This year's follow-up to the iPhone 6S may not entice a lot of buyers, according to a new poll. iPhone sales sank for the first time in the first quarter of 2016 and are expected to show another drop in the second quarter. A new design on the phone, likely to be called the iPhone 7, might spur interest. But many reports say this year's model will have only minor physical changes and that next year's version will be the one to thrill consumers with enticing enhancements. Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Back to the poll results: Around 46 percent said they wouldn't at all be likely to upgrade to this year's iPhone if it didn't get an overhaul, Around 33 percent said they wouldn't be so likely to do so, And 11 percent said they would be somewhat likely to upgrade, Altogether, 90 percent of the respondents essentially said "meh" to a new iPhone without major new features, A report that popped up olixar attache premium iphone x leather-style protective case - black in May from Japan's Nikkei newspaper said Apple might switch to a three-year cycle for each major new iPhone upgrade instead of the current two-year cycle, How might the respondents react to that move? A hefty 70 percent said they would be somewhat, very or extremely likely to change their upgrade habits to match Apple's three-year cycle..
That's assuming Apple doesn't add any sexy, must-have features to this year's model. The next iPhone may not exactly shoot up the sales charts, according to a new poll conducted by online magazine Quartz. Just 10 percent of US iPhone owners said they would be likely or very likely to upgrade this year if Apple doesn't redesign its marquee product, according to a survey of 525 US iPhone owners. That's a significant difference from the 25 percent of respondents either extremely interested or very interested in upgrading with each new iPhone redesign.
Google has scheduled an event for October 4 at which it is expected to launch the next generation of its Android phones, Breaking away from the Nexus name, which has served as the company's in-house phone brand since 2008, the phones will be called olixar attache premium iphone x leather-style protective case - black the Pixel and Pixel XL, according to a report by Android Police, with pricing reportedly starting at $649, Back in April, veteran leaker Evan Blass reported that HTC was building devices that would run Android Nougat, Google's recently released operating system, He also reported that there would be two models -- a larger phone, equipped with a 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED display with a 2,560x1440-pixel resolution; and a smaller device, featuring a 5-inch full HD display with a 1,920x1080-pixel resolution, (CNET's rumor roundup contains additional speculation and hearsay.)..
Though we can't say how the new phones will stack up against Nexus models currently on the market, not to mention the recently released Apple iPhone 7, phone shoppers looking to make a purchase in the near term will likely have an expanded lineup of choices come October 4. Editors' note: The original Google Nexus 6P review, published in October 2015, follows. In my mind, there are two things that a Nexus-branded phone is supposed to do, and the Google Nexus 6P does them both very well. First, it's meant to showcase the very newest Android software. Check! (So does the cheaper, smaller LG-made Nexus 5X.) Second, it should package together very capable hardware for a lower sticker price than more familiar brand-name competitors. Yep, that it does. (See our pricing chart below.).
