Apple iPhone 7 features

Apple has been always innovative with its products, be it the first Mac, iPod, iPhone or iPad. Apple is seen as the authority figure in the Tech world and everyone expects only the best from Apple. Apple always has given its devices a breakthrough in software and hardware, and it has been one of the main reason why the iPhone is still the king in the smartphone market. With iPhone 7,we can be pretty sure that Apple will push it's limits to a new high, that might be even higher than what iPhone 6 have achieved.

Design

The design of the Apple iPhone 7 is what everyone will be keen to know about. Will there be a major change in design? Will there be a change in the material used? Will there be a change in the size of the phone?
We had a great overhaul in design with the iPhone 6. Pretty much every aspect was changed with the phone. Now, with the iPhone 7 update, we're not sure if this will be big update like iPhone 6 was. And about the screen size, we can expect the iPhone 7 to carry over it's predecessor.

Screen

The screen of the iPhone 7 is the most important feature everyone will be keen to know about. The Apple iPhone 7 is tipped to bring in QHD resolution to the table to match up the specs of other Android devices. 
The main question is, what all sizes will the phone come in? Will apple be sticking with the screen sizes that are already found in the current generation iPhones or will they change the current trend and go for a new screen size?

The screen of one of the iPhone 7 models will be bigger than what is found in iPhone 6 Plus for the Plus model, with the age of bigger iPhones, we'll surely be seeing the iPhone 7 to come in two display sizes. There were many speculations that Apple might be going with OLED technology as a replacement to LCD on the iPhones, as it recently did use OLED display in the Apple watch.
 
Apple will be using an LCD display on the iPhone 7 and it will not be migrating to OLED screens. Apple's one of the investment in the Japan Display shows this, Apple have invested billions of dollars ($1.4 billion to be specific) recently on the display tech company as a pre-payment to increase the production of 5 inch LTPS LCD display panels. This shows that Apple is not yet done with LCD technology, and will be using it on the upcoming iPhone.

Also the deal indicates that Apple will be going with a screen size of 5 inch for one of the iPhones. This is huge, Apple is making a small jump in the display side with iPhone 7. Apple fans like you and me has got to be happy with this decision, as this screen size jump is good and will offer users a great experience as more real estate on screen is always good.

Coming to the other iPhone 7,we're pretty sure that it'll also be updated to a screen size bigger than the current generation iPhone 6 Plus. The screen size on iPhone 7 Plus see a jump with 0.2 inches to 5.7 inches, up from the 5.5 inch of the current model.

UPDATE : There are reports that Apple might be sticking to the 5.5 inch for iPhone 7 Plus. The display manufacturing giant is reported to produce 4K EGZO displays later this year.

UPDATE 2 : Sapphire glass for iPhone 7 - Apple already has a device that has Sapphire glass protection, the Apple watch. Now, there are many reports that Apple will be using Sapphire in the iPhone 7. We all waited for Sapphire glass on the iPhone 6, but it never happened due to some issues with manufacturing of the glass. Now, we can hope that Apple will be using Sapphire on the upcoming iPhone. We're pretty sure it will happen because there are rumors suggesting that Foxxconn (Apple's long term manufacturing partner) is planning to build a Sapphire glass plant, just for the upcoming Apple device.

Camera

As always, iPhone 7 will be offering stellar camera performance, which will be the best in the market. It will be the best camera that can be found in a smartphone, and it will be the best ever smartphone camera that Apple have ever used. Apple doesn't want to lose its crown of best smartphone camera to any other company, so they will be doing their best to ensure that.
The camera on the Apple iPhone 7 is expected to come with a camera of 14 megapixels on the back. Apple will be finally upgrading iPhone's camera to a higher megapixel one. The megapixels count for nothing, Apple have proved it again and again with the iPhones. Earlier iPhones came with the 8 megapixel camera and beat the hell out of many other competing Android devices. With the new iPhone 7 we can also be pretty sure that it'll be a significant improvement over the previous iPhone cameras. And it might also be the biggest ever camera improvement that Apple have ever made to the iPhone.
There are also claims that the iPhone 7 might feature a dual camera arrangement, which can provide "DSLR quality camera experience", that is rarely found in smartphones. If this has to be believed, we can see a great camera in the iPhone, which is similar to what is found in HTC One M8 and Huawei Honor 6 Plus.

Processor

Apple is the first company to bring in innovative 64 bit processors to smartphones with it's A8 chips on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Now, Apple will be bringing A8's successor A9 to the new iPhone. The A9 processor is tipped to be a quad core 64 bit one. It'll be more powerful than the previous version by a margin of 20%. Apple have finally decided to migrate from the dual core processors to quad cores, as a natural evolution to the series.
The processor will be manufactured by Samsung, even though both the companies have got many problems with each other. There are even reports that Samsung has started producing A9 chips for Apple. The chip will be made with 14nm FinFET technology, which makes the chip to use 35% less energy and 20% more powerful than it's predecessor.

