We are now a little bit into the year 2017. As the year wound down and January “heated up,” there are a number of rumors pertaining to what people think may be happening with the various smartphones this year. The rumors are typically based on one of these sources:
The current model
Patents
Analysts
Leaked information
Supply chain
Here’s a quick rundown as to what may be happening this year outside of the normal hardware upgrades that are typically expected:
iPhone
This is going to be the tenth year anniversary and naming may go with the usual “S” increment or skip it entirely given this is a special year. Here’s the quick rundown:
- No physical home button
- Wireless charging
- OLED display
- Multi-sensor camera
Samsung Galaxy Note S8
Samsung is in need of “hitting it out of the park” considering the problems the S7 had catching fire.
- Foldable design
- Duel screen design
- Artificial intelligence voice assistant
The important thing to realize is the smartphone market is reaching the saturation point. This article here shows. The focus is now going to be a maximization of the different things apps can do. The Mobile App Maker Pro site has over 40 types of pages you can add. There is some overlap in capability but couple this with over a dozen layouts and you have a flexible platform to build an app that resembles no other in existence. To give it a try you can click this link and you will have access to the “Test Account” which is just like the live one in every way minus the capability to publish an app.
