Kuo’s report also adds weight to previous speculation that the iPhone 7 could follow the Galaxy S7 with waterproofing. Apple hears you, iPhone fans, but this humpback battery case is all you’re going to get.

Asides from the iPhone 7, the company is also expected to launch the new Apple Watch 2, and announce roll out details of the iOS 10.
So what do you think of the rumors surrounding Apple’s upcoming iPhone 7? A new iPhone but with surprises One of the problems that Apple often faces these days is that its products get leaked left, right and center and most of it is already known before the unveil. The size options – 4.7-inches and 5.5-inches – will be the same, as will the resolutions, but the screens will “copy” the visual features of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. This is predicted to be its raw power, but then a lower clock speed should be welcomed to prevent overheating, inefficient power management and consumption, and unmanageable performance. One thing of note is that the benchmarks on the iPhone 7 Plus call out only 2GB of RAM. It says that the dual-camera setup will include one wide-angle camera and one telephoto camera. Apple is bringing 128GB as the storage choice that is middle, and is, in addition, saying farewell to the mid 64GB alternative. The D10 is reportedly the Apple iPhone 7 while the other two were for the Apple iPhone 7 Plus and the Apple iPhone 7 Pro.
Other features that Kuo has predicted included in the iPhone 7 is an earpiece that also doubles as a speaker for better sound reproduction when parking the iPhone on landscape, IPX7 water resistance, a laser-based proximity sensor and, finally, FeliCa NFC technology for the Japanese market.
The phone itself will be available in five colours with the existing rose gold, gold, and silver models as well as the introduction of dark black version and a piano black model. A new fifth color would be glossy piano black. Apple acquired Beats for $3 billion in 2014. This supports the year long rumor saying that the company is sacrificing the 3.5 mm jack to alter the phones’ design.
In response, Apple has ratcheted up research and development spending, which reached $8.1 billion in the year ended September 2015, from $2.4 billion in 2011.

Kuo predicts that a total of 60-65 million units (both units) will be sold until the end of the year. And Apple used to make iPhones in black, as recently as 2012 with the iPhone 5.
