Apple iPhone 7 specification- Rumour

Apple iPhone 7 specification- Rumour

One thing the iPhone 7 most likely won't have is an AMOLED display. Numerous sources are in agreement that Apple wants to eventually switch to the vibrant screen tech (as seen in Samsung's flagship phones), but that this won't occur until the iPhone 8 in 2018.

This one falls into the realm of hope more than expectation, but we'd quite like to see the iPhone 7 bringing the iPhone 6 Plus's 1080p display resolution to a smaller form factor.


Yes, we're still expecting the iPhone 7 to retain the sub–5in display size. Apple has only just switched to this size, following a fair amount of arm-twisting from consumers. The company has been successful in giving people what they want, without alienating too many staunch 4in apologists.

This just leaves the matter of resolution. It's true that the iPhone 6's 1,334 x 750 display looks great and perfectly sharp. However, place it next to the iPhone 6 Plus and the difference in pixel density becomes apparent.

Apple made an effort to maintain the same 326ppi rating as previous iPhone Retina displays. Now that the screen is significantly larger, though, we reckon it would benefit from a bump-up.

There'll also be support for Force Touch, and we expect a load more apps will be on board with the pressure-sensitive tech by then.

As for performance, we're expecting the iPhone 7 to run on an A10 CPU given Apple's rigid numbering system for such things. A report from China suggests that the move to double-figures could be accompanied by a move to six cores.

Apple's mobile chips tend to sport a dual-core set-up, with the odd departure into tri-core territory for certain iPads. Now however, it could be ready to embrace multi-threading, utilising multiple cores for single tasks.

It's also claimed that the A10 will be built to a teeny-tiny 14nm or 10nm standard, while a separate report claims that it'll be backed by 3GB of RAM. You wait years for an iPhone RAM increase, then two come along in quick succession.
