iPhone 7 Rumors, Release Date and News: Is iPhone 7 coming this year?
The Apple iPhone 7 could be the biggest handset of the year with some dramatic changes from the last generation. The next version of the iPhone is almost certainly in the pipeline. And after last year's iPhone 6s upgrade, it's likely the technology giant will reveal a brand new design for this year's iPhone 7.
Even though the hot new gadget is unlikely to be announced before the autumn, plenty of rumors are already circulating online. These include predictions and comments from analysts and even several leaked pictures that allegedly show early prototypes of the phone itself. But whatever Apple is building will have to work hard to keep pace with brand new phones from the likes of Samsung and LG. We've gathered together all the latest news surrounding the phone into one place and will continue to update this as we learn more.
New pictures have surfaced that appear to show a version of the phone with a completely blank front panel. They seem to suggest that Apple will drop its famous home key in favor of an on-screen button.Taken in China and obtained by the blog site Apple Insider, the pictures have now been widely circulated around the internet. The shady pictures look to be taken quickly and without much thought to lighting or presentation. They show what is allegedly a new iPhone with a very different design. Taking Apple's release date history into account, it's likely we'll see the iPhone 7 officially revealed in September 2016.Both the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6 were revealed in September and Apple has no reason to change its strategy. There's also nothing wrong with taking advantage of Black Friday sales and the run up to Christmas. If we had to be specific, we would estimate the announcement date for the iPhone 7 being on a Wednesday or a Thursday in either the first or second week of September. The iPhone 6s announcement was held on September 9, 2015 and Apple could plan a repeat performance.
