Fans of Apple are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new iPhone, the iPhone 7.

In fact, there are so many rumors circulating about the handset that effectively increase the hype for the much-awaited Apple phone.

Some have talked about the iPhone 7 having another "big brother" with the iPhone 7 Plus, while there have also been talks on a dual lens camera for the iPhone 7 Plus that will not be available on the regular iPhone 7.

As for the release date, there is still very little information on when the anticipated iPhone iterations are coming out but some have suggested that they could be up for a September release.

There are others that believe that there could be two releases per year, one with the regular iPhone 7 around autumn, while the "S" version could be available by spring.

However, many believe that there won't be many new features of the iPhone 7 that aren't already available with the iPhone 6.

Mostly speaking on the design of the phone, many have seen leaks on the handset and it still looks very similar with the iPhone 6. This makes transition from one phone to another relatively easy.

But as far as new technologies are concerned, the iPhone 7 is said to have new things that should catch the consumers' eyes.

One is the fact that there might not be a headset jack on the phone, instead relying on the Lightning Port to have an adapter to use regular headsets.

It is assumed that Apple will provide their own jack that fits their Lightning Port, which should give the headset enough capacity to be operated without touching the phone.

There is also a belief that the new iPhone 7 will not feature a 16 GB version, with the 32 GB and 2 GB RAM version effectively boosting the storage capacity of the phone.

There are still a lot of things that fans can expect from the iPhone 7, such as having a bigger screen and being more responsive than the current iteration. It's also been said that the designers are still trying to make sure they can develop an unhackable phone to protect users from identity and information theft.

Stay tuned for more updates on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
