The next iPhone will only have minor improvements by Kif Leswing on May 31, 2016, 11:48 AM Advertisement
 More evidence is suggesting that the iPhone that will come out this fall will be a slight upgrade from the current iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Basically, it sounds like Apple is preparing another "S" model for release later this year, with a body that will be very similar to the iPhone hardware currently on sale. Here's the latest from Nikkei, a Japanese newspaper citing supply chain sources and a production schedule provided to its suppliers: Apple will likely take three years between full-model changes of its iPhone devices, a year longer than the current cycle. In a typical two-year term, fall 2016 was supposed to see a major upgrade. But the changes on the model to be launched this autumn will be minor, such as improved camera quality. According to the report, the big changes to this year's iPhone will be: - A better camera
- Water resistance
- Larger battery
- No headphone jack
- A "high-end version" with photo "correction functions" — likely the dual-lens camera that's been rumored.
As has previously been reported, if this year's iPhone isn't a huge change, then the 2017 iPhone will be a big refresh. It's reportedly going to have a glass body, wireless charging, and perhaps an edge-to-edge screen. Nikkei adds that the 2017 iPhone may have an improved vibration motor as well. An Apple chassis supplier's CEO recently confirmed that he believes that Apple is preparing a glass iPhone in 2017. This development raises the question: Will this year's iPhone be named the "iPhone 7," or is Apple planning to totally change its naming convention?
