Alphr speculates that the phone is really stepping up to battle with Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and will be waterproof.
The website claims that the diagrams included in the patent entitled “Electronic Device with Hidden Connector” shows Apple filing another patent connections that self-heals.
There are also reports that the company is working towards shipping the device with wireless charging and Li-Fi connectivity.
As per Bloomberg, Apple is developing a cutting-edge technology that allows iPhones and iPads to be charged without a cable or a charging mat. However, the catch to the report is that the technology won’t arrive until 2017, meaning it won’t happen in the iPhone 7.
As for the Li-Fi connectivity, the company wants to include superfast Li-Fi internet in the iPhone 7. Li-Fi transmits information in a binary fashion using light, unlike Wi-fi which uses radio waves.
Data is communicated through bulbs with rapid, imperceptible blinking, and the result is Li-Fi internet which is definitely faster than the W-Fi.
A certain Twitter user claims that he has found a code in iOS 9.1 which refers to the new internet technology. The report has also been confirmed by Apple Insider which means there’s a huge possibility that the iPhone 7 could be the very first device to get a taste of the Li-Fi.
