According to Forbes, Evan Blass has confirmed that the previously rumored launch date is true and that iPhone 7 will be debuting on september 7, with Blass stating that the Cupertino giant really loves Wednesdays. However, a new patent suggests there could be at least one significant improvement.

Apple now offers zero waterproof smartphones. Currently, Apple has yet to make any water proof device but there are numerous water proof cases available for the iPhone and iPad.
Other rumors surrounding Apple’s next flagship smartphone-expected to be unveiled next month-suggest the device will be thinner and feature stereo speakers for the first time. BGR is especially upset about the lack of headphone jack.
Aside from that, the leaked photos of the iPhone 7 also revealed the missing 3.5mm headphone jack, which is replaced with another grille.
As Quartz’s Mike Murphy points out, if Apple is working on tools to ensure that underwater photos look great, then it’s not a great leap to assume that the photos would be snapped on an iPhone.
With Apple preparing for a release that’s unlikely to see any design overhauls and not the much in the way of groundbreaking features, some Apple fans are already looking forward to next year’s handset.
The images show the iPhone in colors of space black, pink and bronze. As Nilay Patel argued for The Verge, Apple could easily include software that would prevent illegally downloaded or streamed content from being played through the Lightning port, something that wasn’t possible with the standard headphone jack.
As the rumors says that there is no information about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
The images, which come from phone fix company GeekBar and were spotted by MacRumors, have part of the standard home button cut-out visible in them. While we can claim we know almost everything about the iPhone 7, surprises cannot be ruled out as Apple has not officially spoken about the device. There are no market competitor as far as Apple’s product are concerned, he added.

The new material will also remove the need for Apple to include the two antenna bands across the back of the handset, which now feature on the iPhone 6S. And just like the P9, the two rear cameras in the iPhone 7 Plus are likely to use two different image sensors – one, a full colour sensor and the other a monochrome sensor.
