Apple iPhones – Future Design Trends
Apple Inc. created something of a revolution in 2007 when it introduced the original iPhone in 2007! Technology had the world in its firm grip like never before, and all information about the devices was absorbed by a global audience hungry for more. In an instant sweep, the iPhone nearly made all other smartphones obsolete and sent competitors scrambling to innovate on their own products. The prices of the conventional mobile phones of the iPhone 3G and 3GS fell and the iPhone 4 and 4s brought us Retina and Siri. Later, Apple introduced a faster and taller smartphone, the iPhone 5; iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s literally put the future in our hands! The iPhone 6 series was equipped with new hardware and introduced a newer and more responsive way of interacting with the smartphone with 3D Touch.
Apple’s goal of gaining a monopoly of the mobile phone and smartphone market has been achieved, albeit with some cheating and some patent and design-related corporate battles with competitors. But the sheer symmetry and functionality of an iPhone is unmatched and the millions of happy users attest to this indisputable fact. With each new design and improved versatility and performance, Apple is getting more people to buy phones faster. An iPhone as the first mobile device is a source of pride for thousands of people around the world.
In recent news, Apple is unlikely to make any major design changes to its next iPhone product. The corporate announcement said that the tech giant is breaking from the pattern of revising the iPhone’s design every two years; only subtle changes are expected for the fall release of its latest model. Confirmed analyst reports say the new phones will keep the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens, a throwback to the larger-screen models introduced by the company in 2014.
iPhones have not been without their controversy and drawbacks. The 16 GB capacity of iPhones has received a lot of criticism from users who feel that it is a scam as almost 7 GB is consumed for software and applications. Not allowing users to remove custom apps didn’t help Apple’s image either. It seems that the company has taken note of the feedback from loyal customers and is ditching the lower-capacity devices; the next range of iPhone 7 will start with 32GB storage tiers.
Lack of storage has been the most common customer issue and Apple makes sure that this issue is resolved as soon as possible. In all likelihood, Apple’s iOS software will most likely exceed 16 GB, and therefore producing phones with this capacity will not enhance Apple’s corporate image and brand. In all likelihood, the 64GB option will also be dropped and future devices may offer 128GB or even 256GB! This fact makes a lot of sense in light of the fact that the company is considering buying a high-capacity flash for its iPad Pro.
