What's new in the iPhone 7s. Previous Apple iPhones

Apple iPhone 7S probably will not be announced earlier than the fall of 2017, but now, in January, there are a lot of rumors circulating on the network about the future generation of smartphones of the American company. The new iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus should be updated models of the current devices, and the 7 Plus. Rumors suggest that the upcoming “S” phones will prove to be relatively inexpensive gadgets, with the iPhone 8 going to be the top of the line.

It is unclear what names Apple's flagships will receive this year. Maybe the company will actually introduce three devices instead of two last year. If you want to know more about the iPhone 8, then browse the news feed on our website.

Now we will look at everything that has become known to us about the unannounced devices from rumors recently, and also try to predict the exact release date of the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus.

When will the iPhone 7S be released in Russia?

On this day, you can go to the official reseller of Apple products in Russia and purchase any of the options announced at the presentation, if, of course, some popular models are not sold out during pre-orders. This happened with the iPhone 7 in the "black onyx" design, which disappeared from stores even before the sale began.

Design and specifications iPhone 7C

The anticipated phones with the “S” in the name are likely to have the same design as the current variants. They will continue to feature LCD displays, making these models cheaper than the iPhone 8.

Citing their own sources, the journalists of the Japanese blog Macotakara claim that in 2017 the Cupertinians will announce another color. There is reason to believe that the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus will hit stores in bright red colors.

On board both new products will be the A11 processor, 32/128/256 GB of internal memory and 2/3 GB of RAM. The main camera will probably remain 12-megapixel, and the front-facing resolution can grow to 8 MP. Perhaps the lens on the front panel will be able to boast of an optical stabilizer and autofocus, which is very useful now.

Of course, all owners are eagerly awaiting when Cupertinos will finally equip their products with fast or wireless charging. Rumor has it that the next generation iPhones will feature long-range wireless charging.

OLED display Apple iPhone 7s

First of all, it is worth discussing the display, which caused a lot of noise, made using technology unusual for Apple. If earlier the company's devices used LCD-matrices, now they are planning to introduce OLED screens. Let's explain what the main difference between these two technologies is. In LCD displays, pixels are illuminated by special LEDs and lamps. In OLED screens, the pixels glow by themselves, which increases the brightness and quality of the picture. In addition, such screens have a larger viewing angle and can also be used to create flexible gadgets.

To implement the implementation of such screens in the iPhone 7s, the company needs manufacturers of such technologies. According to some reports, Apple has already negotiated cooperation with several companies, including the well-known brand Samsung, which has already used similar displays.

Appearance (concent) iPhone 7 s photo

Everyone is interested in how the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus looks like (yes, an enlarged version is also planned). We will try to give you some idea of ​​the appearance of the devices. Analysts predict a case covered with glass. It will have rounded edges, which will improve the ergonomics of the gadget and increase the ease of use with one hand.

The diagonal display of the iPhone 7s will be 4.7 inches, while the older brother will have a screen with a diagonal of 5.5 or 5.8 inches (opinions differ here).

In our review of Apple iPhone 7s 2016, we can also include information that the device will be equipped with a wireless charging function. In our opinion, it is high time to introduce it. But if Apple does it among the first, then the demand for a novelty should be on top. Actually, the company does not hide that their goal is to lure as many buyers as possible to new models of devices. And later, and win over the adherents of the Android system.

In addition, the device will be equipped with a biometric authentication system, which means that it will be able to recognize faces and iris.

To our great regret, the iPhone 7 s photos and the price for it still remain a mystery - a secret behind seven seals. Now we can only make assumptions and visualize a smartphone based on the information that is already available. A video review (iPhone 7s / 7s plus Pro) about OLED displays will help you with this.

Release date of iPhone 7s in Russia

Now only a very approximate release date for the iPhone 7s in Russia and the United States is known. It is slated for fall 2017. In the meantime, we can only wait, take care of our gadgets and hope that the iPhone 7s will cost within reach.

Information update on 06.12.16

During the ten years of its existence in the market, Apple has taught us its own routine. Once every two years, a completely new flagship is released, which receives a new number in its name. Then a year later, an updated version of it with the letter S is released. Of course, there were a few exceptions, but they did not happen so often.

