- A lighter material for the chassis of the iPhone 7: According to the Japanese blog Mac Otakara, Apple could abandon the aluminum hull of its iPhone to move towards a lighter material. The smartphone can also be equipped with an LCD screen "completely flat". But nothing yet said it will be borderless like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
- A chip A10 six hearts: on Chinese forums, a new six-core chip A10 is evoked iPhone 7. Currently, the iPhone 6S has a dual-core A9 chip. One option that is difficult to conceive knowing that this new chip would consume too much energy.To KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is nevertheless well a chip A10 which should be incorporated into the iPhone 7. According to him, the base model will measure 4.7 inches and will carry 2 GB of Ram while More 5.5 inches and will receive 3 GB of RAM, reports 9to5mac . Samsung and TSMC reportedly battled to win the production contract for this new chip A10. Finally, it should be exclusively manufactured by TSMC.
- An iPhone 7 finest: For several generations of iPhone, Apple put on greater finesse of its aircraft. To further reduce the number of millimeters, the Apple brand may decide to remove the headphones jack (see above) but also to integrate A10 chips from TSMC only and therefore put aside those from Samsung, d According to the Wall Street Journal. In fact, TSMC technology holds "Integrated Fan-Out (InFO)" which allows for more powerful processors but also smaller.

An interesting improvement when we know that 30 minutes of video 4K puff 16GB disk. The iPhone 7 Plus could also benefit from a more powerful battery in 3100 mAh against 2750 mAh 6S.
- Better sound quality : to believe in a patent filed by Apple, the iPhone 7 could benefit from a new sound system. Two speakers are built into the chassis which could even contain a sounding board to reinforce the bass. According to Ming-Chi Kuo analyst, the iPhone 7 would be equipped with stereo speakers (current models are mono).
- The volume of ringtones and alerts that adapt to environmental noise:AppleInsider got its hands on a patent suggesting that the Apple brand would work on a system to adapt the sound alerts and other tones for the iPhone according to ambient noise. Thus, the more the user's environment is noisy, the more volume will be high. Plus it is quieter, the volume will be low to be simply reduced to the vibrator. For this, Apple would build on his new watch Watch 2 connected through allowing microphones to capture ambient noise and transmit information to the iPhone.

And if you went directly to iPhone or iPhone 7S 8?
Despite all the rumors, Mark Moskowitz, an analyst at Barclays Capital, estimates that the iPhone 7 will not be exciting. According to him, Apple is preparing a simple improvement of the previous model without much innovation. Tim Cook would keep its best ideas for the smartphone to be released in 2017. Besides, Apple, uncharacteristically, could go directly from the iPhone to the iPhone 7 8, bypassing an iPhone 7S model. Mark Moskowitz of the findings are shared in any case by the famous Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities analyst. It provides for a significant decline in iPhone sales in 2016.
Ming-Chi Kuo had previously delivered some indiscretions on the successor to the iPhone 7, expected in September 2017. According to him, the Apple brand would give its new device with a curved AMOLED screen and a glass finish with edges made of metal. Apple would also benefit to release an iPhone with a larger, 5.8-inch. The iPhone or iPhone 7S 8 would be equipped with new biometric sensors as a system of face recognition or iris. Finally, users could finally benefit from a wireless charging.

iPhone 7 Pro: price and release date

The rumor comes from very informed KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.According to him, Apple is preparing to come out in September iPhone 7 Pro alongside the classic version and the Plus version. Since the latter model, it is equipped with a 5.5 inch screen. The iPhone Pro 7, more high-end, would benefit from a more powerful camera with both 12-megapixel sensor. It could thus be used for wide angle shots, and be equipped with an optical zoom x2 or x3. According to new rumors, the iPhone 7 Pro can also be equipped with a Smart Connector at the rear. This particular and specific connection to Apple allows for example to connect a keyboard on the iPad Pro. On your smartphone, it could be used to connect to a new type of charger.
If the rumor were true, the iPhone 7 Pro should be presented at the September keynote, along with other smartphones. Its release date should be set a priori at the same time as the iPhone 7, days after the event. Regarding the price, nothing has leaked but we can move forward without fear that it should be more expensive than the classic. This iPhone Pro would in any case mark the start of the new range after the launch of the iPad Pro in November.
