Tech insiders are eagerly awaiting a new iPhone, which could
come as early as next month. Of course, Apple won't confirm any details on the
still-unannounced product, but if there is a new phone, it will probably be
called the iPhone 7. It’s rumored to come in two sizes, just as the current
line of
iPhone 6 does, with a 4.7-inch standard model and a 5.5-inch “Plus”
model. But there are plenty of new surprises being hinted at by way of
component leaks and gadget spy shots. Here’s what we’re currently expecting in
the next iPhone.
1. It won’t have a headphone jack.
Gone are the days of wired audio, according to this
Bloomberg report. The future of audio consumption is Bluetooth, and it just so
happens that Apple owns a Bluetooth headphone manufacturer called Beats. Saying
goodbye to a conventional headphone jack will reportedly free up enough space
to see the new iPhone fitted with a second internal speaker. And before you
freak out about having to part with your beloved wired headphones, know that
companies are already gearing up to sell you Lightning-compatible headphones.
2.There will be a souped-up camera system.
Some are expecting dual cameras on the front of the device
will work together as one in order to take high-quality photographs in even the
lowest light. Leaked photos from around the Web clearly display iPhone bodies
with two rear-facing lenses for capturing some great-looking images in any
situation.
3. The home button is being reinvented.
Rather than be a physical button, according to Forbes, it
will likely be pressure sensitive, relying on a technology called haptic
feedback. And just like the MacBook’s trackpad, it will probably vibrate in
response to use. Look for an iPhone 7’s home button to be able to do a variety
of things that other iPhone home buttons simply can’t do.
4. A newer, faster, better processor.
The processor is the brain and nervous system of every
gadget you own, and Apple is known for making nice ones. This new one will
probably be called the A10. If you want the hyper-technical dissection,
Mac Rumors has the full breakdown on the new chip’s performance.
5. A bigger battery.
What’s not to love when your beloved electronics can go
longer without needing a charge? The iPhone 6 Plus showed consumers Apple knows
how to make devices with worthwhile battery life, and the iPhone 7 is rumored
to build on this positive momentum.
6. It will likely be water resistant.
Some Android devices have impressive water-resistance
properties, even operating underwater without even the smallest of issues
occurring. We doubt you’d actually need to use your iPhone underwater, but Tech
Times reports Apple will release a more robust device than it has in the past
that can more readily handle the bumps and splashes of modern living.
7. Rumored up to 256 GB of storage.
Maybe you’re a media warrior and you simply need to travel
with your entire music and video library with you all the time. It’s never been
as possible as it will be with a 256 GB iPhone 7, which will have enough
storage space for you to go hog wild with your entertainment choices. This is
more storage than many laptops have nowadays, so go nuts.