The new flagship has recently been released, so what to expect, release Is the iPhone 7C canceled or will it be released in 2017? It is rumored that this will not happen with the seventh version, and the number 7 will not be diluted with the coveted letter. Nevertheless, there is still hope, since according to the latest data, the company is currently developing a new device. And until a company spokesman answered “No” to the question “Will Apple release the iPhone 7s plus?” We have a chance to hope.

Quite significant changes are expected in the next model. In the seven, the appearance has practically not changed compared to the six. But you are unlikely to confuse the new device with earlier versions. The rear panel will be finished with glass instead of the usual metal surface. It will be very durable and will look even more original.

And it is not yet clear whether they are talking about or about the iPhone 8. The main thing is that the new device will have a lot of interesting things. And what it will be called there is the tenth thing.

For iPhone 8 or iPhone 7, the presentation of the new Apple model will take place in the next 2017. We still believe that the iPhone 7s will still take its place in the lineup, and the owners of the seventh versions will be able to upgrade to the new model by installing the same case on it that they purchased for the iPhone 7.

If you have not yet become the proud owner of the latest flagship, then watch a video review in Russian for the iPhone 7 plus - and you will understand that such a device is simply necessary for every business person!

In 2017, Apple is expected to announce the next big batch of phones. Logically, these will be the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, although 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the iPhone lineup and Apple is rumored to have something very exciting to launch, reports.

What is this exciting phone we're talking about? This secret device is actually the iPhone 8! The device, codenamed "Ferrari", is reportedly set to shock the world with a new glass design, a curved OLED display, a dual camera like the iPhone 7 Plus and definitely a host of other features that will remain under wraps until Apple unveils this device. ...

We have a lot to talk about, so let's not waste any more time! Let's talk about all the cocky leaks and rumors about the Apple iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone 8.

Before we get to the heart of the matter, it's worth clarifying that Apple's iPhones will be released in 2017. A common disclaimer: We are dealing with rumors and speculation, so things can change over time. However, reasonable logic dictates that it would be strange for Apple not to follow an already established naming scheme. In even-numbered years, the company releases its regular phones, while in odd-numbered years, we see their heirs with the letter "S". This is what we expect in 2017 - iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. Some rumors about Apple generally skip the "S" models for 2017 altogether, but they are quite rare and not enough to convince us. In fact, we think Apple is about to release a third, super-premium device alongside regular iPhones to mark the 10th anniversary of its smartphone lineup. This is what most insiders with good track records claim. Allegedly codenamed Ferrari, the device is expected to eventually become the iPhone 8, although this conflicts with Apple's established naming scheme. However, it is expected to be a memento, so anything can be expected.

Apple iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone 8 design

Unlike in previous years, we have many reasons to believe that Apple will redesign its iPhones. Yes, we know there are rumors about it every year, but this time it's different - while no design images or actual components have been leaked online, most insiders believe that at least one of the iPhones in this year will use a glass design.

All-glass body with stainless steel frame

One of the best-reputed analysts, Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, claims that the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus will indeed boast robust glass front and back, a bit like the iPhone 4 and 4S. Kuo adds that an all-glass body will not be possible due to "technological problems" and as such will be accompanied by a metal frame. Apparently, Apple will ditch aluminum in favor of a stronger stainless steel outer edge for the more expensive models.

It will cost Apple more, but will give the top-tier iPhones a sturdy premium finish. Kuo also expects both 4.7 and 5.5-inch models of the upcoming smartphones to feature a glass body, but only the top version will be supported by a steel frame. This is similar to how Apple differentiates the entry-level Apple Watch from its more expensive counterparts. If the latest rumor turns out to be untrue, Apple will likely revert to the same aluminum alloy it used on the iPhone 7/7 Plus and iPhone 6s / 6s Plus, namely the tough and durable 7000 series aluminum alloy.

Other sources have denied this rumor, claiming that only the ultra-premium iPhone 8 will sport an eye-catching glass design. It also seems pretty logical due to the fact that Apple might want to differentiate it from regular iPhones. Needless to say, one way to do this is by using a different design.

