Whenever Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities made a prediction it turns out true later, just like every year Kuo has released a new research report which predicts for Apple's 2016 iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus and a 4-inch A9 powered iPhone, Maybe iPhone 6c.
Kuo predicts Next year iPhone will feature 3GB of RAM which is 50 percent more than the RAM in iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. A10 chip will power iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. however, Kuo says this time Apple will make a difference between 4.7-inch iPhone and 5.5-inch iPhone by giving the extra gig of RAM only to 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus and 4.7-inch iPhone 7 will retain 2GB of RAM. Kuo also said next year iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will have a revamped design. Kuo expects new A10 chip will be exclusively manufactured by TSMC. Apple is also expected to make next-generation iPhone more light weight and 6mm thin.
Kuo says Apple is still working on 4-inch iPhone and Apple could launch its new 4-inch iPhone in early 2016. New 4-inch iPhone will not support 3D Touch just to make it different from iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Kuo says Apple is expecting to ship 20-30 Million new iPhones until the end of 2016. Moreover, New 4-inch iPhone will have a metal exterior and it will feature the same A9 processor, Maybe RAM also (Not Confirmed). But Kuo also says 4-inch iPhone will be similar to upgraded iPhone 5s.
