Well, that was quick. Rumour has it Apple are going to launch a new iPhone next bloody month, but probably not what you’d expect.
According to AppleInsider, the company are looking to update the iPhone 7 range as well as their iPads in March, but are still planning to announce a 7s or special edition iPhone later this year.
There’s no word yet on what the updates to the iPhone will be, but they’re likely to be minor. It could be a 128GB capacity version of the iPhone SE or even just a new colour for the 7 – red.
Being the iconic phone’s 10th anniversary, there are high expectations on what the special edition model and its features might look like when it’s announced. It probably won’t be called the 7s though, they’ll likely skip straight to 8 for the occasion.
It’ll almost definitely have wireless charging, but may also have the heavily rumoured OLED curved screen and the ability to unlock via a selfie.
Yep, a fucking selfie. If the long-serving home button is finally axed, the fingerprint scan could be placed with a 3D scanner for facial recognition unlocking. Noted Apple rumour website MacRumours has also reported on the flashy new tech.
In short, don’t hold your breath for anything crazy just yet. September is when Apple will likely announce their new flagship phone.
