As for the iPhone 7, there’s seven months in between now and it’s expected September debut, so stay tuned for more design rumors, especially if iOS 10 gives us additional hints.
Among the new products will be the iPhone 5se, which is geared to replace the iPhone 5s.
The new iPad Air 3, set to be launched on March 15, may possibly deliver the first major update to Apple’s tablet line since October 2014 when the Cupertino-based tech company introduced the iPad Air 2. But do consider that the Apple is launching their Apple watch 2 with more improvements and features expected in September along with the iPhone 7. It’s clear that the Apple Watch, while selling steadily, hasn’t exactly been the next iPhone the company was hoping for, but they’re supporting it anyway, with new watch bands.
The report claims that, according to a source that has previously provided the website with reliable information, the iPhone 7 will feature a design that is very similar to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. The modules apparently come from companies in both Japan and China, suggesting that Apple is still considering its options for the iPhone 7.
There’s also more news on the camera front.

Updates for the Apple Watch are also expected. The iPhone 7 could also possibly be the first water resistant iPhone, which is a feature many people have been asking for in an iPhone. Munster likened this to Apple’s upgrade cycle for the iPhone, which gets a total refresh every two years with incremental upgrades in-between. That said, the use of Lightning port may bring an array of new features nonetheless, including built-in EQ functionalities and the aforementioned adaptive noise cancelation. 9to5Mac reports that Apple has been testing a series of NATO-style nylon bands.
