iPhone 7 release date, news and rumors

 
 
 

Update: Fresh reports say the iPhone 7 will have a new color option, a larger camera lens, ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack and be thinner, but otherwise look the same, and it might also cost the same.

iPhone 7 rumors are all over the place, and the good news is Apple's supposed to deliver a significant upgrade to its smartphone for 2016. "Supposed to" because it changes the design every two years.

Without a doubt, iPhone 6S is the company's best phone yet. But it's underwhelming because it doesn't bring anything amazing aside from fancy new 3D Touch technology. It's just too similar to the iPhone 6.
