As always, Apple holds it most coveted products for the annual fall event that takes place in September every year. Like the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, the Cupertino tech giant is expected to release the next generation of iPhones in late 2016.

Super thin body

Now industry experts are now speculating that Apple’s new phone will be thinner than ever. Apple has apparently filed a new patent for a new leaner D-shaped headphone plug, as the new device will not be able to hold the conventional round-shaped one, reports Pocket Lint.

As far as other speculations go, the next-generation iPhone due in 2016 will come with a thickness between 6mm to 6.5mm. As a result the iPhone 7 will have to get away with the Home Button and the Touch ID will be placed into the display instead.

More memory and better processor

Based on the details procured from Apple suppliers, Apple Insider reported that with the iPhone 7 Plus, the company might increase the RAM for even greater performance. The upcoming iPhone 7 may sport 2GB of RAM like the current iPhone 6s, but the larger screened iPhone 7 Plus may house 3GB of RAM.

According to rumours, Apple may even incorporate its brand new A10 processor into the portfolio of iPhone 7 in 2016. The next iteration of the iPhones will also debut with the upcoming version of the operating system, iOS 10, ensuring a blazing fast performance.

Hassle free charging

Users may never need to recharge an iPhone 7. Does that sound good? According to reports, Apple has been approved a patent for embedding a solar panel under its touch screen, which will help the device to be charged automatically throughout the day.

Few months back, there were also speculations floating all over the Web that Apple’s new iPhones will feature the world’s first hydrogen-powered batteries that will keep the lights on for seven days. It seems that Intelligent Energy, a U.K. based tech company is working on a path breaking new type of smartphone battery that can purportedly last a week for a single charge.

The company was said to be in talks with Apple to incorporate the hydrogen powered batteries into the existing iPhone 6, as reported by The Telegraph. One never knows, if Apple now plans to add the same into it iPhone 7. But there has been no official confirmation on the specs of iPhone 7.