Here are a few design concepts that aim to show us what some of Apple's next iPhones might look like.

Wireless charger

The predominant use of glass in the iPhone 7s, 7s Plus and iPhone 8 is rumored to allow Apple to introduce wireless charging, which is a feature mentioned by prolific Apple insider Min-Chi Kuo about two months ago. Here's what he said on the matter:

“We believe that one of the reasons the new iPhone will move from metal to glass is to support wireless charging. a general test. Since Hon Hai needs to deploy most of its resources to develop and manufacture OLED iPhones, we expect Pegatron to be the exclusive supplier of the wireless charger. " - Min-Chi Kuo, Apple Analyst

Edge-to-edge design with no border

An iPhone with a curved edge-to-edge display and minimal bezels at the top and bottom? It would sound like a pipe dream a couple of years ago, but it is actually one of the most repeated rumors for Apple's iPhone lineup for 2017 and even more so for the iPhone 8. Several leaks and insider rumors try to convince us that the iPhone 8 is in in particular, will have a "larger display" in front. Of course, there will be a border, but it will be in most cases.

In fact, Apple has already received several patents that give some clues about the future iPhone without a button and bezel.

No home button

Apple has also been linked to the abandonment of the physical home button, which has been a staple for 9 years. At least that's what we hear about the iPhone 8. Instead of such a hardware element, Cupertino will likely use its tactile response mechanism to simulate the sensation of touching a hardware button. Removing the moving home button from the iPhone 7 is the first step in Apple's desire to get rid of this piece of hardware entirely. It is assumed that users will be able to 3D Touch in a certain place in order to go to the home screen, which is what this button is mainly used for.

What about a fingerprint sensor?

Ditching the home button would also mean that the fingerprint button will find a new location. The ideas are basically the same for everyone: Apple will have to integrate a fingerprint scanner into the display, since the rear location of the physical sensor is completely illogical. Luckily for Apple, several such sensors already exist and the Koreans at Crucial Tek were the first to announce such a decision, followed by an ultrasonic sensor from Qualcomm as well as Synaptics.

Water resistance remains

While we haven't heard anything specific about waterproofing on the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus, it's pretty logical to assume that this feature will remain. Water resistance is undoubtedly a useful feature and is unlikely to remain an exclusive one-time addition to the iPhone 7/7 Plus.

Apple patents for the above properties of future phones

1. Apple patent for a "sandwich" phone design - All-glass body with stainless steel frame

2. Apple patent for curved iPhone screen

3. Patent for the placement of the "home button" on the screen

4. Patent for placing the fingerprint scanner under the screen

5. Patent for "home button" with built-in fingerprint reader

Display of smartphones Apple iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, iPhone 8

Just like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus are expected to have 4.7 and 5.5-inch displays. Both are similar to their longtime predecessors and will come with LCD displays. We're confident this will preserve the exceptional qualities of the iPhone 7/7 Plus displays, which boasted perfect colors and great brightness. We didn't hear anything about any resolution changes in particular, so we still believe the iPhone 7s will ship in 750 x 1334 pixels, while its bigger brother will still use a full HD display.

The iPhone 8 is rumored to boast a flexible OLED display with a 5.8-inch screen. What's interesting here is that the active display area will be 5.1 or 5.2 inches in size, while the rest of the screen will curve around the side frame of the phone and blend seamlessly with the body of the phone. As we mentioned earlier, unlike the rest of the lineup, this one will most likely have OLED, a first for Apple. Samsung Display is arguably its exclusive supplier, with over 40 million OLED displays. However, all the other players in the OLED industry: Sharp, JDI, AUO and LG are also rumored to be supplying panels, which makes us think Samsung may not be an exclusive supplier.

