What the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus may have

There are rumours that the new to-be-released iPhone 7 may come with a 7 Plus companion in sizes of 4.7″ and 5.5″, juts like the iPhone 6 did. We expect Apple to launch it in September, possibly dropping the device numbering system and calling it the “iPhone Pro”. We’ll have to wait and see.

Here are a few things the tech world is expecting:

  • the iPhone 7 may be slightly thicker than the 6s variants, with 7 at  7.2mm (0.3mm thicker than iPhone 6) and iPhone 7 Plus at 7.3mm (0.2mm thicker than iPhone 6 Plus). It’s expected to be thinner (with the removal of its headset jack) than its predecessor and may have a less protruding camera.

  • the screen resolution in the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be the same as in the 6s and 6s Plus, unless the 7 gets the resolution of the 6s Plus while the screen in the 7 Plus gets an even better resolution
  •  a 2K AMOLED Force Touch display
  • iPhone 7 will have 2GB RAM while iPhone 7 Plus gets 3GB RAM and new generation A10 processors. This may mean bigger batteries and thus longer battery life.
  • device storage may be increased from 16GB to 32/64/12GB options
  • iPhone 7 will have single while iPhone 7 Plus will have dual cameras.

  • The back of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus may have ceramic backs instead of aluminium as in previous phones, to allow for wireless charging.
  • There are also rumours that it may come waterproof.

Note that these are NOT facts about the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus’s specs, but are a summary of expectations. All specifications will be revealed when both devices are launched.
