Apple's iPhone lineup is expected to get a significant boost later this year in the form of the iPhone 7. As is the tradition every year, multiple news outlets have reported that the handset will have some new groundbreaking features. A report from The Wall Street Journal is now mentioning that Apple will include water resistance on the new flagship. This is in no way a groundbreaking feature as Samsung's flagships already have this feature, while Sony has been using water resistance on their devices since time immemorial.
Another crucial feature with the new iPhone is said to be the storage variants.Apple has been criticized for selling 16GB iPhones even after knowing how much storage iOS takes. It seems like the company is finally listening to its critics. Starting this year, the iPhone lineup will apparently start with a 32GB base model, ditching the 16GB version for good.
The iPhone 7 is also rumored to be using a Lightning port based headphone jack(sans the 3.5mm port) in order to keep the thickness at bay. This will be a hit-or-a-miss kind of a feature knowing how the customers might have to rely solely onApple's Lightning headphones or third-party Bluetooth headphones to enjoy media content on their devices. Perhaps there will be an adapter of some sort made available at a future date to hook up 3.5mm headphones with the Lightning port.
The report goes on to mention that there won't be any drastic design changes as Apple will reserve it for the iPhone 8, which should arrive in two years from now.
