iPhone 7 release date, specs rumors 2016: New iPhone will feature things people can't live without?

The upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have been the subject of numerous reports online suggesting their release and specifications. With Apple CEO Tim Cook's latest interview, he was quoted saying that the company is certainly doing all they can to bring a new iPhone that will make people upgrade, according to a report by BGR.

"We've got great innovation in the pipeline. New iPhones that will incentivize you and other people [who] have iPhones today to upgrade to new iPhones," Cook said during the interview. "We are going to give you things you can't live without that you just don't know you need today. That has always been the objective of Apple. To do things that really enrich people's lives. That you look back on and you wonder how did I live without this."

For fans, the statement was clearly an implication that more good things will come out from Apple in the near future. The upcoming iPhone 7 is said to come out in 2017, but Apple has already had iPhone 8 in mind.

Meanwhile, there are reports suggesting that Apple will follow Samsung's waterproofing technology on the current Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge for the future iPhone iteration. It is clear that Apple's plan is to provide better products to the consumers to make sure they reclaim the top spot in the smartphone industry.

What is interesting about the new iPhone 7 is its impressive features. If rumors prove to be true, iPhone fanatics might be able to experience the kind of features that were not present in any of its past versions. Features such as the dual camera on the rear and a much thinner physical design are certainly going to be interesting once it hits the market.

For now, Apple has yet to make the iPhone 7 an official iteration. All fans have as of the moments are merely just rumors and speculations.
