According to fresh information coming from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it seems that next year's "iPhone 7" could be Apple's thinnest smartphone yet, with a thickness between 6.0mm and 6.5mm.

This would be a near similar measurement of the current iPod touch's 6.1mm. The current iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models are 6.9mm and 7.1mm thick. Apple is also believed to stick to a similar Force Touch technology in next year's version of the iPhone, which could be called '3D Touch', if an earlier report proves to be true.

Kuo thinks that Apple is unlikely to switch from in-cell over to glass-on-glass touch panels next year, saying that in-cell panels won't experience production bottleneck issues. The in-cell panels production technology would allow Apple to produce an iPhone as thin as Kuo's suggested 6.0mm-6.5mm size, as the glass-on-glass method limits the ability for the company to create smaller and thinner smartphones.
