Preview: iPhone 7 Strategy - Can Apple Keep Pace With Samsung?

Samsung made a big splash at last month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona by introducing the Galaxy S7 Edge and Edge Plus. Now attention turns to Apple's next move. The iPhone 7 will be Apple's brand-new flagship phone for 2016, and following tradition should be announced in September. Although the final release date is still many months away, that hasn't stopped the rumour mill going crazy over the upcoming iPhone. With an all-new D-jack headphone jack, waterproofing protection and an eSIM. Loads of rumours are circulating about the screen too - will it get bigger? Will it feature a curved edge? Will it have a Touch ID display, or edge-to-edge glass? One things for sure, the new iPhone will be faster than ever, with an A10 processor and embedded M10 motion co-processor, plus 2GB of RAM. reports say that Apple might struggle to meet demand for the iPhone 7 due to earthquake damage in Taiwain to Apple supplier TSMC's factories. In early February,  reports emerged suggesting that Apple would use TSMC as its sole processor manufacturer, but the earthquake came just days later. Don't be confused by the rumoured Apple iPhone launch event expected to take place on 21 March. This is for the iPhone 5se, the 'mini' iPhone that is thought to be the first of several new iPhones launching this year. Just when will Apple launch the iPhone 7 series and will it keep pace with the Samsung Galaxy? Share your comments with the Smartphone and Tablet Zone: http://smartphoneandtabletzone.blogspot.com/
