The company has already sent out invites to selected media to join them in San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium where apart from the iPhone 7, the second-generation Apple Watch will also be revealed.

If leaks and rumours are to be believed, the iPhone 7 is expected to look nearly identical to the iPhone 6s, but with some significant changes:

• Apple is expected to launch three iPhone 7 models – iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 Pro.
• The next iPhone is expected to have a dual camera setup
• There have also been rumours of stereo speakers, and no 3.5 mm headphones jack on the device (which is gearing up to be the biggest challenge for Apple)
• It also might have a smart connector
• The new model is expected to be more water resistant
• Apple might also do away with the 16GB entry model and move up to a 32GB model as well

Quite obviously, Apple iPhone 7 is the most talked about device this year, so tech analysts and Apple fans are eager to know what changes Apple has made in the newest models. People are also expecting a rational logic/explanation as to why this new device will have no headphone jack amidst opinions that it’s not a consumer-friendly move. 

Most importantly, this will be a crucial launch for the company which needs to boost its sagging iPhone sales. For the first time since 2003, the company’s revenue significantly dropped this year and a major reason was the the drop in iPhone sales.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 7 are expected to open on Friday September 9th and sales will commence one week later on September 16th.
