Compared to the quality of the current model, the next generation will have a 10-megapixel camera including two-lens DSLR-style camera. The front camera will also be improved for better quality photos and selfies even in environments with low light.
In terms of specifications, iPhone 7 is expected to have a A10 chip which will then be better than the A9, 64-bit dual-core processor of the iPhone 6S. Customers are anticipating for the next device to have be equipped with a RAM of 4GB.
Just like the other phone products of Apple, the iPhone 7 will likely be released in fall base on the company's tradition. The device will come after iPhone 6C which is the rumored 4-inch Apple phone.
