Prediction: 2017/2018 Will Be Apple's Next Groundbreaking iPhone Release

[Andres Cantu]

The Apple Campus "mothership" will be finished next year, just in time for the iPhone's 10th anniversary. Coincidence, I think not!

Credit card vendors do get to take ~ 3% of each transaction so that's a possibility.

Apple: on its path to being the first trillion-dollar company.

amazon and google will get their before apple.

Android tablet/phablet gamechanger?

I'm so ready for to see one of these foldable phones but it's going to be tough to make that design durable.

I find 3dt very useful and iOS 10 seemingly has expanded the use of it.

It's cool to have but definitely not a groundbreaking feature.
Or something that would make me upgrade just for 3DT.

You said it was a "gimmick ". I'm countering I find it useful not a gimmick and didn't say it was groundbreaking.

^ The flexible screen which got implemented to the Galaxy S6 edge four years later.

I figure I probably won't get too excited owning a Note7 for very long when I know in 2017...

- Galaxy S8 and Note8 get a 4K displays which will be the driving force to VR. Note7 already has the feature to lower resolution, so stop crying about battery life.

- Nokia returning to the smartphone business with a proper Android flagship. I love Nokia. Still innovative but were stuck with that Microsoft marriage for years.

- LG G6 with a more refined modular design

- Project Ara (more modular designs)

- Foldable displays which can change the game for tablets and phablets forever especially if they are also 2 in 1 hybrids.

- Nintendo NX

- Possible battery life breakthroughs

So while you go anticipate for your new glass design of the iPhone 8 with features Android had for years, I will be too busy checking out all the other options with Android devices in 2017. Your temporary high for any new device is never permanent. Anticipate the future. Things can change fast within six months.

Go anticipate your same glass slab design with iPhone 8 for another year. Android users are already well ahead of iPhone users. Anticipating this form factor...

I actually had a concept for a foldable smartphone design like this many years ago. Irrelevant I know but cool to see your own concepts become reality.

Or not.

I don't know, it seems more like a bell and whistle type of thing to me.
Would you update for that feature?
