iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus: Expected specs, features, leaked price and everything you need to know
In less than a week's time the world is going to go crazy. One more time. Those who are even remotely aware of Apple's annual launch events must also be aware of the mania that surrounds new iPhone every year. On September 7, Apple will launch iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
Since the launch of iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, rumors of iPhone 7 had already started coming in. And by now we have a fair idea of what this phone will be all about. The keyword here is “idea”. Nothing is confirmed yet.
Here's a list of all the specifications, features and everything in and about iPhone 7 that have leaked on internet:
What to expect:
— Some were expecting Apple to come up with a revolutionary design, but the reports so far have suggested otherwise. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will look more or less like the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
— There are going to be changes but they will most likely be incremental. The leaked images of both the phones have shown redesigned antenna lines. No, they won't be in a cool, snazzy shape but simply moved towards the edges. The bigger phone, iPhone 7 Plus, is expected to come with a dual-camera. So that can be counted as a new design element.
— Continuing on the camera specs, the iPhone 7 Plus' dual-camera is rumoured to be equipped with a wider, brighter lens. This means iPhone's already good photos will get better.
— iPhone 7 will have a 4.7-inch display, while the iPhone 7 Plus will get a 5.5-inch screen.
— Another prominent change will be the absence of 3.5mm audio jack from iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. A recent report has suggested Apple will unveil a new Dr Dre Beats product at the event. Could this be the bundled earphone? It could be.
— iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are most probably getting the latest A10 processor. Considering A9 was already one of the fastest processors out there, Apple can't go wrong with A10.
— Apple is also planning to kill the 16GB iPhone. Reports have suggest that the company will even launch a 256GB iPhone this year.
— The smaller iPhone will carry 2GB RAM and iPhone 7 Plus will most likely have 3GB of RAM.
— Following Apple's tradition, iOS 10 will roll out with the launch of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The OS is already in beta stage.
— Some reports have also suggested that Apple will drop the home button from both the phones. This means the physical home button will be replaced by a touch-sensitive surface, which will also double up as the fingerprint sensor.
When to expect:
After the launch of the phones, Apple is expected to start shipping from September 16. But for Indian users the date could stretch to late September or even October.
Price:
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are not expected to be pricier than their predecessors considering the falling sales. The iPhone 7 should be priced around Rs 62,000 and iPhone 7 Plus should cost somewhere around Rs 72,000.
