Apple removed the "Mute"button on the iPhone 7

Apple removed the "Mute"button on the iPhone 7-Discovered the Dutch website "TechTastic" has the photos. Two characteristics of the housing to fall for that. For one, the photos show a housing, which does not have the button to mute of your phone. Only the buttons for the volume are on the left side of the housing. The iPhone 6s and its predecessors, the slide switch with which the user can mute the iPhone sits in.

On the other hand clearly three adjacent round depressions along the bottom edge of the iPhone to see that are smart connector of the iPad Pro same. Long, insiders believe that the plus version of the iPhone 7 could get this connection. Apple has introduced smart the connector with the iPad Pro, it serves to connect accessories and charging cable.

So the iPhone 7 might look like
Quite possible that Apple could dispense with the "Mute"button to mute for cost reasons. The switch was however still to be seen on other photos, which should also show the iPhone 7. It could be the new images simple manipulations.

New in-ear headphones of iPhone 7

Also on Weibo, several photos were published, which purported to show the new in-ear headphones of iPhone 7 connected to the lightning. Journalist Steve Hemmerstoffer, who is known for good contacts to Apple suppliers, speculates that the photos could be real, because they show the headphones from many different angles. It could be photographed model but also a prototype, which is not implemented.


+++ iPhone 7 with new high end display +++

7 July 2016: Apple wants to significantly improve the colour appearance of the iPhone 7 according to the US technology blog a. Insider. The technology introduced with the iPad per 9.7 "Wide Color" to make this possible. Apple wants to end up like once with the introduction of the "retina" so a similar coup-displays.

"Wide Color" there was initially on the iMac computers, and then click the small iPad Pro. The technology ensures lush green and crisp red in the image display. The entire color representation is more vivid and realistic.

The technique of "Wide color gamut (WCG)", so the name in full, the display can represent a much wider Farbspekturm because it uses a different background lighting. Conventional LCD display backlight provides only a limited color gamut.

iPhone 7 true tone

Apple could even a second technology already introduced by the iPad Pro 9.7 in the iPhone 7 fit: true tone. Here, sensors analyzes the brightness and color of the ambient light and customized image display according to. Thus the representation on the display should look like at every kind of lighting very faithfully.

+++ New notes on an iPhone 7 Pro +++

June 29, 2016: In the Chinese Twitter equivalent "Weibo" a list has surfaced, which shows the prices for the iPhone 7 allegedly. Should she be real, she would already older rumors confirm that Apple will offer the next iPhone in three variants.

The list, which is to come from an Apple supplier, allegedly shows the Chinese prices for three models of iPhone 7. In addition to the two previous sizes 4.7 inches for the iPhone plus it should be 7 and 5.5 inches for the iPhone 7 therefore still give an iPhone Pro, reported the US blog "pocketnow".

This could then a special equipped with, for example, a dual camera and the one introduced by the iPad Pro smart connector. These are a special connector for charging and accessories.

New storage options at the iPhone 7

On all models, there will be changes in the memory sizes. While the iPhone 7 either sold memory with 32, 64 or 256 GB, iPhone 7 are's where plus and iPhone 7 Pro 32, 128 and 256 GB storage space be. The iPhone 6 models exist in storage sizes of 16, 64 and 128 GB.

Converted into euro prices rounded up so would look like:

Model / memory 32 GB 128 GB 256 GB
iPhone 7 €710 €815 €949
iPhone 7 €815 €922 €1056 plus
iPhone 7 Pro €949 €1056 €1190
Considering that all cost iPhone 6 models in China approximately 40 euros of less than in Germany, so German prices for that are likely to go smallest iPhone 7 at around 750 euros, the most expensive Pro model might cost about 1200 euros. The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 plus would despite more memory then as much cost as the predecessor.

+++ 'Wall Street Journal': new iPhone without headphone +++

23 June 2016: The upcoming iPhone 7 may be without Jack for headphones. There are the rumors for quite some time, now, that reported that "Wall Street Journal" and refers to "informed individuals".

