More rumors on the iPhone 7

More iPhone 7 rumors—and most likely confirmed!
  1. There will most likely be three variants this time round, as I'm sure some of you actually miss a much smaller phone that can be easily used with one hand. It will most likely be called the iPhone 6C instead of the iPhone 7 Mini. No confirmed screen size yet and of course specs you can expect it to be less powerful than what the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus would offer.
Apple usually don't start with new technology until they are sure what they are getting into and they are sure that they can do it right—for example, their upgrade to LTE bands and also a higher MegaPixel camera took much longer but when it happens, it is that much more effective.

2. No more headphone jack
This new approach has been spreading since a few months back but seems like its most likely confirmed this time round—I can also predict that Beats will most likely start some Apple exclusive headphones for the Lightning connector.

The audiophile definitely hates this update—but I can see how this will benefit those who mostly use their phones for music (which I don't do often) but imagine being stuck to default Apple headphones or some future Beats headphones. Beats headphones have improved but it is just not a good idea as it might stop others from wanting to swap to the new iPhone.

3. Moving on to their R&D, it seems like Apple is thinking of swapping out the Lightning connector and move towards a USB Type C similar to their newest Macbook. I feel neutral towards this but I would love to see what other variants Apple can come up with—really looking forward to a confirmed IP67 variant although some for their newer iPhones seem to have been secretly water resistant.

Let me know in the comments on what you would like to see on the new iPhone and which variant would you love to own the most!
