Next-Generation iPhone Again Rumored to Adopt 7000 Series Aluminum

Would love if Apple produced an iPhone classic alongside the 6.... Latest processor but with a thicker design to accommodate a larger battery (probably as thick as the 5) and a 4 inch screen. That would make everyone happy :D Well not everyone but more people.

However it is good news that they may be making the 6S stronger.

"For Apple Watch Sport, we started with 7000 Series aluminum -- the same used in competition bicycles. We altered it to create a new alloy that's just as light, yet even more durable -- it's 60 percent stronger than most aluminum, and one-third the density of stainless steel. It has a bright, lustrous colour and a uniform structure free of defects and impurities. Each case is machined and polished, then blasted with microscopic zirconia beads to achieve a consistent, satin texture. A special anodizing process creates a hard, clear outer layer that helps protect against scratches and corrosion."

You know that every single one of you (as I did) read this quote using Jony Ive's voice.

It'd be awesome if they offered a limited edition (iPhone Edition?!) stainless steel iPhone 6S and 6S Plus with a black front to match with the steel Apple Watch and a throwback to the original iPhone

I would love to know how much Kuo gets paid to state things that even someone living under a rock would have been able to make a good guesstimate upon.

It's certainly easy to make countless predictions like most of these guys do. No one remembers if you're wrong and if you're right, you get to claim credit and Mac Rumors says you're a very credible source in the future.

It's the Nostradamus method. Make enough predictions and a couple are bound to come true making you appear credible in your future predictions.

I predict the next iPhone will be better. It will have better battery life, faster processor, better touch sensor. All of of those things have happened with every single release so based on real historic data, these predictions will very likely be true. Yet someone gets credit because they simply stated that which has been true of every iPhone release since 2007.

Force Touch will use a new AMOLED display.

If they used an AMOLED display, they might not have to make the phone any thicker to accommodate force touch. Of course I don't see this happening until the iPhone 7 though.
