulans violated the neutral zone?"
Siri: "The Romans were from Italy and had big noses. Here are some results I found for 'Romans" on the web"
His Steviness the Jobs didn't make Apple what it is by doing the same thing over and over again.
Be bold! Make the corners pointed. Heck, stick bloody great spikes on them! Or even make them in black!
