IPhone 7 Waterproof Feature With Release Date

With the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Watch on the horizon, Apple fans are already wondering when the iPhone 7 will hit the stores.

The release of the Galaxy S6 has ensured that Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) has garnered a great deal of attention in recent weeks, but there is no doubt that the iPhone 7 will be the most prominent mobile release of the year.


Apple smashes 2014

Apple can seemingly do no wrong at the moment. The 21st century has been pretty spectacular for the computing and consumer electronics giant, but the last fifteen months in particular have been almost unbelievably successful for the Cupertino-based company.

The latest morsel of excellent news for Apple was the survey released this week by Gartner Inc (NYSE:IT) which suggests that Apple is now outselling Samsung. Although it has been significantly more profitable than its major rival for sometime, the news that it is now also actually selling more mobile devices than that Korean Corporation will be extremely warmly received at Apple headquarters.


This excellent news can be combined with the fact that Apple has recently delivered the highest single-quarter profit in business history, and also that the market value of Apple has ensured that the company has smashed the $700 billion market capitalization value; another first.

Under the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that the Apple share price has increased by over 50 percent over the last twelve months.

So Apple is holding some strong cards with regard to the release of the iPhone 7, and Apple certainly has the opportunity to release it whenever he sees fit. One way in which the corporation has separated itself from its rivals is in its reluctance to cram too much spec or technology into products, and to ensure that all aspects of the product are as close to perfect as possible before it is released.

This has meant that some critics of the iPhone series have been underwhelmed by recent Apple releases, stating that the iPhone range has become too conservative.

One example of this would be the Sapphire Glass finish which was expected to be included in the iPhone 6, which never ultimately featured as part of the device. The iPhone 6 is unquestionably a very solid all-round performer, but it is certainly not the technological revelation which previous iterations of the series have provided.
