Apple Inc. created something of a revolution in 2007 when it introduced the original iPhone in 2007! Technology had the world under its firm control like never before and all the 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 made competitors scramble to introduce innovations into their own products. The prices of the mainstream iPhone 3G and 3GS mobile phones 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 sensitive way of interacting with the smartphone with 3D Touch.
Apple’s goal of obtaining a monopoly on the mobile phone and smartphone market has been achieved, albeit with some cheating and some corporate battles related to patents and designs with competitors. But the sheer symmetry and functionality of an iPhone is unmatched and the millions of happy users bear witness 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 instrument is a source of pride for thousands of people around the world.
In recent news, Apple is unlikely to make any major changes to the design of its next iPhone product. The corporate announcement said the tech giant is breaking away from the pattern of reviewing iPhone 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 displays, a throwback to the larger-screen models unveiled by the company in 2014.
IPhones have not been without controversy and downsides. 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 appears that the company has taken note of loyal customer feedback and is abandoning smaller capacity devices; the next iPhone 7 lineup will start with 32GB storage tiers.
Lack of storage has been the only issue for customers and the lack of Apple ensures that this issue is addressed as soon as possible. In all likelihood, Apple’s iOS software will most likely exceed 16GB, and therefore producing phones with this capability will not enhance Apple’s corporate image and branding. In all likelihood, the 64GB option will also be dropped and future devices may offer 128GB or even 256GB! This fact makes perfect sense in light of the fact that the company is considering purchasing a high-capacity flash for its iPad Pro.
