iPhone 7, regardless of all the mixed comments pouring over the internet, is forever and ever one of the most popular smartphones every one wishes to have/is curious about. iPhone 7 is nowhere close to its release date, yet rumors are suggesting these interesting features just don’t want to miss.
1. No headphone jack.
Without question, the most startling design change to the iPhone 7 may be its lack of a headphone jack. What started out as a crazy rumor has since been corroborated by a number of varying sources. According to reports, Apple will completely remove the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack and instead rely on the Lightning port for audio. Doing so will not only save space, thus allowing for a thinner iPhone, but will also improve the overall sound quality. A Fast Company report from last week claimed that the iPhone 7’s “audio system will also leverage a new noise-canceling technology” that will be “baked into the phone and also into the headphones that will plug into it, and will help remove background noise in music playback and in phone calls…”
The only question, though, is how big the backlash will be if Apple actually does abandon the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack? Will consumers protest and take their wallets elsewhere, or will this eventually blow over with time, much like other instances where Apple has abandoned legacy technologies.
2. Apple Iphone 7 – Winner of Design – Do you still remember our previous article about 6 of the most gorgeous Apple iPhone 7 concepts introduced to the tech world by aspiring designers? Did you just simply fall in love with at least one of them? Apple is believed to be working their best to give iPhone 7 a stunning design with slim body and premium metal material. Whether they will choose to keep their signature design alive or give this phone a totally new look, we trust Apple to make a right decision of how this beast looks like
3. New form factor – While the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus display sizes will be the same as what Apple already uses on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, it stands to reason that the iPhone 7 will introduce a new look and feel to Apple’s smartphone lineup. Indeed, every major iPhone upgrade (the iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6) has incorporated new design elements and there’s no reason to think that the iPhone 7 will be any different. One safe bet is that the iPhone 7 will be even thinner than the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
4. Dual camera set up – Earlier Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst from KGI, has supported the rumor that Apple is packing a dual camera set-up. If this becomes real, iPhone 7 will not be the first one to feature such sensor, yet contribute to make it a more popular trend for smartphones launched in 2016. What do you think about the idea that, a smartphone has not one, but 2 cameras to support one another and produce the best image quality possible?
5. Waterproof design – One of the side benefits to eliminating the headphone jack is that it makes it easier to waterproof the iPhone. After all, it’s one less port for water to creep into and wreak havoc with the circuitry. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen reports that the iPhone 7 will be completely dust and waterproof and may very well come with an IP68 rating. If this pans out, the iPhone 7 would be able to withstand submersion under water at great depths and still operate swimmingly after the fact.
6 . Wireless Charging – Though smartphones from companies like Samsung have had wireless charging for some time, Apple will reportedly jump on the bandwagon with the iPhone 7. Apple, we should point out, isn’t completely new to the world of wireless charging as that’s how the Apple Watch is charged.
7. OLED display and 3GB RAM – iPhone has always received mixed feed backs from its users and non-users for having such a small RAM (never passing 2GB). This time, with the brand new iPhone 7, it is being rumored that the smartphone will have an improvement with up to 3GB RAM. Besides, there will be an OLED display in exchange for LCD display used in the current iPhone 6. If this happens to be true, iPhone 7 will be making huge changes for what we know about Apple smartphones.
7. Bigger battery – Battery life has long been a sore spot for some iPhone users. Of course, this is arguably a good problem as it shows that consumers love using their iPhones. With respect to Apple’s next-gen iPhone 7, a recently surfaced report claims that the battery packs on the iPhone 7 models may have more capacity than the ones used on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Specifically, the iPhone 7 Plus model may be graced with a 3100 man battery. In contrast, the iPhone 6s Plus battery is 2750 mAh. If this translates into longer battery life, that may be a strong impetus for folks to upgrade.
6. There will be a 4-inch Apple iPhone 7c – And yes, Apple does have a plan to bring back that affordable 4 inch variant of their premium phones. If nothing changes, it seems very much like we will have iPhone 7c some time after they launch iPhone 7 flagship. There is not much information unveiled about this variant, yet we spotted a render design
9. More RAM
Unfortunately, this rumor only pertains to the iPhone 7 Plus. According to reputable KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will bestow the iPhone 7 Plus with 3GB of RAM, a slight bump up from the 2GB of RAM currently found in the company’s iPhone 6s lineup. While this rumor has a 50-50 shot of being true, it’s widely believed that the iPhone 7 model will ship with 2GB of RAM.
10. Blazing Fast and power efficient A10 processor – With each successive iPhone release, Apple manages to greatly improve both the performance and power efficiency of its processors. That being the case, it’s reasonable to assume that the iPhone 7 will house a blazing fast A10 processor.
Some rumors we’ve seen thus far have suggested that the A10 will deliver a performance boost of 20% while simultaneously reducing power consumption by 40%, relative to the iPhone 6s. Coupled with larger capacity battery packs (see above), we can only hope that the iPhone 7 models will really deliver a notable uptick in battery performance.
11. Earlier release date – Since the iPhone 4s hit store shelves in 2011, every new iPhone has launched sometime during the Fall. In 2016, Apple may decide to switch things up. According to an AppleInsider report from this past November, Apple may release its next-gen iPhone model sometime during the Summer.