Thus, the iPhone should be thin and waterproof, the report says. Headphones could connect instead by the lightning port or Bluetooth adapter to the device. Already the previous rumors during the charge, it was not consumer-friendly, if users no longer simply can plug their headphones in the new models.

Otherwise the usual every two years great renewal of the iPhone series will stay this time continued the newspaper. The next model in the autumn, there should be externally only minor changes compared to the current devices. Some analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI securities had previously predicted this.

In the coming year an overhaul on the iPhone then stand. Amongst others, Apple could thereby renounce on the typical home button and integrate the fingerprint sensor directly into the display glass. The screen could fill the entire area without the previous frame. New technologies but need time and will still work on the design of the next iPhone, it said.

+++ Wireless technology from Intel gets the iPhone 7 +++

13 June 2016: Apple reportedly equips the iPhone 7 with wireless technology from Intel and thus refers to the LTE chips not only by his longtime supplier Qualcom. The economic news agency "Bloomberg" reports that.

According to the message Apple should have commissioned itself decided and there a large amount of LTE radio chips for Intel as additional manufacturers. These are to be incorporated in the iPhone-7 models, which are designed for the mobile operator AT & T in the United States. The Intel chips should be used also for "some foreign markets".

The LTE chips intended to be incorporated in the iPhone 7 variants, which are meant for the provider Verizon continue to by Qualcom. And also in China, the home country of the manufacturer Qualcom, whose radio chips should be used. According to Bloomberg, Apple would break its dependence on one supplier with the deal with Intel. Apple uses multiple suppliers in other components.

+++ Might look like the iPhone 7 +++

10 June 2016: there are many, but only a few pictures rumors about the iPhone 7. The designer Martin Hayek has now enshrined in everything that has been reported about the iPhone 7 and iPhone Pro. His 3D renderings show how Apple's upcoming smartphones will most likely look like.

The iPhone 7 almost indistinguishable from its predecessor will differ visually, that's for sure as well. The unofficial reports are correct the analog headphone jack falls away, the antenna Strip walking on the outside of the housing. More speaker openings than before will also find on the bottom. All in all the only small beauty enhancements. The iPhone Pro, there will be allegedly but still a striking change: the double camera.

So far there were only technical drawings or poorly resolved images of components of the Chinese production halls. The graphics by the Dutchman Martin Hayek (martinhayek.com) provide a better picture. To see how it looks in our photo slideshow.

One year ago the designer Yasser Fahad (www.ovalpicture.com) turned thoughts already to the look of the iPhone 7. He has created its own computer images of the iPhone 7, and suspects that the iPhone 7 will again thinner and lighter than its predecessor.

The iPhone 7 could be a real memory giant

7 June 2016: Market researchers "TrendForce" want to know that Apple will greatly increase the memory iPhone 7. So to get the next Apple Smartphone 256 gigabytes of internal memory and three gigabytes of memory. The reason for this is supposedly the planned dual camera.

After analysis of TrendForce, a Marktforschrungsunternehmen specialized in high-tech, the memory capacity, in particular of the amount of data to be owed, which could cause the double camera. Long is the speech, aimed at making videos in 4 k resolution in addition to high-resolution photos from an iPhone-7 camera with two lenses and two camera sensors.

The three GB to upgrade the performance of the iPhone 7 memory, so photo - and video recordings can be processed faster. The internal memory with a capacity of 256 GB is designed to provide appropriate space. According to TrendForce but, it could be that only buyers of the big iPhone 7 plus to enjoy of this memory expansion come. Because only the double camera should be provided.

+++ New photos to show that iPhone 7 +++

24 may 2016: The Chinese equivalent of Facebook and Twitter photos were published on again, which purported to show the iPhone 7. It should be to the rear of the smaller model. This is in contrast to the iPhone 7 plus no dual camera.

For several months, there are indications that Apple will make a few cosmetic corrections on the design of the iPhone. The two antenna strips that change the back on the iPhone 6 s still well visible cross over, are migrated when the alleged iPhone 7 on the part of the Smartphone. Also the camera lens is located closer to the edge. The protruding part of the lens is striking — many iPhone fans hoped Apple would choose a variant with the iPhone 7, which is flush with the housing.

