Although Apple unveiled iPhone 6s in September, reports are
already circulating the Web about the next edition in Apple's line of
smartphones. The iPhone 7 is rumored to
have some exciting new features and to be unveiled alongside the second
wearable tech gadget from the company, the Apple Watch 2.
However, a quick search through social media not only shows
conflicting specs for Apple's rumored iPhone, but design images that
seem to be far from similar.
A Sept. 25 YouTube video shows both an iPhone 6s and an iPhone 6s Plus will continue to work after being submerged in water for at least an hour. Forbes notes
the added resistance to the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus compared to previous
models could indicate the next iPhone will be 100% waterproof.
Tech site GeekSnack appears
to support this claim, adding that the new phone's outer casing could
possibly even be dust-proof as well. According to the site, Apple
developers are creating waterproof charging and headphone ports.
iDigitalTimes
reports the phone may lend its waterproof functionality to a new,
non-metallic casing and could feature wireless charging and speakers on
the front of the phone, a feature current iPhones do not have.
