Apple iPhone 7 Launch Date Is Revealed - And There Are Big Changes Coming

Apple has sent out invitations for a September 7th event - where it is expected to unveil a new iPhone with some big changes.

The invitation seems to show lens flare - hinting that the long-standing rumour of a new iPhone with a dual camera system is true.

Phones such as LG’s G5 and Huawei’s P9 already offer dual camera systems - used to boost image quality without making the phones ‘fatter’.

Apple is expected to launch a larger, dual-camera model of iPhone - allowing it to capture brighter photos with more detail.

Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities said earlier this year, ‘In our view, more high-end smartphones will adopt this feature going forward. And, in order to maintain its leading position in the high-end market, we expect Apple will fully adopt dual-camera on the new 5.5-inch iPhone in 2H16.’

Apple could also launch new MacBooks and a new model of Apple Watch at the event.

Many also expect Apple to remove the headphone jack from the new handset - meaning that users will be forced to use an adaptor with older headphones.

Various reports have suggested that Apple is considering ditching the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, in favour of headphones which plug in via the Lightning port.