+++ Surfaced alleged construction plans of the iPhone 7 +++

May 12th, 2016: From Asia two drawings are surfaced, iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 plus to show that. The plans after Apple could actually abolish when two smartphones the headphone jack. You show yet another interesting detail.

The plans are supposedly from the Apple supplier "Catcher" and have been played to the journalist Steve Hemmerstoffer. Both the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 plus is on the drawings no Jack for the headphone jack to see. Should they be real, Apple is probably actually use the lightning-connector for the headphones.


To see it is also will be the dual camera is already longer speculation about that, plus reserved only the iPhone 7. It's not really surprising, because already now, the cameras in the two models of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus differ.

Contrary to conflicting rumors from the past week at least the iPhone 7 plus with one should be equipped smart connector, the Special connector for charging and accessories. The drawings also show that the camera still protrudes from the casing of the iPhone.

+++ iPhone 7 gets no smart connector +++

May 11, 2016: Since Apple with the iPad Pro the "smart connector" Connector for charging and accessories has introduced, also speculated that even the iPhone 7 could get this connection. Apple should have chosen however.

The smart connector connects the iPad Pro the tablet with an external keyboard. Various Apple fan blogs had claimed in recent months that Apple will introduce the magnetic connection even when the iPhone 7.

From the Japanese website "Mac Otakara" the blog "Apple Insider" has learned now claims that Apple is against the smart connector says

The technology blog interprets these findings so that its next Smartphone the Apple does not overly high value on an increased battery endurance, for that increase the capacity of the batteries is to minimal - they would keep only the level of previous models, but not to bid. Apple instead put the focus in the design of the iPhone 7 on a thinner body.

+++ Technical drawing should show the iPhone 7 Pro +++

29 April 2016: A technical drawing to show the iPhone 7 nor the iPhone 7 s - but the iPhone 7 Pro. The supposedly authentic document reveals the size of the next Apple smartphones. Once again are indications that the classic headphone jack is missing.

The drawing has released the Japanese magazine "Mac Fan". It shows the "iPhone 7 Pro" from all sides. The size and shape of the case should be comparable with the iPhone 6 s. On the bottom, no headphone jack is to see - which would confirm previous messages to the iPhone 7.

The oval hole in the upper edge of the rear side of the housing points once again to the double camera. The three connection points at the lower edge of the back, which would mean that Apple smart wants to insert the connector from the iPad Pro iPhone 7 are clearly visible.

Drawing reveals accurate measurements

According to the drawing, the iPhone 7 Pro in depth will measure 7.3 millimeters. Thus, it would be just as thick as the iPhone 6s and 0.2 millimeters thicker than the iPhone 6. If the data in the drawing, the missing 3.5 millimeter headphone jack can not be established with the new housing. So far, several bloggers and media had believed that the socket is omitted because the upcoming iPhone could be thinner. The analog headphone jack is the Smartphone manufacturers have long been a thorn in the side.

+++ a glass enclosure gets iPhone 7s allegedly +++

April 27, 2016: The S model could differ from future iPhone 7 a glass back from its predecessor. Notes that Apple is planning a Smartphone for 2017, front and rear consisting of glass condense.

IPhone to get an another case until 2017, while iPhone 7, which is expected for September, no changes on the housing should be made. It reported the fan blog 9to5Mac"", citing "KGI securities", a Thai business analysts, which was often right in the past.

The glass case was a unique selling proposition last when the iPhone 4. Why Apple will return again to this material, explained Chief Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of kgis, now Apple's competitors to make mobile phones made of aluminium which closely resemble the iPhone 6 and the current iPhone 6 s.

+++ Apple ordered AMOLED displays +++

Kuos accept of a return to the glass case with metal frame is supported also by news that Apple has ordered huge amounts of OLED displays in the 5.5-inch format.

17 April 2016: Apple should have given 100 million AMOLED displays for 2017 at Samsung in order, the blog "Sammobile" reported. The reason: OLED displays for mobile devices are now cheaper than LCD panels. So, Apple could save costs. If that should come true, a change of direction in Tim Cook would have taken place also. Because even 2013, he railed on the technology: OLED was "awful" - so "horrible" or "terrible".

