“If Apple sticks to its launch schedule from a year ago, there may not be enough supply at the beginning, as some suppliers are still trying to fix low yield rates of their components”, an industry source told Nikkei. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be available for pre-order on September 16. The Mirror reorted that the China-based Commercial Times released information saying Apple are working on a new compound material that repels water.

Several users have been left angry by their handset’s vulnerability, with many taking to the Apple website to report the issue. The tech giant has scheduled an event on September 7, featuring the official launch of the 7 generation of the iPhone series.
There is no clarity on the memory of the iPhone 7. With a massive new iPhone redesign coming next year for the iPhone’s tenth anniversary, Apple’s new 2016 iPhone models will sport a look that’s strikingly similar to last year’s iPhones and the iPhone 6 lineup from back in 2014.
In a report in PhoneRadar says that the cheapest iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus will have a starting price of 5288 Yuan, which roughly translates to around Rs 53,000.
There are also rumors that the iPhone 7 could introduce wireless “AirPods” ear buds. There are also rumors that the company will be giving up its iconic home button, while other still suggest they will keep it but that there will be pressure-sensitivity added to the button instead.
The invitation seems to show lens flare – hinting that the long-standing rumour of a new iPhone with a dual camera system is true.
Apple has sent out invitations and publicity announcements for this year’s product announcement, to take place 10 a.m. PT on September 7 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
With the invitation to the product launch simply reading “See you on the 7th” many have come to the conclusion that a large focus will be placed on the camera.
Before the iPhone SE, the compact phone, namely the iPhone 5C, which arrived in colors said to feature a low price tag, however, that didn’t happen too.

The filing gives no indication as to whether Apple plans to include them with the iPhone 7 in the same way EarPod headphones have with previous iPhone models, or sell them separately.
