iPhone 7 Leaks

Never thought about it being for wireless charging, that's a great point. I could see it being used just for a keyboard for now, and the next year it will already be part of the design and people will be familiar with it, and then they can start using it for wireless charging on the iPhone 8.
iPhone 7 cases have been released by Oppomart even though the smartphone is yet to launch.
They have probably guessed at the specs, that's what they do every year. However i wouldn't be surprised to see that it's correct. I'm not so sure about the smart connector on the back, the only reason i can see Apple adding it would be for a battery case or wireless charing kind of like the Apple Watch, it's not really wireless but without having to plug the cable into the lighting port, possibly freeing it up for lighting connected headphones.

256GB would be a great addition, don't forget there is now 4K filming on the iPhone and Live Photos, plus if Apple add Dual camera feature to the 7 it will probably bump up the file size of regular photos.
waterproof
wireless charging
if true that would make it not as bad an upgrade as we expect if the camera is much improved too

Yes that's a great point. I doubt will apple interduce 256 gb this year
There have been leaks suggesting they will, but we will have to wait until September when the iPhone 7 is announced, to find out.
They added 256GB on the ipad so they will on the iphone. It’s pretty much guaranteed
+ one thing more it will be great if they put 256GB in 128 gb price bracket
What they will probably do is announce the 32GB at the same price as what the 16GB was and then offer 128GB as a big jump which will tempt most people and then offer the 256GB as the top version. A few people think that offering 256GB in a phone is too much storage BUT don't forget there are people who use the iPhone camera as their main camera (I'm one of those) and with Apple Music more people are downloading and keeping music on their phones, plus photos and apps, so i think a 256GB makes sense and Apple know this. I do think the 256GB version could be pricey tho.
agreed
I mean I have 128GB 6s plus and have only 25 GB left and i've got no films or tv shows on there just pics, apps and music.
I think you have proved my point
i'm personally looking forward to a 256GB option along with the dual camera i think it will be a great update regardless, roll on September How are you going to do wireless charging with the the smart connector? The whole point of wireless charging is to do it with no connections. Plus, you'll have to put it in some dock or something. And you can just do that with the Lightning connector.
Keyboard case, you can also do that with the Lightning connector. Plus, Apple would never make a keyboard case, nobody would get it.
I'm excited too! The iPhone 7 will be a great upgrade from my 6, it will be great to have the 128gb so I basically don't have to ever think about storage, the refined design will be nice, and the camera improvements will be welcome, not to mention 3D Touch and the 6s improvements too.I think you have proved my point
I mean what do you think that connector is for if we can use lighting port for both wireless charging and keyboard connectivity

Agree! With these two features and 256 GB model I would love to upgrade from my iPhone 6s.
Thing is I'm sure Apple has other features to the 7 that's unknown at this point
One would hope

Except that TouchID doesn't work as well as the Nexus Imprint on the Nexus 6P/5X. I had a Nexus 6P before my iPhone 6S Plus and one thing I did notice was that TouchID on the iPhone isn't near as accurate as the Nexus one. Even with wet fingers I could unlock my Nexus device whereas with my iPhone even slightly damp fingers blocks the phone from being unlocked.
Honestly no idea. I don't know why they're putting the Smart Connector anyway. They're removing the headphone jack to make everything accessible through one connector, but they're just adding an extra one. Makes no sense.
