Unexpected news: Apple is stopping the traditional iPhone upgrade cycle (every two years a big version) that we all knew. The information comes from the Wall Street Journal and as we will see below, the timing of the announcement makes sense. 
In other words, do not expect anything special in the upcoming model of this year. The good news is that 2017 should be as impressive as 2016 will be boring.
The 2016 iPhones will reportedly retain the same features as today's standards, and the same 4.7- and 5.5-inch screen sizes. The most notable difference will probably be the rumored removal of the headphone jack which will make the phone thinner. Upcoming devices, according to rumors, will have "improved water resistance."
The phone will reportedly come with a plug lightning-to-3.5mm, παρόμοιο με αυτό που έχει το Moto Ζ της Lenovo
Although it is not certain that we will get rid of the traditional "tic-TOC" cycle that Apple uses to upgrade its devices (where tic is the s version and TOC is the large version) you will have to wonder why this change and why now..
Of course, Apple will make over-the-top sales with this small interruption since it is essentially committed to the presentation of a super model in 2017. So this announcement also means the start of the marketing of the upcoming devices even before the next one is released.
Breaking the upgrade cycle this year in particular has a very symbolic meaning. In 2017, the iPhone celebrates 10 years of existence, and so Apple does not want "just" an iPhone 7S.
It should be something special.