The merits and drawbacks of OLED over LCD can accurately argue. Both techniques have evolved since 2013. Should it go only for the money, many turf battles are likely to cease abruptly.

+++ iPhone 7 dealt the death blow compact cameras +++

14 April 2016: The iPhone 7 could be burying the already very weak market for compact cameras. At least the head of the Smartphone wholesaler Rhino Intergroup thinks that. With the new camera lenses of the iPhone 7 there is no reason soon more for the purchase of a compact camera.

Raimund Hahn, CEO of the wholesale group Rhino inter group, oracles in a press release that the iPhone 7 would get an optical zoom lens. Thus, he sees the end for conventional compact cameras close: "the optical zoom was so far one of the most important differentiators between a Smartphone and a real camera. With the iPhone 7 exactly this advantage of the cameras will start this year to disappear ", said Hahn and pushes up:"A Smartphone with built-in Zoom camera with 12 megapixels remains little room on the market for conventional compact cameras".

Double camera has no real zoom lens

The iPhone 7 is actually built with the doppeläugigen camera zoom lens is however not quite true. As has been reported, Apple is one of the two lenses as wide angle is to the other as Tel

Apple should actually pursue these plans, something battery performance would have to be sacrificed for it. Then, there is no more powerful battery, which, for example, had reported the US Technikblog "MacRumors" mid-March.

Too thin for a performance stronger battery

"Slashgear" is concrete on the battery issue. An again unspecified called source had reported that Apple would build a battery with a capacity of 7.04 Watt-hours in iPhone 7. This is significantly more than the 6.61 Watt hours of iPhone 6s or 7.01 Watt hours of the iPhone 6 s plus. Would Apple make the iPhone 7 really that thin, it might be too tight for this battery.

+++ iPhone 7 plus with doppeläugiger camera +++

April 9, 2016: Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo expects that Apple in the next generation iPhone, iPhone 7, a double camera fitted which however only at the iPhone 7 plus. A recent kolportiertes third iPhone model will not give it his opinion.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has good contacts and reputation, to meet with many of his forecasts in the black. He assumes that Apple just two new smartphones will - present in the autumn not three, as other experts already suspected. According to the Kuos will refer to Apple of the big iPhone 7 but not more than plus model, but instead, iPhone call 7 Pro.

The two new models will look much like the iPhone 6 s and the iPhone 6 plus. Only the larger 5.5-inch model will be equipped with a doppeläugigen camera for reasons of space. Such a camera is in fact likely, since Apple bought the Israeli company LinX Imaging in the spring of 2014, developed the camera modules.

Dual cameras promise much better images because they can offer two different lenses, for example, for the wide-angle and telephoto range. In addition, they deal better with poor insolation during scenes.

+++ Video Smartphone case to show the iPhone 7 +++

March 21st, 2016: A YouTube video of the videoblog "Unbox Therapy" shows two Smartphone cases. One should be for the iPhone SE expected on Monday and the other for the upcoming iPhone 7 autumn.

The video blogger Lewis Hilsenteger got sent to two covers from a contact man, which are to be manufactured in China for the iPhone SE and the iPhone 7. In the smaller cover fits quite right in the old iPhone 5. The case for more exciting but is iPhone 7. It has an oval opening for the camera, where the opening is significantly greater than that in a shell for the iPhone 6.



Also the iPhone 6 fits accurately into the alleged iPhone 7 case. This suggests that Apple will change the size or shape of the housing nor the arrangement of the buttons. In the course of the video is also to recognize that the jack plug the Apple headphones in the recess of cover fits, but it abuts. Lewis Hilsenteger draws from this the conclusion: Apple wants to offer as suspected more incorporate No 3.5 mm headphone jack and instead only the Lightnig connection in the iPhone 7.

+++ Indicates the name iPhone SE gel Act photo +++

17 March 2016: A photo of the alleged packaging of Monday 21st March-expected new small iPhones seems to confirm the name "iPhone SE". Another alleged iPhone-7-photo, meanwhile, proved to be a hoax.

