The excitement is building up for many Apple's consumers as the date is getting closer each day to the reveal and release date of the iPhone 7, and possibly other featured versions. There are several rumors, and leaked images all across the internet, and a possibly confirmed released date?  Many rumored features   and specs for such a huge phone from such a big company. In this article, all the rumors big and small from the iPhone 7, spread across the entire internet will be held here, in one place. 


Everything We Know:

  1. No headphone jack 
  2. Pressure-sensetive home button 
  3. Improved water resistance 
  4. Dual lense camera (iPhone 7 Plus) 
  5. Similar design and concept 
  6. Redesigned antenna bands 
  7. Faster, upgraded processor 
  8. Longer battery life 
  9. Two screen sizes 
Based on the expected features according to macrumors.com, it seems like Apple is trying to go in one straight direction somewhere with their latest phone.
​No Headphone Jack: 
A phone with no headphone jack? Of course, this DOES mean something else, if there's no cable, then it MUST be wireless. Right? For instance, a great example of wireless expansion making its move into phones from other companies, is like Samsung. As a company, they've moved onto to wireless charging, with a wireless charging dock ("magnetic charging?"). ​
Now moving back to Apple, with the provided rumored specs, it indeed appears that they have moved onto wireless bluetooth earphones, or now, 'EarPods.' The headphone jack taken away will be replaced by more stereo speakers. This rumor appears to be confirmed by leaked images of the iPhone 7 dummy.

Smart Connector (iPhone 7 Plus): 
It is rumored that only the iPhone 7 Plus model will be featuring a smart connector doc. This will open up to the accessibility to third-party accessories like it is also featured on the iPad Pro, maybe even possibly wireless charging? However, this is an unconfirmed rumor that might or might not happen on the iPhone 7 Plus.

Water Resistance: 
What we all want in a phone. We all wish that when we accidentally dropped our phone into a water surface, that when we take it out, we all pray that it would still work, but it hasn't, besides the Samsung Galaxy S7.  (I mean, if there was a phone that was water resistant, then there would be no need for us to placing our phone in rice for 24 hrs.) It is rumored that when it is dropped somewhere from 6-7 feet deep into a water surface, within 30 minutes, it would be resistant to both water and dust. If this feature were to happen, it would only make its way to the iPhone 7 Plus, and I mean, it is understandable. Why water resistance wouldn't make its way to the iPhone 7 model is because since it is a relatively smaller phone, it wouldn't have enough space for the mechanisms and features that flush and discharge out the water rom the device, such places like from the lightning doc, and stereo speakers. It makes enough sense because Apple removed just one port, the headphone jack, which is just one less port or open are where water can go through. Although this is a very exciting rumor, it is still yet not confirmed.

EarPods/ Lightning Headphones: 
The removal of the headphone jack has caused several rumors that Apple might not go into wireless earphones, but that they might just make EarPods with the entry of a lightning cable. Yeah, I really doubt this is going to happen because this is an unclean appliance and look, in my opinion, and just isn't Apple as we know it is.  This rumor yet isn't confined but by most chances, due to the removal of the headphone jack, I doubt it'll happen. 

Release Date: 
As usual, the iPhone 7, 7 Plus will be released in September of this year (2016), 
 It is RUMORED that the iPhone 7, 7 Plus will be released and available in stores on...

September 16th, 2016. 

This rumor is still not yet confirmed by Apple themselves, but we will just have to wait until we get more accurate details.

Cameras and Lenses: 
It is also believed that the iPhone 7 will feature a raised camera edge, which seemed to be larger, and beveled into the exterior of the device. On the other hand, the iPhone 7 Plus will be featuring a dual sense camera. The antenna bands will be wrapped around the top and bottom of the phone, which is a change from the most recent previous iPhones. ​

Speed, Processor, Battery: 
Moving onto the interior of what might go into the iPhone 7, 7 Plus, it is also rumored that these phones will be featuring an A10 chip, for the faster processor and to improve on its speed. A faster smaller processor chip, will also result of a bigger battery, for a longer use of battery life. The bigger battery rumors are indeed confirmed, and to be specific, the battery will be gaining 14% relatively larger, probably roughly 1-2 hours of more battery life, according to Everything Apple Pro/YouTube.

Home Button: 
Onto the hardware, it is also rumored that the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be possibly getting a small home button makeover. It is believed that it will have a flush home button that would have a design and 3D touch concept, that would be as like a physical touch of the home button. The flush home button may be getting into the major key of water resistance? This rumor is not yet confirmed. while some say it might not happen, while others say it will.

Prices: 
Something that all Apple consumers want to know about. (THESE PRICES ARE RUMORED NOT CONFIRMED AND EXACT) 
Prices are listed for the base model. 
  • iPhone 7 ~$649.99 (USD) 
  • iPhone 7 Plus ~$749.99 (USD) 
  • ? iPhone 7 Pro ? ~$849.99 (USD) 
The iPhone 7 Pro is rumored to not be true at all, and that it will possibly be only the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, for now. IF the iPhone 7 Pro DOES get released it would stretch to $999.99 (USD), yeah that's right, a one-thousand dollar phone, with all model configurations. 
Everything listed above are rumors, which the public still yet doesn't know if are true, but as the day gets closer to the release date, we are getting more notified, confirmed, and configured on the accuracy of the rumors.
