It's going to be a bad year for the iPhone
- sounds 10y agoThis matches the anecdata I have collected. So yeah, I'm not an industry analyst at all, not even close. But this article matches what I've seen: - iPhone 6, 6+, 6S are popular - iPhone 7, 7+, 7 Pro looks like they will be meh, not much of an upgrade - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is outselling iPhone 6S in the US [1] - The 2017 iPhone (10th year anniversary iPhone) will have the wall-to-wall display like the S7 Edge and might even do away with the home button (put the fingerprint sensor right into the touchscreen). Apple is putting out the iPhone 7 as a meh upgrade so that there will be pent-up demand for the 2017 iPhone. - Google will probably release a phone built entirely in-house to compete with Apple tl;dr Apple plans to have a meh 2016, then come back really strong in 2017 [1] The article links to this as a source: http://www.kantarworldpanel.com/global/News/Apple-versus-Samsung-is-so-over http://www.kantarworldpanel.com/global/News/Apple-versus-Sam...
