Design
In recent years, Apple
has alternated annually between major design changes and minor upgrades. That's
expected to change in 2016. Perhaps the most dramatic change still in play
would be the addition of a rumored third "Pro" model. According to
multiple sources, Apple's portfolio, which was already extended to include the
new in March 2016, may soon include an iPhone 7, an iPhone 7 Plus -- and
an iPhone 7 Pro.But recent rumors have suggested that Apple will probably stick
with only two models.
The other big change involves the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
If true and it is! Apple could bundle new Lightning-tipped EarPod headphones (or sell
them separately). Or it could throw in a Lightning-to-minijack adapter. And of course
since Apple owns Beats we can expect some new wireless PowerBeats to arrive alongside iPhone 7.This
change would allow the iPhone 7 to be the first model with true stereo sound.
A redesigned
home button would be included in iPhone 7. A Force Touch home button. Apple
would make it similar to the Force Click touch pad included on the
latest model MacBooks.
Camera
Many sources
are expecting a significant change in quality with the iPhone 7's camera. It
appears to suggest that the new iPhone 7 models will have optical image
stabilization capabilities. Some sources include that the dual camera would
likely be included on the 5.5-inch-screen iPhone 7 Plus and/or Pro and probably
not the standard 4.7-inch-screen iPhone 7.
Battery
Apple will
upgrade the iPhone 7 battery to 1960 mAh from the iPhone 6s would go from 1715 mAh.
That would give you extra 90 minutes on video playback time.
Storage
Another
possible advantage of the new iPhone may be full waterproofing.
On the
component front, an analyst firm has predicted that the iPhone 7 will support a
whopping 256GB (Great! Isn’t it) of storage space and will get a memory boost
to 3GB in the 5.5-inch model. iPhone 7 models will come with storage starting
at 32GB.
