Games aren’t using the full hardware potential, but it will come… eventually
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have yet to be officially announced, but it seems that there are rumors swirling about regarding 2016’s iPhone, the iPhone 7. The rumors come courtesy of DigiTimes who claims that the iPhone 7 could turn to the use of familiar technology found in the early iPhone models.
This technology is none other than glass-on-glass display technology which has since been replaced by in-cell display tech. The reason is apparently because in-cell display tech is notoriously hard to produce, meaning that delays in production can largely be attributed to it. It has also reportedly held back the use of higher resolution displays as vendors are finding it impossible to make display resolutions as high as 4K with them.
This isn’t to say that future iPhones will sport 4K displays, but the return to glass-on-glass should at least open up the possibilities. Of course the end result is that the iPhones could be thicker due to the use of the technology, but perhaps Apple might find a way to further shrink the components in the phone to offset any potential thickness.
It has also been suggested that glass-on-glass could result in an iPhone that could sport a thinner bezel, something that we have actually heard about earlier this year. Take it with a big grain of salt for now and lets focus on the next-gen iPhones first before worrying about next year’s models!
