The iPhone 7 could launch in less than 6 weeks: Here's what we know

in #apple8 years ago (edited)

As July turns to August, it means that summer is winding down -- and that new iPhones are imminent.

With an announcement expected during the first or second week of September -- a notion recently reinforced by noted leaker Evan Blass -- we're now officially in the homestretch: about 6 weeks away from the big day when rumors turn to vapor or crystalize into reality.

Here's an updated rundown of the things we may see with the iPhone 7.

Editors' note: This story was originally posted months ago and has been updated regularly.

Design

In recent years, Apple has alternated annually between major design changes and minor upgrades. That's expected to change in 2016. The overall consensus among analysts and rumor-mongers, supported by many unofficial photos and videos leaked during the past few months, is that for the second year in a row we're likely to see mostly modest, superficial changes -- call it the "iPhone 6SS," if you will.

Perhaps the most dramatic change still in play would be the addition of a rumored third "Pro" model. According to multiple sources, Apple's portfolio, which was already extended to include the new SE model in March 2016, may soon include an iPhone 7, an iPhone 7 Plus -- and an iPhone 7 Pro. Leaked photos that first surfaced in July 2016 on Nowhereelse.fr appear to show three such different models. But recent rumors have suggested that Apple will probably stick with only two models.
