iPhone 7: What to expect?

With every new iPhone that comes out, the rumor sack keeps getting bigger. While not all of them see the light of day, there's nothing wrong with getting excited about what could be. 

HOLeY OR UNHOLeY:

The biggest rumor about the iPhone 7 is that it might not have a headphone jack. But this drastic change is not to make the iPhone thinner but to increase space inside the shell either for more battery or better internals. Also using the lightning port for audio output enables the iPhone to put out high definition audio.

OLED or IPS:

OLED displays are gorgeous but it is a relatively new technology. And Apple just invested about 4 billion dollars on Foxconn for developing TFT panels. So, while OLED looked great on the Apple Watch, it's still work in progress and thus not likely to be chosen for new iPhones.

Beefier Internals:

The iPhone 7 will definitely have its internals upgraded and will have Apple's new A10 processor beating away at its heart. This chip will have a new fan out design that puts it in the circuit rather than on it, further saving space inside. And when it comes to performance, it's safe to say that it will be a significant improvement from the previous A9.

New form factor and construction techniques:

The iPhone 7 is likely to use a liquid metal construction technique which is able to make it thinner and at the same time stronger so we might be looking at an even thinner but bend proof iPhone. Patents indicate that Apple will finally get rid of the ugly antennae lines with help from a new technology that blends the antennae with the shell. There's even a report about it being weatherproof.

The 7 Plus gets even bigger:

The 7 Plus is rumored to get a 256GB variant in terms of storage. And there is pretty strong evidence that the internals might be more powerful on the 7 Plus than the 7. As the former has more pixels to push. The 7 Plus will even get a bump in the battery size to 3100 mAh which is a huge upgrade for an already efficient device.
