There are also reports saying that the iPhone 7 shall also come out buttonless, which would be a natural move for the company that has a strong preference for clean lines as well as simple design.
Some reports are also alluding that the iPhone 7 might feature a durable sapphire display, which would offer a higher degree of scratch and shatter-resistance than the current model’s Gorilla Glass.
The Apple Watch already features sapphire displays when it came out in March last year which perfectly blends with the OLED technology that provides best-in-class black levels, contrast, and colors on a growing assortment of smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S7.
Apple may actually decide to use the technology and the sapphire display on its iPhone 7 lest it is left behind by its close competitors in the smartphone market.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, a reputable Apple analyst, says that the American tech giant may revamp its lineup of iPhones next year to include a new curved display.
The new iPhone screen reportedly will be based on the active matrix organic light-emitting diode or AMOLED screens currently used in the iPhones. OLED displays, on the other hand, are thinner, and more flexible than LCDs. They are also more power-efficient, which lasts a lot longer even from a single battery charge.
