Rumours surrounding the iPhone 7 are beginning to reach fever pitch, with the device expected to be announced in September. And if you are wondering why the iPhone 6S is the phone that “steals the show” – it is mostly because Apple are rumored to release an nearly same phone like the iPhone 6S – with only a little tweaks in its design like removing the antenna bars and headphone jack.

Apple is nearly certainly hard at work on the next iteration of the iPhone – and gadget fans around the world are speculating on what the new phone will be like. As reported by Mirror, a new Space Black color scheme is going to be introduced to the iPhone this year.
Current speculation includes the removal of the headphone port and a new Space Black colour scheme with these renders showing how both will look.
The famous circular home button has also been made into a flat, capacitive touchpad. The phones are expected to be unveiled around October this year and rumors say there may be no 16GB storage variant at all. There’s every chance that Apple could stick to conventional colour options for the launch of the next iPhone. The image, however, doesn’t show any noticeable dots on the rear of the device like you would see dots for a Smart Connector on other devices. According to an earlier report published, Bruce Sewell, General Counsel of the company, highlighted that the giant is entitled to a portion of proceedings in the App Store in exchange for overseeing the marketplace.
Indeed, ditching the standard headphone jack would render expensive headphones obsolete instantly and would likely cause people who otherwise might have bought an iPhone 7 to wait until a later model.
Therefore, Apple has to find a different way to reboot the iPhone.

Do note that most of these rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt as nothing is officially confirmed right now.
