Apple is said to release the new iPhone 7 before 2016 ends to ensure its domination of the smartphone market. Although the Cupertino-based company has yet to provide an official statement with regard to its upcoming rollout, many fans believe that it is only a matter of time before Apple announces its arrival.

Every iPhone release has been a success and Apple followers think that the new model will be no different. According to reports, consumers are definitely going to be surprised once the new iPhone comes out as it will introduce new features such as the rumored dual camera technology. Although, this is no longer something new to tech freaks, an Apple device with this type of feature will definitely raise the bar in the competition.

According to a report by Apple Insider, there will be two versions of iPhone 7 that will come out – one with the traditional single rear snapper, while the other one sports a dual camera. The publication suggested that the iPhone 7 with dual camera feature will also come with a 5.5-inch display. This report was allegedly obtained by renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Security.

Another feature that is rumored to be included is the waterproofing technology, which will attract adventure=seeking people once it hits the market.

Nonetheless, these rumors have yet to be confirmed by Apple. Fans must wait for the official announcement before making assumptions.

Meanwhile, several reports suggest that Apple will release the iPhone 7 earlier than expected because of the current model's sluggish sales. Fans and critics are expecting the company to reveal the new device at the upcoming event in September. Apple Insider reported that the tech giant is experiencing slow market sales from iPhone 6 and iPhone SE, which made the company decide to release the new iPhone 7 before this year ends.
