Apple iPhone 7 Release with iOS 9 To Feature Wireless Charging Support And Surprising Specs

Several reports suggest that Apple will soon be releasing the iPhone 7 series with the iOS 9 in tow. As iPhone sales continue to bring in big numbers, there are high expectations on Apple's next offering. Some of these include better build, wireless charging, new Siri and overall better interface. Can Apple deliver more improved software and hardware offerings? Will it be able to continue its successful streak?

There was a lot of hype over the iPhone 6s over the past few months but Ming-Chi Kuo sought to debunk such, claiming that Apple may go for the iPhone 7 series instead of the iPhone 6s. Kuo further said in a note that because of the significant changes in the interface of the device, naming it iPhone 7 would be logical for Apple instead of just 6s. As the analyst claims: "We believe that iPhone's Force Touch sensor doesn't directly detect the pressure applied by fingers. Instead, it monitors the contact area on which the finger touches the screen to decide how big the pressure is."

More importantly, since the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 6s are expected to drop with better features, the much-awaited wireless charging has now come up again in talks. Since the feature was expected to come to the iPhone 5s but did not push through, more people are expecting it to come along with the new hardware, with possible support from the iOS 9.

Other expected features include a redesigned Siri. Although iOS 9 will not have a flashy design and is expected to feature more security updates, there are also expectations that Apple will provide a new, redesigned Siri. Also, the iOS 8.4 has been linked to a Beats-powered music service, which should be another feature to watch out for.

Apple has not provided any final details about the rumoured software and hardware yet. It is best for users to take each expected feature with a grain of salt.
