A few new tidbits about the upcoming iPhone 7 are out, and it looks like we’ve got quite a bit to look forward to with Apple‘s next flagship. Among those is an apparently thinner body, a bigger battery and a dual camera setup.
First off, do bear in mind a lot of these are still hearsay so take it with a pinch of salt.
To start off, Apple will be trying to make the next iPhone even thinner than the iPhone 6s, meaning they are aiming to make it way thinner than 7.1mm body of the iPhone 6s, possibly somewhere in the margin of 6 to 6.5mm. That’s already ridiculously thin but that would mean impacting the capacity of the battery. Though to be perfectly honest, we’re not expecting any change in terms of design, especially not after the release of the iPhone SE.
However, a different leak states that the iPhone 7’s battery will actually be bigger, being marked at 7.04 watt-hours; being a leap and a jump higher than the iPhone 6s’ rating of 6.61 and the iPhone 6s Plus’ 7.01 watt-hours. So how exactly are they going to squeeze in a bigger battery when they’re trying to make the chassis thinner?
Last but not least the iPhone 7 is rumoured to have a dual camera lens. The feature has been more or less “confirmed” by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo but its too early to say that if will be implemented. Especially since some earlier leaks showed two camera holes (or in some cases an elongated single hole) for the rear camera in the chassis.
The next big iPhone is expected to release this September, barring no changes.
