iPhone 7 rumored to get rid of the antenna stripes, waterproofing confirmed

Apple iOS Rumors

We've already heard that one of the defining features of the upcoming iPhone 7 is set to be its waterproofing. This has been 'confirmed' today by a new rumor out of China.

Both sizes of the iPhone 7 are expected to be waterproof. They will also apparently employ some "new compound materials" which will be used to hide their antennas and do away with those plastic stripes once and for all. This would let Apple streamline the iPhone design even more than before.

Around 30-35% of the iPhone 7 chassis will be made by Catcher Technology, which will remain the largest supplier of this component for Apple. The information above reportedly comes from a research firm analyzing Catcher's future sales.

As always with such things, don't forget to take everything you've just read with a solid dose of salt. Do however keep in mind that this is already the second rumor talking about waterproofing for the iPhone 7, so there may be some truth to that.

Thought I'd share my experience and wait for the backlash. I have received my Galaxy S7 Edge at the beginning of the week and am now returning for a refund. How Samsung have had the nerve to release this phone when it has so many bugs is beyon...

Just wait for I-diots to start say i7 is better because it's the 1st waterproof phone etc. Same thing happened with i6 and 4k recording.. something that even android midrangers do by now. But it's like I-diots don't believe that other phones exist...
