Unexpected news: Apple stops the traditional cycle upgrades of the iPhone (every two years a major release) 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.
2016 iPhones will reportedly keep the same specs as today's standards, and the same sizes screen 4.7 και 5.5-ιντσών. Η πιο αξιοσημείωτη διαφορά θα είναι ίσως η φημολογούμενη κατάργηση της υποδοχής των ακουστικών που θα κάνει το τηλέφωνο λεπτότερο. Οι επερχόμενες συσκευές σύμφωνα πάντα με τις φήμες που κυκλοφορούν θα έχουν “βελτιωμένες αντοχές στο νερό.”
The phone is reportedly going to be released with a Lightning-to-3.5mm plug, similar to Lenovo's Moto Z
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 be overselling this little break since they're essentially committing to it presentation of a super model in 2017. So this announcement also marks its launch marketing της μεθεπόμενης 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.
