Apple's official announcement for the September 7 iPhone event hasn't stopped the rumours from flowing in. In fact they've picked up more speed, and today's set of leaks reveal the pricing details, reiterate the coming of the Space Black colour variant, and hint at the introduction of AirPods.
According to a report by Phoneradar, iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus are expected to come in three variants (based on storage) -- 32GB, 128GB and 256GB. While the iPhone 7 32GB is said to cost CNY 5288, the 128GB and 256GB variants are expected to costs CNY 6088 and CNY 7088 respectively.
As for the larger and more powerful iPhone 7 Plus, the 32GB, 128GB and 256GB versions are supposed to come with a price tag of CNY 6088, CNY 6888 and CNY 7888 respectively.
Converting the prices to Indian currency, the 32GB, 128GB and 256GB of iPhone 7 would approximately cost Rs 53,000, Rs 61,200 and Rs 71,250 respectively. While 32GB, 128GB and 256GB versions of iPhone 7 Plus would roughly cost Rs 61,200, Rs 69,200 and Rs 79,300 respectively.
However, since the above is straight conversion of China prices, one could expect the smartphones to cost more in India as import duties and other factors too come into play.
A separate leak on Japanese site Macotakara shows the SIM trays of all the colour variants that are expected to arrive with the next iPhone. The Space Black colour variant is also seen amongst the other colour variants. This leak indicates that Apple isn't getting rid of the Space Grey colour variant, but is adding Space Black as another option. The photo also reveals that the Space Black colour variant won't sport the soft finish seen on the other iPhones, but will instead sport the glossy finish seen on the 2013 Mac Pro.
We have heard for a long time that Apple is doing away with the traditional 3.5mm audio jack and how audio will be routed using the Lightning connector port instead. The leaked document confirms the same as the iPhone 7 Plus box would have EarPods with Lightning connector instead of those with a 3.5mm pin. This is enough evidence to confirm that the new iPhones will come without the 3.5mm audio jack.
Lastly, mobiltelefon.ru has spotted the new 'AirPods' on a device registration site in Europe. While there is no clarity on what these AirPods actually are, the name suggests that these are the leaked wireless EarPods that have been rumoured off and on.
As per some recent reports, the iPhone 7 will feature a 4.7-inch 3D touch display, while the iPhone 7 Plus is expected to feature a large 5.5-inch display. The company is also planning to increase the display resolution in the iPhone 7 to enable users to use the device for reading and app navigation.
The iPhone 7 is rumoured to be powered by Apple's A10 processor paired with 2GB RAM. The 'Plus' variant is said to feature the same processor with 4GB RAM.
As for the camera, the upcoming iPhone 7 is expected to bear a 12MP rear camera coupled with a 5MP front-facing snapper. As far as the iPhone 7 Plus is concerned, you can expect a 16MP rear camera. Both will be powered by the iOS 10 OS version.
AppleInsider also notes that the name AirPods was trademarked last year as a 'listening device'. Alongside, the AirPods, the listing also consists of other Apple devices that seem to hint at the arrival of the new Apple Watch 2.