But why OLED and why flexible? It's just a prerequisite for a curved display. LCD screens can't do that yet, but OLEDs can. This is due to the fact that OLEDs can be manufactured on a plastic substrate and bend the display as much as you want, while LCDs can only be manufactured on a glass substrate. A recent report, originating from South Korea, claims that “The OLED version of the new iPhone will be curved as Apple ordered plastic OLEDs - not glass - from Samsung Display. Samsung is able to supply just under 100 million units of curved OLED displays to Apple. "

Hardware of the new Apple iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, iPhone 8

Chipset A11

So far, we've heard a bunch of pretty logical rumors regarding the hardware inside the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will be powered by a 2.4GHz quad-core processor, A10 Fusion chipsets, and the rumor mill quickly speculated that the next batch of phones would arrive with A11 chips. Apple is consistent with its naming schemes, so we are confident that at least the chipset will have that name.

However, rumors are silent regarding the specifications of the said A11 chipset. A couple of months ago, we heard that Taiwanese TSMC might be the exclusive system-on-a-chip manufacturer and will use the 10nm FinFET manufacturing process, but since then, information about the upcoming chip has been vague at best.

By the way, the leaked test results of the alleged A10X chipset, which is expected to be on the next generation of Apple's iPad Pro tablets, paints a rather exciting picture for 2017 - it ranks quite high in Geekbench, having received 4236 points in single-core and 6588 - in a multi-core test. This compares to 3490 (single-core) and 5580 (multi-core) scores for the A10 chipset. If the Apple A11 maintains this momentum, it should be the best example, at least in theory.

RAM: is it the same old or not?

There have been no specific rumors about RAM, so we'll assume the regular iPhone 7s will ship with 2GB of RAM, while the 7s Plus will come with 3GB of RAM. As for the iPhone Ferrari, we can only guess.

Persistent memory: no changes expected

To everyone's approval, Apple finally ditched the 16GB version of its iPhone with the iPhone 7/7 Plus lineup last year, which boasted 32GB of storage in their core variants, expanding to 128GB and 256GB. We don't expect anything to change next year, as Apple is unlikely to fundamentally change such an important element for two years in a row - in 2017, we will most likely see 32, 128 and 256 GB storage options for the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus. As far as the premium Ferrari model goes, we assume it will match the rest of the lineup in terms of storage options, or carry 256GB on board.

Camera for Apple iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone 8

With the introduction of dual cameras on the iPhone 7 Plus last year, Apple has essentially opened up a new space of possibilities for its 2017 iPhone lineup. Will the dual camera setup remain an exclusive feature for the larger iPhone? Got rumors for the iPhone 8?

The rumors we've heard so far have mentioned quite a bit about this, but industry insiders speculated that the iPhone 7s might not get a dual camera. This feature will continue to be exclusive to the iPhone 7s Plus and the more premium iPhone 8, which seems like a pretty logical move for Apple.

On the formal side, we expect Apple to improve the existing hardware inside the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Both have a 12MP camera, with an F / 1.8 lens with 1.22μm pixels that projects light directly onto a 1/3-inch backlit sensor. The difference is that the larger iPhone has an F / 2.8 lens with a longer focal length, paving the way for 2.0x optical zoom.

We speculate that Apple could improve on this setup by offering a faster lens with a wider aperture or larger sensor, although we haven't heard anything special so far. As usual, the full scope of camera improvements will likely remain a mystery until Tim Cook and his colleagues talk about it in a keynote speech this September.

Unique software features

Until now, we have not heard anything significant about what new software features and functionality may appear, so we can only speculate. Presumably we'll have to wait until WWDC this year, where the next version of IOS will most likely be introduced. That said, Apple is unlikely to give any solid hints about future iPhones, but at least we'll see what new features iOS will have. With AI and smart assistants becoming quite common these days, we wouldn't be surprised if Cupertino makes Siri smarter and more powerful than it is today. According to rumors, Samsung may be preparing its own AI, while Google Assistant is already installed on the Pixel and Pixel XL, so it is logical to expect Siri improvements.

Prices and release date of Apple iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, iPhone 8

As usual, we expect Apple to unveil its next batch of smartphones in September 2017. This has been the case for the past five years and we expect it to remain the same this year. Below you will find a table that clearly shows announcements and subsequent market launches for all iPhones.

All the most reliable information about the iPhone 7s.

Updated! Despite the expectations of analysts and insiders, Apple has not named its new 4.7-inch smartphone iPhone 7s. The novelty is called iPhone 8. For a full review of the iPhone 8, you can find it by clicking on.

