It seems only yesterday the latest iPhones, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, were released by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) in the market. Well, it wasn’t that long ago anyways, as both these models were launched in the final quarter of 2014. Now, the world has just entered the year 2015 and rumors about what the next iPhone will feature have already begun to circulate the internet.
Certain features of the next iPhone have accidentally leaked through Apple Inc.’s secure grips and have made their way into the market.
The resource which has reported the leaked information resides in Taiwan, the website UDN, according to which one of the major changes the next iPhone will feature is a two-lens camera. Of course, iPhone already is able to capture breathtaking pictures and make higher-framerate videos compared to competitor smartphones. However, it seems the makers of the iPhone wish to improve the result of the camera embedded in phones even better.
The dual-lens design, according to analysts, will improve the way the phone captures the light while taking photographs, improving the overall picture quality of the photo taken. The dual-lens will also allow users to zoom in using optical technology, instead of the lower quality digital zoom that is the commonplace feature with most smartphone cameras.
Another major improvement in the new iPhone will be the way users interact with the phone. Previously, all touches on the iPhone’s screens meant the same thing. However, in the next phone the hardness with shich you will press the phone will result in different actions. This would be made possible because Apple Inc. is planning on incorporating its Force Touch piece of technology into the gadget, which has already been incorporated into the upcoming Apple Watch that will be launched in March of this year.
Not only this, but users will also be able to get a more accurate result with fitness applications available at the Apple App Store, as the new Force Touch technology will allow for a more accurate reading of the user’s pulse as well as blood pressure.
As far as the overall size of the next iPhone is concerned, no the next iPhone will not be bigger than the iPhone 6, breaking the trend which previous iPhone models have set. Many internet memes have also been made related to this consistent increase in screen size, with some depicting iPhone 20 to be a 40” phone. However, Apple Inc. seems to be putting an end to such speculations, and the next iPhone will maintain the size the company has set with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, again releasing two models to cater to varying user preferences in size.
Also, Apple Inc. may also remove the 16GB minimum storage capacity model with the next iPhone, leaving users with the option to select at least the 32 GB capacity phone.
Whether the next iPhone will be called the iPhone 6S or iPhone 7 is still a mystery. However, if Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) follows the trend it has set with the iPhone’s production, then in most probability, the next iPhone will be titled the iPhone 6S. However, the iPhone 6 Plus was a variation from tradition, so nothing sure can be said in this regard.
