iPhone 7 release date: Apple's waterproof iPhone next fall

A lot of excitement is being generated recently with news that a new iPhone is set to be released next year together with the Apple watch 2.

With the iPhone 6 and 6s just launched recently, Apple doesn't seem to be slowing down in coming up with new devices to release in the market, at least with the rumors going around saying that Apple will release the iPhone 7 by September 2016 with the release of the Apple watch 2.

These rumors would only be plausible if Apple sticks to its usual schedule of releasing their devices during the fall. PC Advisor suggests a release date of the iPhone 7 on Tuesday, September 9 or Tuesday, September 16 in the UK.

Aside from the rumored release date, there has also been talks about what the iPhone 7 will be bringing in when it finally hits the market. One of the most resounding rumor of all is that it will be water proof.

Geek Snack said that if the rumor is true, it could also mean that the soon to be released iPhone 7 will not be made of metal but plastic.

Speculations about what the iPhone 7 specs could be are rife. Some are saying that the new Apple device will have an A10 system on a chip (SoC), built into a super thin 6mm frame.

Rumors are also saying that the new iPhone 7 will have a 2K display, a speaker in front, and an 8 megapixel camera for selfies. The new Apple device is also said to come with a wireless charging puck and with a fingerprint reader.

Apple has been working on the iPhone 7 for more than a year now, so there is a possibility that these rumors could be true, or not. Like always, rumors such as these should be taken with a grain of salt. Nothing could be true unless Apple itself confirms the truth behind these rumors.
