The details for Apple's lineup of smartphone, on the other hand, is somewhat getting clearer as the day of its unveiling nears. However, the focus now falls on the company's next year smartphone offering.
The alleged iPhone 7 is thought to be the company's 2016 flagship and is touted to be its "thinnest iPhone" yet, said the report from Yahoo.
According to the media outlet, while the reportedly upcoming iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus will be following the outgoing model's basic design, the 7th phone in the series won't.
Citing KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it was found out that the future-gen iPhone will measure anywhere "between 6.0 and 6.5-mm thick" and that the Apple Watch maker might switch to "glass-on-glass" solutions for its upcoming phones.
"Apple and its suppliers have invested heavily in iPhone Force Touch in 2015, and we believe 2016 new models will stick with a similar Force Touch structure as used in 2015," Kuo was quoted as saying (via Yahoo).
