Excitement for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus has not died down yet because with this smartphone Apple first broke its sales records and then posted the best ever quarter results by any public corporation.
The company is still milking its latest iPhone and rumors and talks about the next one have already started – this is exactly what makes Apple, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). The company knows that these leaks and rumors build up anticipation and create hype for the new product; it won’t be wrong to say that even if Apple didn’t spend a penny for iPhone’s marketing or advertising, it would still sell like hot cakes.
Now the entire tech world is buzzing about what the next iPhone will have; it is not even clear whether the company will release its iPhone 7 or an updated version of iPhone 6, similar to iPhone 5s. However one thing seems certain at this point that the next iPhone’s touch sensor will be updated to make it more efficient for Apple Pay. According to reliable sources, the next iPhone will allow users to use Apple Pay with slim to no reading issues because of the advance touch sensor.
It is believed that the Home Button for the phone will continue to hold Touch ID feature because according to KGI Securities’ Kuo it seems highly unlikely that users will be able to use fingerprint sensors from their touch screens anytime soon – the technology will take time to materialize.
However as expected Apple is thinking ahead and has already secured the patent for touch panel and fingerprint sensor integration, but it will be some time before the tech giant will be able to offer the feature to its users. The main reason is that this integration would require sapphire cover lenses and highly complicated algorithms to work, which currently doesn’t seem possible.
Touch ID is all the rage these days in the market; a KGI securities analyst believes that the shipment for Touch ID is likely to go up by 12.4% (262 million) in 2015. Apple brought Touch ID to iPhone 5s for the first time and since then it has become an important feature for the company, mainly because of Apple Pay’s introduction that needs to offer maximum security for gaining consumers.
Another product that has already started getting attention is Apple’s iOS 9, which according to rumors will be more about stability than introducing new features.
We all know that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) ran into a lot of trouble with its iOS 8 and its updates; therefore it is important for the company to upgrade the operating system without any bugs and flaw or at least keep them down to minimum.
As mentioned before iOS 9 will focus more on improving performance and providing better stability. Moreover the updated operating system is expected to be unveiled in June at the Worldwide Developer’s Conference.
After iOS 8 users will expect nothing but flawless performance for the next verison; iOS 8 not only had bugs and flaws, but also required too much space for storage, which made Apple’s 16GB products pointless and almost useless for its users.
These rumors are among the first one to surface regarding the next iPhone and iOS. The next few months will be extremely interesting for Apple fans who will eagerly follow the rumor mill for more Apple updates.
