Apple iPhone 7 Release Update: Build Quality Boost, Foxconn and Sapphire Displays
More details of the iPhone 7 have started surfacing despite unknown release. According to new information, Apple maybe looking into boosting the build quality of the next iPhone while pushing for sapphire displays as it works a deal with Foxconn. Can Apple deliver a killer iPhone 7?
The iPhone 6 series has been a huge success for the Cupertino-based giant. The product line hailed in record-breaking sales and continues to carve out a good market share for Apple. Apple may be looking into replicating the success of the iPhone 6 with the upcoming iPhone 7. According to Value Walk, Apple may stick to the same premium design but it should be working on boosting the build quality of the next flagship.
It will keep a comparable physical appearance for its premium approach. Apple may also be looking into more durable materials taking a leap from the usual to sapphire glass. Despite the controversy with GT Advanced Technologies, Business Insider notes that Apple may now partner with Foxconn to push its sapphire initiative. Foxconn has been the main assembly of the company for the iPhone. The deal was also reported via the China Economic Weekly saying that Foxconn has been gearing up for a new factory soley for production of the displays.
However, it should also be noted that the report did not specify other devices for which the displays will be produced for. All features and deals still should be taken with a grain of salt. Apple has not confirmed any final details about its iPhone 7 plans yet. Nonetheless, analysts are betting that the sapphire glass may finally make its way on the next release and possibly on other Apple products.
Apple's rival, Samsung, has also been reportedly preparing for the release of its Galaxy S6. The flagship should sport radical change as recent reports of company restricting and new plans surface.
