Apple is currently prepping the Billy Graham Civic Auditorium for the much-anticipated debut of the iPhone 6S and 6S in the coming days, 9to5Mac reported. If a new report is any indication, that's not the only thing Apple is preoccupied with.

A recent tip from the foremost Apple analyst suggests that the Cupertino-based tech giant is already working on next year's rumored iPhone 7, and the report doesn't get any bigger than that.

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a note acquired by Apple Insider, the iPhone 7 will be between 6.0 and 6.5 millimeters thick.

If the information is true, next year's iPhone will be the thinnest iPhone ever developed. It will be close to one millimeter thinner than the iPhone 6 and will feel much like the iPod touch and iPad Air 2 more than any previous iPhones.

"Apple and its suppliers have invested heavily in iPhone Force Touch in 2015 and we believe 2016 new models will stick with a similar Force Touch structure as used in 2015," the analyst stated.

Kuo then continued that Apple is slowly transitioning from in-cell to glass-on-glass touch panels to better suit the Force Touch feature which will likely become the staple for iOS-run device moving forward, then again slowly since current technology still hinders the possibility of glass-on-glass solutions on a six-millimeter iPhone.

 "Although glass-on-glass panels allow for the possibility of a bezel-free iPhone, it also limits the ability for the company to create smaller and thinner smartphones, so if KGI's claim of an iPod Touch-size iPhone is true, it will make most sense for the company to keep using in-cell panels," Mac Rumors speculated.

Kuo might not be an Apple insider although his track record on Apple devices has one time lead Business Insider to dub him "the most accurate Apple analyst in the world" and BGR to call him as the "most reliable industry watcher on the planet."

It can be remembered that it was also Kuo who earlier hinted that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro would be released in time for the Holidays this year.

In an earlier note that Kuo sent to Apple Insider, he wrote that mass production of the iPad Pro is set to begin this September. Meanwhile, its distribution and eventual release could come as early as late October or early November, with the latter being the most likely.

Kuo clarified that although he is fascinated with 12.9inch iPad Pro's Force Touch sensor, he does not believe it as its main draw. This ran counter to his statements last April when he announced that the new pressure-sensitive input system would be the most significant improvement to the iOS feature.
