But, this time we can expect enough tweaks to be made to the iPhones. The leaks have shown that the most annoying design element, the antenna lines have been moved to the top and bottom edges from the back. The iPhone 7 Plus seems to sport a dual-camera setup at the top left corner and it might have a Smart Connector.

No More Mute Switch

Going by one of the leaks of the alleged iPhone 7 Plus, it appears like the mute switch that will let the users toggle between vibration and normal mode that was a part of the iPhones since the first iteration mode might be missing in the upcoming models. The leaked photo of the device shows everything other such as LED flash, dual-camera setup, redesigned antenna lines, physical home button, smart connector pins, and volume button other than the mute switch.

New Color Options

New Color Options

The iPhone 6 debuted in Silver, Gold, and Space Gray color variants. Later, with the iPhone 6s, Apple came up with the new Rose Gold option. Now, this time, with the iPhone 7, the maker is speculated to introduce a new Space Black color option. It is rumored to be a relatively darker shade than the Space Gray color. We even saw a slew of renders of the Space Black variant of the iPhone 7 leak online.

There are rumors that Apple will ditch the physical home button and that the fingerprint scanner will be incorporated in the upcoming iPhone models. But, the home button is here to stay on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Apple is rumored to use a non-moving button along with the Force Touch feature as in the MacBook's touch pad. The home button can be customized to provide a haptic feedback as well in order to stimulate a click.

As we saw above, the EarPods of the iPhone 7 leaked online with a Lightning connector at the bottom. It shows that the device will get rid of the 3.5 mm audio jack that is the latest trend followed by the Android device makers. The same is confirmed as the leaked design schematics of the iPhone shells reveal that the audio jack is gone for good. Furthermore, there are rumors that the company is working on the wireless headphones for the upcoming iPhone models.

Hardware is also Rumored

The upcoming iPhones are believed to be powered by the next generation Apple A10 processor. While the A9 processor was made by TSMC and Samsung, the rumors suggest that the A10 processor will be made solely by TSMC. Talking of the RAM capacity, there are rumors that the iPhone 7 will use 2 GB of RAM and the iPhone 7 Plus will arrive with 3 GB of RAM.

16 GB Storage Variant to Go Away

16 GB Storage Variant to Go Away

So long, the base variant of the iPhone models had 16 GB of internal storage of which just 12 GB is user accessible. With the increase in the graphics intense games, 4K videos, and 64-bit apps, the 16 GB storage is way too less. So, Apple is likely to get rid of the 16 GB base variant and make 32 GB as the all new storage standard. Maybe, the iPhone 7 can range up to 256 GB of internal storage capacity.

Dual-Camera Setup

Dual-Camera Setup

The iPhone 7 is expected to arrive with a slightly upgraded camera with a larger pixel sensor and a larger aperture as well to facilitate better low-light photography. The iPhone 7 Plus is said to arrive with a dual-camera setup at its back. Notably, Apple acquired LinX that specializes in dual-lens technology.