The photo that has surfaced on chinerischen Twitter clone "weibo", shows the back of packaging on the SE clearly 'iPhone' is to read. So Apple seems to do without a version number in the name. So far, it has been suggested that the new model could be called iPhone 5SE. However, it is unclear whether the image is authentic.

iPhone 7 housing photo is not real

Another photo from March 15, which is purported to show the back of the iPhone 7 expected for autumn, has emerged now as a hoax. Li Nan, the marketing Chief of the Chinese Smartphone manufacturer Meizu, explained that the recording is the new Meizu Pro 6 the the group in brief wants to imagine.

+++ Photo shows iPhone 7 with "doppeläugiger" camera +++

March 16th, 2016: A new photo allegedly shows the premium version of iPhone 7, which should stand out above all by a "double" camera from two other expected models.

The Chinese Internet site "Bastille Post" shows a photo should be on the back of an iPhone 7 to see. The website claims it is a "hands-on photo" of the real device. The image differs in one respect from the beginning of the week published pictures. It has a wide oval opening of the camera.

Already some time ago messages through the Internet that Apple is working on a kind of premium model of the iPhone 7, went through that is a high-end camera

In addition, Tim Cook might introduce a smaller iPad Pro. This should have the dimensions of the iPad air, but support the smart keyboard and the input pin Apple pencil. But supposedly it'll not described as "iPad air 3".

New versions of operating systems

Since Apple recently again a public beta of iOS 9.3 has distributed, Apple could present the final version of the operating system. One of the innovations is the "night mode" that evening is the display colors to warm shades, because cold blue daylight colors interfere with falling asleep. Its own app could then fall away for this purpose.

The US technology magazine "9to5Mac" suspected that Apple also introduces a new version of Mac OS X. Mac OS X 10.12 to finally bring Siri on the Mac so that the voice control is then available on all Apple devices available.

+++ iPhone 7 with extensive shielding +++

24 February 2016: Apple wants to think comprehensively electromagnetically shielded the upcoming iPhone 7. This protection against interference to improve not only the reception, but offer other advantages.

The US Technikblog "Mac rumors" reports that Apple electromagnetically wants to shield almost all chips, processors and components in the new iPhone with a special encapsulation procedure called "EMI". Thus the respective components should be protected against electromagnetic interference what should improve cellular and Wi-Fi reception performance.

Another advantage is that the components to each other no longer distracting influence and therefore the boards can be fitted much closer. The technology inside would so occupy less space. Apple could use the gained space for a larger battery.

Shielding increases cost of production

The two South Korean companies StatsChipsPac and Amkor produce the EIM-protection for the iPhone 7. Both have already developed this procedure for the S1 processor of Apple Watch. Due to the extensive shielding, the production cost of the iPhone 7 would rise slightly.

But as the clock speeds of mobile processors always continue to rise and more and more functions on ever smaller chips are packed, the measure was necessary, as "MacRumors" wants to know from an unspecified mentioned expert.

+++ iPhone 5se also in Rosé gold +++

8 February 2016: Apple's new entry-level Smartphone, the iPhone 5se, to be offered as the iPhone 6 s also in Rosé gold. It will be presented probably on March 15. Also the iPad air 3, which also is expected to be available in this color.

The Japanese technology blog "Macotakara" claimed that the iPhone 5se that with a smaller display than the iPhone 6s to await you, with colour of casing "hot pink" is going.

The US technology blog "9to5mac" but denies it and says that Apple will instead rely on the color Rosé gold looking iPhone the iPhone 6 s and 6 s plus have already proven. Also the iPad air 3, which should also introduce Apple on March 15, will offer this color option.

+++ On March 15, Apple launches new hardware +++

4. February 2016: on March 15 it should be so far: on this day, company CEO Tim Cook will introduce supposedly new Apple hardware. These should include also the new iPhone.

How the usually well-informed FanBLOG "9to5Mac" report, Apple wants to introduce the new iPhone 5se, the iPad air 3 and novelties to the Apple Watch on March 15. Because the invitations to the Apple events always only in the short term, the appointment could still change. He seems but logical, because in the past year, Apple had chosen the day after switching on the US daylight saving time for its presentation.

