Apple.Inc has recently launched IPhone 6 and 6+, the rumours have started that IPhone 7 is going to be release shortly.... But is it true??? We don't know... Who know??? Only the manufacturers know it...If Apple follows its tried and tested iPhone formula, the iPhone 7 won't look drastically different from the iPhone 6- retaining its Touch ID home button and organic, rounded appearence. The big design changes tend to skip a generation, leaving Sir Jony time to fine-tune his scribbles. THE SCREENS It's unclear whether or not Apple will release an iPhone 7 and a larger iPhone 7 Plus at this stage. But it seems likely that both will get upgrades. We also expect both to retain their screen sizes - so 4.7in for the iPhone 7 and 5.5in for the iPhone 7 Plus.
Size apart, it now looks less likely that the next iPhones will get sapphire displays.
Apple had been exploring the possibility of giving its iPhones sapphire screens for some time. Unscratchable to all things but diamond, a sapphire display would laugh in the face of keys, loose change, and even nails. Though why you'd be walking around with the latter jingling away in your pocket is beyond us.
Apple already uses sapphire to protect its Touch ID buttons and camera lenses from scratches, and the upcoming Apple Watch’s display will also be covered by the hardy stuff.
So the signs were there. Adding further fuel to the fire, Apple signed a multi-million dollar deal with GT Advanced Technologies in November 2013, providing it with the material and machinery to mass produce sapphire screens in larger numbers than ever.
However, that deal has now fallen through, and GT Advanced Technologies filed for bankruptcy last month. That doesn't mean we won't ever see a sapphire screen on an iPhone, but it seems unlikely that it'll make its way on to the iPhone 7, especially with all those sapphire-coated Apple Watches waiting in the wings.
