What We Want In The iPhone 7 (AAPL)

The iPhone 6 was just released into the wild last week, and so far it's selling like crazy

People are loving the bigger screen, the better camera specs, and the new larger sizes. 

Leading up to the Apple event on Sept. 9, though, there was a ton of speculation and rumors bouncing around about what the iPhone 6 would possibly have. We pretty much knew the device would come in two sizes as far back as February. And we even had an inkling that the camera lens would protrude.

But then there are the rumors that didn't pan out. So let's raise a glass to those guys, and hopefully we'll see them in the next iteration of the phone, or at least the iPhone 7 a few years from now.  

Sapphire glass

We thought we'd see GT Advanced Technology's ultra-durable sapphire glass on the iPhone 6 display, but Apple only put it on the camera. It's also going to be used in the upcoming Apple Watch. 

Sapphire is more scratch resistant than Corning's Gorilla Glass, which has been used on previous iPhone models.

Upgrading the iPhone's display would make buying the pricey phones that much more bearable.



A reversible USB charger

When Apple replaced the 30-pin connector with the reversible Lightning cable, Macheads jumped for joy. 

Introducing a reversible USB cable is a little thing that would improve the iPhone user experience, especially for people who find themselves glued to their phones.



Wireless charging

While we're on the topic of charging, wireless charging would be a major perk for the iPhone 7.

The technology already exists, Apple just needs to scale it for the masses.



An even higher-resolution screen

We realize the iPhone 6 just gave users a major display upgrade, but we think there's no such thing as a display with too many pixels.

Since Apple released the iPhone 6 Plus, users will be watching even more video, and they'll need a display with the resolution to match.



Better battery life

The iPhone 6 may have a better battery than its predecessors, but iPhone users have always wanted better battery life, and they always will.
