iPhone 7 release date, specs: Will an A10 chip make a big difference?

Apple has reportedly called off plans for iPhone 6C.Facebook/Apple

Seeing the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus as nothing more than upgraded versions of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Apple loyalists are starting to outline their speculations and apparent wishes for the iPhone 7.

Of course, it seems a bit premature to start expecting for now; but as with other smartphones, it would never hurt to speculate and, well, make a wish list of things you would want to see for the next iPhone variant.

An earlier report  mentioned that the iPhone 7 will most likely come in September of 2016, the usual month that Apple debuts its latest iPhone devices. For now, there is no official word on what new specs it will carry, understandably so since the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus has just come out into the open.

In the same report, it was mentioned that the device is likely to come out with an A10 chip and be armed with a new iOS, hopefully better compared to the bug-plagued operating systems that have been coming out lately.

As for the A10 chip, it seems almost certain that the device will run on it, seeing reports baring that the company has already placed large orders for the A10 chip from Taiwan.

So what enhancements are there to expect aside from the supposed and more powerful A10 chip? Well, it was mentioned that the camera could get a big boost as well, one with six-element lenses.

If there is one thing that Apple could do well is to probably make it thinner and lighter. With the latest iPhones a bit heavy on the pocket, the next iPhone could possibly be something that can be carried around easily.

Hence, some design modifications could be neat as well. Could there be relocated buttons in the iPhone 7?

Truthfully, it is too early to tell. With about a year to go, rumors are expected to come flying in so it would be best to keep tabs on the latest developments.
