Apple iPhone 7 will have a bigger camera, shows leaked photo

As this 9to5Mac report notes, the dual-camera component will be exclusive to the 5.5 inch iPhone 7 Plus screen size, while the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 also gets a camera upgrade. The photos appear to be in line with earlier rumours that have hinted a dual-camera set up for iPhone 7 Plus.

Apple iPhone 7 is also expected to end the 3.5 mm headphone jack, but according to a recent report in the Wall Street Journal, bigger design changes like an OLED curved display will only come in iPhone 8.

WSJ had reported Apple will only go for “subtle changes in the models,” maintaining the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display. The report does not speak of any camera upgrade.

Earlier a report on Apple Insider, quoted an investor note by Credit Suisse which also said Apple iPhone 7 will see a ‘muted’ upgrade cycle. The report by Credit Suisse analyst Kulbinder Garcha is also quoted by WSJ. According to the note, iPhone in 2017–which also marks ten-years of the iPhone–will see a major design upgrade.

According to Apple Insider, Garcha’s note reads, “We see a number of features and upgrades, including an OLED [organic light-emitting diode] screen, full glass display, no home button, enhanced Taptic Engine, improved camera, and wireless charging in the iPhone 8.”

Apple iPhone 8 could come with a curved glass design similar to the earlier iPhone 4s, adds the note.

Apple iPhone 7 launches in September 2016, and in an interview to CNBC, Apple Tim Cook had said it would convince users to upgrade. Cook had admitted iPhone 6s didn’t see such a strong upgrade cycle.
