iPhone 7 release will happen soon and more concept images are appearing online.
The latest concept image is from designer Zoltan Major. The iPhone 7 render appeared in five color variants: silver, space gray, rose gold, blue and titanium. The device has a protruding camera on the side and includes two bottom speakers, but omit the audio jack like what rumors suggested. The render has a ring flash and 12 MP front-facing camera.
The other iPhone 7 render designed by Glaxon Paul, in collaboration with Ran Avni, boast the iPhone 7 and 7 Pro feature a 4K display, a front 12 MP camera and rear 20 MP shooter. 3D Touch second gen is here, plus an octa-core 2 GHz processor and up to 256 GB of storage. There is also the option to change the image on the Home button. Thanks to slimmer bezels, the screen looks edge-to-edge.
KGI Securities Analyst Ming Chi Kuo, who constantly reveals insider information about the upcoming iPhones, hinted on the possible specs and features of the upcoming Apple smartphone. According to Apple Insider, iPhone 7 may have a totally different look this year as it will boast a revamped "glass sandwich" design. It is still unknown how the smartphone will look like.
Kuo also speculated that Apple will incorporate a curved display. Curved screen panels reduce distortions on the edges and help seamless panoramic views. Wireless Week reported that is expected to include new technological features like what it did when it announced the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus with 3D Touch technology. This time, the new iPhone may include wireless charging to extend the battery life of the device, which is often the complaint of most users.
Apart from wireless charging feature, iPhone 7 will add another security feature aside from fingerprint sensor. Retina scanner has been rumored for the iPhone for years. If the new iPhone packs this feature, it will be the first in the market.
iPhone 7 release date is expected in the fall around September. However, there is no official announcement from Apple regarding the specs and features of the device.
