As much as this sounds like absurd among the numerous rumors surrounding the next flagship smartphone from Apple, it may also have some sense for the upcoming iPhone 7 to have the rumored pop-out joystick.
The joystick would not really be a physical accessory that shall be optionally attached to the iPhone (that would really come out very weird alright) but more of an optional feature of the upcoming device. It’s not even an app but it can be used for, as would be expected, playing game apps on the iPhone.
The Franchise Herald reports that the supposed or alleged iPhone 7 joystick will pop out every time the user clicks on the home button. But with just a single click, it will revert to its original deactivated state in an instant.
At this point in time, there are just too much rumors about the iPhone 7 that people could no longer discern which of these are true, accurate or plain ideas or suggestions from tech wiz. Until Apple makes the official announcement to confirm or deny these rumors, all these advance information must be taken with a grain of salt.
Possible release date
Even the release date of the Apple iPhone 7 has been making the rounds of the rumor mills. While majority of the speculations believe that the Cupertino-based American tech giant would most likely release its next flagship smartphone in September, to mark exactly one year since rolling out the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there are new notions that it could be released along with the Apple Watch.
The Apple Watch is expected to be released in March and all indications point to the possibility that it will also come with the iPod Touch 6th Generation and possibly a new iOS to finally put to rest the issues that have hounded the problematic iOS 8.0 released also in September last year.
It is only lately that some rumors have started saying that the iPhone 7 would also be released together with the Apple Watch because the two devices would reportedly have complementary features worth showing to the wortd when Tim Cook officially unveils them.
Consistent rumors
There is also some consistency in some rumors particularly about the specifications of the upcoming iPhone 7.
One of the more consistent features in the rumor mills is the report that the camera of the upcoming Apple flagship smartphone will feature dual-lens technology.
The technology shall enable the iPhone 7 camera to have that quality of images similar to high definition professional cameras. The technology shall also enable the iPhone 7 camera to take in more light than necessary especially when taking photos at night or under low-light conditions.
Regardless whether all these rumors are true or not, it still could not keep iPhone fans and enthusiasts from getting excited over the next flagship smartphone from Apple.
