According to the publication, as the event will highlight the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, it is likely for the MacBooks to be unveiled in another event, probably next month as well. It is usually hard to create with a phone camera, suggesting that the iPhone 7 could feature an upgraded camera lens. Infamous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities has sent out a new research report to investors outlining his predictions of what’s new in iPhone 7.
In terms of ease of use, the Apple TV is the easiest way to watch the event, hands down. Kuo confirms the larger iPhone 7 Plus will include a rear camera made up of two 12-megapixel lenses. The other camera would be more suited for telephoto applications and will get a 5P lens and smaller pixel sizes. In the report Kuo said the iPhone 7 will come along with numerous new changes, but it will be hard to spot as the overall design will be similar to Apple’s iPhone 6s.
Apple might ditch the 3.5 mm headphone jack, and instead provide Lightning EarPods with the iPhone.
Sensors-The removal of the 3.55 headphone jack has created space for what looks look a second speaker grille but is actually a brand new sensor designed to improve the “user experience” by enhancing the Force Touch recognition system.
Notorious leaker Evan Blass claims to have pinned down the release date to Friday, September 16 – although he has cited no source for the information. And to match the iPhone 7’s stronger camera performance, Apple is rumored to be upgrading its display to feature the same kind of wide-color gamut you can now find in its iPad Pro.
RAM-While the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 will remain unchanged and stay at 2GB of RAM, the same as the iPhone 6s, the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus model will be bumped to 3GB of RAM.
Following on, it was announced that the pre-orders will begin on September 9, both of that are in range with the September 7 unveiling.
Speaking of capacity, the new iPhone 7 family will apparently be revamping the storage lineup.
There are also rumors the iPhone 8 will come with three options, the normal phone, the S and the Premium model which is expected to come equipped with a OLED display. The 64 GB version is thus being pulled too. It’s best to take all this with a grain of salt and wait for the official details from Apple. Both the versions are also set to arrive in five different colors. Space gray will also return to the darker shade found on the Apple Watch and previously on the iPhone 5. The inclusion of one more GB RAM in the iPhone 7 Plus is to ease the processing of the dual camera.

And last but not least, Apple is also including hand gesture support, which could be possible thanks to a new proximity sensor upgrade.