In 2017, Apple will release three new smartphones at once, one of which will be a 4.7-inch iPhone 7s... According to the available information, the smartphone will receive a 4.7-inch LCD display, a glass body, a system based on a six-core A10X processor, wireless and fast charging, and many other improvements. The iPhone 7s is scheduled for release in September 2017. The official date of the iPhone 7s presentation is September 12. The iPhone 7s release date is currently unknown, but some analysts believe it could be slated for September 22nd. The price of the iPhone 7s will be from 52,990 rubles.

Today at 20:00 Apple will be presenting the new iPhone, Apple Watch Series 3, Apple TV 4K and many other new products. We are giving presentations, join us!

Note: This article will be updated with the latest verified information on iPhone 7s up until the launch of the smartphone.

Briefly about the main features of the iPhone 7s:

• Glass body.
• Wireless charger.
• Fast charging.
• System on a six-core A10X Fusion processor.
• 3 GB of RAM.
• Waterproof.
• Second generation 3D Touch.
• Longer battery life.

Design

In its shape, the iPhone 7s will practically not differ from its predecessor. The smartphone will receive a similar rounded at the edges of the case with approximately the same dimensions - 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm. The only significant size difference between the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7 might be thickness. According to some experts, the iPhone 7s may become 0.1-0.2 mm thinner than its predecessor.

iPhone 7s (left), iPhone 8 (center), iPhone 7s Plus (right)

All connectors and buttons iPhone 7s will also inherit from iPhone 7. Despite the initial expectations, the new 4.7-inch Apple smartphone will not have a USB-C connector, will remain the traditional Lightning. There will be no 3.5 mm audio output in the smartphone either - Apple has completely abandoned it.

However, the iPhone 7s will not be identical in appearance to the iPhone 7. The main difference between the body of the smartphone will be the glass back cover, as some analysts suggest. According to the leaks, the need to abandon aluminum and switch to glass arose from Apple due to the desire to equip the iPhone 7s with support for wireless charging technology.

IPhone 7s glass back

It is important to note that this information does not currently have reliable confirmation. Many experts in the field of mobile technology believe that the iPhone 7s will be the same as the iPhone 7 - aluminum.

In addition, there is a version in which the development of events with the new iPhones of 2017 will follow a completely unexpected scenario. According to her, all three new iPhones, including the iPhone 7s, will receive bezel-less displays. Such a screen of the new 4.7-inch Apple smartphone will significantly refresh its appearance, the device will be completely different from previous models.

In early August, the first images of the iPhone 7s mockup from a reliable source were on the web. Insider Sonny Dixon shared pictures of the 5.5-inch version of the smartphone, the design of which turned out to be identical to the iPhone 7 Plus except for two important points. First, the back cover of the iPhone 7s is made of glass, not aluminum, as in the iPhone over the past few years. And secondly, the antenna strips have disappeared from the back of the smartphone. Refusal from them on the part of Apple looks quite logical, since the glass perfectly transmits the signal.

Display

According to the main version, the iPhone 7s will be equipped with a 4.7-inch LCD-display with a resolution of 1334 × 750 pixels (326 ppi), exactly the same as that of the iPhone 7. Experts in the field of mobile technology believe that only minor improvements can be made. iPhone 7s screen specifications. It can get even brighter, get better color reproduction and get support for True Tone technology, which controls ambient light and adjusts the color temperature of the screen for a better viewing experience.

According to the less common version, as mentioned above, the bezels around the iPhone 7s display will almost completely disappear. The screen itself will remain the same - LCD. Apple plans to switch to OLED only in.

Hardware Specification

The iPhone 7s will be based on a 64-bit six-core Apple A10X Fusion processor with ARMv8-A architecture, manufactured using a 10-nanometer FinFET process technology. For the first time such a chip appeared in the 10.5- and 12.9-inch iPad Pros of the 2017 model ().