+++ iPhone 7 receives new camera +++

Most likely, the iPhone 7 Gets a new camera. According to insider reports, she no longer protrude - the Apple Smartphone to come back without camera hump. Also by the cross antenna stripe on the back, apparently, Apple wants to separate.

According to information of the Apple Fanblogs "MacRumors", the new main camera on the back of the iPhone 7 - as previously on the iPhone 5 S - flush with the housing to complete. Previously cooked up rumors about an improved camera model with 12 megapixels. Also, Apple files obviously design his flagship.

The model photo published on the page shows an iPhone without the cross antenna stripe on the back of the Smartphone. End of November was already leaked, Apple would forgo iPhone 7 on a 3.5 mm jack connector in favor of a flat 1.5 mm lightning Jack. The online magazine "Area Mobile" sees this as an indication of a change sought by Apple.

+++ Wireless charging for the iPhone 7s +++

28 January 2016: The US Finanznachric

"Airpod" not fitted as standard

Apple iPhone 7 wool with the "Airpod" not standard equip, but sell them as a premium product. Normal cable headphones should be in as usual but the Smartphone with a lightning adapter.

Small iPhone 5e with VoLTE

Persistent are the reports on a new 4-inch smartphone from Apple. The Chinese Internet site "cnbeta" hawked the name iPhone 5e now and claims this is based on the iPhone 5 s, the last model with 4-inch Bildschirm.Das 'e' stands as a result for "enhanced" (improved).

In it, then latest technology will used like an A8 Processor with 64-bit architecture and one gigabyte of memory. There will be two memory sizes with 16 GB and 64 GB. NFC should be on board as well as the VoLTE - voice over LTE.

+++ Apple wants to remodel the iPhone 7 allegedly much +++

8 January 2016: After several years of speculation it should be as far as finally the iPhone 7: Apple bought the next iPhone model allegedly a waterproof coating. Also it will wirelessly power supplied and the renunciation of the headphone jack is increasingly likely.

According to the latest report, Apple wants to completely redesign its next-generation iPhone, writes the American business magazine "Fast Company", and refers to an unnamed Insider. Therefore, Apple am currently working to equip the iPhone 7 with Wireless charging possibility and to make it waterproof.

Apple lags behind in two features of the competition. Waterproof smartphones There are long by Samsung, Sony, or HTC, for example. Various models from Samsung, LG, Microsoft, Motorola are wireless rechargeable. To get iPhone users by its predecessor on the iPhone 7, Apple must provide new and impressive ways, analysts are sure.

New iPhone 7 without headphones?

Also the abandonment of the previous headphone jack is increasingly likely. To adjust the audio chipset in the iPhone, Apple should work with Cirrus Logic. Thus the lightning connection can also be used for headphones. Also, "Noise cancelling", so the noise reduction will take place in the Smartphone, as well as in the headphones.

Whether Apple still will enclose the new earphones connected to the lightning the iPhone 7, doubt Insider. It is more likely that the Group sells the new headphones separately and more expensive than ever before., probably under his "beats"-brand. Other informants believe to know that Apple iPhone 7 enclose an adapter so that previous headphones can be used.

+++ iPhone 7 could be a memory giant +++

5. January 2016: Apple wants iPhone 7 plus supposedly increase the memory properly. A larger battery to provide a longer time period. The latter is questionable, though, if the new iPhone should be even thinner.

The Chinese technology news site "MyDrivers" want to have learn that Apple iPhone 7 plus with a maximum memory of 256 gigabytes (GB) wants to offer. The predecessor and the iPhone 6s 6s plus, there are memory so far with 16, 64 or 128 GB. It remains unclear whether the iPhone 7 plus also like the predecessor with a 16 GB memory to have will be.

More battery capacity for the iPhone 7 plus

The battery Apple wants the iPhone 7 plus (mAh) allegedly equipped with a battery capacity of 3100 mah. The iPhone 6s plus has a battery with 2750 mAh. If it does, it is however questionable, since other insider report, the new iPhone 7 models would almost as thin as the new iPod touch. A larger battery would be as difficult.

