  • 'iPhone 7' may use new 'fan-out' packaging tech to save internal space

    isteelersisteelers
    As long as battery life remains the same or better, I don't mind if they make the iPhone 7 thinner.  I use a case on mine so a thinner phone means a thinner case.   Losing the headphone jack is no big deal. I just wish the bezels were smaller so you could have a larger screen phone in a smaller footprint. Not sure how they would incorporate the touch-Id sensor though.

    WWDC isn't till June.

    wonder whats going on. Maybe another Apple event in April?
    I think they must to be planning an event in April as WWDC is too far off.  Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft are all shipping mobile devices with Intel 6th Generation mobile processors and Apple is coming off as the laggard of the industry.
    Do those new laptops have the U processors or the HQ CPUs?  I have seen the U models in other brands but I believe Apple uses the HQ models but haven't checked in awhile. I think the U series are dual core while the others HQ and HK are quad cores.  It could be a matter of getting those CPUs in volume or the could be designing other improvements in addition to   a CPU upgrade. Why would you think Apple would not want to release a new set of laptops?  Regardless, Apple is the trend setter, not the "laggard" in the industry and has been for some time.

    Except that iOS is getting larger and apps are getting larger and taking videos, as opposed to photos, is more popular. 16GB of storage on an iOS is certainly doable depending on the user, but it is not getting any easier.

    Plus it makes it more difficult for less sophisticated users to use their phone because managing space, both local and moving things in and out of the cloud, can get a bit complex. iCloud being garbage doesn't help in this regard.

    Skimpy amount of disk space on a cheap android device is par for the course. An an Apple device it is an embarrassment but just proves that Apple sees their customer as cash machines and doesn't really care about the user experience like their marketing tries to suggest.

    Poor baby. Big bad Apple taking advantage of poor little consumer.  What will all those millions of satisfied customers ever do? Maybe you should go buy a Samsung so you won't feel embarrassed anymore and can sleep at night.  Fit right in with those babies at MacRumors.

    "It's just one phone".

    It is NOT just one phone. It is THE FIRST phone. The critical one that sets the precedent and can never be undone. Its everything.
    Exactly.

    An Honest questions, why should apple own a Streaming Right? 

    Shouldn't Apple provide an Platform that everyone could show their shows on?
    You have to have the rights from the content providers to stream the content
