Like the past year, there will be two different sizes of the iPhone 7. Apple’s big event is less than a week away.

However, some rumours suggest Apple is going with iPhone 7, “to avoid confusion”.
People will soon have to decide if they are happy to go with the iPhone 7 and its optical image stabilisation, or the iPhone 7 Plus, which will also have that, on top of a dual-lens allowing for improved low-light shots that will be far sharper? Technology giant Apple is all set to launch its next iPhones, likely to be called iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, at an event in San Francisco on September 7. The camera upgrades are expected to hit only for the bigger device, while other major upgrades and omissions like the absence of 3.5mm headphone jack will be applied on both the versions.
Apple is also said to be removing the 3.5 mm headphone jack in an attempt to make the iPhone more water resistant or maybe even waterproof. Considering the anticipation of iPhone 7, it seems that the newest iPhone will be nearly similar to the last one, with a slimmer size and possible termination of the headphone jack. Besides, the invitation also reads “See you on 7th”, presumably pointing at the iPhone 7.
The removal of the headphone jack has been the highlight of every leak and rumour since the iPhone 7 leaks started.
Even though last year was the more incremental “S” year update (one where Apple often says all it changed in the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus “was everything”, which meant “everything inside”), don’t expect a flashy new design.
Apart from the headphone jack and 32GB storage model, some of the other changes rumored to be brought to iPhone 7 are redesigned antenna bands, a new haptic-feedback Home button, and possibly, a dual-rear camera setup in the larger iPhone 7 Plus. There are already some interesting and viable rumours about the iPhone 7’s camera, display and headphone jack – and you’ll find them analysed in detail below.
The Apple iPhone 7 is said to sport the Apple A10 chipset with the M10 motion co-processor. Rather, the headphone will be connected via phone lightning and Bluetooth. Since they use active noise cancellation, they need to be powered.

This is a tradition of Apple that they announce new products and new editions of different products which will be available before the Christmas holiday. The newest model also boasts of a new type of headphone named Lightning Earpods for the modern users. But the main attraction of the event is the iPhone as we already know. Why now? That’s right, it’s because the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus won’t have 3.5mm audio ports.