Testing of the A10X Fusion shows that it outperforms the A10 Fusion (iPhone 7) chip by 22% in single-core mode and 20% in multi-core mode. Apple's new processor is incredibly powerful for mobile devices. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro scored better in Geekbench than the top-of-the-range 12-inch MacBook (4-core Intel Core M processor).

Note that as with the quad-core Apple A10 Fusion, the A10X Fusion chip does not have all the high-performance cores. The A10X has three of them, the other three are energy efficient. The A10X system also integrates a 12-core PowerVR Series7 graphics chip.

There are two different opinions about the amount of RAM and internal memory of the iPhone 7s. According to Timothy Arcuri, the iPhone 7s will receive 3GB of RAM. Thus, compared to the iPhone 7, which is equipped with 2 GB of RAM, there will be an improvement. The internal memory of the iPhone 7s will be 32/128/256 GB depending on the model.

At the same time, one of the most authoritative analysts, Min-Chi Kuo, said that the iPhone 7s will retain the previous 2 GB of RAM. But the built-in memory in the basic version of the smartphone will be more - 64 GB, instead of 32 GB, which the iPhone 7 has.

Wireless charger

The first announcement that the iPhone 7s will receive support for wireless charging was made by Ming-Chi Kuo. Back in February 2017, he told investors that wireless charging would not be the exclusive technology of the revolutionary iPhone 8 and would appear in other new iPhones that will be presented in the fall.

Japanese resource Macotakara, citing its own trusted sources, Apple's plans to equip the iPhone 7s with wireless charging support. It is reported that the module was developed by Luxshare. In addition, the source said that the docking station for wireless charging of the iPhone 7s will not be supplied with the smartphone. The owners of the Apple flagship will have to buy it separately.

In July, authoritative journalist John Gruber also said that the wireless charging station will not ship with the iPhone 7s. Moreover, according to the expert, there will be no support for wireless charging in the final version of iOS 11 (). In order to take advantage of one of the key features of the iPhone 7s, smartphone owners will have to wait for the release of iOS 11.1. The fact is that Apple had great difficulties in implementing support for wireless charging in iOS 11.

According to early rumors, the iPhone 7s could receive remote wireless charging, allowing you to charge your smartphone wirelessly up to 15 meters from a dedicated transmitter. Subsequently, this information was not confirmed, and Min-Chi Kuo put a fat point in relation to such rumors. In his June report to investors, he said that wireless charging of the iPhone 7s will be quite traditional, complying with the standards of the Wireless Electromagnetic Energy Consortium. The analyst also clarified that the iPhone 7s charging accessory will really not be supplied with the smartphone and will need to be purchased separately. The price of the docking station is still unknown.

Not only the words of analysts point to the emergence of support for fast charging technology in the iPhone 7s. In the first for registered developers, there was a new sound for connecting the iPhone to the charger, which is significantly different from the standard one. The sound file "engage_power.caf" is more accented and longer. The developers believe that this sound will be played when installing Apple smartphones on wireless charging.

3D Touch

Kuo noted that the wireless charging module will help increase the internal temperature of smartphones, which is why he expects new iPhones with glass cases and second-generation 3D Touch modules. The improved 3D Touch modules will not only be more energy efficient, but also get additional features. It's about increasing the number of gestures available when pressing harder on the iPhone 7s display. True, it has not yet been possible to establish what kind of gestures we are talking about.

Kuo also stressed that the new version of 3D Touch will cost Apple $ 5 more to manufacture than the original version. According to the analyst, this may affect the final cost of the iPhone 7s.

The Japanese newspaper Nikkei is about the same improvements. Its sources have learned that the iPhone 7s will receive an improved Taptic Engine, which will allow users to experience richer tactile vibrations when pressing the display more. Also, the new Taptic Engine will expand the capabilities of 3D Touch, providing iPhone 7s owners with more different gestures.

Fast charging

At the beginning of March 2017, the same Kuo that the iPhone 7s will receive a Lightning connector with support for Type-C Power Delivery technology for fast charging. The new Apple smartphone will charge noticeably faster than the previous ones, however, the specialist did not even name the approximate charging time.

