Blass’ date does not come as a surprise since Apple has released the past two iPhones in September 2014 and 2015.

At the beginning we thought it would be two (like in the past couple of years), but then some rumors out of China claimed there would actually be a trio – the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and the even more expensive iPhone 7 Pro.
If history repeats itself, Apple is likely to release iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 first week of September 2016. To me, this is a safe bet! It’s not a secret that Apple is usually looking to start selling new iPhone models towards the end of the week, so the press conference to introduce this year’s version could take place on Wednesday or Thursday, with sales to being the next day.
Recent reports have suggested Apple will include a 3.5mm to Lightning convertor with the iPhone 7 to support earphones that use the jack. Apple is launching iPhone 6s and 6s Plus in 12 regions including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. Nonetheless, it also doesn’t mean the iPhone 7 isn’t something that fans of Apple aren’t looking forward to.
So apparently the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus will have different camera iterations. With a number of leaked images revealing dual rear cameras in a larger variant, that variant is probably iPhone 7 Plus and not iPhone 7 Pro.
Apple’s latest flagship phone is expected to feature a host of upgrades including faster processor, better camera and longer battery life. It looks like an iPhone 6, and so keeping the 6-series branding works, and adding the “SE” distinguishes it from the 6 and 6S ranges.
Blass took to Twitter with the simple message, “iPhone 2016 release: week of September 12th”.
Yet Blass, a reporter for VentureBeat whose cultivated a reputation as an Apple tipster, dismissed the idea that the smartphone maker would create a “Pro” version of the device. As per the the publication’s sources, the forthcoming wearable is set to launch together with the forthcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
There have also been whispers that Apple may possibly ditch the 16GB base model for the more generous 32GB.
