Apple Mania: The Craziest iPhone 7 Rumors

Apple Inc.

may not release iPhone 7 before September, but the rumor mills continue to churn out interesting tales about the upcoming gadget from the Cupertino, California-based tech giant. The most noticeable speculation is iPhone 7 doesn't need to be charged at all. A report from greentechmedia, citing a new patent, says Apple could be planning to embed solar cells beneath its touchscreens that would recharge the device throughout the day. http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/is-apple-preparing-to-make-a-solar-powered-iphone Apple is rumored to launch iPhone without a headphone jack, indicating the company might be factoring only Bluetooth and Lightning-connected headphones, according to a report on Macworld. Citing a new leaked case for iPhone 7, the report noted that the phone might have "two equally sized speaker grills on each side of the Lightning port slot, confirming that the iPhone 7 will be the first to sport two speakers for stereo sound." http://www.macworld.com/article/3029451/hardware/iphone-7-rumors-its-all-about-the-camera.html According to MacRumors, a recent Apple patent indicates the possibility of a dual-lens camera for iPhone 7. The iPhone 7's camera is said to take two separate pictures, or use one of the lenses to shoot video and the other to take photos. http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/07/apple-dual-camera-iphone-interface/ Apple could also make iPhone 7 waterproof as making the phone thinner and adding a DLSR-quality shooter won't move the sales needle enough. If Apple manages to make iPhone 7 waterproof (possible with a waterproof coating), then it would be a real game-changer for Apple.
