The iPhone 7 launch could be viewed by Apple loyalists as a bust or with next generation iPhone excitement. Apple has also toyed with launching an iPhone 7 and iPhone Plus model this year, according to leaks and rumors. Unfortunately, leaks and rumors from various sources are all Apple enthusiasts have to go on. However, new design leaks from reputable sources have possibly made the choice for smartphone users in a big way. It appears that the ‘7 Plus’ model has been discarded. And features have been moved to a new 7 Pro model. What affect will this have on design?
iPhone 7 Pro Dual Lens Camera
The next generation of Apple smartphones will be equipped with a dual lens camera that will rival DSLR capabilities. For smartphone users who are all about taking video and photos, this feature will surely be a deciding factor. The new camera tech will have better performance in low light and put Apple at arms length with Samsung.
Apple Smart Connector
One big feature that has been in the rumor mill is the smart connector. The smart connector was introduced with the iPad Pro. It allows the lightening port to power and drive data. It was an expected feature for the iPhone 7, but will only be offered for the iPhone 7 Pro.
The Feel Will Remain the Same
The next generation iPhone will have no chassis changes, according to the recent leaks. If you like the feel of the 6S and 6S Plus models, then you will be more than happy with the 7 and 7 Pro. They will offer the 138.30 x 67.12 x 7.1 mm and 158.22 x 77.94 x 7.3 mm chassis.
Will a Smartphone Without a Headphone Jack Work?
This may be a debatable new design, since it affects the accessory purchases Apple fans have made. The headphone jack will be junked for both next generation models. This could be a move to offer exclusive port headphones, as well as Bluetooth technology exclusively available for the 7 and 7 Pro.
Speaker and Antenna Design
The iPhone 7 and 7 Pro will be without the second speaker as previously rumored. However, the antenna bands will be moved to the bottom of the device in order to offer users a cleaner smartphone.