UPDATE :  Seems like Apple has moved back to TSMC for manufacturing SoC for iPhone 7. It is because Samsung is now enjoying quite a success with Galaxy S6 phones, which uses Samsung's own processors and Apple doubt Samsung will be able to handle the requirements of Apple.

Memory & RAM

iPhones come in a variety of memory options ranging from 16 GB to 128 GB. Some might say phones without microSD slot is useless, but I say, is there really a need for a memory expansion when you can have 64 GB or 128 GB in your phone? Even Samsung abandoned the microSD card slot with it's new flagship. The new iPhone 7 will came in a variety of memory options, starting with 16 GB, along with 64 GB and 128 GB as the iPhone 6 has.

Now, talking about RAM, it has been one of the most debated thing in iOS vs Android battle. We all know the Android flagships come in even 3 GB RAM, but those phones still lags. Take the case of Samsung Galaxy S6, which is it's recent flagship. That phone still lags behind iPhone 6, if we compare them side by side operation. It is because of the fact that iOS is far more efficient in managing the tasks and memory than other OS, that's why it required only 1 GB RAM, where the Android counterparts needed 2 or 3 GB.
Now, Apple will be finally upgrading the RAM of the new iPhone to 2 GB finally. This will make it more efficient and more powerful than ever.

iPhone 7 Rumours

Joystick

One of the major rumors we're hearing about iPhone 7 is the joystick on the home button. Yup, you heard it right,  joystick on the home button. It is a great news for gamers, the joystick on the home button will pave a way to a new generation of gaming to the iPhones, if this one comes true. It might be actually true, considering the fact that Apple already ahas got a patent on the same. Read more about it from here.

3D display

Another rumor surrounding iPhone 7 is the 3D display on the iPhone, with out glasses. It's been tried to implement on many phones, but none of them have succeeded in the market well. If this comes true, we'll be seeing the first mainstream device with 3D capability out of the box.

iPhone 7 Release Date

Now the real question comes, when will this beast be released? Is it 2015 or 2016? Well, if we look at Apple's product cycle, I must say the iPhone 7 will be released in the Q3 of 2015 (most probably on September 2015), as every iPhones was released. There are also many claims that Apple might be skipping iPhone 6s and might directly launch the iPhone 7. If that has to be believed, we can expect the release more sooner!

iPhone 7 Price

Apple has always kept the iPhone prices at a premium, but with the contracts, it's just affordable, and is always kept at $199. We can expect the same pricing with the iPhone 7 too, with on-contract models coming at $199 (most probably). The unlocked and contract free version will be costing you anywhere between $649 to $899 based on the model and storage options.

This is similar to what Apple has priced the previous versions of iPhone, and it will be competing other Android flagships, which comes at similar price range. But the iPhone 7 will be able to out do all of them, because of the luxury and features that are offered by Apple on the phone, which any Android phone can't match. Also, don't forget the awesome software and hardware integration that Apple have made with iOS, which too will be a dream for any Android lover.

Final Words

We have been seeing numerous rumors, speculations and thoughts about the Apple iPhone 7, but we still can't be sure for what to expect from the phone. Apple has been paying much attention on keeping the phone secret. We're not even having an actual leak about the device till now. 

What we can do right now is to wait until Apple announces a release date for the device, or we can wait for more leaks to surface. It's all a matter of time! ;)

Until then, Keep visiting this blog for Apple iPhone 7 exclusive leaks, awesome rumors, images, price, release dates and much more!

iPhone 7 2GB RAM : Is it true?

Apple will introduce new version of its iPhone, Apple iPhone 7 in the September of 2015, but we now know quite a few about this phone. One of the major rumors we're hearing is the inclusion of 2GB RAM on iPhone 7 . The Cupertino company wants to be noticed not by an outstanding specifications table, but by the awesome user experience and innovation iPhones are providing it's users. That's why Apple is not behind the rat race of specification that all Android phone manufacturers are after. One of the main disadvantage that Android fans point out against iPhone is the shortage of RAM. iPhone (be it 5, 5s, 6 or 6 Plus), comes with 1 GB of RAM, which is actually a small amount when we consider the Android phones. Now, we can be pretty sure that Apple will be featuring the iPhone 7 2GB RAM model.

So when is this iPhone 7 coming out? Or is it actually the iPhone 6s that'll be launched this year? Apple releases it's phones on a bi annual rate, by which, we should expect two new phones a year.

Going with the traditional Apple launch schemes, we should expect the Apple iPhone 7 Release Date to be on this September 2015, similarly to when iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was launched. There will also be similar model structure with iPhone 7 , which will be releasing with 2 models as iPhone 6 did, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
