Bendgate might have been banished by the addition of an essentially unbendable 7000 series aluminium chassis to the iPhone 6s Plus, but the continued existence of rubberised exterior elements still spoil the aesthetic for many owners. The dark-grey bands on the iPhone are there to aid antenna reception, but do little to endear it to lovers of clean lines and smooth sides. Happily, it's been reported by a fair few industry insiders that Apple might be ditching the different materials in favour of an all-metal exterior. HTC arguably did it first, but, then, both HTC and Apple have taken pages out of one another's playbooks for years (take a look at the HTC One A9 went furthest of all) and it doesn't look like there'll be anything to complain about. An iPhone that's aluminium all over is no bad thing. Provided Apple can keep its chips cool something it achieved with remarkable success on the 6 Plus, and something the efficiency of 10mn-made processors should assist with it could mean the iPhone 7 is the slickest and slimmest to date.
Happy-snapping worldly wordsmith. In between snapping street shots, tapping out stellar prose and having more hair-brained ideas than a barber with a bachelor's in business, you'll find him fumbling with the latest fitness fads and dreaming of a debut in F1 (he's a late bloomer, OK?).
