I was reading some rumours about new iPhones, and it seems to be unanimous the idea of Apple announcing three models this year: iPhone 7S and 7S Plus and another one, special for 10th anniversary and much more expensive.
These same rumours state that of this three, only the special model would bring a completely new design with a lot of welcome new features, representing the much anticipated revolution on iPhone camp. At same time, the 7S and 7S Plus models would bring the same design released back in 2014 with iPhone 6, and only some minor improvements.
Obviously that's just rumours, vapour, nothing concrete here. But I really don't think Apple can afford to maintain the very same design for another year in any new models. Samsung is leading this specific race for almost three years now (since Galaxy S6 Edge) and the Galaxy S8 seems to make perfect a concept very well developed in this time. Compare a shiny new S8 with iPhone 7 seems to be very embarrassing for Apple on this point. I think a major revamp is needed, not only in its main model, but across all the line - except SE, of course. The iPhone 6-6S-7 design feels so desperately old now (personally I still think the best iPhone design was the 4-4S one, much more modern and, even, beautiful) that I think it need to be abandoned in all new models.
What do you think? Are you satisfied with latest iPhone models in terms of pure design? Do you believe Apple can afford to complete full 4 generations with same concept? Leave us your thoughts about it.
