The iPhone 7 is slated for a release in September 2016. It may be too early to predict anything about the device. However, here are a few leaks that have been doing rounds in the media.
ScreenThe screen is expected to get a huge boost in terms of display resolution. There are rumours that indicate a QHD or a 4K screen this time around. The display size is expected to remain either 4.7 or 5.5 inch. Some trusted tech blogs have been indicating that there could be a few design changes in the display. There hs also been a talk about the switch from LCD to OLED technology.
A edge to edge display is rumoured to be a possibility with iPhone 7.3D Touch is expected to make a comeback. What I would love to see is the resolution being bumped to 1080p.
CameraThe camera is not expected to see any changes. The iPhone 6 has seen the resolution of the camera from 8MP to 12 MP. It does not seem to be changing anytime soon. However, we may expect a few tweaks. The most expected is Optical image stabilisation. The camera lens is expected to get bigger.
BatteryThe low battery life has been the most frequent issues that were reported with respect to iPhone 6. Apple is expected to hike up the battery size this time.
Hardware and softwareA possibility of a Hexacore processor is doing the rounds. With the plethora of phones launching with Octa core processors, that is exactly waht is least expected from Apple. The RAM is likely to be upped to 3 GB RAM.
If the rumours in the tech blog arena are to be believed, iPhone 7 is likely to bring a Hexacore Apple A10 chipset. But seeing what Apple has been upto all these years, we may safely expect a quadcore processor and a 2 GB RAM. 3 GB RAM is most unlikely.
The iPhone 7 will coincide with the launch of iOS 10. That would be the biggest leap for iPhone fans. The
best features that iOS 10 promises would definitely be the huge USP for iPhone 7.
The
storage capacity of the iPhone 7 is expected to be upped to 32 GB from the current 16 GB for the basic variant. The move appears to have been a result of stiff competition from Android counterparts.
We have also being flooded with numerous leaks about what iPhone 7 is likely to offer you. The possibility of a dual SIM variant has been doing the rounds.
However, Apple has come on record stating that the new iteration of iPhone will have minor changes with respect to previous generations, while the major overhaul is likely in the 2017 models.
PricingThe speculations are rife about the pricing as of now. The 32 GB basic variant is expected to be priced at around Rs. 52000 while the 64 GB and 256 GB versions expected to be priced at Rs. 61000 and Rs. 71000 respectively.
