Next month's iPhone is expected to be much different from what is in your hand.

According to Bloomberg, the larger iPhone 7 will be equipped with a dual-camera system designed to capture brighter photos with more detail.

This upgrade is just one of many rumors surrounding the iPhone 7 designs, as both models are set to have a home button that reads different inputs, but will be missing the traditional headphone jack.

Next month’s iPhone will be equip with a dual-camera system capable of capturing brighter photos with more detail and cameras that can merge two images into one. It is also said to be missing the traditional headphone jack, similar to this concept drawing of an iPhone 7

WHAT SOURCES SAY ABOUT THE IPHONE 7 LINE

According to Bloomberg, next month’s iPhone will be equip with a dual-camera system capable of capturing brighter photos with more detail and cameras that can merge two images into one.

Users will also have to throw out their white iconic headphones, as there will not be a headphone jack - sources say it will be replaced by a second speaker.

And the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will have the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inc screens as their predecessors.

‘The standout features will be a dual-camera system on the larger iPhone, a re-engineered home button that responds to pressure with a vibrating sensation rather than a true physical click and the removal of the devices’ headphone jack, said the people, who didn’t want to be identified discussing unannounced features,’ reports Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.

DailyMail.com has contacted Apple for comment and has yet to hear a response.

Although the handsets may be designed with new features, display sizes are not expected to change.

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will have the same 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens as their predecessors.

Sources also told Bloomberg that Apple removed the two innermost antenna lines that line the back of the current phones.

The dual camera has been a long running rumor for the iPhone 7 and just a few months ago, a patent surfaced that illustrates this technology - sending the internet into a frenzy over the iPhone 7 Plus having ‘superzoom’ capabilities.

According to Bloomberg’s sources, who claim to have used a prototype of the highly anticipated devices, this new system will snap brighter pictures in low-light environments and with more detail.

WHY WOULD APPLE DITCH THE HEADPHONE JACK?

Getting rid of the headphone jack would help Apple shrink the iPhone 7's thickness considerably.

Its latest smartphone, the Phone 6s, is 7.1 mm (0.27) thick but removing the 3.5mm jack could drop this by a further by one mm (0.04 in).

Such a shift would also mean larger, stereo headphones using an internal battery would be able to draw power directly from the iPhone - or other devices, if the change is enforced across the Apple board.

Elsewhere, Lightning-based headphones would experience less 'crosstalk', or signal interference.

However, the dual-camera system will only be available to those who dish out the extra bucks for the larger iPhone.

The lenses, which each snap colour differently, will merge together to make one detailed image.

This technology would also allow users to zoom in on the object, place or person with more clarity, sources said.

The home button has not been discussed too much this year, but it seems Apple could have big plans for this mechanism in the new models.

‘Current home buttons are switches that physically press into the phone, but the new models will have a pressure-sensitive button that employs so-called haptic feedback,’ according to Bloomberg’s’ sources.

This technology is expected to be similar to the trackpads implemented in the latest MacBook line and what was reported by 9TO5Mac earlier this year.

Sources told the Ben Lovejoy that although the home button will still be a physical mechanism, it will ‘feature haptic feedback to simulate a click using the same approach as Force Touch’ – which was a new addition to the iPhone 6 line.

And the rumor that can be heard echoing all over the internet might actually be true.

Numerous leaks and sources have surfaced over the past year reveaingl a major change in the the upcoming iPhones, no headphone jack, which Bloomberg says will be replaced with a second speaker.

Users will also have to make use of connectivity using Bluetooth and the charging port to setup wireless headphones.

WHAT DOES THE INTERNET SAY ABOUT THE IPHONE7?

One rumor has been debunked, which suggest there will be a single speaker instead of the dual speaker setup users had hoped for.

But one thing that has stayed consistent is the dimension of both models, which were first revealed last year.

According to reports, the iPhone 7 will have a 3,100mAh battery, which is 12.5 percent bigger than the iPhone 6S Plus.

But although your phone will stay powered longer, it could also mean the casing around it could be thicker.

What could be very exciting for iOS users is that Apple might be fixing the annoying ‘there is not enough available storage…’ issue with a 256GB this year.

Another annoying feature that might be on Apple's to-do list is strengthening the phone’s water-resistance.

This doesn't say the phone will be water-proof, but it could make a world of a difference if you drop your phone in liquid.

Another rumor hit the internet just last month that put an even bigger twist on the mystery, claiming next month's Apple smartphones will not be called the iPhone 7 at all.

Instead, it will be called the iPhone 6SE - leaving the iPhone 7 for next year, when apple is expected to introduce a major overhaul of its iconic handset.

The report from Apfelpage comes from Chinese supply chain sources, who claim to have have seen packaging and labeling that indicates the new phone will be called the ‘iPhone 6SE’.

'Given the more-iterative changes and similar design, it is not out of the question for Apple to brand the new iPhone as a continuation of the iPhone 6 line,' says 9to5Mac.
