In July the tech giant announced it had sold the billionth unit of its smartphone, first introduced in 2007 and the product that has become the driving force behind Apple’s rise to one of the most valuable companies in the world. On the battery front, it’s not clear if Apple plans to boost battery size on both phones, which still remains a weak point on the iPhone. Around 87 percent of iPhone users expect to purchase an iPhone as their next phone and 76 percent of Android users say they will be buying an Android phone.
Apple and its fans across the world are now focusing on the upcoming release of the new iPhone 7. And in any case, next year will be the tenth anniversary of the iPhone which is when Apple will give everything it’s got to a new device.

Apple is sticking with the similar 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display sizes for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. While the iPhone 7 32GB is said to cost CNY 5288, the 128GB and 256GB variants are expected to costs CNY 6088 and CNY 7088 respectively. This year might not see such a change, instead going for a modified version of last year’s model instead of a major change. The iPhone 7 Plus is a bit more hard to nail down, because of those rumoured extra features.
“Update 25/07: Serial leaker @evleaks has revealed that the iPhone 7 (and, indeed, the iPhone 7 Plus) will hit shelves on the “. week of September 12th”.
Rumors about wireless Earbuds, so called AirPods, are real says KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo just hours ahead of the iPhone 7 media event.
For the better part of 2016, Apple watchers have been obsessing about one little hole smaller than the size of a green pea. There is also a possibility that iPhone 7’s double lens camera will allow us to take 3D pictures.
Early rumours have suggested that the iPhone 7 will come with a wired pair of Lightning EarPods to be used to connect to the USB Type-C port, effectively doing away with the 3.5mm audio port.
Apple is Upbeat: Meanwhile, Apple seems to be confident enough that the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be received enthusiastically because the company has increased production orders by a whole 10 per cent, according to reports by Digitimes. Manufactured by TSMC, the new chip will offer a maximum clock speed of 2.4 GHz.
