In the reality of the exchange rate iPhone annual update it does not look as good idea as before. At least, today each one of us become better analyze purchase, weigh all the "pros" and "cons." That's what I thought about the advisability of replacing the iPhone 6s on "seven" by some six months.
Weight "for" in the iPhone 7 at the moment is virtually invisible - at least for the "portrait" of the rumors. But "against" more than enough - it seems that in September we will try to "Provisional Government" all the same "six" for the third time.
"When Jobs was not like this" - that is hackneyed expression here fits perfectly.
Recently it appeared on the network the opinion that Apple will reduce the actual biennial update policy flagship smartphones exactly twice, and there are plenty of reasons.
Today, a number of disparate rumors speaks of new technologies for the iPhone, scheduled for 2017 - OLED, wireless charging, fresh design and so on. That's why I'll wait for iPhone 8.
Note: editorial opinion may not coincide with the opinion of the author.
1. Old clunky design with plastic strips
I like the pleasant feeling of metal in his hand, it is no substitute for the highest quality plastic or leather with the femoral portion of the dragon. And hide the iPhone in cases or bags, even taking into account all risks of "life" is not the most durable device in the world, I'm not used to.
So clumsy plastic strip is not in the tone of the body to the "back side" of my "six" is constantly apparent.
Get rid of annoying design misses unlikely to succeed - the metal even with a strong desire not to miss the cellular network signal.
In 2017 aluminum to replace the glass, which will give the necessary room for maneuver. There is no doubt - "seven" should be omitted.
2. Without OLED or other unconventional techniques in the screen
Earlier myself from any association with OLED technology was a "seasick" today are built on the display looks just fine. Plus, they consume much less energy and does boast extraordinary features done - which is only Always On modern Korean flagship.
Moreover, now traditional for the PPI Retina 300, in which the individual dots on the screen, the human eye does not see the alleged, simply do not work. This is especially noticeable when using the iPhone 6s with VR-helmets type View-Master from Mattel - huge grain openly interferes with the normal immersion in virtual reality.
Changes should not expect only "eight", so the point in buying iPhone 7, I just do not see.
3. The display size will not increase, but not decrease the frame around
With the release of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge bent on the sides of the screens have become particularly relevant. Judge for yourselves, with their help, the Koreans managed to "stick" 5.5-inch display, even in very small enclosure. Most likely, the "apple" is a copy of this device, all we will see in 2017 in the face of iPhone 8 or any iPhone Pro.
All the latest in fusion "seven" network drawings show us only a modified version of iPhone 6 / 6s with exactly the same display and huge frames around. Recent audience especially frightening.
Do I vote for a compact with a big screen?
4. The metal housing No wireless charging
Despite numerous announcements of wireless charging standards for devices with metal housing, which in recent years are full of IT-resources, adequate business models simply do not have today. And wait for Apple's revolution on the not very promising, according to the company, field is not necessary.
Therefore, over the wireless charging metal iPhone 7 is not even possible to dream.
The glass rear panel, which promise iPhone 8 - is another matter. There is a chance that it still needed not only for the extraordinary appearance.
5. The same single or "neobkatannaya" dual camera
"The first pancake is always lumpy" - this expression is the best suited to the company Apple.
The examples do not need to go far. First, the iPhone was only interesting conceptually, and even 3G was not in it. The original iPad and in comparison does not go with the iPad 2, which is supported now. The first MacBook Air sets the direction for the development of the whole industry, but was a disappointment, most owners of expensive toys. Exactly the same situation with the 3D Touch and many other technologies.
That is why to expect from the iPhone Dual Camera 7 something out of the ordinary is not necessary. Moreover, the device is likely to remain with a single 12-megapixel sensor of the iPhone 6s, which disappointed all of us even more.
We are looking for some other reasons?
My conclusions are clear - he has already decided to skip absentia iPhone 7 and wait for new products in 2017. Here, as in the song of the "Cinema" - "Changes require our hearts!". However, the owners of iPhone 5s and below exactly should think about upgrading of industrial park, but they can pay attention to all the same iPhone SE, which will also be more interesting acquisition.
