Apple’s iPhone 7 might be more Android than Apple

The rumour mill was abuzz regarding Apple iPhone 7’s early release next year, but so far there’s been no proof to that. By observing the company’s launch patterns, we can assume a late 2016 release of the iPhone 7 that’s expected to share similar features with Android phones.

There’s been a lot of assumptions and unofficial announcements regarding the iPhone 7. Users, however, are expecting some exclusive features in the new phone. Read to know what they are.

As of now, Apple iPhones enjoy 12 hours of battery life, considerably less than Android’s battery support that lasts for as long as 24 hours. Apple fans are expecting the tech giant will use similar longer-lasting battery technology in the new iPhone 7 that won’t require charging twice daily.

Wireless charging is hot these days and fans expect the new feature to arrive in the iPhone 7, reports MacWorld. Apple has already started working on a series of wireless charging technologies and a new technique charges an iPhone by placing the phone within a certain range of a Wi-Fi charging device.

You should know sapphire is the second most scratch resistant material after diamond and will probably be used on the display screen of the iPhone 7. Fans are also expecting more memory for the base model. Android phones support 32 GB of internal storage along with 3 GB of RAM and Apple lovers can’t be faulted for expecting the same.

Given the thin and fine structure of phone bezels, it’s a huge challenge for manufacturers to physically configure optical zoom cameras on iPhones. But this is something you can expect in the new flagship model, reports Neuro Gadget.

Lately, more and more Android manufacturers are waterproofing their devices and similar waterproofing can be expected in the iPhone 7.

While we look forward to these new features on the iPhone 7, we’ll still have to wait a few more months to see if the assumptions turn true.
