The iPhone 7 (or whatever Apple calls this next model) may be a relatively minor upgrade, but next year the company is expected to make some huge changes to its design. Now a new report claims to confirm one major detail for the 2017 smartphone.
Bloomberg reports that the 2017 iPhone will ship without a home button of any kind as Apple “focuses more heavily on the display.” The news follows previous reports that Cupertino will opt for a curved OLED display similar to the Galaxy Note 7 for next year’s iPhone. Samsung might even supply the display panels, according to earlier rumors.
Ditching the home button would allow the 2017 iPhone to potentially offer a totally bezel-free design, assuming Apple can also integrate the front-facing camera into the display. The company is also expected to ship the iPhone 7 with a new 3D home button, potentially paving the way to remove the iconic design entirely a year later.
Bloomberg casually dropped its latest iPhone news into a larger story about how Apple is working with Japanese companies to adopt the FeliCa tap-to-pay system used widely in the country. The technology is different from NFC, meaning Cupertino may have to develop a special smartphone variant just for Japan. Whether the new model is ready this year for the iPhone 7 or next year when the device gets a major makeover remains to be seen.
