iPhone 7 with projector article

I'll begin by saying I always take reports like this with a HUGE grain of salt -- we know projectors in phones are coming, and we know PicoP will be part of that - when & how that comes to pass, we don't know.

IF this is true, it is possible that Apple has their own projector in the works. 

I'm quite sure that any mainstream news about little projectors embedded in devices will be good for MicroVision.

Projector:

According to the rumors, iPhone 7 is expected to have an in-built projector. This is not going to be the only phone to flaunt this feature as Samsung Galaxy Beam has a built-in projector that enables larger viewing experience via phone. But as we all know, Samsung follows in the footsteps on Apple and it has never been the other way around. May be, Apple would teach Samsung a lesson or two on how to incorporate a new technology! If this rumor comes true, most of users who work at corporate houses and use projectors for PowerPoint presentation would rush to buy it.

iPhone 7 rumors from IBTimes

This is one of those "take it for what it's worth" posts.

It is a reasonable seeming source, I don't know where they got the information for this. After looking at a lot of the rest of the site, most of what they post seems very legit.

I'm not advocating believing this, or disbelieving it, but it's there, and I've clipped the pertinent paragraphs for you.

"Rumours or no rumours, it is inevitable that newer versions will follow the popular iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, respectively. It wouldn't hurt if the public will take a glimpse on speculations about the iPhone 7 based on iPhone7update.com report and check what to expect from it."

Projector

Apparently, the iPhone 7 will follow the lead of Samsung's Galaxy Beam which features a built-in projector that provides larger viewing experience from the convenience of user's phone. But Apple will definitely come up with something that could outwit Samsung's prior innovation, something that will entice the business people to give in to their product.

iPhone 7 -- THIS year?

I had to post this because it's out there. 

It is possible... so far the genesis of this is what I regard as dubious.

I'll be looking for more than a little confirmation before I give this much weight.

iPhone 7 specs and release date rumors start to circulate after Apple released new gadgets recently.

Rumors are even starting to point at the possibility of having another Apple launch this year, this time for the iPhone 7.

This assumption has been made after Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty implied that Apple now has devised a way for multiple product launches in a year.  Her statement was timely released after a meeting with Apple CEO Time Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer.

Projector

iPhone 7 is the next generation smartphone and is expected to be loaded with some amazing and exclusive features and functions that will rule the market. Apple is said to be working on developing a built-in projector for its new device. Moreover, if Apple successfully installs this application in the device, fans will certainly enjoy this app and eagerly look forward for its launch. Projector will also enable users to project their presentations or movies on a wall or flat surface, thus enriching the viewing experience of smartphone users.

According to rumours, Apple's iPhone 7 may hit the market this year after the company rolled out new gadgets recently.

This assumption was made after Morgan Stanley analyst, Katy Huberty implied that Apple has now devised a way for launching multiple products in one year.

Her timely statement was released after a meeting with Apple CEO, Time Cook and CFO, Peter Oppenheimer.

Hunerty's statement along with the fact that Apple released two iPhones in 2013 - iPhone 5s and 5c - made the rumour even more convincing. According to her, this development which can be likened to the quick release of the iPad 3 and 4, might also up the ante in iPhone updates and releases.

Despite the promising statement, Huberty did not confirm any specific plan for the iPhone line, including the highly-anticipated iPhone 7 release date. Also, considering that Apple did release two iPhones this year - the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus - the possibility of releasing the iPhone 7 this year seems very unlikely.

However, despite the unofficial iPhone 7 specs and release date rumours, Apple smartphone fanatics are still looking forward to the ne iPhone 7 which boasts of better battery life and possibly even a built-in projector. 

According to the blog iPhone7update.com, the new iPhone 7 battery will be using organic materials to replace traditional Li-On batteries. This new battery technology promises to give extended hours of battery life. The blog also claims that Apple has been working on built-in projector technology for future iPhones and iPads.  

The projector will enable users to automatically project presentations or movies without having to connect their phones to a separate equipment. If this would prove to be successful, the iPhone 7 might be the first Apple product to debut the technology.
