iPhone 7 release date, news and rumors

iPhone 7 release date 

 If we were betting folk, we'd bet the house on the fact the iPhone 7 will launch in September 2016. Apple sticks to a schedule and the last few iPhones have all been launched in the month of September. Oh, there's a possibility it could be earlier, as according to a 'reliable source' Apple might actually bring it to market earlier. Sadly, how much earlier is unclear and we hear this rumor every year. It never happens. It will take a while to finish development and manufacturer of the phone, so we wouldn't expect to see it before September. Autumn is exactly when iOS 10 is due. It just makes sense for September. TechRadar's take: Don't book holiday in the first half of September if you want to see everything about the launch... More: What WWDC secretly told us about iPhone 7  

 iPhone 7 cost

 Hottest leaks: Prices to remain static Smallest storage size to increase to 32GB for same cost The iPhone cost rarely varies from year to year, and price rumors from Weibo suggest just that. That means the iPhone 7 price will be around US$649 (£539, AU$1079), but here's the good news: for that money you'll apparently get 32GB of storage rather than 16GB. At the top end it will be more expensive than the US$849 / £699 / AU$1379 iPhone 6S 128GB, but you'll apparently get 256GB of storage. There's some confusion over whether there will be a 64GB or 128GB 'middle option': a leak from WeChat, spotted by BGR, agree on the prices for all three sizes, with the middle choice coming in at 6088 yuan, which is the same price as the mid-sized (64GB) iPhone 6S in China, around £619 / US$749 / AU$1229. The sources can't agree on is whether you'll get 64GB of storage or 128GB for that money - 32GB, 64GB and 128GB options seem the most likely. TechRadar's take: A larger base storage option, but very little price rise as the iPhone is already at the top end of acceptable cost.
