iPhone 7 could be ‘biggest redesign ever’: Analyst predicts Apple handset will dump the home button and boost battery life
While most Apple users are still getting used tot he iPhone 6s, one analyst has predicted major changes for the iPhone 7.
Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster told clients 'we expect the iPhone 7 to sport a unique design from the iPhone 6/6S'.
He believes it will do away with the home button, instead relying on the 3D Touch screen introduced in the 6S.
The iPhone 6s, shown here, could be the last to have a physical home button, an analyst has claimed.
'As
many have speculated, the addition of 3D Touch may provide Apple with a
way to eliminate the home button on the phone and use the additional
space to make the screen bigger or make the device smaller,' he said,
according to Barrons.
The move would mean Apple has to move the Touch ID sensor to elsewhere on the phone.
'Another area on which we believe Apple may focus is battery life,' he said.
'Looking
at Macs over the past few years, Apple has close to doubled battery
life for its Macbook line up (largely 5 hour battery to ~10 hours).
