Apple iPhone 7 will be released by the first week of September. According to rumors, the iPhone 7 will be released on September 16 with pre-orders starting three days after the launch event. There are few sources which claim the release date of iPhone 7 as September 9.

Even though the above-mentioned release dates are not final, leaker @evleaks has claimed that Apple is gearing up to send out media invites. In this article, we will examine the top six important facts which you need to know about iPhone 7.

iPhone 7/iPhone 7 Plus vs iPhone 6s

With the release of iPhone 7, Apple is switching to a three-year design cycle. Hence, you need not have to expect big changes in terms of physical design. However, iPhone 7 will not feature the traditional headphone jack and shaky antenna bands on the rear of the handset. You can also expect a thinner iPhone 7 with only 7mm thickness. You can surely expect the integration of iOS 10 which has plenty of new features.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Camera Quality

The main attraction of iPhone 7 is the integration of brilliant imaging functionalities. According to reports, the camera included with the iPhone 7 will perform like a premium DSLR camera. Moreover, you can expect improvements to video.

The iPhone 7 Pro will be most likely shipped with a dual-camera lens manufactured by LG. The standard variant of iPhone 7 will offer OIS in addition to updated sensor, optics, and software. The upcoming iOS 10 will offer several filters for both imaging and video functions.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Water Resistant

If rumors are to be believed, the new smartphone will be equipped with water-resistant capabilities. Even if the standard version doesn’t ship with this feature, you can expect the addition of both dust and water resistant functions in the Pro version.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus 32GB Default Storage

It has been rumored for the past several months that the forthcoming iPhone 7 will ditch 16GB storage to accommodate 32GB as default storage capacity. You can expect Apple to add storage up to 256GB for Pro variants.

The increase in the default storage space is attributed to growing number of apps. You can’t expand the storage space with SD cards. Hence, the 32GB default storage will prove very useful for consumers.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Home Button

Instead of a physical home key, Apple will integrate Force Touch technology. This means you can simply tap on the glass to perform work. According to reports, the iPhone 2017 will feature Touch ID built directly into the display.

Apple saves all design changes for 2017

You will be disappointed if you are on a look out for big design changes. In 2016, you can expect minor design changes in the form of an incremental update. Apple has saved all the major design changes for 2017 to celebrate the 10th anniversary. As per reports coming in, Apple will integrate AMOLED display and physical home buttons directly on the display in 2017.