+++ Apple iPhone 6c shows that supposedly next year +++

6 December 2015: Actually the iPhone 6 s was expected in the autumn with a cheaper, more colorful version. But Apple had apparently put on hold its plans for the iPhone 6 c. It seems like only temporary: according to several sources, Apple will unveil this iPhone 6 c in the spring of 2016.

With the iPhone 5c brought Apple a "cheap-version" of the iPhone on the market for the first time. -If something delayed - success of "cheap iPhones" let suspect a continuation.

The Chinese technology blog "TechWeb" wants to have experienced that Apple will show the iPhone 6 c in February 2016. This page refers to unspecified called employees of the Apple supplier Foxconn. Apple have not commissioned while still producing, with the iPhone 6c could however until middle of next year are expected.

Already in August had the fan blog "MIC gadget" published the first pictures of the iPhone 6c. It was a Smartphone with a display size of four inches and a housing in bright colors.

However, the housing should not be made of plastic but metal. The analyst Tim

Currently Apple uses in its iPhones on conventional LCDs, AMOLED panels are installed in the Apple Watch, on the other hand.

+++ iPhone 7 could have a "panic mode" +++

November 7th, 2015: A patent application from Apple reveals interesting plans for the fingerprint sensor "Touch ID". About this, Apple could realize a kind of 'Panic mode' iPhone 7. The principle is actually quite simple.

The user can register multiple fingers for touch ID, so that he can unlock the iPhone with not only one, but several. The patent application, which was approved in May of this year, stipulates that different functions are mapped to now single fingers. Keeps the user, for example, the thumb on the home button, then will the iPhone is normally unlocked. He used the but in a dangerous situation as "Panic finger" previously defined index or middle finger, the panic mode is activated. He ensures that personal data and information are blocked, so that attackers or thieves don't get them in the finger.

The iPhone can also automatically take on photos and videos to identify, for example, thieves. The microphone picks up it also consistently, so that the user, for example, without another can describe the hazardous situation or an offender. Also the iPhone a thief masquerading as then, that it is empty and in the factory. Not only that, because the patent specification provides even a car-amtische emergency call function. This includes the so-called "beacon"function is used. This "radio beacon" informed other smartphones and devices like modern navigation systems in cars in the vicinity of the emergency situation, so that other people can help or get.

+++ iPhone 7 plus with 3 gigabytes of memory +++

6 November 2015: The analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wants to have details back to iPhone 7. Just a day after his speculation about a mini-iPhone is the iPhone 7 this time to the largest model, namely plus. That should get three gigabytes of memory.

Ming-Chi Kuo made in the past several times to attention - about when he predicted a great new iPad. But not always the Chinese was right.

The latest-generation iPhone is equipped with 2 GB of memory. Which is why Apple wants to buy only the large iPhone 7 now three gigabytes of RAM, is not known. Would however be much more important how affects the larger memory. So multitasking capabilities could improve about, so to keep the capability of the device, several apps at the same time in the store.

+++ iPhone 7 comes as a mini Variant +++

4 November 2015: Apple is supposedly working on a small smartphone model. This are reports analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in an investor letter. The small iPhone - possibly the iPhone 7 - to attract customers, the iPhone 6 and that are too big iPhone 6 s.

The model should receive a screen with four inches diagonal. This corresponds to the size of the iPhone 5 / 5s / 5c, so the models from the years 2012 to 2014, with the iPhone 5 and 5c (8 GB) is still produced.

Apple could so be a mini variant the current flagship with a small iPhone 7 to the page - as, for example, also Samsung, Sony or other manufacturers do. Here, Sony would be the appropriate role model, because the mini iPhone to get a fast A9 processor. All other manufacturers also technically slim down their mini variations.

New mini-iPhone could come in the first half of the year on the market in 2016. The production will start beginning of 2016.

+++ iPhone 7 could have a "gesture - password" +++

3. November 2015: A U.S. patent specification from Apple suggests that the iPhone 7 could receive a "gesture - password". The idea is not new but that a drawing in the patent is strongly reminiscent of the function, which has long been offering Android, to unlock a smart phone.