Another well-known analyst Timothy Arcuri of Cowen and Company also confirmed Apple's plans to equip the iPhone 7s with Type-C Power Delivery fast charging technology. At the same time, the smartphone will receive a traditional connector - Lightning, thanks to which there will be no inconveniences for the buyers of the novelty.

Smart Connector

Rumors that the iPhone will receive the Smart Connector, typical of the iPad Pro, began to surface even before the release of the iPhone 6s. Then similar information hit the Web before the launch of the iPhone 7, but none of the smartphones received a unique connector. It should come as no surprise that similar rumors have surfaced for the iPhone 7s as well.

In early April, the Israeli blog The Verifier said, citing its own trusted sources, that Apple would equip the iPhone 7s with a Smart Connector. It will make the iPhone 7s compatible with Apple's new VR AR accessories and wirelessly charge. This rumor is rather doubtful, but the very fact of its presence is still worth noting.

Cameras

There has been only one leak about the iPhone 7s camera ever. The picture, published by employees of one of the factories for the production of components for Apple smartphones, showed the rear panel of the iPhone 7s. It features the standard single camera cutout for 4.7-inch iPhones. This means the iPhone 7s won't get a dual camera setup like the Plus models.

As for the front camera, its resolution can be increased up to 8 megapixels. In addition, the camera can receive a 3D scanner for improved support for face scanning and augmented reality technologies.

Improved water resistance

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were the first Apple smartphones to be officially waterproof. In the iPhone 7s, the company will go even further and make the new product fully waterproof to the IP68 standard. iPhone 7s will be able to withstand immersion in water to a depth of one and a half meters for 30 minutes.

Battery life

The battery capacity of the iPhone 7s is currently unknown. It is noteworthy that there were no leaks regarding this characteristic of the smartphone. Despite this, it is safe to say that the iPhone 7s will have improved autonomy compared to the iPhone 7. The smartphone will help to work longer without recharging the presence of the energy efficient processor A10X Fusion.

IPhone 7s price

According to numerous analysts' forecasts, the cost of the iPhone 7s will remain at the level of the iPhone 7, even though the new smartphone has several unique components that are expensive to manufacture. Apple executives understand that the increase in value could negatively affect sales, which have recently begun to decline. Thus, the iPhone 7s is expected to be priced at $ 649, $ 749 and $ 849 depending on the model. Accordingly, in Russia the price of the iPhone 7s will be 52,990 rubles, 60,990 rubles. and 68,990 rubles. respectively.

release date

Updated (31 Aug). Officially, the iPhone 7s will be unveiled on September 12th.

The smartphone may go on sale just ten days after the announcement - already on September 22. Experts call this date due to the fact that usually Apple starts selling its new smartphones the next Friday after the presentation.

However, with the date of arrival of the iPhone 7s in stores, not everything has been fully determined. According to leaks in June-July, Apple is having serious difficulties with the production of all of its new smartphones. According to insiders, mass production of the iPhone 7s will begin only in August, a month later than usual. In this regard, the start of sales may also be postponed for a month.

What else is watching:

IPhone 7s release date and the iPhone 7s Plus remains the main intrigue for the entire Apple community. This is because there are rumors that this generation is being ignored by Apple. The iPhone 7 is said to follow. Moreover, most of the Internet media are sure of this.

iPhone 7s: release date

Traditionally, Cook's corporation launches each new generation of iPhone in autumn in September. The announcement of a new smartphone takes place within the framework of the presentation, and after a while sales of the flagship will start.

Apple is unlikely to change its habits in 2017. Only the name of the new phone will change in the release schedule. According to most IT publications, in 2017 Apple will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the iPhone. At such a moment, it would be simply unacceptable to release an intermediate model "s". That is why the decision was made to release the iPhone 8, which will be a revolutionary flagship in terms of features and design. This is one of the first versions, on which all it resources were initially relied on.

But there is another scenario for the development of events. Recently, there has been more and more talk that the release of the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will still take place in September. And along with them, the third iPhone 8 model will also be presented, which will become the premium version of the flagship and will cost users more than.

• new color in the smartphone lineup
• enlarged display due to minimal bezels around the perimeter
• advanced processor
• advanced camera
• virtual HOME button under glass with Touch ID scanner
