Rumor mills of iPhones and other Apple products never seem at halt and the latest one comes from Mac Rumors. According to the site, iPhone 7 (or iPhone 6s) could feature an upgraded Touch ID.

What would an upgraded Touch ID mean on iPhone 7? Probably the one that's more reliable, secure and with reduced errors.

"We think the new iPhone,expected to launch in 3Q15, will be equipped with an upgraded Touch ID module, with which Apple (US) intends to offer a better and safer Apple Pay user experience with reduced reading errors. We therefore raise our 2015F shipments of Touch ID module by 12.4% to 262mn sets, boosted by Apple Pay and new iPhone models," said KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a credible source who has provided reliable information in past regarding Apple products.

The analyst adds that the suppliers of the TouchID components would be Sunnic, ASE Kuo, and TSMC.

Another report by Taipei Times, said that it is likely that the new iPhone set for release this year would still get the current 8-megapixel camera, contrary to the earlier rumors that the next version of iPhone would see the "biggest camera jump ever" in the 2015 iPhone.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 6s Release Date

According to StableyTimes, Apple is looking at giving the iPhone 6S a release date in the spring with the Watch, and then launching the iPhone 7 in Sept 2015 accordingly.

However, none of the above mentioned info have been announced officially and like always you are advised to take rumors - well - like rumors.