Apple filed a patent titled "Gesture-input technique". The explanation describes the procedure in about that Google's Android mobile operating system has long been offered instead of a password to unlock of your phone. The user enters a wipe pattern on the display.

The patent had already submitted to Apple in 2012. But only in September of this year applied for patent protection was awarded Apple also.

Or as an update for iOS

Because it is just a software, Apple could alternatively submit this "gesture - password" simply as an update for iOS and take on all iPhones and iPads can be used. That could be an alternative for the owners, if they do not want to use the fingerprint sensor.

+++ iPhone 7 may Gets an OLED display +++

October 30, 2015:
Perceptio develops systems for learning and artificial intelligence for mobile devices. Therefore, may succeed in complex data analysis no longer must be sent to the cloud, but evaluated directly on the Smartphone and prepared.

Specifically, Apple could be so on the iPhone 7 implement multiple functions. For example, a smart sorting of photos, which the user takes. Image content would analyze on your Smartphone and the images so classified, indexed and trail. Then the user, for example, by Siri could look for specific images. A question could then be 'show me all pictures with my kids on it".

It is also about data protection

Apple could also a promise, that it gives its users, namely to ensure good data protection. That with the artificial intelligence complex functions locally are feasible on the device, the data must to Central Server no longer be sent and there analyzed.

Just in the light of the early October felled safe harbour decision that would benefit, because in the United States can force the NSA by law access to data on servers from US firms.

Siri is also smarter

A further acquisition by Apple indicates an optimization of the language assistant Siri. With the British company vocal IQ Apple swallowed a specialist for language-based assistance systems. Objective of development could be that communicating with Siri still of course runs out and the language assistant can better interpret the intentions and wishes of the user.

Yet, the vocal IQ has also voice-controlled systems in the car in the portfolio. Siri could hold car play in the car so well about Apple's vehicle interface. Previously operated by car play primarily via built-in touch screen navigation systems in the car.

+++ iPhone 7 is supposedly waterproof +++

1 October 2015: Users go diving with the iPhone 7 could go, because supposedly Apple wants to make its next Smartphone waterproof. Pate will be standing the Apple Watch without prejudice to withstand at least a short dive.

Apple's Smartwatch is classified as IPX 7 and protected against "temporary immersion" according to IEC standard 60529. The Japanese technology blog "Mac Otakara" wants to have learned that Apple is aiming for at least this standard also for the iPhone 7.

How is this waterproof iPhone 7?

How Apple wants to achieve, is not explained. Several ways are there. The technology blog "Apple Insider" reported that Apple is testing the same methods, which are already in the Apple Watch application. This ranges from special housing seals over the silicone coating of circuit paths and connections to the encapsulation of single components and chips.

Maybe Apple but waived a complete sealing of the housing and go another way. The company has filed a patent, which sealed after a special evaporation process with a water-repellent protective spinnerets "electronic components". In other words: The housing could be filling up with water, but the Smartphone will not break. It is unknown how far this process is already developed.

sealed iPhone 6s already

A video on YouTube suggests that its new iPhone Apple has already equipped with a water protection 6 s - series. In the video iPhone 6s and that go the iPhone 6 plus swim and survive notwithstanding the one-hour dive in a bowl of water.

+++ iPhone 7 with new headphones +++

25 September 2015: While the iPhone 6 is "only" a revised version of its predecessor, the iPhone 7 will be a completely newly developed Smartphone. Heart of the next top model to be the new A10 processor, there is about the first messages. In addition, the headphone jack could shrink significantly.

There are messages to find who wants to know details of the A10 processor on the Chinese "Weibo" blogger network. According to this Apple, is planning this "system on a chip" (SoC) to equip with six cores and to produce 14 - or 16-nanometer design.

The A9 motorway built in the iPhone 6 s has two cores and should be thus already around faster 70 percent than its predecessor. But if Apple actually tripled the number of processor cores in only a generation leap, quite unlikely. So far, Apple has taken such steps always very slowly and deliberately.

Patent for new headphone plug

While many Smartphone always have been developed further in recent years, one has never changed: the audio jack. Their diameter is still 3.5 mm - so the thickness of the case took more than half. That could change soon, because Apple has a godfather
