Apple iPhone 7 Pro Pics Reveal Smart Connector and Dual Cameras

More iPhone 7 rumors surface to reveal interesting iPhone 7 features that we could possibly see later this year. Apple presented iPhone SE this spring however the 4-inch handset is not the only handset model customers can purchase in 2016. The ‘fruit’ giant has plans to launch iPhone 7.

There are some pics with iPhone 7 specs that show Smart Connector, dual cameras and other interesting options. There would be no details about this future smartphone from Apple since the company usually introduces the gadgets to users during public events.

The iPhone 7 Pro schematics were published in one Japanese magazine. The name iPhone 7 Pro hasn’t been confirmed by Apple. It is only mentioned by the media. The images show a handset with similar to iPhone 6s Plus size [even the same 7.3 mm thickness]. It features dual cameras on the back. Apple seems to remove the 3.5 mm headphone jack.

If these image are real we will see the new iPhone 7 which won’t be much thinner than the iPhone 6s Plus [we might not hear about this next gen phone during WWDC 2016 conference]. The gadget also gets Smart Connector but there are no other details about this handset.

Designers are also thinking about the next generation iPhone. There are different iPhone 7 concepts however there is no official information about the gadget’s specs, features, options and design.

Apple is sure that its iPhone SE is pretty demanded by customers while experts are sure that this model is the biggest mistake made by ‘fruit’ company. Could the new iPhone 7 get higher sales than the extremely popular iPhone 6?

Apple Watch 2 to Feature Improved Processor?

Wanna hear some new Apple Watch 2 rumors? Apple is believed to improve its next generation smartwatch. We have no idea when the company is planning to unveil this device since many experts prediction Watch update for spring 2016 which hasn’t happened yet.

Apple Watch 2 specs mentioned in the most recent reports include better processor and cellular connectivity. The Cupertino-based giant is believed to be working on its next gen model. The company could present it along with iPhone 7 in the fall or wait till spring 2017.

Interesting Apple Watch 2 features also include a standalone modem that should make the smartwatch independent from smartphone. In other words, the second generation Watch 2 should function on its own and not completely depend on iPhone as it happens with original Apple Watch device.

The powerful Apple Watch 2 processor is needed to make the gadget independent and interesting for potential customers. The ‘fruit’ giant managed to sell around 12 million Apple Watch units in 2015 [learn why people buy Apple smartwatch]. This is pretty cool for the smartwatch and still there are many consumers who weren’t impressed by the idea. Apple wants to catch attention of its fans and is believe to be improving the device to bring it to the market in the future and make as attractive to users as possible.

The iPhone itself is an independent gadget that is extremely popular across the world. Apple’s other products [iPad and Mac lineup] are also highly demanded by customers and this is not surprising that the iOS giant wants to make its Apple Watch also interesting to masses.

When Apple Holding WWDC 2016 Event This Summer

With fast summer approach users wonder when Apple WWDC 2016 event will take place. This annual conference is popular among developers and ordinary users who like to follow the famous ‘fruit’ company, test its new firmwares and hear more about next generation gadgets.

Apple said nothing about WWDC 2016 announcement yet. User are expecting to hear something about the future iOS 10 since right now the company is busy with updating its mobile platform to version iOS 9.3.2. Users can currently download iOS 9.3.1 as it should fix some iOS 9.3 issues and bugs experienced on new 4-inch iPhone SE and older smartphones.

Worldwide Developers Conference is a long awaited event. It usually takes place in early June. This is why experts think that WWDC 2016 date should be June 13 – June 17. Apple would unlikely postpone its popular developers conference to July. Besides there is one interesting tip you can try.

Your Siri assistant knows more than you do. Ask Siri ‘When is WWDC’ and you’ll be surprised when it responds that the dates are June 13 through June 17. Siri also says that the 2016 conference will take place in San Francisco. Can’t you also wait till this event? By the way, AT&T has increased its iPhone upgrade fees so you might think of SIM unlocking and choosing a different network.

Some users who tried to perform this trick earlier heard that WWDC was no announced yet however there seems to be an update and Apple has most likely shared the dates to promote its upcoming conference among users.

Apple Pay Arrives to Singapore but Still Limited

There were many talks about Apple Pay Singapore launch which was planned to the fall 2015 [the service should come to France soon]. The ‘fruit’ giant expended its mobile payment presence outside the U.S. and is now available in a number of countries. Apple Pay in Singapore is also available but it arrives only in the spring 2016.

It is curious that no public announcements were made prior to Apple Pay arrival to Singapore. The company added all the changes silently. For example, the official website already has a list of supported documents. Still not all iPhone users who can use Apple Pay are able to do this in Singapore at the moment. The ‘fruit’ giant still has to improve this service and extend to different cardholders.

Right now if you live or are visiting Singapore you can pay for goods and services with Apple Pay if you have American Express credit or debit card. The iPhone maker works in partnership with American Express and this is the reason why other cards are not supported right now. If you have American Express card you can add it to your Apple Pay and use all stores that support this mobile payment system. By the way, Apple Pay should also arrive to Japan, Brazil and Hong Kong in 2016.

The iPhone creator should soon bring support for all major banks credit cards including Visa in Singapore. This is just a matter of time when this happens and customers get more payment options available to them.

The ‘fruit’ mobile payment is present on newest iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, older iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The service is working in the United States and some other countries across the world including China, Canada, the UK and Australia.
