After Apple was able to sell a combined unit figure of 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units in just three days, the company will no doubt be contemplating on how it is going to break its sales record when it gears up to launch the successor to its flagship device, the iPhone 7. 

Rumor has it that the iPhone 7 is also going to be called the iPhone 6s and compared to the upcoming device's predecessors, it will possess an even slimmer form factor, which might worry future customers due to past incidents of the expensive iPhones being bent after enough force was exerted on them. 

However, it is expected that the company will be retaining the same screen sizes as the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which means that it is possible that the iPhone 7 will also be shipping out in two variants, although this has not been confirmed by Apple. However, as far as future smartphones go, they are always assimilated with better performing components so for the iPhone 7, the chipset is likely to be none other than the company's A9 SoC, which is reportedly being produced by Samsung. 

After the Cupertino tech giant replaced TSMC with the South Korean phone maker as its chief manufacturer and supplier, the performance delivered by the upcoming device will likely obscure everything that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were able to achieve. It has been reported that TSMC will be making 20 percent of the company's chips while Samsung will be making the remaining 80 percent.

The iPhone 7 will most likely be given a 2 GB upgrade when RAM is concerned. It has also been suggested that Apple will be increasing the maximum storage capacity on its iPhones from 128 GB to 256 GB, although those devices will undoubtedly be stamped with a ridiculous price tag. As for the platform, the iPhone 7 will most likely be running iOS 9 out-of-the-box, and Apple is speculated to maintain the same timeline that it undertook for the release of its large screen iPhones (September).
