iPhone 7 release date, specs news: Flagship to arrive with dual-SIM support?

The Apple iPhone 7 has continued to be a favorite subject of rumors and speculations all over the internet. According to reports, several sources coming from manufacturing companies in China allegedly revealed new features of the highly anticipated flagship smartphone. The upcoming handset is said to have a dual-SIM support. There are also speculations suggesting that it may carry a 256-gigabyte internal storage capacity, which will double what the current iPhone model has.

Aside from the rumored features, there are also reports saying that mass production of the device has already started, which could lead to a possible earlier release than expected.

According to a report by Engadget, Apple will add new features that have never been seen on the previous iPhone releases. However, these add-ons have long been enjoyed by Android users, including the dual-SIM support.

If rumors prove to be true, the new iteration will certainly give a whole new experience to iPhone fans. Nonetheless, the dual-SIM feature has yet to gain popularity among North American users, so it will most likely to be released in selected countries such as China and other Asian countries.

It was previously reported that Apple will focus on making major changes in the device's storage capacity. Engadget reported that the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will definitely arrive in the market with 256 GB maximum internal storage. The report added that Apple will no longer roll out the 16 GB basic storage as the base unit of the next generation iPhone will already house 32 GB storage.

Meanwhile, the device will also run on the newest Apple operating system, iOS 10 which should add a few more features to the much-anticipated device.

As of now, Apple has yet to provide specific details with regard to its release; however, rumors point to a September rollout along with other Apple devices.
